Marie & Co have opened a beautiful cafe in the heart of Warragul, & you can have a look HERE, enjoy. Don`t you just love the concept? Inspiration all around, the cafe not only houses some very delicious-looking cakes, muffins etc, but there`s an assortment of art hanging on the colourful walls, & what`s more, there`s a SCRAPBOOKING store right there as well!!! Talk about being spoilt for choice, coffee & cake OR craft, coffee & cake OR craft, hmmm...now you can do BOTH LOL. I`ll come & visit soon Marie, & you better save me a piece of that yummy-looking cheesecake : ) Congratulations to you & yours on your new venture :)
On another note, I have come across this very informative blog, but b4 you visit, make sure you get a snack for yourself, as I can guarantee you`ll be there for quite a while...ENJOY

More ATCs & Some News...
Just yesterday I received my beautiful ATC returns from a couple of swaps I took part in during the Christmas period hosted by Marie over at Said Simply...
"Pecan Snowballs" is by Lara W, "Granma`s Punch" is by Leesa H, "Fruit Dip" (with the acrylic bauble) is by Marie S, followed by "Recipe For Christmas Joy" (made up in a concertina style) by Samantha N, then we have "Brandy Cream Sauce" (with its gorgeous envelope) by Jan-Marie, followed by my own 2 ATCs for "Meringue Baskets". I have to say I`m not much of a cook, but I loved the idea of this swap, & needless to say, I loved the ideas everyone has come up with... Thank you Ladies :)
The first one had no details on the back, but when I find out I will come back & edit the post, "Spread your Wings" is by Leesa H, "Twinkle" is by Samantha N, the third one, "City Sanctuary" is by Nicole F ( & mine was specially picked as I`m the only one who lives in the city LOL), the next two were also missing the details on the back (& I want to know if that boot is a stamp & who makes it !!!! So I shall find out whose ATCs they are (& give a little slap on the wrist LOL) & come back & share. **********The "Flower" ATC was made by Haley (Jan`s daughter), "Happy Halloween"was made by Jan, & the boot was hand-drawn with each ATC having different coloured tights, & "100% Artsy" was Marie`s creation...Beautiful work ladies, & thanks Marie for letting me know...*************

As for my news, I`ve been kindly asked by Marie to contribute to her ATC blog "Artilicious"... Thank you so very much Marie, it`s a lovely compliment :) So as soon as I get organized enough, I`ll go & post over there. I already have some fun themes in mind...so stay tuned :) but in the meantime for this month, Marie has chosen a black, white & red colour scheme & the theme is romance, so if you`d like to join in this ATC swap, just head over to Artilicious & sign up... & tell her Vicky sent you ; ) As always, thank you for stopping by, & if you`re in Victoria today (where it`s 46.7 ºC) stay cool anyway you can...TT4N
