On The Second Day of Christmas

Further to yesterday's post, my strange bent on the 12 days of Christmas, here is the 2nd thing I am thankful for.

2009 gave me the chance to become closer to some great friends, started by sharing New Years Eve with them and finishing with celebrating New Years Eve this year too.

P & J, I have really appreciated the time we have spent together this year, the 4 of us always have a blast and your cooking P is to die for - glad we are going to get fit together in 2010 - then I can eat more of the cherry tart and not worry about my expanding waistline - LOL.

Finding time to spend with friends is always uplifting and well worth the effort in our busy lives.

10 days and counting....

~ Recycled Christmas Cards ~

I am doing my big for the environment this year and recycling my old Christmas cards.

I pulled out all the cards I have received over the past few years that I have been saving (mainly to remember who sends them to me!!).

I then chopped them in half so that I was just left with the pretty picture on the front.

The back half went in the recycling bin.

And the front half has now been turned into a tag to attach to a present.


I might even stick some of the pretty pictures on some plain card stock and turn them into folded cards. The possibilities are endless and great for the environment.

I love a handbag - my husband believes I am obsessed - it is not shoes for me but bags.

When we recently moved it was boxes of bags we found that I had stored for a few years - I am not a hoarder but for some reason I keep my bags!

I even love nappy bags but at times get a little frustrated that once you put a few nappies, wipes and a change of clothes in there is no room for anything else.

My latest love is this ... my melobaby.



It is a small and compact wallet that fits all the essentials - nappies, disposal bags, wipes, change of clothes and it has a built in change mat. I can throw it in to any bag or even take it by itself and I am set! I can choose if I want to take one of my groovy nappy bags or just a normal handbag - how exciting to have choices again.
