sent in post.

Have made a few bits & bobs to post
to pals this last wee while...
but forgot to take pictures of them.
So now they have arrived safe & sound
a few of the people who received them have
kindly taken pictures and emailed them to me!

This went to Debbie
my lovely Crafty Pad creator!

It is following an idea from my lovely
Blogger pal Amanda
who decorated a coffee mate tube for me.
This was an after eights stick tube.
I covered it with some pale green paper.
Covered all the edges with a darker green ribbon.
Added Bo Bunny and some dyed paper
flowers with green or blue gems.
The butterfly is one of Debbies own
butterfly stamps that I love.
They are also available as blog candy.
There is also a sale on at Crafty Pad tomorrow too!

The verse is from the butterfly set too.
I filled it with goodies including
some yummy Aloe Vera hand lotion
from Arran Aromatics.
Who make my all time fave bath goodies
called "after the rain"

I do love tubes of goodies! xxx

Ice Cream! I scream!

Best for when you are feeling under the weather
no matter how young or old you are
is....Ice Cream!

My darling other half came home the other day
with requested Ben & Jerry's
Chocolate Fudge ice cream!!

Image my disgust to discover it was
FROZEN YOGURT !!!

Ewwwwwwwwwwwe!

Yesterday Darlin Hubby came home with
an ice cream maker!!!

Am reading instructions......

You need to freeze the bowl for 24 hours.
you need to chill the liquid you want to turn
into ice cream for 12 hours......
Only handle the frozen bowl with
pot gloves to avoid frost bite!
* GULP*

"This appliance is not intended for use by persons
with limited experience
or knowledge unless thy are supervised!"
* I can't find the experienced enclosed person
I might need in the box!!!!*

"Don't however use the machine inside the freezer!"
*how big do the think my freezer is?*

"you are at risk of salmonella from ice cream..."
*ok......*

It lists hazards for people operating the machine,
including

• electrification
  
• suffocation
• hanging
• hair injuries!
  
• frostbite
  

The booklet that comes with machine
is 24 pages long.....
only 5 pages have recipes on them!!!
The rest is health warnings!!!!

But on a positive note.....
it says you should consume all the finished ice cream,
IMMEDIATELY!!!!


Now I know this looks like a blood fest...

But it is home made Raspberry ice cream
with raspberry sauce
all natural no added colourings.

And I didn't think to take a picture
till it had started to melt...

it was yummy!
Have more fruit to make
some more tomorrow !
