When Mum and I went to have tea in Lingfield this week, I saw this little bowl in the shop and immediately thought of it filled with M&Ms, Jelly Babies or Skittles :o). Today it's filled with Peanut M&Ms.

Last day of April
I realise I've been neglecting my blog a bit the last couple of days. Sometimes life takes over and that's the way it goes - it's been one of those times for me :)
I've been enjoying being outside in the warmer weather (though it's now changing and becoming cooler again), meeting up with friends for coffee and just doing everyday things.
After visiting a friend this morning, I popped into the butchers on the way home to get some meat for Jon's pepper stew (way too hot for any of the rest of us to eat it!) and picked up a sausage and onion puff for my lunch. I made a salad to have with it and it was delicious! It's also made me realise, ready prepared salad greens that you just take out of the bag are so much easier and quicker ;o) - just added some cherry tomatoes, red pepper, feta, spring onion and avocado -with a drizzle of ranch dressing over the top - yum!!

It's bank holiday weekend this weekend and Jon's looking forward to three days off (though he's been working from home today which saved him another journey). We don't have set plans, had been hoping for a braai but maybe not :o( - we also need to do some tidying in preparation for our next guests arriving next weekend. Busy, busy!! Have a great weekend

An outing
I decided last night that I was going to take a trip to The Craft Barn in Lingfield today. I called Mum to see if she wanted a trip out - I knew she'd say yes ;o) - and arranged to pick her up in the morning. We're lucky because The Craft Barn is only 10 - 15 minutes from us but not so lucky in that they don't always have the things we would like. I really wanted to get some more white textured Bazzil cardstock but was out of luck. I did, however, pick up the Martha Stewart butterfly punch that I've been wanting for a while - now I'll have to think of what to use it on!
After an hour or so wandering around looking at everything, we headed off to Best Wishes for coffee and a tea cake. This little shop is a treasure trove with lots of odds and ends as well as a good selection of cards.
I've never actually seen anyone sitting at the table outside, but it certainly looks very pretty.
Mum and I always have a good laugh when we go out and today was no exception :o). I decided to try the "stick you arm out and take a photo of yourselves" shot - it didn't work out too badly for a first attempt ;o)
It was such a beautiful day and the trees around the pond were looking really pretty.
This evening it was Claire's turn to have her hair cut - much to her relief as her fringe has been driving her crazy. I took this photo by focusing on Mary and Claire in the mirror.
Jennifer is a little sweetheart and we've known her since she was born. She was quite chatty this evening and I managed to get a few photos of her. Unfortunately, she doesn't stay still for long and most of them were slightly blurred because of movement. I thought this one was quite sweet though and played around with some of the Pioneer Women actions for PSE on it. I'm still very new to playing with actions but enjoying them all the same.

I'm now ready for a slightly earlier night. I haven't had a chance to look at all the blogs I usually look at but hope to catch up tomorrow. Have a great evening.

Updated layout
After posting the layout I decided I wasn't quite happy with it (and not the journaling this time). It didn't seem to feel complete to me. I've now added a pink mat to the photos and journaling and feel much happier. The green is more lime green IRL but it isn't showing it properly in the photo :o(.
PS> I have stuck the corners down a bit better now too ;o)
