tuna sandwiches

Hello!
Hope all is well!

I'm quite busy...my daughter Mia is having her First Communion this Sunday and we're having family over so I have lots of preparations and cleaning to do (so I'm taking a bit of a break from Jane's Doodles)....yesterday I made tuna sandwiches for me and my husband and I thought I'd share this recipe. I didn't come up with it on my own but I can't remember where I found it (on line some where). It caught my eye because with only one can of tuna (they're pretty expensive right?) you can feed a crowd. And also I never heard of using fennel in a tuna sandwich!!

So you'll need:

tuna
mayo
onions (I used spring onions)
salt
pepper
fennel



Fennel is what makes one can of tuna go a long way!! So grate the fennel and really squeeze the liquid out. Chop the onions, salt and pepper to taste, add some mayo (I don't like too much...just enough so it holds all the ingredients together). I also threw in some hemp seeds and added some lettuce when I assembled the sandwiches. So you can add as much, onion, mayo etc. as you like/prefer but let me tell you it's sooooo good and easy!



Bon appetit!

Take care!

friday favourites

Hello!

Hope all is well!
It's been very stressful the past 2 weeks...it's hard to watch family dealing with sickness...I haven't been able to concentrate on much lately...doing a lot of praying. If you are the praying type I ask for your prayers.

TGIF!! Can I get an Amen! 
And can you believe I'm posting my Friday favourites...on a Friday! :)

As soon as I saw this pin I knew it was something I was going to try!! Later today I'm going to go and buy some clay and give it a go this weekend! I have worked with Fimo but never this air drying clay...my first attempt was this bunny and it turned out pretty cute! :)







I'm really loving yellow accents in the home lately. So bright and cheerful! I believe this pillow is from Etsy.







I LOVE to crochet...it's therapy for me! And this gorgeous colour block pillow is something I'd love to try!







I just LOVE this mug from Anthropologie!! I'm fine with the price....but not to fine with the $55 shipping charge! :( So I have no choice but to buy a plain white mug and paint it myself! 



Well..that's it for now...if you haven't joined our JD blog hop (we're giving away our newest stamp sets TEArrific and Springyou still have time!

Have a great weekend!

JD blog hop


Hello!
Hope you are well! :)
The JD design team is show casing our two newest stamp sets TEArrific and Spring and of coarse we're giving these two sets away to one lucky person so make sure to leave comments! :)

I'm sharing this card I created using our TEArrific stamps set (both sets are hand drawn by me). Sorry about the photo. :( I posted a card a few days ago just like this one but with the tea cups.


I heat embossed the macaroons with white embossing powder and used my water colors to colour them in....so so easy! :)



There's been some changes at JD and one of them is a new DT member - Evgenia!! So thrilled to have her join us! We've also got a Guest Designer joining us for this hop so I suggest you hop along!!
