Crafty cards and amazing muffins.

We took things pretty easy today after dashing about yesterday. LV and I made a few cards to send to friends, she's chief sticker. She's getting really good at keeping the glue on the thing she's trying to stick ...less mess, excellent.

I have come to the conclusion that you can be rubbish at drawing and not very good at cutting shapes out, but so long as you use coloured card the result will be semi-attractive! (e.g freaky stars and lopsided bunny head, oh and the snail with an eye on its neck).

Then we baked my favourite: Blueberry & Almond Muffins.

Amazing.

This is how we got there...

Ran out of muffin cases.

11 went in, 10 came out...Magic! Not really, one got really burnt and I felt embarrassed by it so I chucked it before taking the pic.
