  1. Oh Melleny - you are just too sweet to blog the instructions for me. I had a think and thought that you may have used pins or maybe small brads. I thought I might print your photo out and give it a go so I came back for a look and there was my name and it was the biggest surprise because I read it and thought "that's me". I was shocked and excited - yes I know a tad sad but hey, it's good when little things make you happy I think. Anyway, thank you for taking the time to post it. I'm off to the shops today so I'll give it a go. Have a great day, Joanne

  2. I love the christmas puddings. I make them every year but had never thought to use a jaffa. Saces cutting up raspberry lollies!

    Do you mind if I was to use your photo on a scrapbook page for my album?
