Sketch book

This is the latest page of my sketch book!

Our cooking book!

 I've been hearing rumours that we're going on A Big Trip next for Andrea's birthday and she asked me to make her a Cooking Book.  So I decorated a piece of watercolour paper with watercolour paint and plastic-wrap on the top to get a funky cover (above) and then painted some Indian Khadi paper for the inside pages.

I added the title later!

 I've been collecting recipes and so far, have six of them written in.  Now, the fun part about this cooking book is that the pages are different sizes and colours!!!!!

I added to the cover of the book!

And I used washi tape, stickers and an empty tea bag wrapper to store some shop receipts!!!

So far, I'm about half way through the book....!!!

This is fun...!

New DVD shelving!!

It was going to be a fabric shelving unit but that didn't work so I used pine shelves and bits of string instead!! Ta-dah!

Presents!!

  We start with The Dud Present. Two pairs of socks fro Andrea's sister in law, Voldemort. Good huh? Imaginative.

  And a jazz CD. Andrea hates jazz. Always has. Him, charity shop will do well,then!!

  My cracker presents were brilliant though!! A Beanie sized tea strainer and a Beanie sizes cheese grater!!!

 A new DVD!

 Chocolates!!! Yippee!

A sketch pad

 A blank book.

 I got a all the paper too!!

 Best of all we got a brand new saute pan specially for poaching salmon!! Guess what's for dinner tonight!!

Christmas Day!!

 We got. up at about eight.   Looks  a bit bit murky outside 

We opened Andrea's prezzie.

Oh wow!!

It's a sketchbook with lots of different papers in it!

Now for mine!!

Measuring spoons!! Perfect!

What do you call a dog with a bunch of daisies on its head?

A collie flower!!! Hahahaaa!

After breakfast of hot croissants, we went for a walk!

There's some rainclouds coming...!

We got as far as the reindeer's bum and the it started raining so Andrea put me away and rushed off to her parents house for lunch!  After tons of food and prezzies, we came home and saw these clouds coming!

Just as we got home, we saw more clouds coming!!
