I have been extremely lucky with blog giveaways lately and have won an extremely beautiful pack from the gorgeous and lovely Liesa at Handmade Heaven and a very supercute Bugga Bugs giveaway hosted by the very, very talented Alicia at The Red Deer , so a very BIG thank you ladies! If you haven't visited them yet, why don't you pop by for a visit and enjoy their fabulous blogs! So to give back to the good Karma giveaway fund, I visited a cake decorating store for some inspiration...and I came out with a box full of cupcake papers, that's about 600 or more. I think I was in that shop for a good 45 minutes, I am not joking, it's like a kid in a candy store...or a fabric store for my lovely sew crafty blog friends :) Now all you have to do is leave a comment, nothing much, just a hello or share a joke. I'll leave it open till midnight Saturday the 31st of October and also the end of Blogtoberfest and draw a winner from a hat or bowl or bag and announce it on Sunday...

There has been alot going on in the m.e family but I am still camera challenged so for the first time in many years I feel unable to express myself.   Unable to document moments in our family's life that are firsts and some that just need to be filed away and remembered. kinder friends and their Diwali henna tattoos The kids went on their first ever camel ride the other day at the Whittlesea show and I couldn't photograph it, I baked a cake and wanted to share it with you but I couldn't. So while I await for my cameras return I have been using Amelie's camera and funnily enough...I have absolutely no idea how the functions work so things may still be a little quiet around here. As for today, I tried so hard to control the tears as another first came around, Amelie's prep orientation. After a little bit of hesitant start she was happy and excited and I even got a d...
