I hope you all had a lovely weekend! We had nice one and managed to get a few things done! We spent Saturday morning digging (actually I think it was more afternoon by the time we got started). We have all agreed that digging is the worst renovation job. See the eight metres long path we dug out. We dug 50mm off the top in order to lay pavers and along the right side we dug the trench for the drain! It took us (all three of us) many hours and it really doesn't look like we did much!
However when we went to the rubbish tip and got weighed the truck came in at 3.4 tonnes.
I also managed to do some baking on Sunday, that was much more pleasant, especially eating the finished product.
Now what you have all been waiting for ; ) ............I am so excited to have my very first giveaway in order to celebrate my 100th post (that I actually haven't posted yet!).
I hope you like what I have to offer.
The lucky winner will receive some wall decals.....
Similar to the ones I have used here.....
and 2 really lovely sheets of paper,
that measure approx 76cm x 53cm
that I bought from this lovely store in the Southern Highlands
See, here I am choosing the paper
I will also include a pack of six (blank inside) cards with envelopes featuring original photos from the Southern Highlands. I am sorry I don't have a photo of them but they are fabulous!How to enter:

All that digging, and so little to see for it is frustrating isn't it - and yet when you look in the truck you can see how much you actually did achieve. The baking looked like a sweet reward and I love your old blackboard. Enjoy your week. Amanda
