Chocolate massage + Cakes = Easter

Hi all, thanks for your kind words about my breathing difficulties....this week Monday was still pretty bad, but since then it's been getting a LOT better. So far, today is the first day that *touch wood* I haven't been breathing funny! So hopefully I'm on the mend!

In my attempt to 'relax' (in case my breathing WAS caused by stress) I last night had the MOST AMAZING body treatment - it was an Easter special at Bodyscape spa in town and involved a full body scrub with organic cocoa, moisturising, a massage and a mini pedicure. I smelt good enough to eat afterwards! 
I chose a bright coral for my toes <3
If you ever come across this organic cocoa range - I highly recommend it!
I also organised an Easter themed morning tea for work this morning and baked some quick and simple cupcakes to bring with me...The bf had to buy a whole Mini Eggs Easter egg so that I could decorate them, as we couldn't find Mini Eggs in NZ otherwise! So I'm sure he'll 'dispose' of (read: eat) the rest of the chocolate egg afterwards!



 Here's a peek at some of the morning tea goodies:
Some man-handled ginger bread men!

Poor chap!!
My cupcakes...
Fresh hot cross buns...
Home made cookies...
Some of my colleagues enjoying the morning tea- and J wearing her "Easter bonner" hahaha!
Do you celebrate Easter?

Sunday Crafternoon and Giveaway Winner!!!!

Hello, I meant to post the crafternoon photos yesterday but I misplaced my camera cord - whoops! On Sunday three friends from work came to my house and we had an afternoon of drinking tea, eating cakes and crafting! I wish I could do this EVERY Sunday! I made mini cupcakes the day before (I was having a night out on Saturday and thought it best to be prepared in case of hangover!) and even though I am not a pro-baker, I thoroughly enjoyed letting loose with the glitter icing (as you can see!).
I enjoyed the opportunity to use part of my teacup collection!

YUM!
 


Before the chaos!!
SOME of the beads, buttons and sparkly bits ready and waiting!!
 This is what I made:
All are brooches, except for the yellow rope ring :)


 It was great fun and I don't think I've ever drunk so much tea!
Now on to the exciting part.....the winner of the Shh By Sadie giveaway!!!
