You can make these cute customisable café style muffin liners with items you already have around the house. The inner liner is made of baking paper and the outer liner is made of wrapping paper! I have wanted to make café style muffin liners for a while but have never tried it until now. That’s probably because I have a container full of muffin/cupcake liners that I can choose from! I do like the tall puffy café style ones though – they look so elegant! Despite liking the café style shape, … [Read more...]
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I’d like to wish all of my readers a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful and safe New Year! It is going to be a beautiful day, weather wise for Christmas this year. It will be about 28 °C (82 °F) here which is cool enough that we can enjoy a hot Christmas lunch but it won’t be too cold. We will be able to have a lovely Christmas lunch outside under our veranda (patio). Because it’s not going to be too hot we will be having some roast meats and vegetables. Plus this year I have made a … [Read more...]
DIY Nail Polish Organizer (Using a Photo Frame!)
Lean how to use a photo frame to display your nail polish collection with this cute DIY Nail Polish Organizer. You won’t believe how quick and easy it is to make! Over the last couple of years I have been storing all of my nail polishes in a small gift box. When I first did this I had thought that it would be great because I could grab the entire box and take it to where I want to use it. The problem with this is that every time you pick up the box half the nail polish bottles fall over! It … [Read more...]
Easter Goodie Bags (Last Minute, Super Easy How To!)
These last minute Easter Goodie Bags are super easy to put together but they look so much more personal than pre boxed Easter eggs! Normally I give my nieces and nephews some pre boxed Easter eggs for Easter. But this year I wanted to make their Easter gifts look a little more personal. I didn’t want to go to a lot of expense though because I know they will be more interested in the chocolate than the wrapping! Plus I already had some Easter eggs of various sizes I just need to work out … [Read more...]

Beautiful Paper Christmas Decorations
The whole family will love making and decorating the tree with these gorgeous Paper Christmas Decorations. They are so easy to make from coloured A4 paper! It seems to be a bit harder to get into the Christmas spirit this year. I don’t know why but everyone I talk to says the same thing. I think that it has something to do with the cool summer that we have been having so far. Normally we have experienced a heat wave or two in the lead up to Christmas but this year the weather has been very … [Read more...]
Crunchy Nut Honey Joys with M&M’s!
It’s a while since I have eaten honey joys; they used to be one of my favourite snacks as a kid! We didn’t have them all the time, but at birthday’s and school fetes they always made an appearance. Honey joys are a delicious sweet, crunchy treat and they are also quick and easy to make. Regular honey joys are made with plain Cornflakes but I decided to use Crunchy Nut Cornflakes just to give them a subtle twist. Traditionally honey joys don’t have any chocolate in them either. But I wanted to … [Read more...]
