PO Box full of win!

Woo for new threadless t’s! I got a voucher for Christmas *wink wink* while the sales were on. Didn’t expect them to arrive for awhile yet, so I was pleasantly surprised.

The zomibes is not mine. Manpet has become addicted to the zombie section of Call of Duty world at war, who wouldn’t want to play online with strangers all over the world and shoot zombies!

But wait, there was more! A nice little surprise, another T!

Opps, she forgot to sign the express bag, so it took a scenic drive from QLD But better late than never.

“I loved cupcakes before they were cool” a fab deisgn which was on my to get list. Designed by the lovely and super amazingly talent Natalie Perkins. Recently worked with Natalie on a funky logo for a new blog launching in the New Year (we better get eating Rah!) So stay tuned for that…gee, wonder what it’s about Hmmmm.

Spanks Kay..love it

Happy Birthday Calais

Happy 3rd Birthday to my special little boy today. Still so full of the silly and naughty, but growing into such a beautiful little love bug ( have found this to happen with all my meezer boys between the age of 2-3 ) A bag of pipe cleaners for him, he’s in heaven.

Another challenge, 3rd time lucky?

Now, we tried the 365 challenge a few years back, I lasted about a month on that. This year was the 52 things I <3 challenge, again, about a month on that one as well. Kay did a fabulous job and actually made it to 52..woo! Though I did do pretty well with the few weight loss challenges this year, completing both till the end..so there is hope for me.

So, what challenge have I got in mind for next year? 365 again, but a mobile version this year. I can rarely be arsed dragging my camera out these days (in desperate need of a new one, yes it still has chocolate in it!) I am so in love with the camera on my n95..it does a pretty damn good job when I can take the time to set up a shot properly ( and if I can stop dropping it!)

The plan is, take a picture a day with your mobile phone (or small point and shoot..NO dslr or the like) you can post it every day if you like. What I am planning on doing is have a Phoney Friday Phriday with a collection of the weeks pictures, probably in a collage style the like that can be easily made with big huge labs or my personal fav Picnik with a bit of a round up of the pics.

Easy right?! Surely I can keep up with that. So whos with me..come on, you know you want to

Merry Bloody Christmas

bah humbug and all that crap. Every year I hate it more. It’s Christmas Eve and I still have shopping to do I will be glad when today at least is bloody over!

Present buying, argh I hate it. I really suck at it. Trying to think of what to buy everyone, when they have already bought themselves everything they want. The children are getting harder and harder to buy for. Why don’t they want Bunnings vouchers? I do love the mind games tho, the one thing they really wanted has been sold out for weeks. Oh, such a shame you miss out..so sorry Little do they know it is stashed in our wardrobe *hehe*

The last few weeks have been a mess, started a new job and the nightmares of trying to buy a house. Contracts exchanged and deposit paid yesterday…we bought a house!!

So despite my best laid plans to get a great Christmas picture this year, it just wasn’t going to happen. The boys were less than keen…
