Shot number nine...

This is my layout for Friday nights challenge and is also for the BOM challenge - the one where you have to decide where you would go, on a magic carpet ride. I've been wanting to do a BOM so this has given me a push to get started. I've also decided it's going to be all circles - just for something a little out of the ordinary!
These we souls used to be our cookie jars when I was a young 'un! Not airtight in the least, but how kitsch are they! So one now houses bits of ribbon that don't fit in my ribbon basket, and the other one holds bobbins and cottons for the sewing machine.

Now the following was in the latest Care2Cro newsletter, so I just had to share, 'cos it's really nice to get such warm feedback...when your doing something for someone else, you don't know their likes and dislikes so it's fun, but I found myself thinking, man, I hope they like this, often!

And Trace:Wow!!!!! I can't believe how amazing it is. We will always treasure this, that is for sure.Thank you so much, and please give my huge thanks to Trace for doing such wonderful work.Thank you again. Your group is so incredible.Bridget

So thanks Deb and Louise for sharing that with us... and your doing a great job pulling all this together.

Now Miss Angelgurl only likes good old banana smoothies so for a little twist on this, here you go Janine...

Banana boat

1 small banana
75mls chilled milk
25mls cocount cream
25mls pineapple juice
1 good scoop of crushed ice

Put the banana, milk, coconut cream and the pineapple juice into the blender and blend together until smooth. Stop and add the crushed ice and blend again briefly. Pour into a tall glass and garnish with a slice of pineapple or a cherry!

Now this is a favourite of mine...do you see a pineapple theme happening here...

1 tbsp ground almonds
1 tbsp grated coconut
3 thick slices of pineapple (either fresh or canned)
150 mls of plain yoghurt

Blend the almonds, coconut and pineapple, then add the yoghurt and blend again briefly. Pour into a glass and sprinkle a few flaked almonds on top.

Go on, have a try of one of them...or make up a concoction of your own...and let me know the recipie!!

Oh, so love that photo, what a nice photo, and great layout. Mmm, I love smoothies, but tend to stick to the same 2 concoctions, so need to try yours.
