Anyway, my nearest attempt at scrapbooking this week is making this little chocolate bar holder for my friend Yvette. Another lovely friend of mine, Fiona, gave me a template to make this holder as well as copies of the little owls. So I made this for Yvette and put her favourite chocolate in there - Wholenut Dairy Milk, as well as a Waterstones voucher for books. I am really pleased with my first attempt at this holder.
On Tuesday, Yvette and I went out to lunch to celebrate her birthday. We went to my favourite cafe down by the beach, where I often go for breakfast. I had my favourite, smoke salmon sandwiches -yum, yum. We followed lunch with a very delicious and very fattening Raspberry Cheesecake, which we shared. I don't even want to think how many calories were in it.
Talking about my lovely friends, I am now going to really big up my friend Anne, who is officially famous now. If you are a scrapper, you may subscribe to Scrapbook Inspirations, one of the very few magazines available. Well my friend Anne features in the July edition.
Her wonderful blog called Pretty, which you can find here, is featured in the Blog Love section. The magazine love her blog and so do I. Do go over and have a look for yourself.
that's is cool :D
ReplyDeleteI really should get my scrapping buddy on blogger so she could share some stuff too
