 From All Things Katie,  frozen smoothie packs.  If you are into smoothies, this could be a real time and money saver for you.   She made 57 smoothies at the cost of approximately $1.30 each.  Not bad.

Borders and accessories to go with the artwork I've done thus far.  And I was awake at 3 o'clock tis morning thinking of more.

I've had very positive feedback on these  Yay!

A thought to carry with you through today  . . .

“Far away there in the sunshine 
are my highest aspirations. 
I may not reach them, 
but I can look up and see their beauty, 
believe in them, 
and try to follow where they lead.”

  3. Thanks Sybil. Someone from the show called me yesterday to ask me if they could interview me about Cooking in the UK on the show. It's on BBC 4 tonight, about 7:30. Don't know for sure if I will make it on as they might run short of time if someone else takes up too much. I just need to be prepared just in case. xoxo

    Sounds like you are having a few good days Suzan! I like that! xoxo

  8. I don't know about that Pam! haha I am just me. They didn't call so I guess I won't be on the show. No matter. Happy with things just as they are!

    Thanks Monique! I think stickers like this would be fabulous. I hope they do go down well at the trade show. Been working on more today! xoxo

    I can see you making those Amalia! xoxo

  9. My gosh the week has went flying by.
    I am just so amazed by all your finds. I loved the frozen smoothies and have book marked the page. The bibs are adorable. The Lego duplo with wash tape was perfect because so many of my grandchildren love legos. It is amazing what you can do with a mason jar.
    Blessings and hugs for you!
