Our attempts at making cookies

Our youngest daughter Katie (10) loves baking, so today while Danni had a few friends round to play on the Wii, hubby, myself and Katie decided to make some mince pies.....well the lard was 2 years out of date oops lol.....so that idea went out the window, I remembered I bought some packet mixes a while ago when they were on offer....so Katie decided to have a go at making them....and here is a pic of the results....excuse the rude bill or ben whichever it is, Katie decided he needed coloured balls :0) .....take care

OHHHHHHHHHHHHH panick stations last night... lol

I was making a Bon Voyage card for my friend and hubby was quite happily playing on Guitar Hero (so much fun....can't wait to see Louise Emma my bud n her hubby on it at christmas) when there was a knock at the door, well I answered it and the man was doing a pay monthly thingy for British Red Cross...well its a charity really close to my hubbys heart so he decided to sign up.....So the man came in so they could fill out all the forms. I just got on with making the card and he started asking questions about the card I was making, (he decided he loved it :0) which made me blush lol)

Well after Nige had signed all the paper work and sorted things out, the man asked if I had any Christmas cards he could buy............arggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh well no was the answer, I decided this year not to make to many, so all the cards i make go in my boxes or are for orders....Nige then reminded me of 5 cards that where for an order to be delivered tomorrow .......so decided oh well can't hurt...he bought 3 cards and paid me £10 which i think is really good....only problem was customer had already seen the cards, so have spent all day making cards as close to the origianals as possible..................hope you like them.....take care
