The theme at blue bazaar this week is girls so I created something special for my girl. The base is an A3 piece of chipboard that’s been coated with gesso & torn paper & layers of paint. A maya road crown mini book was the perfect template for the crown & the paper was spritzed with glimmer mist for xtra sparkle! Then I added tiny hearts & a quote from “she” by Kobi Yamada. I’m so pleased with how this came together!
One of Miss M’s top teeth has been wobbling for a few days & by this afternoon, it was hanging by a thread. It must have really bothered her, because after awhile she plucked up the courage to pull it out!
Good for you baby!
Photography has been a passionate hobby of mine for some time. This year, my goal is to take it to the next level & start photographing professionally. So, I’ve been thinking about logos, business cards & the kind of package I want to present. Yep! Obsessing about the details & being a perfectionist … & the internet is a great spot to find inspiration:
Like this fascinating post about the process of designing a logo
Like the treasure trove of business cards found here & here
Have you got a business card??
Did you DIY or have it custom made??
If you know of a great spot for getting business cards, postcards etc printed - i’d love to hear about it!
There are tonnes of geckos around our house. They’re fascinating to watch & kindof cute with their big eyes & ball shapped toes. We’d be even fonder of the little critters if they didn’t have such an expensive track record frying our electrical equipment – the oven, toaster, several printers, washing machine, computer … the list goes on!
Quick post to share these food photography tips from photojojo
& a few tasty blogs to check out:

enjoy!
a delightful overcast & cool afternoon
flashing her beautiful smile as she talked about the games they’d been playing
& proudly riding her new bike (an early birthday present)
This is one of the goannas that wanders through our house yard each day. One of the good things about having them around is they’re territorial & tend to keep the snakes away! They’re also quite fascinating to watch!
Yes it really is a camel! Our neighbours purchased several camels about 10 years ago to try & control the prickly acacia (an invasive weed). They’re in a huge paddock & you don’t often see them so I was pleased I had my camera with me today!
The day started early, when the kids discovered bunny tracks & the treats in their baskets. Fortunately, they were content to sing & bounce on the trampoline outside for awhile!
Playing with the eggs was almost as much fun as eating them!
sharing his chocolate - sweet huh?!
Then the afternoon brought a sun-shower & this enormous rainbow!
Hope you had a lovely day!
We were given these cute little pups back in November & this time, we all agreed on the names – Sandy & Black Beauty (Beauty for short).
They’re about 6 months old now, have grown so much & are full of energy! They also love cuddles & belly scratches. So when Bear fell off his bike today, Beauty was there to give him sympathy. Then later in the morning, I looked out the window & saw Bear hanging upside down from the monkey bars, giving Beauty a scratch. There’s no doubt they adore each other!
Was a sandcastle – a simple but brilliant idea from a donna hay magazine. All you need are 2 tubs of vanilla ice cream (the perfect bucket shape) & a packet of milk arrowroot (plain) biscuits. Crush the biscuits in a food processor & spread over the slightly softened icecream like sand. Then refreeze. Its the perfect beach party cake!
I wish i’d captured a photo of little Miss H’s face when she 1st saw it – she thought it really was a sand castle!
Master B enjoyed every moment!
We had a small but lovely party with friends. The kids swam, built sandcastles in the real sand (DH brought in with the tractor especially for the party), rode bikes, played dress-ups & cards & pin the teeth on the shark. It was indeed a perfect day - i’m sure everyone will sleep well tonite!
