Well, what has been
going on here lately??
Not to much
apart from everyday life -
busy busy! I don't seem to have much time to get on here and blog -
as much as I want to! The days seem to
be flying by even with daylight saving. By the time I get everything done around the house
its time to head to bed it feels like!
I have
had a few minutes here and there which has been spent reading mostly.
Organising a few last minute
handmade gifts and organising some
Christmas food ideas. Today I have spent a bit of time with this.....
Although
I don't usually buy this magazine, this issue had some
super yummy recipes in it for
Christmas. I have found myself spending a bit of time
hovering around this page
Looks like Christmas dinner might have
some delicious dessert!
But I'm really keen on this too!
I thought
this idea was cute...
Might even try it! I certainly have
plenty of baby socks hanging around here!
I have been
loving the '
practical uses' in this book (
and have been using a lot of them too!)
Cleaned the microwave with a simple wipe after boiling up
vinegar,
water and
bi-carb for a few minutes. Adding
vinegar to my rinse cycle in the washing machine to
cut down lint and even
smells. I especially love using
vinegar with my
MCN's now. No more lingering '
smells' that make you think
somethings gone on down there when it really hasn't.
Yesterday I had a
lovely prize arrive in my mail box. A
sweet smelling package from the
lovely Angelique from
No life without Wife! When I entered
this giveaway
I never thought I would win anything (I
never win anything). Well I in fact
came second, and only through luck as even having a second prize winner was never mentioned.
Take a look a this
lovely fabric and
some absolutely beautiful smelling soap! You could smell it before you even opened the package!
Devine!
THANK YOU Angelique! The package has arrived and it is
loved!
Lately I have been
spending some time in my garden with my camera, I am
loving spring. This is
our first spring here and I can't get over how
this garden comes alive in spring!
The
beautiful flowers that adorn our carport -
complete with little bees!
The
gorgeous pink flowers that are growing in a corner by the pond -
which is now full thanks to Mitchell and the hose today!
We have heaps of rose bushes around , all producing lots of lovely flowers...
We have an
old shoe cleaner by our back steps and I thought this would make a lovely '
antique' photo. (
Thanks to
Coffee Shop Photography Free Actions and Tutorials!)
Just enjoying the sweet clear sky and.....
...the beautiful view from our back deck.
I have also been
loving the
water shots over at
Sarcastic Mom. I thought I would try some out myself.
Lots of
fun!
We also
took a little trip down to see '
Pop' at the farm. I did get some
lovely shots while there.
Loving the
blue sky! It was a beautiful warm sunny day!
See for yourself! When I say
warm - I mean
warm!
Mitchell did some '
fishing' in the river.
Brett and '
Pop' fixed the water pump.
And its always fun throwing rocks in the water too!
We also marvelled at the circle of life...
I think that is about all for this post.
I decided not to join in this week with '
Not Me Monday' as I was just
Not Me. Feeling unwell and lacking for words. Lets hope this week goes a bit better.
We are heading to Canberra this weekend too! Looking forward to seeing everyone again....
Catch you all later!
