Oh Alice!

You are all such awesome blog readers, and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read this little space in the interent.

I really want to know what YOU think. This blog is, after all, a place where you (hopefully) come back too, and I want it to be about things you want to read. The survey is here, and everyone who fills it out for me will be in the draw to win a secret prize! It’s not long, only a few questions, most of which are multiple choice!!

Now, back to our regular programming…

Last weekend we went and saw Alice in Wonderland for Luke’s birthday. We gave it 4/5 stars, which is pretty good for us!

To celebrate I thought I’d share with you some ‘Mad Hatter’ inspired photos I took last year…

Thanks for visiting my site again! keep checking back for more updates!

Gifts, Glorious Gifts!

This is Challenge 13 of Blog This.

Do people think you’re hard to buy for or are you constantly dropping hints? What’s on your ultimate gift list? If you were to write a list of 5 things that would be on the list of perfect presents for your next birthday what would they be? Would it be a particular thing or anything from a particular store/shop? An
experience or something with pretty bows? Practical or whimsical?

I’m going to be heaps practical about this. Not cause my birthday is any time soon, but because CHRISTMAS is just a few short months away. My FAVOURITE time of year!!

1. Spotlight voucher. Yes! fabric, craft supplies, scarpbooking, knitting… it’s all there! A few hundred dollars would be perfect…

2. Embroidery threads. I know that sounds kinda boring, but didn’t you hear?! Embroidery is my new thing!! I need to stock up on some more colours…

3. Walls. Okay, so this one isn’t so practical, but I have heaps of stuff I want to put on the walls, and just no wall space really left! (P.S my newest thing I’m doing is framing small embroiderries and putting them up on the wall!

4. Photos Printed… you know I love scrapbooking? And I’m working on my travel scrapbook from Jan/Feb at the moment, but I have HUNDREDS of photos that I need printed from post-schoolies week (2004) to well, now. The earlier part of my life is already scrapbooked. So if all those could just get printed out for me, that’d be great!!

5.  Suprise me! As much as I love getting what I want, I really, truly, madly, deeply (Oh GOD, Savage Garden moment…*shakes head in shame*) love SUPRISES!!! They’re my favourite, and really make an gift giving time special!!

Sick Puppy…

Poor Pepper is sick today. She threw up all over our bed last night (we weren’t sleeping- it was just in the evening), and in the night she threw up twice. She was very quite this morning, and I just tried to give her lots of fluids…
Is it weird that this actually makes me want to have children MORE? I just love looking after her. She’ll forever be my baby.

Quite Pepper...

Because of that (and because we’ve been putting together all our new furniture and cleaning up  the various areas of the house) I haven’t had a chance to edit any photos to show you, or to blog about the quilt show I went to on Saturday or ANYTHING!! Here’s a slideshow of the Quilt Show. If you’re viewing this in a reader, then you might need to click on the actual post link so that you can view the slideshow.

Also, have you had a look at my new blog, Cooking For Two? If not, I’d really appreciate you having a look and leaving me some feedback!
