Have you had a good week? It's been simply glorious here in Brisbane these last few days. Today was particularly gorgeous reaching about 28°C (or 83°F) during the day with a sky that was as blue as the ocean!
Look at the view from my kitchen window today!
On days like this I am so grateful to be living in Australia. I'm also grateful that Spring break is only a few weeks away and there will be less of this....
And more of this!
If you are lucky enough to be going to the beach for the weekend
please think of me and make a wish on a starfish!
I have another busy weekend planned with Maddy's school's annual "Open Day" and then we will be having a birthday party for my nephew on Saturday evening. I will also be busy visiting lots of my bloggy friends who linked up to last week's Say G'day Party! I have tried to visit as many people as possible but unfortunately I can't leave a comment on everyone's post. I am definitely sharing as many posts as I can on Google+ as much as I can.
Here a some of my favourites from last week's party in no particular order:
Kathy from Life on Lakeshore Drive shared pictures of her latest project using Krylon's Blue Ocean Breeze.
Sherry from The Charm of Home created this gorgeous Cottage Style YouTube Clip featuring nautical accessories showing you how to bring the beach home in your house. Sherry will be starting to make a lot of these videos that are under two minutes. They will be made to watch on hand held devices while you're out and about. They have no commercials, no pages to turn, and a soundtrack. Sherry also hosts the wonderful Home Sweet Home linky party each Friday. If you would like to join in just click the button.
Linda from With a Blast shared a great tutorial post on Easy DIY Candles.
Finally, Jamie @ Love Bakes Good Cakes linked up a brilliant post on how to make this yummy Kit Kat cake!

ReplyDeleteI'm impressed with Sherry's series of videos. Love, love, love the nautical look!
Glad to hear you are enjoying such warm weather! No starfish here today, only stars in the clear skies at night! We are having gorgeous fall feeling weather here in the Northern U.S.A. Love Sherry's videos! I am hoping to join your Tuesday Tunes next week. Have a great weekend! ~Diane~
