Mint Chocolate Chip Birthday

Yesterday I had a jolly lovely cuppa and cake in Nottingham with the lovely Carol who was visiting from Wiltshire. Whilst it is a very long way to come for a cup of tea, I had such a nice natter that the whole day was over before I even knew it. Looking forward to the next one! Maybe maternity leave is all about coffee mornings and catch ups. I guess I’d better get my skates on and have a few more as I’m going to be back at work in a few weeks. Booooo (and yay at the same time, I know I’m a bit sad, but I do like going to work (most of the time!))

Today is my sister’s birthday – yippee!!! I don’t get to see my sister too often as she’s living in London and is often all over the place with her job as an Opera singer and visiting London with two little kids isn’t that easy.

Today I thought I’d join in with the challenge over at Less is More. The Less is More challenge was always one of my favourites and I used to join in most weeks. Here’s to hoping that if I can continue in the swing of blogging, I’ll be able to join in lots and lots and lots :-D

The theme for this week’s challenge is Mint and chocolate chip. So I've used some Crumb Cake ink and Early Espresso for the Chocolate Chip and Pistachio Pudding and Garden Green for the mint.

I do remember the summer where mint chocolate chip ice cream was my favourite and then by the end of the summer I decided that a really good vanilla is the best flavour, and some 20 years later I still think that. What’s your favourite flavour ice cream?

I hope you enjoy today’s card.

Happy Crafting

Woyww - time for the next chapter

After years of hardly any blogging, you've got two posts in one day!!

Well it's been a while since I took part in woyww. This little room has been the home of my Stampin' Up! Business and crafty escape for the last 2 years, but the time has come for me to sort out and pack up as the not so little Isaac has pretty much outgrown his moses basket so I'm being evicted from the little bedroom into the dining room.

Here's my current room and desk before the sorting and decluttering exercise begins. Check pack later in the week for progress and I will have to sell of some crafty stash too, so there will be some bargains for all of you lovely peeps here in blog land.

Here's to the next chapter and hopefully a new house/extension so I can have my child free zone back :-D

Don't forget to scroll down for my competition post!
