Creative Tuesdays - Purple

This week's theme over at Creative Tuesday's is

 PURPLE...

My girls suggested that Madeline the Mouse should have a friend - I agreed.

Summer thought that Madeline's best friend would be a frog, so we named her Violet, just in time for

Mr. Toast's Creative Tuesday's.

Come play along with us, here, it's so much fun!
see you there

Creative Tuesdays - Lucky

 Madeline was the luckiest mouse of all...she had found her four leaf clover!

and when I saw the Creative Tuesday's prompt over at Mr. Toast's I quickly sketched this out...

Just a few little good luck charms for my friends, over there.

Well, one thing I know is that I am lucky to have found such a wonderful group of people here in the blog world to share my days with! 

Thank you for that!

Now, I am off to visit Mr. Toast, and see all of the creative entries!

Lucky me!

Grab a pencil and paper and come join us!

Creative Tuesdays - Scarf

"Life's truest happiness, is found in friendships we make along the way"
It's time for Creative Tuesdays, with Mr. Toast.

This time around, the theme is scarf. I couldn't help but think of a cute little snowman wrapped up in a scarf....sharing a hug with his new best friend.

Yes, I've got winter on my mind....
So,  let's go visit, Mr. Toast and my Creative Tuesday friends!

You've GOT Mail and TEA


I got mail this weekend, from Mr. Toast! YES! I was the winner of a contest over at his blog Hot Toast and Jam. I correctly guessed the location of this year's Christmas Tea...We are going to the Isle of Mull in Scotland. How fabulous, a box just for me. I must admit my family was a tad bit jealous when the box came...addressed to ME! Inside were delightful confections of chocolate and a box of English Tea, a little Elf, and a hand written note from our host, Mr. Toast, himself.

Just look at all of these goodies!

While I had my tea, I sat and picked out a few outfits to bring along with me.

Every girl needs a little plaid when visiting Scotland,

so this Carolina Herrera dress is perfect for my trip overseas.

and when I get there, I will need some time to relax after the long journey, maybe grab a cup of tea with the host - AND,   I have heard it can get quite blustery on the northern shores of Scotland, so I think this gorgeous dress and jacket from Roberto Cavalli will keep me nice and toasty while we explore

the lovely Torosay Castle.

Now...as for a date? Hmmm?

will, bradley or Jude?

what do you think?

So, thanks again Mr. Toast, for this wonderful gift.

You surely are a wonderful host!
