Valentine's Love

I hope you all had wonderful a Valentine's Day - I sure did!

My swap package from Teena arrived on Friday but I was good and waited for Valentine's Day to arrive before I open it


Look at all these goodies

THANK YOU TEENA!

You can see what I sent Teena here

And if that wasn't enough I received my giveaway win from Sherry!

THANK YOU SHERRY

I spent the evening with friends watching movies and eating strawberries and ice cream

Tomorrow I'm off to Cambridge to be measured for my bridesmaid dress so I get a lie in!!

Happy Valentine's Day

May you all have a wonderful day with your loved ones

A Lovely Day

I have had a lovely day lunching and shopping in town with my friend today

Enjoying cake

As you can see we couldn't decide which to have so we ordered one of each and split them!

I got lucky in a charity shop and picked up these 4 bowls

(sorry the photo isn't very good!)

I've got hundreds of plates but always struggle to find bowls so these were a good find

The latest issue of Martha Stewart Living magazine - I just love this magazine

Can you see the cute mug.... £1 from Tesco - bargain!!!!

We visited the local library and I stocked up on MORE books for the train and even one on photoshop to see if I can teach myself a bit more about it

I hope you all had a lovely Saturday too

Did I want this more

only because it's pink?

How many times have your brought something you already have or don't need because it was in a pretty colour?

Not So Much Walked

But slipped, skidded and skated to the station this morning

I cannot tell you how icy the pavements were this morning but I made it into work and was oh so grateful for my snow day yesterday I shouldn't complain to much (esp when mum greeted me with bangers and mash this evening when I got home)

Do you want to see what I got up to on my Snow Day?

I needed to "pretty" these smaller sized recipes from magazine clippings and remembered some index cards hiding in the draw. Scissors, glue and some colourful papers and this is what I came up with

I'm quite pleased with them and speaking of recipes; I can't believe I have the cheek to still buy cookbooks after sorting through and filing this pile of recipe clippings from magazines yesterday

Hmmm so maybe I shouldn't mention the book I brought on Saturday?

What can I say?

It's an addiction and it had to be with it's pals Cakes and Cookies Galore that live with me!

I haven't shared with you that I went to see Sound of Music last Thursday

What a great show and should you have an opportunity do get tickets. My mum and I were singing to ourselves all the way home (accompanied by a singing goat we brought at the gift shop!)

I hope you're all keeping warm

Snow Day

This is the view from my bedroom window this morning

Trains have been cancelled so I am lucky enough to not have to leave the house today

I'm tucked up in bed with my laptop and The West Wing - how are you spending your snow day?

Laying dormant

I'm sure I must be the last person to have got round to watching

but if I'm not and you haven't seen it I highly recommend you rent or buy a copy

It is a perfect Sunday afternoon film and was so gripped and confess it even made my put down my laptop and stop blogging!
