    The crafts look Adorable and fun but Oh how those Coconut Custard Bars and that Chocolate Tart sound so very yummy and look so very good!! 🙂 It’s a VERY good thing we don’t have virtual eating… Because I do believe I would have to stop following you because of all the weight I would gain 🙂 I am very much looking forward to following along with you this coming 2013.. A Very Happy New Year to you and yours!!!
