That adds up to an extra 24 hours at the end of every four years, so we tack on a leap day to align our calendars with the sun’s position. The reason is that it actually takes the earth 365 days and 6 hours to make a revolution around the sun. Many thanks Tracey.Leap years only occur once every four years. I also have to thank Tracey at Tracey's crafty scraps for this award. Except for husbands.Īnd do you know the worst thing about this obsession? - I haven't got one slice of fruit cake, one coffee cupcake, no scones, not even a slice of plain sponge to adorn one of these wonderful cake stands today. Well then ladies, do I have a problem? Should I seek help? I'm like this with everything - I have to have loads of stuff and one is never enough. I'm trying very hard at the moment trying not to add it to my basket and proceed to checkout. I've also been eyeing up this piece of gorgeousness from Laura Ashley.

I love the patterns that are formed in these moulded glass pieces. I have some lovely domed cake standsĪnd some very nice glass stands that will stack neatly on top of each other for a glamorous display. The problem is, I already have several cake stands and think that I might just have cake stand OCD.

Firstly, let me show you my latest tin (I'll save that particular problem for another day). Today, I fully intended a quick post to show off my latest couple of purchases but it has developed somewhat, as I begin to realise that I might have a problem.
