I am McBlogLovin!

To make this blog lark even easier for you nice people you can now follow me via Blog Lovin. What it is exactly... I'm not sure, how it works... I don't know but let's give it a go and see if it's fun!

Moving...

Minnie Burton has moved! 

Once upon a time to find me you had to type the slightly long winded 
http://minnie-burton.blogspot.com  
I've made it slightly easier and you can now access the blog at www.minnieburton.co.uk 

Hooray!
(If you really like the old web address you can still access it that way... if you really want to!)

My thanks goes out to Jack, as without him I couldn't work out how to change the URL and all that hosting shizzle. So Thank-you Jack I owe you a pint! 

Also just wanted to mention that I've been tracking all my visitors and have had:

Today is May the Fourth...



Therefore I have one thing to say "May the fourth be with you." Geddit? No fourth of May would be complete without some Star Wars related craft. Enjoy!  



Weekend Inspiration

It's my birthday this weekend! While I'd like to be having a relaxing time with my family, sadly I am a bit snowed under with working this week! But hey it's not like its a special birthday and while technically I am not three years old (add 19 years to that figure!) I just love this card and am going to be thinking about all the..
  1. Good Times.
  2. Suprises.
  3. Friends to Play With. 
For a little bit of happy inspiration! 
It is also a minor double celebration as this here post marks Minnie Burton's 50th post!... which either means I am doing myself proud by keeping up with this blogging lark or that I am too full of my own waffle for my own good! 

I'd also like to say a very happy birthday to my brilliant cousin Scott! He's 21 today! We could have so nearly been twins if only he'd have been born 363 days earlier! 

Have a brilliant weekend I'm going to get my birthday started with some (Palm Oil free) birthday cake! 

Easter Vacation!

I am taking an Easter Vacation so no blog updates till the 2nd of April I'm afraid! In the mean time I hope you have a fabulous Easter and I'll be back blogging before you know it.
Keep checking out my projects on Cut Out and Keep and don't be afraid to drop me messages via the blog, email or twitter. All messages and feedback is greatly appreciated and the support I've had so far from family, friends and the online craft community has been ace. Thank-you!


Have a fabulous palm oil free Easter! 
Love Minnie!

Palm Oil Free Fair Trade Easter Egg- Lir

I've had a lot of hits on my blog about my post on palm oil and my quest to find a chocolate Easter Egg that contained none of the yucky stuff.
Well I am pleased to say that for those of you in the UK and Ireland I have found you a palm oil free Easter egg! Hallelujah!
I found this in my local Tesco store it was the only one I could be sure was palm oil free as it had no mention of vegetable oil. The best thing is that it's only £4.99 and made by Lir, who are a fairly small independent chocolate and coffee company based in Killarney, Ireland. I've been to Killarney and had a brilliant time so perhaps I'm biased but it feels good to support a smaller company rather than Cadbury or Nestle for a change! The only thing I'm a bit peeved about is that it came from Tesco, so in a way I'm supporting one of the biggest suppliers of palm oil filled products to the UK but hey you can't win every battle I suppose! 

Check out Lir, Killarney here.
Egg is £4.99 at Tesco.

I'd rather be thrifting....


Rather self explanatory!
