Mothers Day & EBay

I'm a poet and I didn't know it.
Sunday was a lovely day spent with the people I love the most.
Firstly I visited my own Mum and spent a nice couple of hours giving her a pampering shampoo and set.
Once back home Joe arrived and after indulging in coffee and a special Miss Cakeaholic cupcake (Thank You Heather x) we proceeded to create my new EBay Shop.

I decided that it was about time I expanded by audience and see if there were any customers in the Internet world that were interested in buying my lovely wool.  The shop is small at the moment but I have just been granted permission to add further items so now I just have to work out exactly how to do that and then the sky's the limit.

I have Joe to thank for getting the EBay site up and running.  I asked him to do this as my Mothers Day present rather than buy me something that wouldn't last.  In years to come when my site is successful I will be able to look back and remember exactly what I was given on Mothers Day 2012.

 I don't think a bunch of flowers would have left such a lasting impression.

Hardwick Hall

Hello and welcome.  Thank you for dropping by.
Today has been smashing.  We got up quite early and then popped off to the Yorkshire Outlet to buy a Strimmer for the garden.
It's quite unusual to get my husband out shopping but once I've managed it and he's in the right mood, it can be a very enjoyable experience.  Today was no exception and we ended up buying him quite a few t-shirts ready for our forthcoming holiday.  I also bought a rather becoming flowery dress and a pair of pink sudo Converse sneakers.  I love the real thing but these were £4.45 from Trespass and I couldn't resist them.
When we had finished we came home briefly to have lunch and then went to Hardwick Hall in Derbyshire.  The weather was glorious and the place lent itself to some lovely photographs.

We're back home now and Steve has gone out for a bike ride to work off the scrumcious ice cream that we just had to sample on the way out.  I had the Mandarin and Ginger and Steve had the Blueberry.

Oh changing the subject but still on the subject of scrumcious things Heather now has her own blog called Miss Cakeaholic.  Go and have a look at her homemade cupcakes, they are gorgeous.

Well I'm off to finish painting my toenails.  Bye for now, Paula x

Miss Cakeaholic

Hello and welcome.
I can hear the gasps from here.  These little fancies taste every bit as good as they look.
My sons partner Heather (or my daughter-in-law as I like to call her) will shortly be launching her cupcake company, Miss Cakeaholic, and she very kindly provided a few samples for us to try.  These are the Coke and Amaretto ones which feature a little almond biscuit perched delicately on top.

The others which unfortunately did not last long enough to be photographed were Mint Choc Chip.  The pale green icing was jam packed with chocolate and were delicious. 
She has a blog which is in its early stages and an extremely clever logo which has been designed by Joe my son.
Well done Heather and Good Luck, not that you're going to need it.
Regards Paula x
