lost my voice

with all the craziness that goes with teaching the graduating year group
i have lost my voice

i really really really pushed myself this time
and now my body is paying for it

it has been such a super duper crazy 2 weeks and it is seriously non stop
my body is so tired and exhausted - i guess something had to give

anyways, here is the graduation cupcake from the yr 6 2010 graduation dinner and dance party
our theme this year was winter wonderland and the parents did an AMAZING job
putting the party together

it's too cute to eat!

circa home candles

i really really really love my candles
but i don't just like any old candle
i'm quite fussy about the ones i buy

i love the ones that smell f beautiful fresh flowers
or a crisp fresh fruit in season
or a fresh light scent that reminds me of a glorious day at the beach or picnics in field of flowers

as a little reward to myself today
[i have been very good at sticking to a basic budget and got my cc under control]
i decided to buy myself a candle :D

i went into bed bath n table looking for a beach towel for a kk present
but found myself a gorgeous candle that reminds me of my bali holidays

Candle is made by Circa Home in Jasmine & Magnolia
$29.95
45 hrs burn time

I'm burning it now as i write this blog and it is just gorgeous!
The jasmine & magnolia combination is light and sweet,
and smells like a tree full of frangipani flowers from bali

There were other fragrances ... but this was my favourite by far :)

bye bye puppies..

the puppies are finally gone and we're back to 3 adult bassets
no more puppies
not for a reeeeeeeeeeeaaaal loooong time

it's sad but it's also a relief
having puppies is like having young children/babies in the house
they're A LOT of work
but very very adorable and fun

so its back to loooong walk to piney lakes
walks around the block
doggy showers
and lazy sleepy logs that look like bassets

procrastinating

i have school reports to do

but i am getting easily distracted by the billion and one pretty things to see on the internet

oh lord help me...

really need to finish these d*** reports... GRRR

ps: went to a quiz night on saturday - was AWESOME fun
the competitive geek in me loves quizzes
unfortunately our table didnt win anything [just not geeky enuff!]
but the organisers raised lots of money for a very good cause

PRADA

Prada is opening in Perth!

The Perth Prada store located on the corner of Hay St and King St is due to open on the 6 January 2011

Very exciting times indeed for the Perth fashion pack

Can't wait to check out the store, I've always had a soft spot for Prada,
especially their durable and practical nylon and canvas bags :)
