Lots going on.......

Well I have had the most massive surge of creativity and mojo in the last two weeks. Might have to do with my time off, but it is still following through after being back at work now for a couple of days! I practically filled an album while on holidays. Here's a few I can share! Firstly I did an online class with the amazing Maz who is raising money to go to Cambodia I believe, please correct me if I have got it wrong!, hey way as she has an amazing soul she is of to help people less fortunate than ourselves. It was a fabbo class, so much fun, and got me out of my normal cover then entire page  thing I do!! 

And then a selection of other pages I have done from a random smattering of sketches and what not!

Now there is heaps going on over at Scraptivate in the next few months, lots of cool classes to come to, we are all of the Scrap-it next Sunday at the Sheraton Hotel, and we are all eagerly awaiting the new Cuttlebug products that are coming.

Drop by the Scraptivate website and see what's going on in store at the moment. Hope to see some of you in store sometime, maybe at a class, maybe at a crop, or just to come and say hi!

Have a great day.

Have fun,

Mel

Domestic Bliss..........well almost........

So Lawley took this week off work to spend time with me.....OK i can hear the groans from here, but it's really very sweet.........and we have been having a few few really lovely lazy days together. We sleep late, watch a movie or two, have been doing tonnes of cooking...........yes I have been cooking!!!!, any of my friends knows this is almost a dead set miracle.........But I have really been having lots of fun! I have been craving food from my childhood of late, and If i could just find my Grandmothers macaroni and cheese recipe I would be happy to leave this earth right after I'd finished it. None the less, I have been making a few other things, Grandma's spiced apple cake, that I just can't get enough of (this week any way, I should have made two!), and today I have endeavored to make a good old fashioned casserole like my mum would make when I was little! It's in the oven as we speak so I will let you know how it went, but I have got a couple of pics of the cooking process, and a pic of how it is meant to turn out! Good luck to me I say. I also made a few Garlic breads, two for the freezer, and some to go with the casserole. Talk about domestic. I am almost a domestic goddess....nearly.  So what about the 'well almost" part of my title I hear you say......Lawley is such a good cook, he really doesn't need to follow recipes and stuff, but me I am to the letter, I follow every step, and if the recipe asked me to run around the kitchen I would! (definitely if it would make to food turn out exactly how it was meant to be!), so he was trying to help me a little bit, but got all the steps out of order and caused a slight stress attack on my behalf. Nothing to serious, but the recipe was asking for two tablespoons of flour, and he swears we had already done that when we seasoned the meat???? I didn't know where to go from there, how am I meant to just skip a step like that? the cooking police we so come and arrest me for that??? So after much confusion, I decided to just go with it! Fingers crossed it works. No wonder I don't cook, I almost need to have a bit of a nap after that little expedition.

Have fun,

cook to the letter,

Mel

So now I am off to make a roast beef sandwich and watch a movie in the lounge! Wish me luck guys, I have work really hard on my entries and I am so totally proud of the results. I promise as soon as I am able to post pics of my work for Masters I will, but it could be a short wait for that.

Have a happy Sunday,
