~Macmillan Update~

Just thought I'd pop in and share with you how my Macmillan event went today...

Scones with cream and homemade jam

I loved how these buns turned out - green M&M's, green fondant daisies and icing as green as The Grinch!
(Tiny bun cases from Home Bargains 150 for 69p and cocktail sticks with printed Macmillan logos.)
Generous people helping out, donating raffle and tombola prizes and money for a very worthy cause close to many of our hearts...THANKYOU xx
 After a quick tot-up by my Mum and Jo, we have raised £190. Yay! We bet last year's total!
P.S I'm sure Anne at Marmalade and Catmint will have better photos and a write-up,  as once guests arrived I forgot about photos as I was in 'Raffle Ticket' mode!

~Getting ready for Macmillan Coffee Morning~

I'm hosting a Macmillan coffee morning on Saturday from 11 to 1pm, to raise as much money as possible for Macmillan Cancer Support and I'm hoping to top last year's total of £130.86 which I wrote about here..

The Macmillan coffee mornings have been going since 1991 and have raised over £60 million for Macmillan cancer Support since then.
Thankfully I've got today off work, so I'm organising my tombola...

Roll up, roll up for the Macmillan Tombola!! Green raffle tickets, of course!

As a Tea Drinker (of huge quantities) I have to say my event will be a Macmillan 'Yorkshire Tea' morning as I have been kindly and generously supported by the lovely people at Yorkshire Tea (Betty's & Taylor's of Harrogate).

Some of my Raffle Prizes for Macmillan

 So, lashings of Yorkshire Tea, Taylor's coffee and cakes await new friends, old friends, family and Bloggy friends on Saturday!
I will be back with photos and a write-up after Saturday, but for now I am back to baking after I've sampled the latest batch of Brownies out of the oven with a cup of Yorkshire Tea!

I hope you all enjoy supporting a coffee morning near you...Hello to my lovely colleagues who are having theirs today...SAVE ME SOME CAKE PLEASE!
