SUNDAY SNIPPETS

Hi Everyone

I hope you are having a lovely relaxing Sunday.

I feel I have spent far too much of mine in the kitchen :-(

The request for today was a home made steak and kidney pie with a puff pastry topping .. .. I seem to have been working on it nearly all day as the meat and shallots have been slow cooking in the oven .. .. and how long will it take to eat!?!  Minutes!!!  and then there is the clearing up again afterwards.

I don't mind putting the extra effort in on a Sunday because I do "wing it" a bit during the week .. .. but today feels a little above and beyond the call of duty LOL!!  

But the day started off much more exciting .. .. I played with my snippet ready for taking over and sharing in Pixies Crafty Snippet Challenge.  The playground is definitely getting busier with lots of lovely new playmates appearing.  

Here is my share for this week:




As always I am lazy on a Sunday and don't list my ingredients (because I am chained to the oven and kitchen sink LOL!!!) but just ask if there is anything you want to know about my creation.

Enjoy the rest of your day and I hope the week ahead holds some crafty time for you.

Love

    Hi Jules,

    Love this fabulous girlie card! I'd rather be doing what she's been doing than making steak and kidney pie, lol!

    Hi Jules, just stopping by while waiting for the chicken curry to cook. Couldn't help but chuckle at your tale of the length of time to make the steak and kidney pie...we've all been there with dishes that seem to take forever and a day to make and they're gone in minutes. I'm sure hubby appreciated the effort.

    Love the card. Looks like some Pink Petticoat has been used.

    Lovely that you're so busy with wedding commissions.

    Love & Hugs,

    Pauline xx

    Hi Jules.

    WOW! this card is fantastic. I love the way you have coloured the bag to co-ordinate with the background papers. You are very clever. BUT now you have made me want to spend my money on lovely PP images! Naughty!
    I have finally posted the runner bean chutney recipe - sorry for the delay!
    Hope you have a lovely week and no more tree climbing or I will squeal to your mum! LOL xx

    Gorgeous card, Jules! I so love this sassy image, with her flirty dress! and the sentiment - how true!! I know I've spent a bit too much (time wise of course!) in our local big chain multi-craft shop.

    oh one of my Dad's favourite pies, I'm sure it will be well worth the effort! who knows, perhaps once you do it a few times, it will become quicker! I know when I try something new it takes ages at first, but times after it gets easier/quicker!

    Good Luck xoxo
