stores in the US and buying lots of new supplies! I want to use up some of my old supplies so I can legitimise new purchases to myself. LOL!! I love this paper, I got it off my Ex's Grandparents (I thought it was sweet that they bought me some scrapping stuff!) but seeing as that was a long time ago it's time to use it! It reminds me of all of Mum's fine china cups and saucers she carried back from England (I'll never forget how chock-a-block your suitcase was Mum, and that no cups were broken!) I knew I wanted to use this pic of Mum and I from my Frocks & Fascinators High Tea and include the words from her card. It was a long card and I didn't get time to read it on the day, when I finally got to a week later it brought a tear to my eye! I loved cooking with Mum when I was growing up, or at least sitting on the bench telling her about my day while she prepared dinner. That brings back many memories for me. I can even feel the texture of the laminate bench tops and the feel of the T-bar on my back (and trying not to knock the phone or the fruit basket off the T-bar when I lent back against it!) I loved baking Chocolate Peanut biscuits and quick mix chocolate cake. Mum tells a story of when I would make jam drops with her and she had to go along and make the jam hole bigger cos my tiny thumb hardly made a print at all! I hope one day I can share special kitchen times with my own children. I was so proud when Mum wrote that I have tought her things. I thought she knew everything in the kitchen! :) C

I tell that story about the jam drops! I used to know the chocolate cake recipe off by heart. I haven't made it in forever but I think I may have a pretty good idea of the recipe still! And I love peanut choc chip biscuits. I still make them sometimes, with plain choc chips thru half for dave, and with peanuts added to the other half for me. Tassy eats either. I like Tassy helping me in the kitchen but i seem to spend a lot of time saying "Careful! You're making a bit mess!" Today we made passionfruit slice which was delish! She kept telling me she doesn't like passionfruit but i made her help me and made her try the slice. She loved it!
PS. I used to always sit on the bench but I never seem to anymore!
PPS. I can't quite read the journalling!
