half a cup of tea, anyone?

Ah, January...early morning swims before work, prawns dipped in aoili for dinner, renewed creative energies and slowly getting 'back into the swing of things'. Forgive me for getting very lax on the 'daily' part of this blog. The posts will be coming in thick and fast very soon, just winding back up like a little cuckoo clock. Some exciting news- Xanthe is off to Paris next week indefinitely so we'll be getting a good regular taste of our fave city!

Secondly...today's little find. It seems someone out there is able to produce something beautiful and intricate using a scalpel and paper without hurting themselves...i still have a lovely scar on my right thigh from trying to build a paper model on my bed in the first year of uni ten years ago, so, suffice to say, I am in awe of halfacupoftea's creations. Just don't attempt to do this at home!

Not since my ex accidentally gave a christmas card to our friends at their wedding have I laughed to heartily at the inappropriate well, maybe when my friend Serena walked into a telegraph pole... or when she tripped over a blind man's stick. Ok, so i think that I have made my point, I have a fairly black sense of humour all round. Now, with Chinny chin chin's fantastic Cheapskate Cards I can subject my humour on all my nearest and dearest. I really warm to their tag line "When love is too strong a word, show them how you really care with these not-so-gushing greeting cards." This great design team also create other fabulous things like the pre doodled note book, littered with doodles from some amazing artists, incase you think your own doodles aren't up to scratch and it comes complete with a coffee cup stain on the cover. I am now Chinny chin chin's greatest fan and am stocking up for christmas right now! Click here to do the same.
