my new frame
I had brought a frame last year and had a friends husband who is talented with wood wire it up so I can display the boys photos/artwork in the kitchen. I really enjoy the colour of the rimu window frame and its perfect next to our wooden doors.
The frame in the kitchen is usually full of photos/ artwork and I use it to take photos of my blocks and also things listed on felt and I think the little pegs just look adorable!
Well at Musgroves I came across another frame a few months back but this time it is thin and long and will fit in our spare room.
Now to make more things to hang and display on the frame.

Its now just been put up in its new home. The advantage of using a window frame minus the glass is its light and also has a lip for me to place thin objects on the bottom like a shelf.

Cheesecake recipe
Mr B brought home a large bag of peppermint slice off cuts- the bits they can't sell in shops but the bakery next to his work sells. The bag doesn't look appealing but the bits are so yummy. With much of the bag left I decided to make a peppermint slice cheesecake. I used this recipe for inspiration and my trusty food processor! The great thing with this recipe is you can use a packet of your favourite biscuits or a failed chocolate cake or slice for the base.
Peppermint Slice no bake Cheesecake
Ingredients
ends of Peppermint slice- I used a fair amount in this recipe so the base is thick
60g melted butter
500g Cream Cheese
400g can Sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup chocolate drops
1 teaspoon vanilla essence (or flavouring)
Method
In food processor bend together bits of slice slice and melted butter.
Blend together Cream cheese and condensed milk add in chocolate drops and vanilla essence and pour over base.
Refrigerate until set and remove from tin to serve.
Enjoy!
