In case you missed it - thursday marked the beginning of the advent calendar. It's not too late to start one if you haven't already. Just think, you could spend your sunday evening eating the chocolate you missed out on in the first few days! Here's some advent inspiration to ponder...

Site crush

Every day (practically) I find new sites and blogs that are interesting, but not quite share-worthy. Today is different. On my quest to find "something different" for those "difficult" rellies, I stumbled on this little gem... The name rings a bell but I've never been there before, and to say I was impressed is a grand understatement...

They have a fantastic range of personalised gifts and creative ideas. It's super easy to navigate and the categories are broken into every possible option known to man.

Hop on over and take a look. And if you want to buy anything for christmas gifts it isn't too late - they do ship to Australia and it will be here before the fat guy slips down the chimney.x

Run rabbit run

I found this image on Pinterest a few weeks ago. It's been sitting on my desktop waiting for me to find an excuse to blog about it and show it to you. Today, after staring at it again, it inspired me to go on an Etsy hunt for wabbits. Here are the sweetest bunnies of the Etsy bunch... in my opinion. x

Updates...

Just wanted to fill you in on a few things that have been happening...

1. It's our birthday!

Unbelievably it's been a year already since our shop-baby Noosh was born! It's gone incredibly quickly and we've had so much fun and learnt so much! To celebrate, we're giving away a set of Benny Knickerstickers with every order! Just hop over to the Noosh store and make your purchase and we'll send a set with your delivery! And, if you want to make sure you don't miss out on offers like these, sign up for our newsletter! It's packed with craft ideas, recipes and Nooshie-type news and offers....

2. I finally bought myself a diary for next year, and would you believe I didn't end up buying any of the ones I showed you? Typical. I was at the shopping centre and it was there and it all just seemed a bit easier and instantly gratifying than buying one online... I am very happy with my Kikki.K purchase though. The pink leather cover is super soft and pretty and it does have the crucial pocket in the back that I need. Hopefully that elastic will stand the test of time and last the full 12 months...

3. The super Eeni Meeni christmas stocking competition! I forgot to mention that this one is open to everyone everywhere! I'll be choosing 2 winning comments on December 2nd and so far the odds to win are pretty good so jump over here to leave a comment and you could find yourself with a lovely pressie in your postbox before christmas!

Homemade christmas gifts #6 & #7

Well we're down to 4 weeks to go till christmas as of today! And to make up for my complete and utter slackness last week in not posting project #6, this week you get #6 and #7. That'll keep you busy!

#6. Blackboard painted herb pots.

This project is a double whammy of sorts because it's two projects in one and the kids can do both of them with a little help from a grown up. It's a pretty straightforward masking tape and paint project but if you want the instructions hop over here. And when you're using potting soil around the kiddos make sure they wear gloves and don't inhale or eat any of the potting mix...

#7. Fridge magnets

So cute and really easy to make. Some flat bottomed glass craft beads, glue and maps is all you need! Imagine a set of them them wrapped in a lovely box filled with tissue paper... Hop over here for the tutorial.

J'adore

Nothing more to say...
