Pretty Christmas Tree

I bought this pretty tree pop-up card from uponafold.com.au. It was a bit more fiddly to put together than I thought it would be and I know it isn't quite right. Still looks gorgeous though.

I made gift cards!

Well I've made one! The rest will look somewhat similar.

Christmas is coming!

My favourite thing about Christmas? Wrapping presents!!







This is what my presents will look like this year! :)

Nemo

Picked up my new car on Wednesday. I know most of you will have already seen pictures, but just in case you haven't here it is.

It's a Mazda 3 Neo. His name is Nemo. It was the first name that came to mind. I'm not very creative.

I'm loving it. I mean who wouldn't love a car that does leak and has a working petrol gauge.

The Un-Superhero...

Went to a party last night for a friend of Andy's. Got to dress up. The theme was Un-Superhero. Andy went along as Captain Cardboard and I was his trusty sidekick, Plastic Fantastic. Together we were the Recyclables!

Around the house...

Andy and I spent the weekend beautifying (or should I say - Ikea-fying) our apartment. We both love the area we live in, I've been here for 4 years now. What we don't like is the size of our apartment. For the minuscule amount of rent we're fortunate enough to pay, we put up with the size. I don't have any before shots. Those of you that have been to my apartment will hopefully see the improvements.

I HATE the kitchen in this place. It is soooooo small. And the floor is falling apart. It used to have a fold down table (basically where the wire shelving is). On the weekend we came up with the awesome idea of taking off the table (which we can put back when we move out) and rearranging. We've now got a lot more space in the kitchen; floor, storage and bench space, thanks to our new Ikea trolley.

We also did a bit of a makeover on Andy's computer area. We bought a new desk. It used to be piled high with boxes too. So much nicer.

The rest of the place we spruced up a while back, but I'll show it off anyway. Excuse the vacuum cleaner and the washing, LOL. You slide open the middle doors for the TV.

Next on the agenda will be the bedroom. I would love a new bed!

You're it!

This is my first ever tag! Exciting!! The beautiful Kat tagged me. I'm supposed to tag 7 other people, but I don't know 7 other people to tag! LOL


1. What is the last book you read, did you like it?
Hrm, last book I read. To be honest I don't read a whole lot. Not as much as I should. The last book that I "read" was an audio book (does that count?) and it was 'Tomorrow, When the War Began' by John Marsden. 

2. Do you have any travels planned in the near future, where to?
I would love to go travelling again. Not sure when and where it will happen though. I'm going to buy a car (next week hopefully) so maybe a road trip is in order.

3. Do you prefer tea or coffee?
Peppermint tea from T2. Only tea I drink. The smell of coffee makes me want to spew

4. Where were you born?
At the Box Hill Hospital in Melbourne.

5. What is your favourite work of art?
I'm so naive when it comes to art. I don't really have a favourite. 


6. What is your favourite breakfast food?
Scrambled eggs and bacon on toast from Krakatoa in South Yarra. Mmmmmmm!

7. What is the last picture you saved/uploaded to your computer?
The last photo is of some of my class so I won't show you that one. Instead I'll show you the last picture I printed off (to go on my wish list).

That was fun! Anyone that wants to do the same questions that I did can go ahead and tag themselves!
