Creativity and Cupcakes....



A few weeks ago I bought a few books during a charity shop rummage,one of which was....




 Which I have now finished and SO enjoyed....
 


The only trouble is that reading about them makes me want to eat one....

Mmmm....

But I have managed to avoid making a batch in my own kitchen by keeping busy...

I have been over at the Studio quite a lot catching up on things,one being a mirror that is in need of some tlc....


 The gold may look nice but it is quite garish and tatty,so on with some of the Annie Sloan wonder paint, the first coat is now done.. I will show you it when it is finished....



 Then, I have a few Birthdays coming up,so wrapped this picture ready to give....



Then Birthday number two, I got some mint imperials (their favourite) and put them in a jar all prettied up!

Now do I make those Cupcakes?.....

Warm Wishes,

Callie

yes ! make the cakes!! thanks for your comment and yes we are Bespoke country and it would save a lot of confusion if I renamed my blog but I think blogs that drone on about work trying to sell things are not in the true spirit of blogging, have a great day, jennyx
