Wedding Question...

Hello!
Im not sure if anyone actually still reads my blog, but its not going to hurt to post this question up (just incase) anyways...
Can anyone reccommend a good hair dresser and also a make up artist (that does nice, natural style make up) in the Upper Blue Mountains??
I'm getting married up there later in the year and I will need to get my hair and makeup done, so need to find someone.
Thanks!

nappy cake!

I had a Nappy Cake order!! I was asked to make a 2 teir cake for a girl!
This is what I made.....

I sold it for $80! I was so happy to make some money! And it was great fun to "bake" haha!

Yesterday we went shopping in Chatswood and I lost my wallet. I was so upset as I now had to cancel all my cards, I have to figure out what was IN my wallet, get a new licence etc, etc, etc. But I also had the money I made from my nappy cake in there. It sounds a bit stupid, but this past year, I havent made my own money as I'm a stay at home mum. This was the first time i'd made a bit of cash. I was so upset to have lost it.

Other than losing my wallet, everything is great!! We now have a full on walking toddler on our hands who is pretty much on one sleep a day now! She is just so much fun! I love spending my days with her!

'family day'

Wednesdays are Matt's day off so we call it "family day"! We usually try and do something exciting most weeks. Usually we just go down to Manly Beach, go for a walk or to the Mall. A few weeks ago we went to the Zoo which was fun! Today we had a lovely day and took lots of photos so I thought i'd share some here seeing as I haven't blogged in AGES and also I couldn't decide what photo to post on my photo a day so I thought i'd add more here!

Libby slept in till 8am this morning (her usual wake up time is 7:30am) So we figured she wasn't going to be keen on going back to bed at 9:30am. So off we went to North Head up from Manly. We had a little walk around and enjoyed the view and looked at all the Aussie Native Plants (at least i think they are native - haha)....
We then jumped in the car to go home. Pretty much as soon as we started driving Libby fell asleep. As we started getting close to home we decided to keep on driving seeing as Liberty was still fast asleep. So we drove up to Palm Beach and got a few snacks from the deli and jumped on a ferry over to The Basin! I'd never been there. Its such a pretty place. We saw plenty of Rock Wallabies (+ a joey in its mum's pouch), Crabs, Ducks and Birds! It was great! We were all loving it - Libby especially!!!
Okay, here's our trip in photos.....

After our fun ferry ride we were greeted by some cute wallabies! look at its joey!!!!Libby loved the wallabies and kept pointing at them throughout our time there!
Then we had lunch.... And went exploring and then walked along the beach! Libby loved playing in the sand and found it especially fun to slam her whole face into the sand and eat it!! Ahhh, the things you do when your 11 months old - haha!

We saw some crabs! In fact, I heard them before I saw them! I felt like I was in some kind of science fiction movie.....
"Hands Up" who's had a fun day......!!
It was a great day! Im sure we will all sleep well tonight!!!

Bec and Kato's Wedding 6.3.09

Bec and Kato had a beautiful wedding!! They got married at North Head Manly, it had an incredible view, such a gorgeous venue. They were so lucky with the weather too, and everything looked perfect even when Bec walked down the isle... it was scattered in rose petals that lead her to where she would get married to Kato.. the petals were scattered into the shape of a heart around them.
The reception was at the Skiff Club in Manly. The food was great with lots of it, and the chocolate cakes were beautiful, and I was lucky enough to get a gluten free version!!! Very exciting! They had a DJ and someone playing the saxaphone. What a great wedding for a fantastic couple!!!
Congrats Bec and Kato!
Here are some piccies of the special day... I went along to the hotel to watch Bec and her sister (the bridesmaid) get ready for the wedding, so we went to the roof top pool and took a few photos! Bec was so relaxed, she even joked about falling in the pool!! haha!

p.s. Thanks Siany for lending me your beautiful dress!!!
