Axis of Awesome - 4 Chord Song

a generous stranger

A person that i do not know that well was kind enough to nominate me for the Ballarat Council city of Ballarat youth awards. It was a surprise to be nominated and i was very happy.we went to the awards on Friday evening and it turns out i had won :) i was given a trophy like plak, it's very cool looking and it's a great motivator when things don't seem to be going the way they should. I was also given a check by center care. now the nerd i am i brought some SG1 DVD's with the money, it's very exciting i love stargate :D

Its spring or so they tell us and what better way to celebrate then a new veggie garden!
we have had a few in the pat but they were at the back of the yard and tended to get forgotten and overun by weeds. so this time i decided to make a garden box and have it visible, hopefully this will encourage this patch to actually survive!
The box is made from two cut up wooden pallets from the side of the road.


The dogs were a little too interested in the new dirt so some of the little ones are covered up untill they decide the patch is boring, or so i hope!

Hello this week helloowl set the topic of A day in your life. so this was my Monday. Hope yours was more exciting.
Vacumed, our carpet is one of those horible ones that never seem to stop shedding fibers.
Dad's washing

Two weeks ago we had five birds, then last week three, I went out to feed the birds and now we are down to one. No i am not negligent the frost gets the poor little things by surprise. they lasted the winter to die in spring :(. I'm a little worried about the look of the last one he is SOOOO FAT!! i think he may have eaten a bit of a dead one before i realized they died :S
Lunch, i kept forgetting to snap a pic until after i had eaten, oh well.

Went to Andrews house to get advice on a current project. Sometimes you need a mum's advice:) thanks Cristine. Then Home to bed

I know the only one who looks at my blog is my sister but oh well...... LOOOOOK i have a new niece Rachael Ava W.

They are not the best picture the lighting was dull and i was to excited to stay still long enough!

I am the first to admit that swimming is just not my style. However I don't object to having lovely swim wear. I particularly like Vintage styles. These are some interesting ones out at the moment. For Luna Swimwear. Personally i am more fond of the earlier styles but these are very cute!

A zombie ate my cupcake!

This little book is a ripper! The title alone drew me in, A Zombie ate my cupcake,it just sounds marvelous from the beginning. The book tells you how to create edible masterpieces of gore. Now as in most cook books there are a few recipes that you would need an art degree to pull off bet surprisingly %90 are actually doable. Thank you Lily Vanilli here is her blog page

I only got the book yesterday afternoon, but a guy in my class had his Birthday today so it was a good opportunity to try one. I attempted Rainbow Cupcakes.
Now don't be fooled making these made a lot more dishes then the run of the mill cupcakes. at least five bowls, a mix master and over trays. But all up It was totally worth it. word to the wise you can't use normal food dye you need the gel stuff that you can get at cake stores. Yes you actually do because I decided to test this theory and I used normal food dye for the red section...... exactly there is no red :( it ended up a light pink brown shade, not very bright or stunning.I had some gels already from my birthday cake.

The colors were not as vibrant as the book but the food dye was in softish tones.
