I Love This Idea!

This is super dooper cute!
I'd love to do this for a baby shower or wedding.

Strawberry plants as take home gifts!

You could do it with ANY plant.
I think I would choose either a hardy flower or some herbs!
Hmmm... maybe I could give them out at my House Warming...?
Time to eat some tinned foods!

Day 5: Someone You Would Switch Lives With for a Day and Why

A boy.
Just to see what it's like for the other half!

Day 4: What Was the Last Thing You Cooked or Baked That is Not in Your Usual Repertoire

Last weekend I made a delectable apple pie for the first time!

I was so impressed with it that for the first time when making something new, I didn't take a photo! We just ate it immediately.

I even cut out pastry leaves and put them on top! It was scrummy!

Might just have to make another so I can take photos! 

This weekend I will be attempting to make Easter eggs!

I bought some moulds and today I bought all different types of chocolate so I can experiment!

Excited! Will be sure to post photos of the end product.

Day 3: Best Ever Dessert

Crepes.
And I have nothing more to say on that matter.

Day 2: Your 2 Favourite Songs & Why You Like Them

I don't know how anyone can cut down the number of their favourite songs to just two. But alas...

Number One:

Angels Son by Sevendust.

I love this song for so many reasons. It's a beautiful song in itself but it means so much to me. 

It reminds me of high school when I fist heard it. It reminds me of the fun we had in my friends lounge room with the entire album that this song is on, up so loud.

It also reminds me of the devastating pain we went through when we lost our little girl, as we played it at her memorial.

Beautiful song, amazing band. 

Number Two:
Ocean by John Butler.
A beautiful instrumental piece.
As John Butler says himself, it's his 'conversational piece.'
There seems to be so much emotion in this song (and every other one he's written). Somehow, even with no lyrics, it seems like you can relate to this song.

Day 1: Write About Your Best Friend

I have a lot of close friends who I love with my whole, entire heart but there is one who is Numero Uno.

That person, I'm proud to say, is the one and only: Miss Kiera Jean Nelson.

A few reasons why she is my best:

She is smart, beautiful, kind, honest, funny and all-round lovely.

We've been friends for coming up on seven years now and we've been there for each other through some horribly hard times and some amazingly wonderful times.

We've been away on holidays together. She even stayed at my place in Ireland.

We have lovely dates (although too few for my liking).

We share the same taste in many things, seafood is not one of those things.

We both love the Cat Empire. And about a million other bands.

We both love looking at other peoples wedding photos and talking about what ours will be like.

We both love shopping.

We both prefer to be barefoot but neither of us like it when we're at Peats Ridge Festival and realise that from the way it smells, that's probably not mud.

We both adore cute (and ugly for that matter) babies.

We both love a bit of crap tv, especially reality tv - even more so if we can email about it at work the next day. Better yet, text during the show.

We both like flowy skirts. And flowers. And kittens.

We both enjoy dancing to good music, whether in a live venue in the city, at a huge festival or in the middle of the bush.

I really could go on and on, but she knows everything that makes our friendship what it is.

Thanks fave, for being you.

You're truly the best one I have.

My Version of the Challenge

I'm going to do it. 
I'm going to jump on the 30 Days Challenge bandwagon, starting this Friday, 1st April 2011.

I found a list that I liked some of, but I wanted to change a few of them so that you didn't have to read about "things I look for in a guy/girl" and "your ideal date" and others of that nature... Actually, I've pretty much just rewritten the whole thing...

So, here is my list:
Day 1: Write about your best friend
Day 2: Your 2 favorite songs and why you like them
Day 3: Best ever dessert
Day 4: What was the last thing you cooked or baked that is not in your usual repertoire
Day 5: Someone you would switch lives with for a day and why
Day 6: A picture that makes you happy
Day 7: Something you plan to do this month that you've never done before
Day 8: Describe your perfect weekend
Day 9: A picture (and accompanying story) of you, when you were little
Day 10: A recipe
Day 11: Write a letter to anyone you like
Day 12: What era do you belong in?
Day 13: A picture of what you wore today
Day 14: The best picture of you and your friends
Day 15: Favourite place:
-in your house

-in your country
-in your world
Day 16: The last picture you sent as a text message & accompanying story
Day 17: The best things about your life right now
Day 18: Write a poem 
Day 19: A video you enjoy
Day 20: What did you eat today?
Day 21: A picture of what you wore today, take 2
Day 22: Something you know to be true
Day 23: Places you went today
Day 24: When you step outside the front door of your house, what do you see?
Day 25: Why did the chicken cross the road?
Day 26: Your favorite quote
Day 27: Something that inspires you
Day 28: Write a letter to an inanimate object
Day 29: What colour are you today?
