It’s Guy Fakes/Bonfire Night over here in the UK on November 5th and to help you get ready for the occasion, the lovely people at The Gobstopper have written a guest post for me, complete with a recipe for treacle toffee, yum!

Curlformers Outfit Inspiration
This is a different post than usual, although I know that sometimes I do post clothing I have my eye on in my loving posts! I’m far from a fashion blogger and don’t think I’d want to be, but the lovely Lilla was running a competition on her blog to win £100 of Amazon vouchers! Of course I thought I should join in, especially since I have been interested in the brand for a while – basically they are a heat free curling system, which is definitely something I know a lot of people are looking for.
Halloween Themed Crafts
I love Halloween even though I don’t usually ‘celebrate’ it in the expected way with dressing up, parties and more. Instead I like to wait until the holiday is over and the Halloween decor is reduced! I have always had a love for skulls and all things spooky and don’t like limiting myself to having it for a short time at a certain point in the year!
However, I realise that a lot of people are not as into having spooky things up and around all year round but still enjoy making and creating things to decorate their homes and serve at Halloween parties and I have found some awesome things around the internet for you to make and enjoy!
Delicious Pasties Recipe
(Please excuse the uneven colouring, I didn’t have much luck with the light or editing!!)
I have posted a lot of ‘makes’ this week and I hope to continue to make at least one thing every week, if not a lot more!
We made pasties using Paul Hollywood’s pastry recipe and they turned out to be delish! These are perfect for packed lunches, picnics, lunch, dinner and snacks! There’s no recipe as such, apart from for the pastry, which is Paul’s one (and pretty darned fabulous) but I took photos of the process to share with you guys at least!
Make: ‘Create’ Bunting
I knew that I wanted to decorate my paper storage unit and I love bunting, so decided to make some using paper doilies and my Silhouette Cameo cutting machine. I recently upgraded my software to the designer edition which gives me more flexibility over the shapes I can use, file types and being able to edit the images to my needs.
