polka dot party inspiration.....

A certain Uber person is turning 30 in a couple of months and has decided that polka dots are the theme.

Here are some pics I found on the blog Just Call Me Martha, lots of loveliness can be found here!









Isn't it lovely! I just love a good party!!

Happy Friday!

So it has been a little while since I have shared some Etsy Favourites with you, but to be honest I haven't really been spending much time looking lately. Lucky I have Uber Claire (who too has been quiet lately) but she has managed to send me some of her favourites to include in my post today....

Enjoy....

Happy Friday!

oh happy day......

Two years ago today, we had the pleasure of celebrating the marriage of Uber Claire to the just as Uber Chris at the lovely Peppers Hidden Vale.

Happy Anniversary Guys!

nate's 1st year....

So I guess I am posting this looking for someone to tell me that I am not the only one....

Almost two years ago to the day I was shopping with Uber Claire whilst visiting Brisbane (we were living in Darwin at the time) and she bought me this book in anticipation of Baby Ryder's (as Nate was affectionately known for 9 months) arrival....



As you can see the book is in perfect condition. I can hear you all saying what a great job she has done keeping the book looking so nice, but here is the thing, I haven't done a thing with it. Not one entry, not one photo - NOTHING......



I figure seeing as though Baby Ryder #2 is on the way I should pull my finger out and get it done. I have everything I need to complete it - dates of first steps, words etc, photos, hospital id bracelets, the newspaper from the day he was born, a copy of his birth announcement, hair from his first haircut - EVERYTHING I need to complete this book is here safely tucked away in this box.



This is not the only project that I have to get finished, there is the album I am putting together with all the cards we received when the little fella was born, the time capsule I want to put together, the 1st Birthday Album......sigh!

All I am in need of is some time!

Please tell me that I am not the only one who took almost 18 months to complete these important piece of my Baby Boy's history........ANYONE???

new found blog love....

So stuck again for blogging inspiration (oh how I will have so much to talk about in a couple of weeks though!!) I consulted my super cool friend Claire, who I now think I will affectionately refer to as Uber Claire, for some ideas. Never one to disappoint she sent me the link to this amazing blog that just happens to be by a fellow Brisbanite!

Let me introduce to you The House that A-M Built - sigh......

Image from The House that A-M Built

Some amazing images of A-M's gorgeous home that her and her husband have built from the ground up can be found on this blog. Building this house would have required huge amounts of patience not to mention a whole lot of good taste! Wonder if I will have both of these attributes when it is my turn to build my dream home!!

You can also check out some gorgeous pictures of A-M's home in the June Edition of Australian Home Beautiful. I had to buy it and check it out!

Happy Weekend!
