Some lemon loving...

A little while ago my beautiful neighbours gave me a bunch of lemons picked fresh off their tree. While pondering what I could do with these little beauties, I found a scrummy recipe for Lemon Chicken which uses 'preserved lemons', which was thoughtfully proceeded by a recipe for preserved lemons! Perfect! I ended up making 2 jars of the lemons, with the intention of giving one back to them to put in their cupboard.

Well, today (6 weeks later!), I finally managed to do up some little tags, and a label using the gorgeous Labels 4 spellbinder that Karen graciously lent me for a 'little while'. Thanks sweetie! I will return them soon.



I took them over this afternoon with the recipe that I'd found in the magazine, and they loved the little package that I'd made. That made me smile! :) I'm so thankful for all the friends we've made since moving here. Our lives wouldn't be the same without them as a part of it!

As much as we can...

Like Sarah Gladman {aka Leonardo's Apprentice) I couldn't help but feel that there wasn't enough we could do from here to help the Victorian Bushfire survivors, so I willingly took up the challenge to create a couple of layouts to add to her ever growing collection to send off to Victoria to help the survivors to start rebuilding their lives one step at a time.

If you would like to join in, I'm sure Sarah would be more than happy to send you her address. Just leave a comment on her blog so she knows where to send the address to.

Here are the layouts I've done today...
