This weekend, we are doing all things Christmas! Tomorrow we are taking Nana out for lunch, followed by an afternoon Christmas decoration shopping! I love looking for new decs for the home. Have picked up some real bargains so far. Popped into B&Q this afternoon and picked up some gorgeous white felt shapes; hearts, dove, tree and snowflake for only 24p in teh sale! I picked everyone up to add to Christmas cards, which I still have to make, yikes!
Earlier in the week I picked up some chipboard angels and reindeer's from Tesco's, for cards and table decorations; a pack of 10 for £1.00, bargain!!
Sunday we are decorating the house and the tree, love this part! But before we start, I am making a whistle stop drop of to Crafty Stash Christmas workshop to say Hi to Tracie who is teaching, and I am sure there will be a few more familiar faces to say Hi to also!

Been doing a bit of blog browsing today and am loving

* these Hello Kitty Christmas tags
* this Christmas house, which the girls will love making and colouring in! (scroll down)
* Rhonda's cute button tree pillow
* Tarisota's recipe downloads
* Papertry Ink blog for Christmas cards and tags

I am a total addict when it comes to most things Japanese, especially when Momiji dolls and such are involved. On a recent viist to the Momiji official site I eye spied a few goodies in the Zakka section.
Zakka means bits and pieces in Japanese and it's our collection of super things to make life lovely.!

I am totally loving the pretty cupcake cases in a tin, with flags!

Look at this travel journal set,it's jam-packed with ideas, handy-hints and useful stuff, as well as plenty of room to sketch, doodle, plan, dream and document your adventures.

Loving this sticker tin with 54 stickers!

And how about these cute teaspoons!

And finally my fav doll at the moment.. is Blanche.

I have been a very busy scrapper finalising my class for tomorrow and baking lots! I baked 2 batches of chocolate chip cookies and 2 batches of brownies! 1 of each will be making it to the crop tomorrow.... I also made "homegrown" (that's what Lilly calls homemade!!) meatballs, tomato sauce and spaghetti, whilst Peter supplied the wine and cheesecake from M&S. Posh pud was in aid of my bestest friend Karen, who is visiting from Newcastle this week, Sadly she is leaving Tuesday, I had it in my head it was Wednesday, boohoo..
Will be back tomorrow with something to share, I know I have been promising this all week, but I really will, LOL

Did you celebrate World Book Week?

This week has not been the best on record. Had some news that completely knocked me for 6, and has taken me a few days to pick up the pieces, and with only days to go before my dads anniversary, blogging has been the furthest thing from my mind. BUT, driving home from workthis afternoon, I decided I needed to pull myself together and think of the stuff that has made me smile this week, so here is my five fav friday; stuff that has put a smile on this grumpy face!

Its been a while since I did one of these! but today has been full of some of my favorite moments from the summer holidays!

Its been a while since I did a Five Fav Friday, and this week I have some great favs to share:

on Saturday, oops!
This weeks five fav Friday is inspired by Easter, and my favourite things about this time of year..
- Marks and Spencer's Hot X Buns

Well its been an odd day! I have ended up coming down with Lilly's cough and such. Not great timing as I am teaching tomorrow at ATDML, and we are off to France in a week! I am sure I will be fit and well. hey I am going regardless!!

After a few days buried under a pile of very pretty stash, my Bad Girl layouts are done for this months reveal! This is one very pretty kit :) Beautiful ribbons, mulberry sewn paper (gasp!), crystals, the softest velvet flowers, and fabric :). It is a "OMG I can't cut into this!!!) type of kit, but cut into it you will.
Reveal Party night 9pm MST, 5am GMT at Bad Girls Kits - see you there (yes I am setting my alarm to come play with you gals, beware I will be wearing my pink fluffy dressing gown)

Just in time, here is this weeks five fav Friday!

This weeks Five Fav Friday goes like this!.....

- Loving this new manufacturer (well they are new to me!), Jillybean Soup.




All their collections are available on Kraft as well!

- Funky 3D chipboard and funky tab board books, so need some of these








- Need this desperately for my office and studio, boy i wish the dollar wasn't so weak at the moment!







- These are truly eclectic and divine. On my studio wish list. And really not a bad price at all!!!





- Girlie Friday nights with my Izzy, having our nails painted and putting on chocolate face masks! Nothing better than some me and Izzy time

and more Bad Girls sneaks

Love doing my five fav Friday, so here it goes for this week!
My favourite chocolate bar by far! Galaxy chocolate, mmmmmm



There is only one Brownie recipe I live by and that's Nigella Lawsons! In fact I live by all Nigellas recipes, love her books, and have them all, hehehe







How cute are these?! Pies and cakes baked in a jar






Fancy some cupcake lollipops? These are just so adorable!




(mmm i guess i am on a cooking theme this week, LOL)

My favourite cookware, Le Creuset pots and pans! I am saving up for a tangine.



Please leave me a comment with a link to your five fav Friday, its such fun don't you think! Feeling like a RAK this week. One lucky five fav friday poster will receive a bar of my favourite chocolate, GALAXY! I can tell you, this is a very hard thing for me to do, part with my galaxy....


And now for some BAD GIRL LOVE......









Have a great weekend. I am locking the doors, the food shop is being delivered first thing, wood has been cut and i am ready to chill all weekend!
