Day 5 :) Success!

Well this afternoon finds me exhausted beyond all words! Today went off without a hitch! We had 15 people in attendance :) + Nathan and two other teenagers 3 people scoffed and refused to participate and said they didn't want to pay extra even though they'd have plenty of notice (seriously.. It was $2/head for morning tea and $2.40/card!) I cannot believe the creations these ladies came out with! I had two cards on the table showing how I had made them, then did a step by step demonstration of the card, and a brief talk on Stampin' Up!® and let them create away and have fun! I covered my costs which was great and had a great time. Please have a look below at the lovely cards the ladies made xoxo

Day 4 Part III

Yay slowly getting there!! All my stuff is packed in the car that I need. Hedgehog slice done apple sour cream slice done ham & spinach mini quiches done scones cooking! I am exhausted!

Day 4 Part II Spinach & Bacon Mini Quiches

Yummmm I love these.... This is the recipe from BestRecipes.com I always edit it to suit my needs. Today I didn't have any puff pastry so am trying them with shortcrust pastry. I also had a lot more ingredients today - so I added extra spinach, bacon, onion and added some cream to it too - just a dash to make it tasty :) Recipe Puff Pastry 4 rashes of bacon, diced 4 eggs 1 large onion, diced finally 3 large spinach leaves, shredded (I had a zillion leaves lol) 1 C grated cheese Salt & Pepper to taste (and I just realised I hadnt put that in, our bacon was from our local butcher in Tamworth - they smoke it on the premises and was salty enough) Preheat oven to 180 degrees. In a medium saucepan, add a little oil and sautee bacon and onion. Turn off the heat and add spinach and wilt it. Add all other ingredients and mix well. Cut small circles of pastry to fit the bottom of your muffin/cupcake tray, and place into the trays.- Add 2 T of mixture (more if you are using muffin trays). Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until firm & brown (or in my ovens sake half the day grr) ****************************** On another note: Hedgehog Slice - COMPLETED - IN FRIDGE Apple & Sour Cream Slice - COMPLETED - COOLING ON BENCH Quiche- COOKING

Day 4! Apple & Sour Cream Slice

Thanks to Best Recipes for this scrumptious recipe Apple & Sour Cream Slice 1 x 340gm Butter Cake Mix 125gm Butter, melted 1 x 300gm Sour Cream (can use light if desired) 1 C Coconut 2 eggs, beaten 1 x 440gm can Pie Apples Ground Cinnamon (to taste) Combine cake mix, coconut and melted butter and press into a greased 30 x 20 cm slice tin. Bake @ 180 degrees for 10-15 mins - until golden brown. Spread apple over cake base while still warm, then combine sour cream and eggs in a bowl, then pour over apples. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake for a further 15-20 mins. Stand for 15 mins until set. Keep in the fridge! ************************************* My base is in the oven at the moment. My oven is evil and its taking longer than it should GRRRR

Day 3!

Up early :-) (Anyone who knows me knows that even though I have a nearly 2.5 year old i am still NOT A MORNING PERSON!!!) Feeling quite good actually. Both boys still sleeping (although Troy did wake up to the alarm as I set his as I wasn't sure if my phone would auto change time) Off to Tamworth shortly to church, then stocking up on baking supplies for tomorrows bakefest! Menu for Tuesday: Scones w/ Jam & Cream Mini Bacon, Spinach (Home grown) and Cheese Quiche Hedgehog Slice Apple & Sour Cream Slice Some other cupcakes :) Catch you on the flip side!

Day 2!

Just a smaller post today - if I have time I may come back later on with a second! Well the weekend is finally here! The weather has left much to be desired! Why couldn't it be super sunny and warm for the longweekend rather than overcast/cold/wet???!!??? Nate's got cabin fever and its only 11:15am! One last night of boring normal time and we are onto Daylight Savings @ 3am tomorrow morning!! YAYAY!!! 27 Sleeps til we go on holidays for 12 days ! Just going to Troy's parent's place at Gosford - really looking forward to it actually. We go down the day between our 3rd wedding anniversay & Troy's 43rd birthday! We have only been down twice in 12 months (joys of being broke!) - once for 5 days and then again quickly in Feb for a weekend! We'll be back down there again on the 23rd of Decemnber for Christmas! I really am looking forward to it! Better go (as Captain Mack says)...My Monkey needs me hahah xoxo

Day 1 ! Blogging for Octoberfest 2010!

Day 1 - Fri 01 October 2010 Here's hoping that with me participating in Blogtoberfest this year will help motivate me to blog more frequently! Today is usually Troy's RDO for the fortnight - so consequently it's usually the day that we'd head to Tamworth to grab some groceries - but today he is working to add some hours in his 'time-in-lieu' slot to make up from where he had almost two weeks off when I hurt my back in February and when we all got hit by the flu in July. So today will just be a lazy day here - I mostly need to get stuff ready for Tuesday. On Tuesday I am running Home League @ Tamworth Salvation Army and we are having a coffee, craft and cardmaking morning. It will be the first time as a Stampin' Up!® Demonstrator that I will be showing off the products and I hope I get a good response. We are making some Christmas cards, and having a really lovely morning tea spread. *************************************************************************** I have decided to edit a lot of my personal posts and remove them from my business page and post them elsewhere.
