I managed to meet up with a very special friend today for a catch-up, ruminations on life, a few giggles, and of course my first seasonal Starbucks from the Christmas menu. I went for a Peppermint Mocha (the most coffee I will ever manage in one cup) even a latte is too strong for me but this certainly hit the spot - and of course it was accompanied by some fruit toast....
I also spotted this year's Starbucks Christmas CD, but will have to look at it more closely another time to determine whether it's one for the list or not.
We had a good flick through my new addition to the cook book library:
I may just try one of these recipes for the next crop... who knows, but it won't be one that calls for 8 egg yolks! LOL
We also ventured into TK Maxx - it would have been rude not to, and given the sheer amount of AC 12x12 album kits including a lovely Dear Lizzy one... I am amazed we walked out minus a kit... Will have to see if they get any other Dear Lizzy ones in in the range I really liked.
On the scrapping front... something has come out of its box ready to be added to...
And speaking of Christmas... take a look at the Christmas cactus I am currently plant-sitting...
Right, I suppose I'd best see about ordering Pink Martini's Christmas album... wonder if it's up for download on iTunes yet? I noticed there was a new Pink Martini track on the Starbucks album so... am rather hoping it will be on their new Joy to the World album.
I've just been looking at your spinner in one of my old copies of Scrapbook Inspirations. It really is so fab. And love that DCM card too

Hummingibrd bakery cupcakes are my only success so far. It must be something to do with the science of things. Read a good blog about difference in ingredients if you want flat tops or dome tops - very fascinating. Let us know what your cakes come out like:-) my fav obviously vanilla dn the chocolate/hazelnut.
