HI FROM CHA.....

Well today's the last day :( before I tell you about the yummies en route I'll give you a little low down on the Californian cuisine.... Oh where to start... Well first of all there's the cheesecake factory, now we HAD to make to two trips to this one, it truly is the BEST, we NEED one in the UK. I had the most juiciest steak at the Outback last night, had Italian at Buca Di Beppo (the most eclectic restaurant I've ever been in. I think half of CHA were there that night including Mr Holtz and Ms Helmuth etc. Also visited Fire & Ice, on recommendation. That was fantastic such a great concept oh yeah and the food was great too. Needless to say the 6lb I lost before I went away has probably gone back on again and again and again!!!

To cover the ribbon joins and finish off the effect, I cut a circle of matt gold card using my new Cricut, punched a scalloped circle from the brown paper and stamped another cupcake on that, mounting it on little foam pads for dimension. I don't think I'm quite up to making my own wrapping pap...
