‘Easter Egg’ Easy Easter Biscuits – perfect afternoon baking with the children

The Cricut Mini – see what it’s all about.
We had an invitation a few weeks ago to an event that sounded a lot of fun – but we couldn’t attend. Thankfully, Michelle from Utterly Scrummy stepped in, and went on our behalf… I was very excited to attend a Cricut Mini demonstration and craft workshop at The Make Lounge in London on behalf of Little Stuff.
