Lil' Vintage Story Books

I saw thisover at Ingrid's blog and thought I might join in.

My book is A Letter To Amy by Ezra Jack Keats. I won this book in 1970 for a story book competition, I have no idea what I did though to win it.

Sorry it's been so long

Hi there poor neglected blog, not sure if anyone is still here but I'm sorry i've been gone, life just seems to be getting in the way. There is no crafting going on but I'm going away in a couple of weeks with some lovely crafty ladies so hopefully I will produce something.

I did come baking today - one success and one failure

I made these confetti cookies thanks to a pin from Ingrid on pinterest. They taste great - success.

A few weeks ago I bought some Christmas m&m's from Costco thinking I would make some of these as gifts. Yesterday I found out Jeff has been eating said m&m's. So I thought I would try the recipe out to make sure of worked before I bought some more.

Not sure what I did wrong but they definitely didn't look like any of the pictures, they were way too dry and didn't flatten at all - failure.

Pinterest

I've pinned lots of things on pinterest, including lots of recipes and I thought it was about time I started using some of them. I'm a bit of a breakfast skipper so I thought I might trythese breakfast bars from Nigella

Well they turned out pretty yummy. I replaced the nuts with some choc chips to make them a bit more kid friendly in our house, not too many but I didn't want nuts so the kids could take them to school.
