She has grown so much in such a short time….7wks, 4 kgs….12wks, 10.5 kgs…and doubled in height. Bear is such a pleasure to own, she is very intelligent and learns quickly, loves water and her toys….we love her.
Love this sign…..might try to make one for the house.

Today I popped in to my local op shop…can’t help myself !! it like I have these feelings , today you have to go here and I usually walk out with something special.
6 nice heavy tall glasses…$1.oo each
18 Johnson & Johnson white plates…$7.00
Ryan asked me to keep an eye out for some fames to put some of his photography in…so I found these 6 gold frames for $24.00, in perfect condition, we will paint them this week end white….Awesome score !
I got this brand new scrapbooking trolley for only $3.00….I paid for it real quick and got out of there fast with a huge grin on my face.
At my work we have been renovating, and they were going to throw out this huge cork board which used to be behind our counter which no longer exists, so my brain started to think really quickly what could I do with that, such a shame to throw it out….so I loaded it in the car took it home and Ashleigh helped me recover it with this gorgeous aqua and red and pink roses fabric and hey presto I have myself a full length family vision board for free !!!!!….now we just have to find things that we love to put on it, which shouldn’t be to hard…..love it !
Of course Brianna just had to add a picture of Justin Bieber, I did say she could put what she wanted on there ..ha ha ha
Some pages I have done recently……trying to get into the scrapbook mood.
Ashleigh ha been very busy Mod Podging reindeers with fabric….plus about 30 christmas baubles….she has been very busy.
This cute little fellow was made for me by a great friend Chris, she used to work with me a Spotlight, she is a awesome lady…I just have to dig out my old teapot and keep my tea all cosy…I love a fresh pot of tea….I had a Aqua and green one made for Ashleigh, she loves it.
Well I think I’m all blogged out for now so I will be back soon.

Last Sunday we got a new puppy, she is a German Shepherd , 7 weeks old and beautiful….She has bought alot of happiness and laughter to our family.
We couldn’t resist this face, she is a very smart little dog and learning very fast…Her name is “ Bear”…..we love her.
I love Sunday's , they are a day to do nothing if you want. A day to sleep in, take it easy have a couple of bourbons and have a roast for dinner. A day to potter around the garden, swim in the pool and spend time with the kids….that’s why I Love Sunday’s….these are some of my tomatoes I picked today.
Some op shop finds
I love this old glass cake stand and set of scales.
I have changed my style alot over the last few years…I used to be right into the real country decorating, everything had to be a cow or chicken or pig, and the only fabric I bought was country colours, no floral or light coloured fabric…..I wanted to change styles with out spending to much money , it took me a couple of years to completely give the country things away or sell them, I just wanted to hang on just in case I changed my mind. So now I love everything white and vintage shabby chic….I love it, I was able to use the furniture I had and slowly one at a time I painted each one when I was game enough to. Its not easy when you spend lots of time stripping paint off furniture to then go and repaint it again years later. But they look so good and fresh and I ‘am really enjoying the transformation. I didn’t realise how much of my stuff was already suitable for this look.
I painted this little cupboard on the week end, looks nothing like what it was.
I ‘am just loving painting and my look…..It’s a little bit addictive.

Ashleigh made a delicious Lasagne and a Black cherry cheesecake, so Brianna decided that she was going to attempt a Oreo cheesecake…and they both did an excellent job !!!!! love love love !!! I love it when my girls cook.
Also I have a surprise to share ….Look at my new baby !!!!
I love my new Land cruiser Sahara …It is the nicest car I have ever owned, When we went to pick i t up they had put it in the show room and put a big bow around it, Ty said it was my 11th wedding anniversary present. What an awesome moment

I ‘am so in love with the weather at the moment…The sky is the most beautiful colour blue ,A gentle breeze and lovely temperature. This is why we live in Cairns !!
It has been a while since I have blogged and lots has happened…firstly Ashleigh had her Birthday and turned 20…She made this cake for a good friend of ours….awesome effort, She was practising for her own cake but didn’t end up making one.
I was also inspired by a good friend of mine who just paints her rooms different colours all the time so i decided that it was spring time and why not do something really the opposite to what I would normally do…..so…..ta da
My bedroom has had a make over….paint is called Young Leaf….never thought I would, took me a while to get used to it, but now I love it.
Also this is my what I wore Friday……..
I love Jacqui clothes….
Bye Tan xo
