year of the cake is going ok, this is the first one...banana and walnut loaf...Delia recipe.

week two was a bakewell tart,recipe from the Be Ro book.


Week three, is orange and poppy seed, a combination of an old recipe of mine and one I found online.


I have also made some books, this is a paper bag book. It's made with 4 green bags and decorated with DCWV papers.

It's filled with photos taken at a xmas party back in December. I gave this to a friend who was there, I have another set of the same photos to do a book for myself.

This is a 'no glue' book, made by lots of folding and held together by the pencil. I am going to use it as an 'on the go' travel journal next weekend. It is my birthday on the 1oth, so Ian is taking me away for a few days. Firstly we are off to Manchester next sunday, having coffee and cake with friends, then onto a Lacuna Coil gig on the night, staying over and then driving to London on Monday morning. Hopefully seeing friends on Monday night, Tuesday sightseeing and on Tuesday night we are going to see Les Mis, my all time fave show. More sightseeing on Weds then home. So I shall record what we get up to in this little book, and hopefully take lots of photos to play with when I get home.
