the etsy shop!!
Guess what Mum and I've been busy..busy...busy this weekend.
I've been busy drawing and making cards, and making brooches and necklaces. Mum's been busy photographing and setting up the etsy shop.
There are different coloured cards, and each one is different because I'm hand-drawing them. The photos aren't fabulous because it was dark and cold outside!!

I'm on Mum's computer so I don't have my signature so,

Grandad's 75th
Last Saturday, after a lot of planning we had my Grandad's 75th birthday. I think the whole family was surprised when he said that he wanted us to throw a party for him. So there we where, at Grandad's local bowling club at 3:00 to cook and set up.
There was a bit of running around, arranging tables, setting up the tables and putting up streamers.
It was a bit rushed but in the end it looked really good and nice and colourful!
All of the family came, mostly from interstate, who are from my mum's side of the family. As well as some of Grandad's friends. I got to chat to some of them (I don't know them very well the last time I saw them I was probably 10), but I spent most of the time in the kitchen.
I have great friends, Bianca, Enola and Nadine (and Rachel) who helped out washing up the dishes, and waitressing. (The caterer we had booked basically got sacked!) And it also helped us to raise money for World Challenge.
Grandad had a bowls cake, and yes that is supposed to represent Grandad, but by the time we got him on the cake he was looking a bit too relaxed.
Happy Birthday Grandad, I hope you had a great time.

Cooking
Last week, Rachel and I decided to do some cooking. We rang up one of my friends Bianca and asked her if she wanted to help. We decided to make some macaroons, well Rachel and Bianca did, I decided it was best if I didn't because I had a cold.
The photo's are not the best, it was pretty late in the afternoon when we finished, so the light wasn't that good. They were really tasty, and even better the next day, but they didn't last very long.

Books : Unearthly
I used to hate the idea of Paranormal books, but all the teenage books seem to be paranormal, so I decided that if I wanted to read anything I was going to have to give it a go, and I'm glad I did!

(FYI. The cover for Unearthly and Hallowed are different in Australia, I think that they look better, but I thought I should use these ones!)
I really enjoyed Unearthly. I found it suspenseful, and had often left you hanging, not being able to wait to turn the page and find out what was next. I'm finding this hard because I've read the following book and I know what happens (Oh...it's a series) and I can't believe what happens.I better stop because I'm not very good with secrets and I'll probably spill and tell you what happens (in both books)
Bye....

"Clara Gardner
has recently learned that she's part angel. Having angel blood run
through her veins not only makes her smarter, stronger, and faster than
humans (a word, she realizes, that no longer applies to her), but it
means she has a purpose, something she was put on this earth to do. Figuring out what that is, though, isn't easy.
Her visions of a raging forest fire and an alluring stranger lead her to
a new school in a new town. When she meets Christian, who turns out to
be the boy of her dreams (literally), everything seems to fall into
place—and out of place at the same time. Because there's another guy,
Tucker, who appeals to Clara's less angelic side.
As Clara tries to find her way in a world she no longer understands, she
encounters unseen dangers and choices she never thought she'd have to
make—between honesty and deceit, love and duty, good and evil. When the
fire from her vision finally ignites, will Clara be ready to face her
destiny?"
