Happy Mothers Day i know it's early.

To my mummy wishing you a very happy mothers day on Sunday, it's a little early because we're visiting family in Cheltenham and i didn't want to miss doing you a special blog. Sorry the photo's so old, nearly a year old in fact. April last year for your 60th was the last time i had a mum cuddle.

Sending you a very big hug across the sea and into your arms in Ireland.

Look at my mum wasn't she beautiful, i want to look this look on my wedding day. I think she looked amazing and still does. To me you are just mum and never get any older and your love it just grows stronger each day.

Inside this very special box tied with string and handmade tag with little old me on it was something, I'd baked for her ad had everything crossed that Mr Postman got it to her in one piece.

And he did. 6 yummy lavender and lemon lilac iced cupcakes. I know she's nearly eaten them all because i said open them as soon as they arrive, so i know they're safe and sound and she's let dad have only one bite lol well they are a mummies day present hehe!

Love you Mum hope to see you very soon.

And to all of you other mum's have a wonderful day.

Hugs,

The Easter Bunnies On His Way...

Eggtasic at Mollycupcakes...

It's nearly that time again when tiny chicks are hatching, baby bunnies are hopping and the Easter bunny is looking for those eggs again. And what nicer place to hide them but in one of my dotty or new chick eggcups.
And every one bought from now until the 6th of April will come filled with mini eggs. Hop on over to Mollycupcakes and pick up a Easter treat or 2.

I'll also be adding the new eggcup ( see first photo), heart tags and pack of pegs with chick and egg design sometime this week.
Mothers Day pegs still available. Last postage date for these 20th March.

Enjoy the sunshine everyone and to those of you that bought packs of my Red Nose day pegs, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. x

Red Noses All Round lol

Wow well done to everyone that dug into their pockets, wallets and purses you help raise an amazing record breaking £59,187,065. Now that's going to change some life's, weather it's here or Africa. It shows that we can make a difference.

Because of this i will be leaving the date open for the white and dotty red pegs until the end of April and for every pack sold, I'll donate £1.10 to comic relief. Because my passion is for getting all those families covered and safe from Mozzies with the nets, we can't wipe out Malaria, not yet! but we can stop it from killing so many.

In the cupcake house we enjoyed watching the fun and joined in. It was good to see the lighter side and find out first hand how Red Nose Day really does help. Thank you for all your lovely kind messages of support and to those of you that have picked up a pack of red dotty pegs.

We did something funny for money x x x

On to Saturday, Jade and i went off to the Country Living fair in London, no photos Mr Ben took it with him because he had much nicer photos to take than us lol

Just look at these cuties awww it was lambing weekend at the Hadlow farming collage and the cupcakes loved it. Cute fluffy lambs, chicks, goats and even bunnies. SO many awww's i could run out of w's lol

My fabulous little Granny was also there helping out on a RSPCA stall run by my uncle. She is nearly 100% now after her spell in hospital and nurses at home treatment. The abscess is nearly gone and she'll be fighting fit for Daisy's Easter birthday party at the the end of this month yeay!

She truly thanks you all for the lovely kind comments you left for her to read. That, the wonderful nurses, us and the rest of the family have got her through everyday and back to her bouncy 88 year old self. Love you Granny x

More fun on the farm but this time on the pay as you ride sort of animal lol Daisy looks so sweet on that deer, it reminds me of the ones we used to have on top of our Christmas cake.

And Molly's horse is smiling nearly as much as she is lol

Well Daddy for giving the cupcakes a fabulous day out, it's one they will remember forever.

Jade and i had a lovely time in London, not getting back so late this time and with money still in our purses.

A few little bits where bought but nothing to break the bank lol sigh! from Ben in the back ground lol

I'll share with you sometime in the week our little Easter treats from the show. I don't think it was as good this year. But i did get to see and smell the wonderful David Austin roses, I'd like as our wedding flowers, wow
I hope you all had a nice weekend and the sun shone for you.

