It's crafty Saturday ! While I was working on cute bookmarks (soon more about them), my hubby was adding some animals and other cute things to a photo of us that we will use for the promotion of our book.
My friend Dani and I made a little movie of us baking the carrot cake from my book. It´s real easy, I only recommend to secure the Icing from kids. Otherwise It might not make it onto the cake. Here´s a link to the German post on www.backenmitlove.de
Yes, I know, It´s still kind of warm, but we have to face the fact that it be colder soon. So I removed the summer decoration (bye bye) from our front porch and started to put up things that welcome a long and golden fall. However, one thing is already settled for later.
