Saying Goodbye to Oscar

Today was a bit of a sad day for me, as I had to bury one of my Koi.  Oscar just didn’t make it through, what with the move from the old house to the holding tank and then into the new pond, coupled with the very cold weather we have just had. 
He was about [...]

Close up pictures of the Fairy Birthday Cake

I’ve had a few requests for more pictures of the cake which I iced for Honey’s 6th Birthday last month (posted at THIS post), so here are some close ups of the cake (below).

I did use some scrapbooking supplies on this project!  The wings are cut from a sheet of acetate and I used Stickles [...]

A Scrapbooking Tearoom? Special Announcement!

Oh yes indeed… I have a Special Announcement to make!

Halloween 2009

Well we had a little party for Halloween yesterday evening, and then a quick round of Trick or Treating.  With Honey’s school friends and the children (and adults) from the neighbouring houses the party went well.
Here we are in our outfits, and when I tell you that it cost only £22 for BOTH outfits including [...]

Autumn Photos

I am very pleased (on a regular basis) that I finally took the plunge to get a mobile phone with a decent camera in it!  I even saved myself £10 per month in the process which was a bonus!  But it means I can take pictures wherever I go, as I almost always have the [...]

Southwold Seaside Pictures

My mum visited us last weeked for a couple of days and we managed some scrapbooking together, which was nice.  She bought me some stash for my birthday, including a pack of Basic Grey “Porcelain” and some Rhonna Farrer mini bag-o-buttons in “French Twist” Colours - both being basically pale greens and pinks… which happen [...]

A Heartfelt Blog Post - no scrapbooking!

I’ve been blogging about Scrapbooking for 0ver three years…  starting on the old blog and this year on this one.  In that time I have spent a LOT of time preparing the projects, the photos of the projects, and writing the articles.
I have to say though that this sort of output, including the newsletter and [...]

It’s My Birthday! Anyone for Cupcakes?

Yep… it’s my birthday today!  I usually keep quiet (as I have gotten older) but I thought… sod it… I’m gonna tell everyone and make some effort.  So here’s a picture of the cupcakes I iced at 8.30am this morning!

I got a box of chocs from my daughter, who apparently is expecting to SHARE them [...]
