Mum to Be


Hello!
I'm running a bit late tonight as I was watching TV!  I was out with a school chum today and we ventured north to Grandtully to The Highland Chocolatier.  I can't believe I'd never heard of it before, let alone been there.  Awesome is the only word I can use to describe it.  You see the choccies being made and readied to be despatched to the likes of Gordon Ramsay, Claridges and Harvey Nics to name but a few so we are talking seriously wonderful stuff.  My dear friend bought me a cone of white chocolate buttons which I'm going to savour.  You will know by now that there would be an eaterie attached which was as delicious as the chocolates.  All in all it was a lovely day out, the sun was shining, it was warm (inside the car) and the scenery beautiful.  I can't believe how late everything is this year, only one more day until May and the trees are just beginning to spring to life.

Anyway, enough waffle for now and onto my card for today.  My daughter asked me to make this card for her department to give to one of their colleagues who is leaving to have a baby.  She knows it's going to be a boy which is why I've made it on the blue tones.  Hope you like!

Off to bed when I've finished this.  Sleep well!
Hugs

Hi Anne

I thought you were giving us a bit of news then with that blog post title LOL!!!!

That chocolate making place sounds magic. I love watching things being made .. .. but have to admit to not being a fan of white chocolate.

Loving your card. The perfect image and a great layout.

Hope you have a good day.

Love Jules xx
