I finished my painting today...it makes me happy. I hope you like her too...
Remember I told you I was baking a pear and almond cake yesterday? Well, I just had to share with you, because it was super easy, and so delicious...I imagine it would be equally as lovely with apples or other fruits...
here is the recipe. Oh, I didn't have any flaked almonds and I can only guess that such an addition would take this to the next level!
I shared a slice this afternoon with a dear friend who came bearing gifts of the most wonderful kind...Helen, you rock! My head is spinning with the possibilites...gotta love girlfriends...
And, I almost forgot to tell you of the lovely suprise I received recently when I went to my letterbox and discovered a lovely gift, sent all the way from across the ocean...thankyou dearest
Wendy - you made my day. If you haven't already, go and visit her wonderland...it is a magical place indeed.
and the other side...
