The Easter long weekend is this weekend and traditionally it's a weekend for road tripping for families. Whether it's to see family and friends or to go camping as a tight-knit group, there are thousands of Aussies packing up their cars, stocking up on snacks and getting ready to head to their next destination. Because of this I thought it would be fun to give you just one idea … [Read more...]

Mini Makeover: Make Your Own Polka Dot Travel Tin
One of the things I like so much about adventures, both close to home and far away, are the little things we collect along the way. They may not be fancy or expensive.

Mini Makeover: Make Your Own Map Notebook
Hand writing things might be going out of fashion in some parts but I still find that it's the best way for me to get my ideas out of my head and make sense of them, so I love a good notebook or two.

Mini Makeover: Make Your Own Pineapple Style Jars
I'm not really one to follow trends, usually by the time I a) realise that something is a trend and b) decide that I like it, it's already past and no-one is selling it anymore. haha! But pineapples are something that I have loved since I was a little girl. It started around 1992 when my uncle told someone that he liked them and then it seemed to become a family mission to … [Read more...]

Craft Room Organising Ideas
Our craft rooms/creative spaces can be some of the most difficult rooms of the house to keep neat and tidy. The nature of craft and creativity is that it gets a bit messy. But the key is having somewhere to keep the craft supplies before you use them and have somewhere you can put them away again. This might seem super easy, but as I think many of us have learnt the hard way … [Read more...]
