For the sweet tooth

I do not have one but know quite a few people who have sweet tooth.So what have I been doing today?I made a healthy sweet for my kids.It is a recipe handed down by my MIL.Its a sweet made with poppy seeds and almonds.then I baked a batch of chocolate cupcakes for a very pregnant lady.Very pregnant because she is due anytime and was craving for cupcakes.
I thought this basket looked like a bassinet so picked it up to pack her cupcakes.
Hope you like it.She did ;and thank God for that.A morning well spent.
And because my photography skills are medieval...you poor souls are subjected to this pic heavy post.my sincere apologies for that.

First batch of invitation cards

Finally I have become SMARTER and made a batch of invitations for my wedding anniversary.
But the hitch is that I tried but could not click all of them impressively so you will have to bear with me and watch all four of them.
That makes this post a picture heavy one.

Individual cards
Forgot to click the insides.They are all embossed with paisley pattern and are same.

Finally Invitation card #8

Phew! I have finally managed to finish all the invitation cards...and they have been distributed too.We went to buy clothes for the big day for the BIG GIRL and though there are only two shops here for kids....so I thought how much time can it take...but it did because the first shop had nothing for Trisha and in the second shop the shop keeper wasn't too keen on showing us anything.I am reminded everyday of what a horrid place I am living in with hardly any choice.So coming back to the story we did manage to buy stuff for Both the girls...yeah the younger one always wants whatever her older sister buys.
The next target is to wrap the party favours plus finish a few DT projects . Highly ambitious plans but will try and complete them.
Also a treasure hunt is planned for the birthday girl....which is a part of her birthday celebration every year..She is an avid reader and I have ordered some books through flipkart for her.
Okay I am as excited as her that's why I am rambling so much.So Coming back to the point her is my card and it is inspired by the sketch at Random Acts of Creativity.

Invitation card #2

Okay(I know ....This is not the best way to start a post )have managed to get myself neck deep in work again and Boy Do I enjoy that? Heck I do...I really do.
So I have a birthday coming up like I have said, and will keep saying since my precocious kid keeps reminding me every waking minute .And Like every year I have to plan a SURPRISE treasure hunt...cept there is no Surprise element because we do this every year and she demands it every year...But then she insists on calling it a surprise treasure hunt ....so be it.
I have a few DT projects lined up and have started conducting Phonics classes for kids at the school.
So after this mundane rambling lets get back to the point( DH will be very happy to see that I got to the point at least with you and without beating around the bush much)which is; to share this second invitation card I made for Trisha.
I haven't been able to play along with ICR for quite sometime and I am glad that this time is an exception.
So this is an exclusive entry for ICR where the current challenge is to use dots and stripes and a tag .
I have managed to include all three elements.
The card.Just to give you and Idea of how the Tag looks.

The image is from The Greeting farm and has been coloured with the water soluble powder colours.the sentiment is a stamp from Tejal.This is a Peek a boo card where the Daisy circle die cut serves as a pocket and the tag just slips inside.