Also has everyone got in contact with their heart swap partners? any problems just email me and I'll see if i can help. Happy swapping.

Lets all make a differance

For every pack of white and red dotty pegs i sell on the 13th to the 15th March, I'll donate £1 of the money to Comic Relief.
They do look a little like red noses don't they and have a number of fab uses, children's pictures, cards, washing, shopping lists and notes etc... it's such a wonderful course and we can all make a difference, especially helping with the mozzy nets, such a small thing can change the life's of so many.
Thank you for listening, now come on go buy a pack x x x

A extra big thank you to all you wonderful ladies that are taking part in my heart swap, click here for your pairs, if you haven't already. Good luck with all the crafting and making, I'm looking forward to seeing what lovely things get sent.

Have a fab weekend, I'm of to the Country Living Fair in London with Jade on Saturday, can't wait. It's a real fun day, just the 2 of us.

Hugs,

Ready, Steady, Swap!!!

Last week found me busy with new Easter ideas and i came up with this little cutie the egg & the chick. They'll be on Mollycupcakes next week, so if you're after a different Easter gift, come on in and have a look. And with every Easter item bought, I'll receive a free mini pack of chocolate eggs.

I've also made some packs of Mothers Day pegs because all mum's are special and deserve a treat. They are available now, so pick up a pack for an extra special gift that she can keep forever and that's handmade with lots of love x

There was some lovely news on the wedding front, we can have a blessing any time we want in that beautiful church but as we're not in the parish area, they can't do a real wedding for us. We'd have to go there twice a month for 6 months for them to do that and we both didn't want to look like we were just using them for our own needs. A blessing in such a beautiful place might be nice, but we'll have to wait and see. We have seen another wonderful old building that is an old church but not a real church lol see the link, they do do weddings. Booked up this year though and is lots of pennies :( I'll pop some photos on this week.

Hope you've all had and are having a lovely weekend.

Hugs,

More tea vicar?

Well this Saturday just gone found the cupcake family here at the beautiful church in Luddlesdown Nr. Cobham Kent. And what a lovely day it was, i think Spring had her hat, for sure.

The birds where singing, sky was blue, flowers out and...

...Molly and Daisy where up to mischief lol yes that's a hand full of snowdrops, Daisy took a shine to them hehe! and who can blame her! they're so pretty.

Knock, knock vicar, can my Mummy and Daddy marry here please? well we're just have to wait and see. But i think i know the answer already. But hey you never know!

This was the view that greeted us after climbing the huge hill on the farmers field. And wow what a view!

That hill doesn't look that bad from here lol but hang on didn't i carry Daisy up most of it? oh yes that's why i was huffing and puffing. Just like Mr Wolf.

And after all that lovely fresh air and exercise, there is just time for cuddles and a little rest. Awww it's fab when they get on. Although I'm sure Molly's leaning a little on Daisy lol because check out her face.

A quick trip into the cute village of West Malling for a noisy around the junk shops and then back home for some "Lets get Daddy time"

Sunday was how all Sunday's should be lots of lazying around in our Pj's, snuggles in bed, coffee and tea's on tap, a home cooked meal (thanks Ben x), some reading of pretty magazines, messing about with the girls and lastly a very fast trip to Blue water for new shoes and measuring jug. Odd things to put together but hey I broke the other one and Daisy's feet have grown lol

Hope you all had a nice time.

I've been meaning to put a photo of Jade's birthday cake on here and just been really crap at doing it. Well here it is, Molly's so keen to eat it, she's trying to get at it through the cake doom lol

Singing happy birthday and lighting 14 candles and blowing them out for 14 wishes x x x x x x x x x x x x x x

Tar-DA! one lemon ice-drizzle paisley designed birthday cake. And whoosh it's all gone now lol

Don't forget to click on the cupcake to the right of the blog for the heart swap, there is still 5 days left to join in.

Enjoy the rest of the week.

Hugs,
