Got my background back!

it looks a little different to me, can't say why that is, but, it's back!

Thank you all for helping me! :) It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be and the same background was still available! :) (does a little dance in my chair)

:) Happy Day! :)

Oy!

I might have lost my blog background. :( So sad! There are changes going on at cutest blog on the block, two great gals and I've promoted that site a lot. Wonderful blog layouts. :)

Well, until I find some technical expertise... I'm not techno, no how ;) The blog might look a bit barren,  but, don't fuss!

The cornicopia is always full and flourishing! I might be back with a new look (sadly, I loved my layout and would never have changed it) but, I will be back, with or without a background. ;)

I'm sorry peeps! It's all about the visual, isn't it?

We carry on! :) We shall prosper once again! :)

C'mon in! We're having a little party! :)

 The table is all set, c'mon, don't be shy, have a bite to eat.
There's lots of sweet delicacies to enjoy. :)

Amongst all these goodies are the gifts I got from the girls. :)
From Pei Li
I very carefully, removed them from the box. :)
A sweet box of macaroons, beautiful hydrangeas and a tray of the most delicate, delightful desserts. :)
Amazing the details on things so tiny!

From Asuka
Lace cookies, all sealed in individual bags. To keep their freshness, of course! :) (how does she do that???)
Aren't these just super sweet? :) She made the box, too. I like how it's patterned on the outside and the inside.

From Cindy
A strawberry cake, that is pink, my favorite color. :)
Cute, cute, cute cupcakes. Look at the tiny silver sprinkles on them. All precisely placed.
A fruit danish, pain du chocolate and a croissant.
The best part, the tiny, tiny cupcake papers.
The size of them has me completely dumb founded!
And, she folds each crimp by hand. She showed Sans! and I how to do it, but, I'll leave it up to Cindy to be the world supplier of cupcake papers. :)

and some of her tatting! :)
Cindy showed us how she tats, but, it's beyond me, I'll never get that. I can't figure out how she is able to make patterns, it's just little knots, you know?!

From Sans!
More flowers! :) As if she were not already generous enough. She shared some more of her flowers with me. We were supposed to hit Bangkok, but there was too much going on over there. That's where these are from.

and trims! I'm sure I'll find uses for both of these!

Thank you ladies, oh, so much for the precious, precious goodies and for making my stay in Singapore so memorable. It's nice having a little bit from all of you to remember the trip.

While we're at it, let's welcome some new followers to the party as well.
Welcome!
