Point + Shoot 06.12.2009

I'm new to this whole blogging thing so I thought it would be fun to join in FatMumSlim's Point+Shoot challenge.



It was a glorious summer's day yesterday - sunny and blue down at the beach, but not too hot to take a stroll. My parents were visiting for the weekend so we took them along the Bondi to Bronte walk for the first time. Here's Bondi glistening in the sun (with a little editing done at picnik.com ) ...

Christmas is on its way

Are you feeling festive? Walking around the city there's already a few Christmas trees and the department store Christmas shops have been up and running for a while. I love this time of year, it makes me tingle with anticipation and excitement.

To me Christmas means going home to spend a few weeks with family, lots of meals with family and friends, a few parties; it's the most relaxing time of the year.

So I started my Christmas shopping a few weeks ago when I happened upon a few gifts for girlfriends and something fab for my Mum! I'm not normally this organised, but the right things happened to be in front of me so I snapped them up, including this sweet little photo clutch from Sportsgirl, which I saw last year but sold out before I got any! So this year I bought a few as soon as I spotted them!

My one strict rule about Christmas (to moderate my excitement, and to not let the consumer aspects outweigh the religious origins): no decorations in the house before December!

Have you started your Christmas shopping? Are your decorations up? I'd love to hear! xxx

Yikes! I've created a blog!

Ok, so I've created a blog now, but that seems like it was the easy part! Will anyone want to read my blog? Will I actually have anything to say? What can I write about that will interest people?

So, it seems like I have quite a bit to figure out, including what this page looks like. Over the next few days I'll try and upload some pictures to make it a bit prettier.

I'll also share with you about people who have inspired me to try blogging, whose pages I visit everyday for inspiration, pretty pictures, and sometimes a good laugh!

Signing off,

Susie :)
