Crafting & Cooking Supplies

Yesterday I bought myself a couple of lovely things *smiles* I am mainly posting them to prove that I buy things other than yarn ;)

I found a cute little 6x6 paper pack at 50% off, and as I haven't done any paper crafting for a while I thought it might be just the motivation ;)

I love how they all work together, so I shall have fun combining them into different combinations. They also work really well with some of my existing supplies (yes, I have plenty of supplies already, but I couldn't resist... Did I mention they were on sale?!)

The other thing I got, again on sale, was this book:

I think I've mentioned before that I like cooking and I especially like making kitcheny gifts for people, so when I saw this I fell in love. There are some fantastic recipes, plenty that I would like to make. The photography in the book is gorgeous:

I'm not really doing it justice, taking pictures of pictures is never easy ;) Plus I happen to have taken pictures of 3 things I'm not entirely likely to make (marinated goats cheese jars, marshmallows and lollipops) but there are so many beautiful pictures and I quite liked those ones *laughs*

First plan is to make the salted caramels, just need to get a sugar thermometer now!
