Monday Giveaway!

Happy Long Weekend to everyone celebrating!


We had a wonderful day yesterday, we drove down to Bowral for a lovely lunch with friends. We were a little nervous about 11 little children in an art gallery cafe but our children survived without annoying too many other patrons and all the mummies and daddies had a lovely time as well.


This is where we went:

Now since we are chatting about art galleries I think it is fitting to ...

announce another gorgeous giveaway!

I am very pleased to announce that the very stylish Viv from Ish & Chi has generously donated this stunning artwork from her beautiful etsy store:

Viv, like Heather from last weeks gorgeous Monday giveaway is another supermum. She creates really beautiful things. This butterfly artwork was made with Amy Butler Lotus Wall Flower fabric in Cherry. To win, all you need to do is check out her blog and her etsy store and let me know what tickles your fancy, maybe a great post on her blog or something pretty in her store. Easy!

Since the Tinker did such a lovely little job last week picking the winner from her hat, I think we will do it that way on Friday unless anyone suggests another fun way for her to announce the winner.

Oh and don't worry, winning does not mean you need to donate something special for a giveaway. I don't want anyone thinking they need to raid their husband's good tie drawer or anything. It was purely a coincidence that Viv won last week!

Fast Friday Funny - Don't touch the hair!

TGIF and not just any Friday. For us it is a long weekend. We are heading down to Bowral for the Cool Flavours weekend for a catch up with some great girlfriends of mine. It will be f-f-freezing down there so I'll enjoy rugging the little Tinker up in her winter woollies and hiding my not-yummy mummy body under a million layers. Have I mentioned how much I love the cold months?

Speaking of wintry weather, does anyone else hate it when they blow dry their hair on a windy day and the breeze blows the hair into your lipgloss which then gets smeared across your face? Pet hate of mine. Right after trying to eat noodles with my hair out. I always end up with soup in my hair.... well well well do not fear dear readers. The good folk in Japan at the crazy invention factory have the latter problem all sorted.

Here it is people, the gadget that protects your great blow dry from your hot soup, what more could you want?

Tinker and I are about to draw the winner of the giveaway now so stay tuned to see if you have won! Oh and it looks like we will have another fabulous giveaway next week as well so be sure to check back here for details. Is anyone else up to something special this weekend? Or maybe something not so special that you want to rant about?
