Oooops, I'm a little bit late blogging this...

sigh

They just make me so damn happy ;)

Said mistletoe has white berries not red...

But ya know what?

Thanks for visiting - I'm off to carve some pumpkins...Happy Halloween!

I'm making a list...

...of all the delish goodies I want my stocking to be filled with from here:

They very, very kindly sent me one of these last week...

...and I couldn't resist whipping up some shortbread to fill it with :)

Very easy to make and utterly scrummy - I'll add the recipe later

I was going to link up some other favourites from there, but there are just too many...I'll send you over to find your own favourites instead - feel free to link them up so I can go have a peek at them :)

Do make sure to have a look at their charity Christmas cards though, money raised will be headed to Cancer Research UK, a charity that is sadly, very dear to my heart - I'll definitely be stocking up with these...just in case I don't make enough myself... ;)

Seasons Greetings...

A very simple li'l share today, using one of Pink Petticoat's new releases...

Most days...

...I can't resist the call of my kitchen.

Yup, even on my days off work...

...which means I must spend around 400% more time cooking than anyone else in the world.

No wonder I permanently have either 3rd degree burns** or sliced off fingers...

**not actually true.

It turns out that if you cook for a living and burn yourself often enough, you actually develop something akin to rhino hide on your hands which stops you from burning.

There's a little fact they don't teach you in chef school.

Happy Mondays...

Little one...

An itty-bitty card for an itty-bitty boy...this Stampavie image by Mo Manning is definitely a favourite!

I've been asked recently why my posts are so brief these days - it's simple, Blogger and I don't get on any more. By the time it stops being so stoopid and actually lets me add pictures/add links/sign in even, I've kinda had enough. I'm hoping Blogger gets over itself very soon...

Hello sunshine...

There wasn't much sunshine in my day today...

...so I made myself a little bit :)

A very quick little card for one of the little Horrors friends - who likes dinosaurs and cheese apparently...
