Mmmmm cake....

I had a lovely visit from Cathie and her two sweet little munchkins yesterday. They brought along a beautiful new sketchbook for me (perfect timing as my current one is almost finished), and these delicious cupcakes, and some very yummy banana bread.

This is the second time that I've had this banana bread, and it's truly the most delicious one I have ever tasted. Cathie has shared the recipe on her blog.

Another sweet little munchkin has been hard at work making me pressies to take home. Nikki's wee girl is starting school very soon, which means that I won't see her as often..... I'm going to miss her, but she has invited me over to her house for a playdate!

Please excuse the poor quality of my mobile phone photos

 Wonderful friends come to visit bearing yummy peanut butter cupcakes...

.... and the on-site oppy provides some vintage gems...

Now I just need to work on breaking out of here!

Mikes Week of Picnics - Day One

I'm joining in for Mikes Week of Picnics hosted by the McCranky's...

So to begin the week, one of my favourite picnic foods....cupcakes.
I'm going to fess up that these are the cheats version...vanilla cake packet mix with added choc chips (I'm trying to keep the house clean so I really didn't want to get all my baking ingredients out).

Head on over and say hi to Pip, and join in!
