7 things

7 random things from the week:

1. Weddings are awesome fun. Mates, jamming, drinking, laughing and a sweet-ton of love in the air.
2. Trying to maintain normal blogging routines whilst galavanting around the country is pretty difficult.
3. Galavanting around the country with a special somebody is well worth interrupted blog routines :)
4. Mosquitos. They must all die.
5. Handy hint to check all your camera batteries before heading off on big events. (fail)
6. I got a new bigger monitor for my laptop (thanks dad) with fancy double screen-action going on. 
7. Also, I packed myself into a suitcase today.
   

DIY holder

This DIY holder is so simple and easy to make, that it's almost a cheat me posting it. I needed somewhere to store my postcards, polaroids and other small pieces of card. What you'll need/what I used, is

• a small empty box
• scissors
• paper
• glue
• pen 
• a cover image 
• and tape.

Look at me pretending to be left-handed, so that I can take pictures with my strong-arm. haha.
Don't worry about drawing a perfect line for cutting - luckily I was able to use the actual box lines as a guide for cutting.


You can use any colour paper to cover your box, I just chose white. You can also use whatever images you want to cover it, I found an old art book lying around- so I cut up an image of Tete de Femme -  Picasso to cover it with.

I then added some bright tape strips and taped the whole thing with clear thick tape to seal it - you could also use contact paper... et voila!

trapped

i have quite an interesting little story on the blog today but -

yeah, my dad and I like to do a bit of light "home-remodeling"

what a guy.

so there I was, on the table, standing over my computer trying 

to drink a glass of wine, held by my dad, which is stuck through the window.

no. i have no words

the dad fished around the kitchen for a straw and then i sipped the wine through the window, whilst standing on the table, with my face smashed against the ceiling, straddling my computer.
