She has caught the scrapbooking bug and loves receiving new pages for her Scrapbook.

November Crop

The time has come to announce our next exciting Crop Challenge:

What with it being Halloween Season it seems fitting (and a little predictable... forgive me!) to set a Halloween Theme.

All entries must contain at least five of the following elements:

• orange cardstock
• halloween themed paper
• black cardstock
• the colour green (as gruesome as possible!)
• a witch
• a wizard
• a skeleton
• a ghost
• a spider's web
• a pumpkin
• a black cat
• a witch's broom
• orange buttons
• googly eyes
• black ribbon

Entries can come in the form of a layout or a piece of altered art....

HINT: there is a good possibility that the winner will be the craziest entry there.... so the more exteme the better - it is Halloween after all!!!!!

The prize will be a packet of our gorgeous co-ordinating ribbon kits.

The next crop is on Saturday 1st November in Monkstown Village Community Centre. Entries can be completed prior to or on the day of the crop.

my birthday cake for Sarah....

Am laughing out loud at the comments under this post - I blogged this pic last night and when I logged on to edit the post (i.e. write some info!!!),blogger was down for maintenance... and haven't been on since then.... so yes, this is a cake which I made last night for my daughters 3rd birthday today and it was YUM!!!!
