I popped into the Salvo’s op-shop on my way to the library this morning, and spent the huge amount of $5!

Sick Bubba…

Poor Little Bear has been sick the last few days, so no sewing or scrapping to be shown at the minute. I did, however, get a chance to do some baking today. Very simple, but oh so yummy!
