All day long post card

Me and my better half try to do something special every 26th to celebrate our anniversary, so this month, with a tight budget I made this Home Made puzzle/postcard!

I can say it was a success :) every couple hours my husband was texting saying that he found another piece and asking for clues! 

 

All you need:

• a single face postcard (the prices go from £0.50 to £1.20)
• scissors
• a pencil
• a marker pen (something like a Sharpies)  

First write your postcard was normal, but ideally with a marker pen. Then with a pencil draw your puzzle outlines and cut then.

Mix them and have fun hiding them away. I asked the waiter to put the last piece of my puzzle with the bill when we went for dinner! My husband face? PRICELESS

Home made cristalized orange

This was a great way to get rid of that couple of oranges that where turning into "prunes"!

I just slice them as thin as I could and put in a pan with 2 parts water to 3 parts sugar and let them turn into caramel. The cold them in a rack and sprinkle with sugar to avoid the to stick together and voila, a great treat! and don't forget to add a little water to the caramel left in the pan and you will have a amazing syrup for you crepes and cakes!

Getting ready for Halloween...next week I'm carving, this week just painting!
