etsy purchase.....

I am loving the Aussie Dollar at the moment! A few purchases may have been made over the last few hours, sssshhhh! Don't tell my husband!

As you know I am a fan of Stephanie Fizer's work and have quite a few of her stationery items. As you can understand when I saw her Christmas Postcard designs I just had to get me some....

Bet you are all trying to work out how to get on my Christmas Card List now!!!

After another full on week with a number of minor breakdowns from the pregnant craftee mumma, I was totally delighted that my wonderful sister took Nate off my hands for a few hours yesterday so that I could get my house in order and have a bit of recharge time.

See what all the other lovelies are grateful for over here.

Won't be long til these gorgeous specimens will be available to fill vases all around my house..... Peonies, I love them, have to be my all time favourite, pity they are only available for such a short time......

so much cuteness.....

Is this not the cutest cake you have ever seen??

I came across it whilst looking for ideas for Nate's Birthday Cake. Still not sure what to make to match our Toy Story themed party. Happy to say that I have bought everything I need for his party today on a random Spotlight trip. All I need is my goodies from Ciao Bambino to arrive and I am set!

a confession.......

Hi, my name is Tamara and I am a GLEEK! and to say that I wasn't peeing my pants with excitement that it is coming back to my TV screen tonight would be a fib!

Happy, Happy Wednesday!

american crafts love.....

I would have to say that by far my favourite scrapbooking company is American Crafts. Their new line City Park has definetely not disappointed, here are a few sneaks....










Can't wait to receive my big box of goodies!

at my house.....

At my house today we are huddled up inside hiding from the miserable rain outside. We have been so spoilt with fabulous weather for the past week or so that my little one is not happy about not being able to visit the park or be outside on his bike!

At my house today reality has hit and I am now in panic mode about the dwindling time left between now and when Baby Ryder #2 is due to arrive. So many things to fit in before he/she arrives! Eeek!

At my house today I am wondering when is the right time to introduce the Big Boy Bed for Nate. We have just managed to get him sleeping through the night and I don't know if I am ready for a new phase....

At my house today I already have dinner ready! Such an achievement for me!

At my house today Nate has decided to have a sleep, so while he is in sleepy land I am wasting time blogging, what else would one do!

To see what else is happening at other lovely people's places check out Lou's here, that is where I am off to now with a hot cuppa!

treasury time....

Sitting here today wondering where our gorgeous weather that we have been having of late has gone......

I have compiled an Etsy Treasury....

Rain, Rain Go Away can be seen here......

this saturday I am grateful for.......weekends

I just love Weekends.....

Even more so now than when I was working full time before I had our little Nate.

I love waking up knowing that I don't have anything that I have to do.

I love waking up knowing that husband is home for two days!

I love waking up not knowing what we are going to do to fill our days.

I love waking up knowing that Husband gets to see all the little things that Nate does during the day that he normally misses out on.

I love waking up knowing that I can go back to bed in the afternoon for a nanna nap!

I love waking up knowing that I can just potter around!

I am eternally grateful for Weekends, all 48 hours of them!

Check out what everyone else is grateful for over here.

Happy Monday!

week-a-boo.....

It was a very quiet and relaxing weekend on the homefront for us, we were blessed with amazing weather after a day of rain on Friday.....

Saturday we headed to the Farmers Market at New Farm Park, a spot of furniture shopping and we finished the day with a visit to feed the ducks and to take Nate on his first official bike ride, Buzz Lightyear helmet and all!!




Today we pottered around the house, repotted some herbs that have been neglected for way too long and am surprised that they have hung on, a trip to Bunnings (seems to be the thing to do on Sunday's), a nap this afternoon and a roast dinner!

Oh and in between there was a bit of creating, not much, but a bit!

Check out what the other lovelies have been up to here.....

etsy treasury......

Thank you to Shannon from ChickadeeLane who has included my Flower Punchies - Lemonade Mix in a treasury called Spots & Dots! You can see it here.

Happy Sunday!

ahhh the memories......

Hard to believe but this time four years ago, Husband and I were on a jet plane on our way to the USA for our honeymoon! Just been flicking through the pics, thought I would share some.....

Disneyland - I could have spent two weeks here and not been bored. Rumour has it that I may have cried on the last day when we had to leave....

Disney Castle at night......

Husband and I with Winnie! We lined up for ages to have this photo taken....

Melrose Place - the street sign anyway!

Hello Hollywood!

Tijuana - took a bit of convincing but Husband got me there....

Pina Colada's and Mexican for lunch.....

I think this is the only photo of the two of us together, both looking very bleary eyed and tired!

Hello Las Vegas!

Our hotel by day.....

Our hotel at night....

The strip with New York! New York! in the background!

Ok so there are quite a few pics there, I could go on but I don't want to put you to sleep! Will definetely be heading back there when the Nate (and Baby Ryder #2) are old enough! Such an amazing place, loved every second......

Hope you are having a lovely weekend.
