29 faces day 1

Mrs Fortnum

 Day one of the 29 face challenge and I really wasn't sure whether to sign up for it this time round, I completed it last time round in September and found it loads of fun but this month is jam packed so I pondered if it was possible, but after reading Irene Rafael and her wise words of treating the challenge like an appointment in the diary, perhaps making the most of just fifteen minutes if short of time.

Today is a prime example of time shortages, It is my daughters 21st birthday and I promised her a mulberry Handbag... not a real  one!!!! Good grief no, a cake one. :)

 This is it, made this morning and to go with the handbag just had time to quickly sketch in neo-color crayon a rather distinguished lady. This is the sort of lady who has several real mulberry bags and shops in Fortnum and mason on a Saturday afternoon.


so hopefully now I'm up and rolling I'll make it through the next 28 days posting a face a day, look forward to seeing what all of you out there make of this 29 faces

    Yes, your lady really does look distinctive! A handbag as a cake, now that's what I call a unique gift! She must've been so pleased ....

    Very posh cake, and so creative in itself.
    I like your lady. Sometimes when we work very quickly it roduces something really good like this lady. One of the benefits of 29 Faces challenge.
