Friday smile

This is what made me smile this week!
It must be a first for me...
I opened these tiny Christmas cookies - a gift from a friend made by the The Queen of Hearts Cookie Company - they looked so beautifully made, that I decided I couldn't eat any until I had shown everyone how pretty they were.

 Also, Santa brought Maxine some tiny cookie cutters like these so that she can make cookies with Ben when he is big enough. So Max - this is what he will expect them to look like!!!

These hyacinths were only just popping out of the soil during the week before Christmas and now look at them - totally gorgeous and they smell wonderful. I know Annie can't have them in the house because of the perfume but at least she can enjoy them on my blog!
Now, if you want more Friday Smiles - just pop over to Annie's blog - "A stitch in time" - it is her 100th smile post this week.
Have a lovely weekend

Latest challenge!

The daffodils are out and the poppies will follow!!!

Today I have mostly been dumfing.

I had a request for more poppy cards to go in the blog shop so I have been dumfing away all day creating 2 new sets.

Above the half finished poppies, you can see the little daffodils that are nearly ready for my Easter cards. I like to send cards to my friends up in the North - and they love our crafty stuff.

There you go - its been drab and gloomy outside but my house is full of Spring!

M. bought me a pot of hyacinths for Mothers Day and they are in full bloom and the scent is wonderful. ( Wipso - wear your gas mask if you drop in !)

Will blog a pic tomorrow - pity we don't have smelly vision.

PS Poppy cards now in the shop so pop over to Sisters Crafty Creations for a look.

While you're there you might like to leave an idea or two on our wedding challenge page.

Thanks for calling!
