Hope all you Mums out there had a great Mothers Day! I was lucky enough to have a few quiet (ish) hours of creating while DH looked after the kids. Below is the result ....I took Finn to Auckland just before Christmas last year, and one of our outings was a trip to the zoo. So these are a few pages of a wee book I made for Finn about the day, I wrote a basic story so he can practice reading and learning the words (along the lines of the reading books he is bringing home from school).
I used a picture boardbook from the big red shed (cost $2) and then just covered the pages with pp and inked edges.And with all the stamping and sewing I have been doing about cupcakes, I decided to actually make some today for the first time - so here goes ...
They turned out very yummy! I made the icing a tad runny though, opps - LOL! I asked Emma what colour for the icing - knew it was either going to be pink or purple, and I was right! :)

What a great idea for Finn - I'm sure he loves the book. As for the cupcakes they seem to be on a par with owls/birds at the moment. We bought a really cool recipe book of cupcakes in Aussie but have to get it back from my DD to give them a go.
cool bookf for Finn there Mich. So I just read Beverleys blog and you used purple icing on these cakes. So I want to know if you will wear a purple tafeta outfit.
LOL at Janine's comment! Real cupcakes - yum, they look good. Love Finn's Zoo book, it's a fantastic way to encourage those reading skills.
I bet Finn loves that book - what a cool idea - reading is so much more fun when it's about you! Yeah come to SENZ Mich, come on, come on!! I'm staying at the CIT, which is a bit like a scrapbookers hostel. Create in Hamilton have organised it. You all get a seperated single room. Shared bathroom. If I remember it's fifty dollars a night. One of my friends has a car, so you can get a lift to the racecourse etc etc with us - it isn't far to walk anyway - it is on the way back LOL! You can find out more about it from a link on the SENZ www.
Woo hoo - love Finn's new reading book - what an awesome idea.
Cupcakes, cupcakes, cupcakes ... everywhere ... ooh-la-la sitting there staring at me on that baking tray ... they look delic-ee-mo!!!
Finn's book looks awesome, what a great idea. It will definitely help him with his reading and he'll love seeing the photos of something he did with you.
The cupcakes look yum!!!
