Make your own scratch cards!

I dont often read Dainty Squid but boy am I glad I came across this lovely DIY!!

How fun is that?! Who knew it was so simple?

I am definitely giving this a go! I am also thinking that I could use this to make my baby shower invitations just little bit more interesting!! Who knows ....

Baby Shower: Cake plates?

So I have been thinking about the baby shower that I might have dependent on the weather and family etc. I kind of like the idea of all the women in my life getting together and celebrating my first child! At first I struggled with the idea of being the centre of attention because I am not big on fuss. But then I thought its an excuse to get things done in the garden by setting a date, I quite fancy inviting the men along and having them on the xbox or doing the manly thing!

So what a good little idea these things are!! I think when I am next off shopping in the charity shops I will be seeking different sized pretty plates. It would be lovely to give these as a gift because the metal bits are the expensive bit, the plates I can imagine being relatively cheap really. I think it would be a nice momento of the shower? But then people may not be bakers and I think having a few options might be the best idea!

ebay even have a multi buy deal

Ambition

I have wanted to make my own lip balm for absolutley ages, I have been collecting all the bits and pieces for ages now and don't seem to ever find time. 

I am determined that I will do it before I go back to work!

This lip balm recipe looks simple enough, I hope to give this a go and then let you know how I get on!

Some Christmas ideas ...

So I obviously can't be saying what I am doing for each person until Christmas has passed.

But a little peak I have found this little project list, a few of these have definitely tickled my fancy......
