Coloured Images

I haven't really felt like making cards today but I am running low on my pre coloured images ready to put on cards. I have had dye in my hair this afternoon as im going purple so lightened my hair and going to hopefully put the purple on tomorrow if I get a chance. bri and myself did these images ready to go on cards, I did most of them but bri had a go aswell, tho I don't think he liked doing it. maybe next time he can just make the cups of tea lol x

Jam Tarts

 This morning I made some jam tarts for everyone. they came out well and they are yummy. they are easy to make. 8oz of flour and 4oz of butter per 12 tarts made with a bit of water to make mixture into a soft dough, plus a dollop of jam in the middle of them. cook on 170 degrees for 15-20 minutes and leave to cool for a short while before transferring to a wire cooling tray. had to send my husband out to the shop to get more jam as we got half way full and I ran out of jam with 14 left to fill! made a big batch of tarts as they are bound to go quick with everyone in this house. its a nice recipe to do and the results are just pure yumness

First attempt at biscuits

this morning I had a look through my cooking book. I haver a lot of plain flour thanks to a friend posting some, we weren't expecting it so it was a lovely surprise. I decided to cook some biscuits, they are going down well. think hubby will look like a biscuit before the end of the day! the pic is only half of them, had to do 2 different batches in the over, partly because we ran out of space in the oven but also because we ran out of trays!They are lovely. defiantly do this recipe again x
