FREE Mothers Day Poem & Bouquet Images

These pretty 'Bouquet of flowers' images were created for Mother's Day, especially for making your own DIY celebration card.

They are free for you to save and print for personal use.

I just use a heavy card to fold and cut to whatever size card I need.

If you print the image on photographic paper, it makes it extra special.

Then just glue the image to the card front.

You could even add coloured pen or pencil details around the outside edge of the card.

I've also penned a little poem, which you are welcome to write inside the card, or use your own meaningful words.

I Love You More.

What words can you say?

On a special Mother's Day? 

I love you more than the moon, so true.

 More than the twinkling stars 

Found in the universe afar.

More than the horizon line that stretches beyond.

More than the lyrics of a love song.

More than a field of sunflowers.

And time in a clock's hours.

I love you more than the sky is blue

I am grateful for all you do.

 So here is a bouquet of beautiful flowers.

For I love you more than rainbow showers.

Lemon Glazed Cornflake Slice

     Cereal-ously Good: Get Your Zest On With This Lemon Glazed Cornflake Slice!

Ever looked at your breakfast cereal and thought, "You know, you're pretty great, but I bet you could be more"? Well, prepare yourselves, because today we're taking the humble cornflake from breakfast table staple to slice superstar. 

The star ingredient, the cornflake, brings its A-game straight from the box. We’re talking about a buttery, crunchy, golden base that’s ridiculously easy to throw together.  The coconut adds a tropical twist.

This easy slice is like the reliable friend who always shows up with snacks – dependable, delicious, and effortlessly cool.

But wait, what’s a scrumptious base without a zesty crown? Enter the lemon icing glaze. This isn't just any glaze; it's a shimmering, tangy, sweet-and-sour tango that cuts through the cornflake crunch like a yellow delicious superhero. 

This slice is the kind of treat that evokes childhood memories (if your childhood involved exceptionally tasty cornflake treats), and this one will create a new, delicious one.

 Lemon Glazed Cornflake Slice is a testament to simple pantry ingredients coming together to create something truly spectacular – fun, flavourful, and utterly irresistible. 

Lemon Glazed Cornflake Slice

Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F)

Base:

1 cup of salted butter

1/2 cup white sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla essence

1 cup plain white flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 cup of crushed cornflakes

1 cup of desiccated coconut

Icing Glaze:

3/4 cup of powdered icing sugar

1 Tablespoon of lemon juice

1 tablespoon melted butter

Hot water 

1 to 2 Tablespoons of desiccated coconut

To Make The Base:

In a medium-sized pot, melt the butter.

Add all the other base ingredients and mix them together with a wooden spoon.

Press the mixture into a lined 21 x 21 cm (8 x 8 inch) tin.

Bake for 20 minutes until golden.

To Make The Icing Glaze:

Mix the powdered icing sugar, butter and lemon juice with a little hot water to a medium-thickness glaze.

When the slice has baked and cooled to slightly warm to the touch, pour the glaze over the base.

Sprinkle the top of the glaze with the coconut.

When completely cold and the glaze is set, cut into squares.

Store in an airtight container in the pantry.

Yield 16 slices.

Sunset Cairn Quote

 
I love this quote!

For me, it is a powerful reminder to live in the present.

We built this rock 'Cairn' on a New Zealand South Island West Coast beach.

And I captured this image as the golden sun was setting.

Easter Dry Flower Egg Shell Arrangement

(Enjoy this FREE image for your personal crafting use)

Easter is suddenly THIS WEEK!

And I've not prepared anything new to add to my existing Easter decor.

Life really gets in the way of crafting sometimes, doesn't it?

So, what to do that is quick and easy, using what I have in my craft stores?

A cute little eggshell arrangement came to mind.

Here's How I Created It:

Step 1: I cracked some eggs by tapping the top of the shells.

Then picked the tops off.

I shook the inside of the eggs from each shell into a bowl, then very carefully washed the empty shells in hot, soapy water.

Note the word 'carefully', as they are fragile and need gentle handling.

While they were drying, we devoured delicious scrambled eggs for breakfast made from the yolks and whites.

Step Two: Gathering of Supplies:

A wood slice

The four eggshells

Dried flowers (statice and strawflowers)

Scissors

Glue gun & glue stick

White twist ties

A set of mini fairy lights

Step Three: Glue the egg shells onto the wood slice.

Break the openings a little more if you think they are not large enough.

Step Four: Very carefully twist the mini fairy lights around the eggshells that are glued to the wood slice.

Step Five: Make four mini bouquets of dried flowers. Tie each bunch together with a twist tie. Trim the tie ends and shorten the stems of each bunch to the right height of your eggshells.

 Place one mini bouquet in each eggshell.

Place in your Easter display, on a shelf or a coffee table.

Turn the fairy lights on to enjoy a little dried-flower egg vase Easter MAGIC!

A Yoghurt Sour Bread That Nutures The Soul.

This quick and easy dough mix and bake, is my ultimate go-to for tray bread and bread rolls.

You need just two ingredients: plain yoghurt and self-raising flour.

 

It takes only 5 minutes to mix together, and a few minutes to knead.

Baked in a hot oven, you will have scrumptious bread or rolls in 30 to 40 minutes.  

Yoghurt Sour Bread or Rolls

2 cups of self-raising flour

1 and 1/2 cups, plus three tablespoons of plain yoghurt

(I use Greek Yoghurt)

Extra flour for kneading.

A tray lined with baking parchment paper.

To Make:

Preheat your oven to 200 °C (392°F)

Sift the flour in a bowl.

Add 1 and a 1/2 cups of yoghurt.

Mix to a dough.

Add the extra yoghurt to make the dough form a ball.

Sprinkle a board with extra flour.

Knead together for a few minutes until smooth.

For Buns or a Long Loaf:

Shape the dough into a log. (For a loaf, leave it like this)

Or for buns, cut the log into four pieces

Shape each piece of dough into a bun.

Place on the prepared tray.

Brush the top with milk and sprinkle with dried herbs, sesame or poppy seeds, or just leave it plain.

For A Moist Cheese and Onion Loaf:

Preheat your oven to 200 °C (392°F)

Sift the flour in a bowl.

Add 1 and a 1/2 cups of yoghurt.

1 cup grated tasty cheese

1/4 of a medium red onion, that's finely diced.

Mix to a dough.

Add the extra yoghurt to make the dough form a ball.

Sprinkle a board with extra flour.

Knead together a minute before shaping into a log.

Bake 35 to 40 minutes until golden.

Note:

Make sure the unused bread is cold before wrapping or placing it in an airtight container.

The next day, I pop back in a hot oven for 4 or 5 minutes, to warm up before serving.

Serving Suggestions:

We devour the warm buns spread with garlic butter.

We enjoyed them with a salad and steak, for a restaurant meal at home!

So:

Garlic buns with a meal, and the next day, a ham salad bun for lunch.

And the Cheese and Onion Loaf, served with soup for dinner,

And the next day, with scrambled eggs for brunch.
