OUTTIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
grab a cuppa, sit yourself down and please enjoy my news!
I handed in my resignation at work today
and in my flat because- I'm moving!
not just down the road or to a different suburb, oh nooooo I'm seriously packing my crap and shifting to a different Island, the South Island and I'm going to be an import Coaster!!!!!!!
I've spent the last 3 days doing interviews for two places that i would like to work, and yesterday as I was getting on the bus back to Christchurch to catch a plane home, I was given the happy happy news that I'm in with a company that I want to work for, I am so blimmin lucky to find not only an agency that does the same as where I'm at now, but they do it in a similar manner to what I'm used to and what I believe is a great philosophy to find employment for people with experience of mental illness.
I am STOKED!
Luckily I have an Uncle who has been in the freight industry for ever and he is willing to come and help me out with moving advice (and god I need it!) I dont plan on taking much/any furniture but my scrap stuff is of the utmost importance seeing as the winters are long and pretty dreary down south, and I want to be prepared! (and to be honest, it's not like I will be able to pop up the road to get anything I might need!)
A suggestion i have had is to have a blog garage sale, and i think that could be a good way to go, once i sort out what im taking and what im not! or more to the point, find out just how much its going to cost me to move everything, and go from there!
But YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEE for me!

I never had a barbie cake (i dont think!) so Eve whipped this one up for me, and it was lovely - tasted good too! Barbie's hat lost a bitesworth on the way to the restaurant- oops.
Birthday and Flowers :D
two of my favourite things! my birthday AND flowers! all on the same day! likely i received the flowers because of my birthday, but what a happy coincidence anyway!!

Cupcake has landed!
I was so pleased to finish it (finally) that i popped it in its special box ready for posting before i realised that i hadnt taken any photos, so voila!
I got the recipe from Ingvild Bolme who is on the Prima DT team, finding the actual instruction post is a little hard, its from October 2009 - so go to archives and then find it from there - enjoy!

slow for the start of the year!
I am still in the process of making a cupcake card- ill give all the details WHEN i finish it.. could be 2011 at this rate.
But had some sad news with a friend having a miscarriage 14 weeks in, quite miserable really but i made a card for her and her hubby, hard thing to do too!
Thanks to Nic who gave me the saying inside which i think hits the right note
"even the smallest of feet have the power to leave everlasting footprints upon this world"

New Years Eve (Phat 10)
Right these are rather amusing, Phat is an event that happens every year for new years eve, its in the middle of nowhere (Inangahua, West Coast to be precise) and its just a big rural area where everyone camps for up to 4 nights and they have continuous live music (Drum n Bass) playing up on some higher terraces.
Theres no alcohol or glass to be taken into the site, you can purchase it at the main stages but thats it, but every year its a bit of a fun thing to see how much booze you can sneak in just for the sake of sneaking it in! Jayme and I decided late in the day to go to the thing so we didnt have much time to organise anything, so he cleverly popped a couple of panels off and put some beer in, and then when looking through the photos again i had to laugh at the pics of him putting it in, and the next pic is security searching the car.
The weather on the first night was a bit icky, was raining during the night and honestly, was awesome seeing everyone dancing in gumboots and raincoats - no fashion statements here!
This is the aftermath of New Years eve, I didnt take the camera at night because it was packed and im a useless photographer anyway, but was still great fun!
Shantytown Pics
Shantytown is an old gold rush town that has been recreated for the tourist masses on the west coast, all old buildings and panning for gold and all that stuff. It was drizzling when i went so didnt take too many pics but some nice ones anyway:
Garden stuff
Im back from my holiday, and feeling it! i am full of enthusiasm for the new year and its my birthday soon!!!!!!!!!!
I have a few pictures so ill do a couple of separate posts so you might actually understand them all!
First up is "my" garden, as you likely know, i live in an apartment with no growing room, and we have a section at work that has always been a kind of garden, so with another workmate we took it upon ourselves to grow stuff and these pics were taken just before Christmas yeah a bit higgledy piggeldy but you get the gist and the snowpeas were beautiful!
