Are you feeling the love?

So today is Valentines Day!

Have you received anything yet??

Well I sit on the fence with this day - I don't dislike it BUT I do have issues with people thinking that they have to buy their loved one a gift and spending too much money!

Husband will come home today with flowers & I will make him a card - and that's about it.

People say "its so commercialised" and I tend to agree - it appears that the "American" factor does play a part in people thinking that they have to do some over the top declaration of their love on this day WHEN if fact you should do it every day.

So today - do what you feel YOU need to do - if its nothing, fine, if you want to spend a gazillion amount of money on 2 red roses, fine but remember that having someone to love and to love you back today is the greatest gift you can get!

New obsession

is looking like Coffee Sacks!

I love a local coffee shops Skinny Latte's and have been known to drive into town just to grab one and come back - its about a 40km round trip but so worth it......hang on - sidetracked.....

Yes - coffee sacks - so when I was getting a coffee on Saturday morning I was that the owner was selling her emptied coffee sacks for $5 each and I grabbed a handful.

Whilst I still have no idea what on earth I am going to create with them, Pinterest is filled with great ideas and I can see atm three old chairs that are in desperate need for an Annie makeover and probably going to be meeting a coffee sack soon.

So these are some of the chair idea's that have sparkled the arts n crafts bug in me & I'm headed to making some vintaged styled delights ......

Its all style baby......

Country Style that is.

Gosh I love this magazine - here are a few of my fav images from this months edition - hopefully they will move you into a happy and restful weekend.

Enjoy!

Finding it impossible to ..........

sit still and let myself heal.

Last Friday I had an operation in Canberra and have been finding it difficult to remember how to sit, sleep and rest so I could be in the Post Office today.

My operation was a success but has now led me to have another soon - it's a private matter, and I am ok, but the reason for my post is for me to sort through the anxiety of knowing how to relax & who on earth can sit and watch the crap that is on TV during the day - UGH!!!!

I'm someone that needs to keep busy - a tiny bit OCD - a real clean freak & this week I have found that dear Husband has the skills needed to keep our little house and post office running smoothly.........

I'd like to send out a big shout out to him - you did well deary - very proud of you :)

Camping - I survived........

just!!

So it rained a bit on the coast but overall the first camp in the tent was pretty good.

We had a great spot - near the camp kitchem but a tad too far from the amenities block for those midnight toot runs and our neighbours (mostly from Victoria) were friendly and mostly quiet!!

The 3 Jack Russells had a ball - played at the beach, enjoyed their walks and seemed to get along well together in the small confines of the Tent Hilton.

On reflection I have said to Dear Husband that we need to buy a proper camping kitchen to store food and electronics to keep little ants at bay!!

So will I camp again - I expect so - as long as I have a flat camp site, access to hot and cold water and a flushing toot - you might see me at a camp ground near you soon!!

Pinterest

Before I disappear on my Australia Day camping trip - I thought I'd share with you one of my boards off Pinterest.

Slightly addicted to this site - gathering beautiful images and sticking them on my boards - I've found that I certainly have eclectic taste, its appears that vintage, flirty with a dash of modern industrial are the things that I love most.

Check out my boards here and let me know what you think

Australia Day & we are going.....

Camping!!

I hate camping BUT this year I decided to take one for the team and suggested to dear Husband that we go to Eden and stay in our tent.

Now our tent is pretty good - two big rooms, you can stand up and has been referred to as the Tent Hilton!!

Last year we spent a few days in the tent Glamping not Camping - iPod Dock, Queen Size innerspring mattress, electricty, hot & cold running water - BUT not this time - we will have a powered site but tonight I am going to attempt to sleep on an air bed!!

This could all go pear shaped very quickly but I'm going to give it my best shot.

The list is getting drawn up today at work so we dont leave anything behind, most importantly packing the three Jack Russell's things seems to be taking priority and there will most certainly be no room in the Subaru XV for any of my essentials, eg hair dryer, hair straightener - you know - girlie things.

I'll let you all know how it pans out!!

O yeah - and everyone - ENJOY AUSTRALIA DAY!! Oi Oi Oi!!

Just a few more.......
