We’re shortly off on holiday to the lovely Croyde Bay in Devon and it’s a fair drive from where we live so I decided that I needed a secret weapon to keep Amy busy (and hopefully avoid 200 "are we there yet"s). Unfortunately I’m not very gifted in the sewing department although luckily for me I know a lady who is; the lovely Raspberry makes wonderful things and has recently launched her etsy shop. So now Amy has a beautiful and perfect little holiday bag which I’m going to fill with sweeties, colouring pens, a notebook, a comic and a few little games – hopefully to keep her occupied for more than 10 minutes!

I’ll be out of touch for a while so here’s wishing you all a great time whatever you’re doing and hoping that the weather improves!

I am a lucky, lucky girl today. Because I got this in the post

It’s one of the very first brand new moo sticker books (thanks so much to the lovely Denise for giving me a sneak preview). Like moo cards they are small and perfectly formed and oh-so-hard to give away. They come in packs of 15 sheets with 90 stickers in all. Here’s some of mine…

Moo have launched them today, so to make your very own moo stickerbooks from your own photos go take a look –  have fun!

I’ve spent this morning at Amy’s sport’s day. There were a couple of torrential downpours that had everyone running for the cover of the trees but luckily the weather was mostly dry and good enough for the kids to have fun and for us all to enjoy a family picnic afterwards (I hid when it was time for the mum’s race and so was spared the indignity of coming last!!).

I wasn’t quite so lucky on the walk home and got absolutely soaked but once I got through the door I was cheered up as I  found this waiting for me! Off now to make a cup of tea and immerse myself in fudgey loveliness – Thanks to Simmy for the wonderful home-made treat!
