Masterchef Masagne

Lasagne Ingredients

Hi Everyone,

My daughter had a  "Masterchef Challenge" at her school last week.  Her challenge was a main course meal. My daughter decided  (with the help of dad) to make a Lasagne. She renamed it "Maddie's Masagne".   The end result was really tasty. There were some fantastic dishes served up at her school and I have included some of those photos.

Have a good day.

White





Hi Everyone,


I don't have anything crafty for you this week. I am however supposed to be making a card for my mum's birthday.  I am posting to A Rosy Note this week. The Theme for  Photo Feature Friday is "White".  I am experimenting with my camera and love having themes to attempt.  There are lots of good ideas from all who post to A Rosy Note including Tricia the Party Host.   I couldn't make up my mind which pics to use, so I thought that I would just post them all. The fun part is photographing all the different scenarios to adapt the theme.


Have a great weekend.

Mother's Day



Don't you just looove Mother's Day.   I made a card for my mum and mil  (same) for mother's day.

The card was made using the following.

Paper.     Chocolate Chip , Papermania  Capsule Collection Heather Paper Pack.
Lace        Lace purchased from local craft store
Flowers   Local Craft Store
Brooch    This is actually an earring that I purchased from a second hand store.
Image       I have this in a vintage image folder. I am sorry I don't from where. It was from one of the vintage image sites. I usually like to link to that site.


My son and daughter actually used their own money for the first time to each buy me a mother's day present. My son bought me a box of choccies and a magazine. I opened the card from my son to find two five dollars notes stuck to the inside.  A little message on the card said "This is to put towards the caravan"  We have just recently purchased a van and had been talking about tightening the budget.  It's the little things like these that remind me about the joy of being a mum.  My son then proceeded to tell me how much everything was.  (I had a little giggle to myself) 


We travelled down to my mil's place for the weekend. They live on an island and to get there we catch a ferry. On one trip to the other side the ferry driver presented all mother's with a lovely long stem rose. A very nice gesture. I will be posting to A Rosy Note blog for her Photo Feature Friday. Her theme  this week is Spring. We are in Autumn here. The colour of the rose is a nice autumn tone.

Afternoon Tea

Good Evening once again.

(Hope that you are wearing yor tiaras for the Royal Wedding today/tonight)

I have recently joined  a site called Big Picture Classes and one of the workshops is called Picture Inspiration.  The workshop allows the student to add their photos each week based on the current theme.  This weeks theme is titled "Dishing It Out".  The theme is about favourite dishes that you have in the kitchen. I purchased 4 parfait glasse recently at a second hand store. I really like their style.  When I saw this topic today, I immediately knew which dishes I would use. My daughter bought a couple of friends home from school. Aaah the perfect serving dish for afternoon tea.

I am linking up to "Live Every Moment" blog and the theme for this week is "Anything"

Easter Tag



Oh My Goodness!

I have finally started crafting again.  I have been missing in action for a while.  I have just not been in the "crafting zone" so to speak. We were away in January for three weeks, enough for me to lose any creative flow.  However , I did enjoy the wonderful break that we had. I hope that this is one of many posts.  I have been looking at "Our Vintage Affair" blog and admiring the tags in the "Easter Tag Challenge". I thought I might have a go at making a tag and see if I can find any more inspiration.  The tags that have been created by other bloggers are really lovely.  I have also just discovered  "A Rosy Note" blog and she has a "Photo Feature Friday" .  I have a new camera that was presented to me from my wonderful family (Early Feb) and I want to start experimenting. I am linking to this site as well.

Tag made with the following products:

Flowers :  Prima
Ribbon:    Local Craft store
Button:     Local Second hand store
Paper:      Laura Ashley  Love Song Velvet Paper Pack
                Stamping Up! Cardstock.



Have a great Easter!
