Mixed Up Saturday

Lilian

Good Morning Ladies,

I hope that you are all well and are enjoying your weekend, we had a fun start to our weekend yesterday, Paul finishes early on a Friday and we hadn't managed to fit in any 'fun' time with the girls, Lucy suggested we go to Kaspa's a pudding restaurant, now puddings aren't my thing but I wasn't going to spoil their fun, OMG, there were so many different things to choose from, I had a 'Waffle Crumble'  which was a huge waffle smothered in apple crumble pieces and then covered with Canadian Maple syrup!  Boy I struggled, the others didn't though, Lucy and Paul had 'Brownie Waffle' which was broken up chocolate Brownies on top a waffle, covered with warm melted chocolate, Paul ended up finishing Lucy's too, Sophie went for 'Strawberries and Cream Waffle' which was lots of sliced strawberries with a strawberry sauce and lots of whipped cream! 

Needless to say we were all full to bursting and didn't really want any dinner.  I would totally recommend it, if you like desserts, you will be in heaven.

I think I had a reaction to all the sugar though, I felt cold and shaky and incredibly tired after about 20 mins, something I have never experienced before, I don't usually have that much sugar though, I was OK, just felt odd.  Next time I will have a simple crepe though.

Now there is so much shopping to share this week I have kept some craft projects to show next week, I hope you don't mind too much, I have included a couple of lovely things to keep you going.....

Lilian sent me the photo above, I'm not sure you will believe me when I tell you that this is Lilian's first attempt at Applique'! Its absolutely amazing Lilian, its in my favourite colours too, I would dearly love to be able to create something like this.

Thank you so much for sharing your amazing cushion with all of us.

 Janet

Janet has shared her lovely 'altered' bottle with us this week, I love the shape of the bottle Janet, it reminds me of the days when I thought that I was sophisticated when we ordered 'Mateus Rose', restaurants used to use them as candle holders too!  Yours does look sophisticated Janet, you have used some beautiful Lace, doilies and Appliques.
Janet has treated us to the view from her little piece of paradise, Janet has never planted Primroses at Marigny, there were a few when they moved in years ago and since then they have multiplied, what a beautiful view Janet, I bet you can't wait to go back.
Thank you so much for both your inspirational bottle and for that stunning view.

Pat

Pat did a 'Make and Take' with Maria at the 'Lavinia Stamp' stand, this is the card that she made, so much detail, I love the image too.  I hope you enjoyed it Pat despite the 'Sting in the tail', I think that they should be upfront about charging to be honest, then YOU can decide whether to take part.

Thanks for sharing your card Pat.

Well ladies you all bought some lovely craft goodies, sadly our internet kept dropping out so I had to give up describing each individual shop.
I think pretty much most of you bought stamps this time and not so many dies, maybe the tide is turning a little bit.
Some of you got some fantastic bargains too.  I can't believe that Crafters Companion Magazine was on the £1 stand !!
I am excited to see all of the lovely projects you all create with the craft goodies you bought.

Ben at Set Craft has a new FB Group called In2crafts, he kindly shared yesterday's card on his page yesterday, you might want to go have a look at his new page ladies.

Thats all from me today, thank you to each and every one of you that took part in today's blog post.

I am looking forward to all of your Challenge cards tomorrow, TicTacToe challenges really show your creativity.

Have a lovely Saturday,

Love and hugs

Sandra
