:: Good Stuff :: Holiday Guide…

November 7, 2011

Here is the direct link!

Here it is! It is done! It was actually nearly done all day, but it would not upload to Issuu properly! Luckily, Bec from Little Shop Of came to the rescue via Twitter and uploaded it from her super speedy computer. Phew.  So here it is! I hope you enjoy the Good Stuff!  It has taken so many hours to compile this… so I hope it’s something fun for you to read!

Lots and lots of people contributed writing, recipes, images and chatter. So a very big thank you to those people. They are listed in the first pages of the mag!  Please excuse any little errors… I did my best, but it was QUITE tricky!

xx Pip

    ?My daughter has just about mastered riding with the trainers off, so a bike of my own to keep up with her would be fab.?And of course a rainbow Jellybean bike would complement her pink sparkly number with flutters on the handle bars *^.^* oooh and the much coveted craft books which are on my christmas pressie list are the cherry on top. ?

  • Michelle and Piers November 8, 2011 at 2:11 PM

    I'm home from work sick and reading this really made my day! Thanks so much for all you do Pip!

  • Julie Delves November 8, 2011 at 11:38 AM

    Fabulous Pip! You have inspired me – we are having a hand-made Christmas this year. I realise that that probably isn't the point of your book, but the sheer kitchy adorableness of the whole thing is a celebration of the charming,achievable and doable. Like a hand made Christmas. Thanks!

  • clare November 8, 2011 at 11:29 AM

    holy wow! it is amazing! good job you! x

  • kate November 8, 2011 at 11:04 AM

    I am so excited to read this!! It is going to be my special treat after sending a large chunk of my PhD qualifying paper to my advisor. (Also, I think my cat, whose nickname is Pippers, would like to say hi, because he keeps headbutting me while I type this. So hello to Pip, from Pippers!)

  • GourmetGirlfriend November 8, 2011 at 8:48 AM

    WOW Pip it is BEEEEEEE-YOU-TIFUL!!!!!!!
    Seeing it and all the gorgeousness & awesome peeps inside makes me feel even happier to be a part of it. MWAH to you!

  • Nic November 8, 2011 at 8:32 AM

    Oh yay for you! I really, really want to print it out, but that's not the point! Instead I'll read it online then print out the recipes I like. I made the vanilla berry tart so often and people always comment how good it is. I direct them to meetmeatmikes and then they come back to me again and say how wonderful that is!

  • Cindy November 8, 2011 at 6:24 AM

    Not that I am surprised by the fabulousness of it – but wow! Beautiful work and great contect

  • Little Shop of Handmade November 8, 2011 at 4:51 AM

    HI miss Pip! Wow, what an achievement – it looks so fabulous!! I would love to have a hard copy to hold and to keep! I think you have done such a wonderful job. Hours of good stuff to look and and distract me from my work. Thanks a million. Bec x
