Campfire Pav

Yes, I know it has been some time, but crafting had to take a back seat for a while I indulged in my other passion Girl Guiding. Last weekend we went to camp. We set ourselves a challenge and did a lot of the cooking on fires. A group of leaders had done our advanced outdoor cooking module earlier in the year and Tricia decided that we would successfully cook a pavlova in the fire. And we succeeded. It was more crunchy that fluffy but than is how I like it and the arms of us all were a bit tired as no electricity to use the electric beater hence less fluff.

Our dinner menu was, Apricot Chicken done in the camp oven, baked potatoes in the embers, rice cooked in a haybox, mince chowmein cooked over the fire, dessert was pavola, apple crumble cooked over the fire, selfsaucing chocolate pudding steamed in an oven bag - all of us were so stuffed after it was soooo yummy.

Sesame Street Turns 40

Yes, I am now starting to show my age when I heard that Seasame Street, turned 40 this week, especially when trying to explain to the children that, that was all kids TV was when I was there age.

How timely when I had made these lollipops a few weeks ago. I found the instructions somewhere on the net. I went back today to find the wonderful creative person who worked all this out and went round and round in circles and couldn't find who, so I apologise profusely for not giving full credit where credit is due. Who knew you could do so much with a couple of punches.

The Bag Lady - That's Me

I beleive I am starting a new fetish and that is bags. Here are a few that I have made lately. Three are made using the lovely Parisian Breeze designer series paper that is card stock weight. It is adorable and unfortunately is only available in the spring mini catalogue so your opportunity to purchase will be up soon, so get in quick. I have used the Flower Fusion Too felt flowers to add that extra zing. The other bag is made with Pretty in Pink 12x12 card and decorated with Raspberry Tart DSP.

My new Stampin' Up! website

Hi Everyone,

This is where my limits with technology are being tested. I now have a Stampin' Up! website, (I'd like to be able to show you the welcome page, but I don't know how to take a snapshot of it) where you can view all the current special/promotions without having to wait for me to send something out to you. You can view the current catalogues, projects, my calander and much, much more. I am looking forward to learning how to use it.

It is another great tool to enable me to keep in touch with you. I will apologise in advance for any glitches that may occur. I will be able to do all my newsletters from this site, if you receive one, you will need to enable your inbox to open the images from me as otherwise it will just look like an empty email from me.

Drop by and have a look http://carolynloveday.stampinup.net
