Ooh nice. For those in the US - you could use a freight forwarder. I'm in Australia and not much gets sent down here. Have used freight forwarders with much success from both the States to here and also from the UK. Am I allowed to put a name I've used? Www.borderlinx.com.

Hey, 'Ashley from The Broken Word ' thanks for that link - what great sites!. I just did the hugest declutter in my home office - a whole filing cabinet of paper was reviewed - realised didn't need more than half of it so it was shredded and what was left was scanned on my little kaiser-bas. The two drawer filing cabinet now holds office supplies, and only 5 manila folders of paperwork. Losing the paper felt so good!

We had the same kind of hoopla over here in Australia with Stella McCartney for Target (same name, same logo, but different Target company I think). Loads of people lining up early, grabbing everything, flogging it on ebay... A few weeks after it all went on sale, I went in and there was a clearance rack up the back of the clothes section with some of the stuff. Poorly made, weirdly fitting. Not at all worth the hype.. Saying that though, I'd love one of the missoni towels! Missoni for Target: The Aftermath Plus Product Reviews! Flag this comment	9/29/11 6:20 AM

I was witness to a prep kid knocking out a toddler yesterday afternoon with their backpack!. It was exactly like above, totally unaware of the size of their backpack, and thwack - a quick spin around and the littlest one was on the ground in tears!. These are the standard size school issue backpacks - they are huge! - and none with wheeled options. I'm in Australia, and they have school backpacks as part of the uniform. 3 Reasons To Buy A Smaller Backpack Flag this comment	8/16/11 10:10 PM
My daughter received this for her birthday - it is exactly like whats in a diaper/nappy. Its got the gross factor for kids, but its not actually that much fun to have a bath in. The kids said 'this is actually pretty gross, I don't think we'll do this again'! I think its better in a tub for hands to squish in rather than your whole body in it. And yeah, at 12 bucks a pop its pricey. There's another sachet of something that comes with it that you're supposed to sprinkle on it to dissolve it when you're finished - but we just used a hand shower to flush it down the plug. Its not too bad to clean up, just leaves the crystals everywhere, and a few goes to actually get them all down the plughole.

How very sweet! I built (with the help of my dad!) a frame around some peg board and installed it on the inside of my daughters wardrobe doors. It's been great for hanging up hair ribbons and hats and bags - all sorts of girly paraphernalia! It keeps it organised and out of site - but looks great when she opens the doors.

I love the hall cupboard/light box, and the rest of the house. I also love a house tour with captions with the pictures - its so much nicer to read about the room as you are actually looking at it (And Blandwagon when I had my baby I had a double bed in hospital - so my husband could stay with me - I'm in Australia!)

I was wondering - why don't you have a doona cover (duvet - I'm from Australia). I've seen a few house tours that don't have doona covers - is that an American thing? THanks! (Love your place by the way!) Matt and Lena's Cabinet of Curiosities Green Tour Flag this comment	10/4/10 11:30 PM
I do get what the poster is trying to stay - in that loads of the party pictures going around the internet seem to have the following; labelled water bottles cupcake labels *a dessert table where everything is colour co-ordinated They do look beautiful though, and I think having great photos for your kids to look back on is an awesome thing - and I'm sure the kids wouldn't mind if they weren't there. But as a mum I love to do it - its my present to my child. I think the problem would be if the child was demanding all this colour-coordinated stuff that it was going too far. But kids just want a cake, candles and friends over to run amok. All the rest is for the grown ups. How Far Do You Go For A Fabulous Birthday Party Or Shower? Flag this comment	9/27/10 10:33 PM
They do have an oilcloth like fabric. Its come in dots - I got red with white dots, and its also in light blue, yellow and black - all with dots. Its like a plastic coated tablecloth type fabric and is quite wide. I used it to cover a door to make a desk top (with the ikea legs). I'm in Australia, but would assume it would be in Ikea stores everywhere - we seem to get new stuff last...

lupinelle, I painted a piece of furniture turquoise, loved it - everyone else in the house hated it - got passed back to my mum and my dad spent ages stripping it back to its original wood... don't they get it?

Cute Idea - I have done this with some of my Little Girls cutest artworks - but I've left them on the embroidery hoop and hang them like this - but a cushion is a sweet idea too. I think stitching would be easier. I just copied the drawing onto the fabric with a thin pen and then embroidered over it. (Maybe I think that cos I don't actually have any fabric paint!)

I love these guys. My hubby taught me to drive many, many years ago so I got him the hook turn poster as a pressie - and a reminder of all that stress that he went through back then!

I Love the ideas on your link Jackie 99 - they look fabulous - thank you for sharing. The ledges you've used look way better than the Ikea ones I was looking at. Are they moulding - or what are they made from? Cheers 19 Ways To Store & Display Your Vacation Photos Flag this comment	8/2/10 3:48 AM
