My $11 Cake Plate

Yep $11... Isn't it cute? I made it .... so easy I'll show you how.

You only need 3 things - A Candle stick (mines from IKEA), a pretty plate and some hot glue.

Just glue one to the other and wollah....

A Handmade Cake Plate

Getting my craft on...

My poor neglected blog .... Oh how I miss you. Most times I sit down to write post  a little cry comes from the baby's room. Catnapping and blogs don't really mix I'm afraid.
However, Friday mornings is my little break from the monster preschooler so the house seems calmer and bubs can usually get a bigger nap. Today I indulged in a little crafting....  how cute is this?

I have a few to make but this was my first attempt.  I'm sure it will look so much better sitting on the cake I am yet to make. It's about to be birthday season around here and you know how much I love birthday craft. Hopefully I will be able to get some decent posts this year.

 For the ultimate in cuteness cake bunting you must head over to Twirling Betty's Made it store or if your willing to give it a go she has made a tutorial here in her fantastic blog !!

Happy weekend everyone!

My creative space...

There hasn't been enough time it seems lately to get super crafty but here's a little snap of some yummy Christmas goodies I have been working on. I saw the recipe on one of my favourite tutorial blogs One pretty thing and couldn't resist giving the worlds easiest dessert gift a try. The only problem was I had to quickly wrap it up before the hubby tried to "inhale" it all..
