    Whole new avenues of shopping opportunities, freespirit, and why not?

    I think we all have the tendency to indulge our grandchildren, maybe in a way we were unable to do with our own children. I know that's the case with me.

    Enjoy!

    hope its ok to do this

    the bud capcakes were for her dad for fathers day and the arty one was for her fellas bros birthday, shes working on a wedding cake at the mo.
    shes hasnt had the page set up for long so it hasnt got many likes, but she had people asking to see her cakes so she thought shed give them a page of their own

    Thank you hismissus and whitesatin - I personalised the crackers last year but this has given me something else to consider instead!
    hismissus love the fact your dad waited until later to own up, what a lovely thing though :)

    MrsM The cakes look yummy! :)
    A good life is when you assume nothing, do more, need less, smile often, dream big, laugh a lot, and realise how blessed you are.

    Hello- I'm back- been MIA for a while but have( sort of kept) an eye on what you have been up to! Busy ladies!
    Freespirit- massive congrats on being a nan, and glad you are keeping up with your challenges.
    Feisty-sorry to hear things aren't so good again, I admire your positivity. You and Junior are such wonderful positive selfless people it puts me to shame.
    OMO- goodness- how can you have anything left in your home to sell? Those lead hooks are a brilliant idea- talented lady!
    Mrs Moneypenny- your DD's cakes are lovely- I can see why you are so proud of her.


    Cant remember everything so just concentrated on last page or so. Its hard to remember that life goes on in the outside world at such a fast pace- you lot are no exception!
    I hope Nanamia is on the road to recovery soon, a visit from the BD can be a lonely time.
    Take care
    xx
    lovin' this site!
