I love handmade...BUT...

Hideeho everyone, so you all know that I love handmade things. I love browsing the net, etsy, madeit etc, for all the loveliness that is out there. BUT...

I am probably going to starts some controversy here, but what is with "Tampon Craft"????

I personally do not get it..and think it is soooo wrong in so many ways. Maybe I am a prude, maybe I am something else but..yuk! There is a whole website dedicated to this. I mean you know that is great that you can be creative and have a fabulous outlet, but me personally I would rather burn these things than say..hang them on my ears like this... (actual description with this craft)

Bloody Tampon Heart Earrings
Wear your heart…on your ears. These tampon heart earrings display both your romantic sentiments and your menstrual pride.

I dont know what you all think but I am not feeling the love for this craft..what do you all think??
(Please note, before some people get their knickers in a knot, I do advocate each to their own, I am not saying everyone should hate this or be against it, I am just saying that personally this does nothing for me!)

In love with...

Sending all my love...

As most of you already know Australia is going through its worst disaster in our nations history.

Victorian bushfires have now taken the lives of up to 180 men, women and children in what can best be described as mass murder. The Victorian bushfires were lit by some horrible insignificent animal..an arsonist and the desctruction it has left in Victoria will never be recctified. Whole towns wiped out, whole families killed. The horror and devastation is too much to even comprehend. And it is still being fought. More than 4000 firefighters, including hundreds from interstate, still have their hands full with 23 fires out of control and 10 others contained but still burning strongly within control lines.

Please send all your love and prayers to these people, their families and loved ones. And pray they catch the "bastards" who did this.

All my love

Love Love Love these, love the whole idea of them..it is just so awesome.
