Cheap Thrills, Multitasking and a Winner

One boy likes sitting in a box while he sings music from the Blues Brothers (his current obsession) so I thought I mose well put the little boy one in too.
We're all about expensive toys in this house :o)
Today I am trying to get things done.
Sometimes that means doing two things at once. 
If only he could fold while I carry him and the basket to his room.
Something to work on...


Yesterday while I should have been drawing a giveaway winner, I was making butter!
Ever since I watched a Jamie Oliver 30 Minute Meals ep as few months ago I've been hankering to try and make my own. Guess what??? It tastes like real butter. A carton of pure cream in the KitchenAid mixer and about ten minutes later I had butter and buttermilk.
I added a little salt and ta dahhhhh!

Now, that GIVEAWAY winner - Random Generator says Number 1.
Lizzie, that's you!

Email me your snail mail details and a rainbow will be in your letterbox soon.
Thanks for commenting everyone.

Time for lunch and dishes before my 'distracter' wakes.
Have a great, sunshiney day people.
