So lets start with delicious chocolate cake. I just cant stop baking. This little masterpiece was for Mothering Sunday and an early birthday cake for Peter, who turns 38 tomorrow!!!!. My first proper chocolate cake I have ever baked, and i think it looks rather good, if i am allowed to say so, and it tasted bloody marvelous!Had a wonderful day yesterday, spoilt rotten by the girls and Peters mum, yes I had the most gorgeous posy of Spring flowers bought for me. The girlsbought me a Momiji doll each, lots of handmade cards, a box of love from Lilly and lots of goodies form Izzy , along with a homemade cake, am I just lucky or what, and to top it all of Peter greeted me with my own lil coffee plunger thing and a box of thornton chocolates.
It was also Pencil Lines sketch night, by the very talented Paula Sealey. I love my layout, which really does look so much nicer IRL. I used this months Scrapping Angels kit and actually scrapped some old photos. This is me and Lilly , yep look at that wrinkle free face and those young hands........
I also made this chipboard book for peters mum from the kit which is filled with photos of her 4 children as babies. I love this idea which i saw on another website, Journal me This, and think it can easily be adapted with "Nan", "Dad" etc etc, you don't have to use such large letters which will allow for a longer word. Kit subscribers will get step by step instructions in their PDF.Mmmm so what else have I been up to. Well i packed and posted the monthly kits, had lunch with my dearly beloved at The George Hotel in Buckden, went to see the Doc for a routine check up, did my run in hail and snow, I sure do pick my running days..... and ended the day with a homemade lasagna cooked by Peter, so a good day I should say....
Hope all you UK mums had a great day yesterday and were as spoilt with love and hugs as I was
Much Love

edited : want to apologize for a mini book "mum" on my blog that does not give full credits to the originator Kathy BI would never have attended to pass this as my own idea nor would I copy instructions and pass them on as mine. I had written on my blog that a had seen this somewhere. Now that Kathy has corrected me I will as soon as the address is sent to me, correct the details on my blog . Sincere apologizes for any upset this may have caused, this was never my intention.
