Today I did loads of washing, the sun was nice and strong so I took advantage and hung everything out to dry.
I can see thunder clouds looming in the distance so hope everything dries before rain comes.
I took the boys for haircuts, stopped at the fruit grocer and got some more supplies as I promised my niece I would bake and decorate her birthday cake! I think Im going to keep it simple but I have a pink and white colour scheme in mind. I love how Tessa Kiros decorated this cake! gorgeous!
Speaking of gorgeous, look what came in the mail from Karianne!
This is for the Happy swap that was organised by Karen. The deal was to buy something that makes you happy and to meet a new blogging friend!
Thats what swaps are all about!
