OH WELL!! I JUST HAD TO DO ANOTHER POST PRE CHRISTMAS!!

I KNOW I SAID I WASNT GOING TO DO ANYMORE POSTS..BUT I THINK SOME THINGS IN LIFE ARE KIND OF ADDICTIVE..AND EBAY & BLOGGING ARE TWO OF MY ADDICTIONS..!!
ANOTHER OF COURSE IS MY 3 X TIMES A WEEK ONE HOUR TENNIS WORKOUTS..BUT I STILL HAVENT BEEN ABLE TO PLAY FOR ABOUT THE LAST 5-6 WEEKS WITH MY PERSISTENT TENNIS ELBOW..SLOWLY GETTING BETTER..

I HAVE JUST BEEN SO BUSY WITH MY EBAY SELLING..I FEEL LIKE I KIND OF SHOULD SET UP CAMP AT THE POST OFFICE!! HOWEVER I AM NOT COMPLAINING..THAT IS WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT AND I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THINKING OF WHAT NEW & BETTER THINGS I CAN SELL NEXT YEAR..

I AM A TOTAL MAGAZINE "ADDICT"...AND BUY PRACTICALLY EVERY HOME/HOUSE DECOR MAGAZINE AVAILABLE!! I ALSO AM QUITE PARTIAL TO A GOOD COOK BOOK AS WELL....AND I THOUGHT I WOULD JUST SHARE WITH YOU TWO (2) LOVELY MAGS I BOUGHT YESTERDAY...

FIRSTLY IS THE WONDERFUL "AUSTRALIAN WOMENS WEEKLY EASY CUPCAKES BY COLOUR" COOK BOOK...I AM JUST TOTALLY IN AWE AT THE BEAUTY OF THE STYLIST'S CREATIVITY RE THE PICTURES/STYLING...

THE IMAGINATION WHICH HAS GONE INTO THE DISPLAY ITEMS HIGHLIGHTING THE CUPCAKES IS REALLY BEAUTIFUL...IMAGINATIVE..AND I ACTUALLY LOVE THAT MORE SO THAN THE CUPCAKES THEMSELVES!!
THIS IS A FANTASTIC AUSSIE BOOK FOR JUST $12.95...AND WELL WORTH A LOOK..

THE SECOND MAG I PURCHASED YESTERDAY...WAS THE JANUARY ISSUE OF AUSTRALIAN "NOTEBOOK"...

I LOVE THE COVER IN PARTICULAR...BEAUTIFUL CATH KIDSTON TYPE MATERIAL/GOODS ON THE COVER...
WITH GORGEOUS ARTICLES AND PHOTOGRAPHS ON CREATING A NICE HOME..ETC ETC..

IT ALSO HAD A WONDERFUL ARTICLE ON THE ICONS OF THE "BEAUTY" INDUSTRY..FROM COCO CHANEL..HELENA RUBENSTEIN..ELIZABETH ARDEN..ESTEE LAUDER...
WHAT WONDERFUL/IMAGINATIVE/CREATIVE WOMEN THEY WERE..ESPECIALLY FOR THEIR TIME..AND WITH WOMEN NOT BEING AS WELL "RECOGNISED" (IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN)..BACK IN THE EARLY 1900'S....VERY INTERESTING AND QUITE INSPIRING READING..

OKAY..JUST THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE THESE LITTLE BITS WITH YOU ALL..
AGAIN THANKS TO EVERY ONE OF YOU LOVELY LADIES FOR PUTTING UP WITH MY LIMITED BLOGGING ABILITY!! (PS..I MAY ACTUALLY HAVE A WRONG PHOTO TO START WITH IN THIS BLOG..AS I GET CONFUSED RE THE PICTURES UNLESS I HAVE LISTED SOMETHING ON EBAY...A LONG STORY!!)...

I HAVE JUST LOOKED AT MY BLOG..AND SORRY I HAVE INCLUDED SOME PHOTOS SEVERAL TIMES...OOOPS!! I DONT KNOW HOW TO DELETE THEM..SO SORRY ABOUT THAT..SO JUST ENJOY THEM TWICE!!

HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A LOVELY CHRISTMAS...(I AM HAVING ABOUT 10 FOR XMAS EVE DINNER)..SO GETTING READY FOR ALL THAT STARTING TOMORROW...OF COURSE AFTER I HAVE HAD MY HAIR DONE!! WELL I HAVE TO LOOK GOOD FOR MY TRIP TO JAPAN!

AND SHALL BE PACKING AND CLEANING THE HOUSE CHRISTMAS DAY..AND THEN OFF ON BOXING DAY..

SO I SHALL GET MY SON TO HELP ME LIST SOME BLOGS FROM JAPAN...SHOULD BE VERY INTERESTING...I JUST CANNOT WAIT TO GET TO SEE A CATH KIDSTON STORE IN SITUE!!!!

SO KEEP LOOKING...YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU MAY SEE!!
