Life in the Slow Lane... so much better

there is something wonderful about a meandering road trip... a great reminder to breathe too

Longing to BE STUPID

Time for a Fresh Coat

How completely fabulous is this concept packaging by Samy Halim! Pantone Paint is actually available... just not in Adelaide... (or Australia - that I've been able to find so far). I came across this here when searching for fresh paint inspiration as we still have a lot of painting to go and now that the weather is decidedly nicer and the paint will dry far more quickly, we'll hopefully be getting on with a bit of freshening up the place... whoo hoo, but for the time being loving all these perfect colours!

time out...

Christmas craziness is in full swing, so this is the picture I have on my desktop to remind me to take it easy... this was taken on when H & I visited Venice on our honeymoon last October, it was such a lovely relaxing day, *sigh*

As Strong As Dan - what a man!

Dan you will be missed.

You kept my husband smiling at work every day, your strength, humour and tenacity were always nothing short of inspiring.

"end scene" is hardest to accept when you expect the story to continue, but I'm grateful I had even the smallest role in the production that was your life.

I hope, that like you, I can make sure that when my final scene closes my story has been epic in the best way...

most appropriate for today

well it made me laugh any way ;p

Having Cake and Eating It Too

I'm extremely tired and unmotivated today... so for a bit of a cheer up I hit up What Katie Ate for some delicious and inspiring food and photography love... two things my Uncle was awesome at - cooking and taking photos - so I thought this a great place to start to help me pick a recipe for lunch with my Aunty next Tuesday... for now I'm lusting after this delicious chocolate cake - Y U M! you can get the recipe here
