A Week of Birthdays and Creativity

Last week our family celebrated two birthdays, one being my step-son, the other being mine...our birthdays are one day after another! There seemed to be cake everywhere...but you can never have too much cake... (although, my waistline seems to tell me otherwise).
I was lucky enough to have a wonderful tasting chicken dinner (my girlfriend's recipe) cooked by my man and he also baked me a wonderful chocolate cake! I was very spoilt.
My step son requested a choc-mint cake and his requested dinner is Shepherds-Pie, cooked by his dad, my man, who IS such a wonderful cook. It's nice to have a night off here and there from cooking. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful person to share my life with.
The chicken dinner may not look too appetising, however, once you taste it you are in Food Heaven.

It's also been a week of creativity.  Creativity runs in our family, all our boys love giving their imaginations a good work out and create, create, create. My grandmother was very creative.  I share this passion with my aunt too, we are often sending pictures of our latest creations to each other! It's wonderful to be able to share this passion with her and now with you!

I have been requested by a lady at my man's workplace to create cards of all types for her, so I have been busy putting my stock to good use. I think I may be a closet 'craft hoarder'....



Sometimes I find when I don't over think a creation, it seems to work with so much ease.

Thank you for stopping by.
