How was your weekend?
The Oh Creative Day family are recovering from a rather epic weekend.
The combination of a crazy heatwave plus a bout of gastro slayed us. Majorly.
On Friday night, we also held the official cast and crew screening of our short film.
This mamma is ex-haust-ed.
So, if anybody would like to come round and take over my kitchen, I’d like some of Bec’s Coconut Pancakes.
For dinner, I’ll have a Pear and Brie Brioche Burger.
Please and thank you.
This blog is pretty much brought to you by sleep deprivation and coffee.
And chocolate.
This Affogato Dessert Bar idea is totally my idea of heaven.
How is your Christmas present shopping going?
Tash is smashing it out of the ballpark with her Christmas Gift Guides for kids.
Each comprehensive guide is targeted at a particular age group.
I politely requested that she do a Gift Guide for 43-year-old brother-in-laws.
Sadly, Tash is only going up to the 10+ age group.
She directed me on to the Navy Crockett website. It’s a site filled with gifts for the hard-to-buy-for man.
The woman is a Gifting Genius.
I’ve been posting some crafty DIY Christmas present ideas.
Shibori tea towel for Nan? A play dough kit for the school friends?
And I’m also running a little competition to win a $50 voucher to spend on Christmas decorations.
Advent calendars. Yay or nay?
We do a picture book advent calendar in these parts.
Karin has you sorted with a fabulous free printable if you need to get your advent on.
I’m typing this on a Saturday night.
Once upon a time, I used to be cool and do cool stuff, like go out, on Saturday nights.
These days, I spend my Saturday nights on Facebook, messaging Justin Bieber videos back and forth to my bestie.
Skip to 8:47 to see Biebs sing Alanis Morisette.
Who even am I anymore?
How do you spend your Saturday nights? Are you a Belieber?
Have a super week xx
You are too kind Shannon – thank you! I’m loving Karin’s printables round-up – and to think I’ve been throwing empty toilet rolls away without even thinking of their craft potential! xx
Haha, you had me laughing out loud with this post!!! i can’t imagine having gastro post-sydney-heatwave. You poor things!!! Xx (By the way, it’s Jess here from booksyandnovella)
Hellloooo lovely Jess! It’s definitely one of those weeks where I remember how over-rated being a grown-up is (and how much I still rely on my mum in times of need!)
Ps. What’s your involvement in the Spaghetti film? How exciting!!!
My official title is Producer. (Much fancier-sounding than the actual tasks that I completed…)
Forget the shibori teatowel for Nan – I want one for myself!!! And that Tash is a genius!! And just quietly, I might be a little bit of a Belieber…..
It’s been quite difficult to give them away. I kind of want to keep them all for myself. Not in the spirit of the season at all! I need to Spotify the new Biebs album. People keep raving about it!!
OOo – I will have to Spotify it this weekend!!!
I am LOVING Tash’s gift guides, but mainly because I want all the gifts for myself! I watched the Spaghetti trailer and loved it – now you can add Producer to your many talents. You really are creative by name and creative by nature! Hope gastro has gone and that everyone is feeling tickety boo!
I’m a Belieber and there was no “skipping” when I viewed the clip.
