Bring on Spring!

I know I know winter has barely even started over here but I'm missing nice, warm weather already. Shorts and skirts usually look more flattering than pants, don't you think? Well,  do. And I am missing my denim cut-offs terribly. But, I've gotta say, I love wearing my skinny-leg jeans with Cons. A match made in heaven. ;)


Alright, well this weekend (so far!) has been awesome. I've had family over and seeing everybody again has been awesome. Pity they're all leaving tomorrow. :(
It has been absolutely lovely seeing you all again and if any of you somehow stumble across this blog, let me know coz I'd be really interested to know how you did!!


I baked chocolate cake with Meg (my aunty) today and it was so cool. It was just from a packet, and we've still gotta put frosting on, but it was made with love. ♥ But, ours is gonna be extra special---here's the trick. You buy one block of either white or milk chocolate (I find milk works better) and melt it all, and then use spoons and draw pictures with it onto baking paper (we also used some cookie cutters, which worked a treat!) and then put it in the fridge, and when they're dried stick them in the cake!! Even if you just dribble it everywhere, it works out great when it's dried out!!


A big thank you to Bonnee, Chanelle, Janaya and Sera, who are the most recent people who commented on my blog. I love reading what you have to say, so keep the comments coming! That's what I love about Blogger---it's like a virtual diary, but people get to comment, which definitely doesn't happen with real diaries! So a big thank you to you all, I'll always try to check out your blogs in return, if the computer isn't too slow. xxxxx


Well, I better go grab my essentials out of my room--tonight my other Aunty and her daughter are sleeping in my room and I'm gonna be on a stretcher in another room, so I better go grab my stuff quickly so they can have some privacy later. 


Cya!

  1. The only good thing about winter is that it's good cuddling weather. Though that kinda sucks if you don't have a cuddle buddy.

    Chocolate cake made with love and melted chocolate pictures is delicious :) Been there, done that. Must do it again some time. Om nom nom.

    But the cake is a lie.

    Yay, that was my name!!! :)

    Have an awesome day/night/whatever.

    1. I know, nothing can beat a good cuddle in front of a wood fire. it's always better in winter coz in summer you'd get all sweaty and yuck. :(

      I knowww that chocolate cake turned out delicious and the melted choc pics, OMG they were sooooo tasty!

      Hahahhaha YES that was your name!! I love reading your comments. Oh yeah, for your latest blog post about quotes, one of my faves (I have many!!!) is 'missing someone is your hearts way of reminding you that you love them'. since my family all just left I'm missing them heaps, but whenever I think of that quote I feel better.;)

      you have an awesome one too.

      ummmmm I'm not sure to be honest!! But I know for this week the lowest temperatures have been something like 1, 2 or 3 degrees. pretty cold for me but I'm tad of a wimp!! it must get much colder where you are!!

      I love Spring---after winter's finished it'll be spring next. I can't wait!!

      Have a great day.

    3. Hahahahahahahha yeah and we have snow here too, up on mountains. The closest mountain to my town is called Mt. Buller and the opening weekend was last weekend, so I'm sure it's been very busy up there!! I have been skiing there before but I'm not very good at it!
      And no, Australia isn't just hot and dry all the time. we get rain and bad weather too, just like everybody else. :)

    1. Hey Andrea!
      I know it is such a cool idea, isn't it? I would never have thought of it myself---luckily my aunt's so smart. :-)
      Have a lovely day.
