2 More Days...

 I'm gonna miss this boy so much!!  He's checking my tyres cuz I ran into a GIANT pothole which buckled my mags :( 


2 more days in Australia and too much to do.  I have to clean the house and have all of Husbands work clothes clean and ironed ready for him as well as fill the pantry with snacks for while I'm overseas, he can eat dinner at his Mummy's every night.  I will have to post pics if I actually get anything cleaned.  Loads and loads of Laundry because I've been sick for a while

Husband and I went shopping today to get a new printer, it's amazing and can print from my ipad.  Very exciting.  We stopped and had lunch at Hog's Breath where I had my favorite salad, chicken & ranch... yummy.

New Stuff -

it's so pretty

I have wanted a Bamboo Shower caddy for a while now but haven't found them for under $100 until today... on sale for $39.95!!!  LOVE IT

Old Shower Caddy

 

I ordered this Monogram necklace about 2 months ago and it finally arrived, just in time so I can wear it in America.  It's my brand new initials...

I'm a total bargain shopper and found these awesome Sally Hansen Salon Effects at the Chemist for only $5.  Pretty sure they're usually about $15.  I usually just wear one of these on my ring finger as an accent nail but occasionally do my entire hand.  They last a surprisingly long time for me and I find that they don't break as easily. 

Random picture here but Husband had a Mother drink today and I was completely amazed by the opening.  You can close it back up so you can chuck it in your bag, I think.  These would be so good on Coke and Pepsi.

Nappy Cake

Hi,

I'm posting this for my friend so she knows how to make a Nappy Cake.  This is a great idea for a baby shower gift.  I've made a few but this one was my latest and I just can not find the final photo of it because I added lots more stuff after this pic was taken
Needed -
Small Rubber Bands
Large Rubber Bands
Box of Nappies
Ribbon
Extra items I used - Ralph Lauren Polo, Spoon, Crocs, Dummys, Face washers, Disposable Nappy bags, Baby powder, Baby oil, cotton buds etc.  Basically anything you want you can put in.

I have no idea how many nappies I used but it was a just a normal packet, maybe 35-40ish?  You have to roll each nappy up and secure with a rubber band.  There's lots of tutorials on youtube on how to do this.  I then made a circle with them and with the large rubberbands secured the base.  For the base I also added a blanket and folded it up and it fit perfectly around, I secured the blanket with a tag gun.  For the next level I took out a few nappies and replaced with rolled up face washers.  Once this layer was done I just kept sliding the extra gifts into this level and then hid the bands with pretty ribbon.  Next for the top level I only ended up using one nappy and attached it to the little croc shoes.  You can sit it all on a cake board or put something through the middle so all levels are secure but I never do that.  I just carry it and it never falls.  Decorate with little trinkets found at junk stores in the baby shower section.  I did this but never took the photo with all the decorations.
