Necessity is the Mother of invention :o).

Have you ever stood at the counter of a shop and hunted through your wallet for your "rewards card" ... you know, the card that they stamp ... then once you have the required amount of stamps you get a free coffee or doughnut etc. Well, I did that the other day and I decided I needed to keep them all in the one place. Now, you can see that in one of two ways ... I either shop too much, or I drink waaaaay too much coffee (and doughnuts). Okay ... I give in, it's definitely the latter LOL. I just LOVE my skinny latte' from Michel's Patisserie he he.
So ........... this is what I made to keep all my 'rewards' cards in ...... isn't it cute!!!??! ....... Open it up and here's all the cards - so much easier to find now. I've got my 'free coffee' cards all in the one pocket and the others are distributed among the rest of the little pockets!!

This little darling took me less than an hour to make ... and that was with designing it as well, so I reckon you could whip one up in much less time!!! If you're interested in making one ... let me know by leaving a comment ~ and if there's enough interest I might do a tutorial for it if you like :o).

I also went shopping last week for a new toy!!! Isn't she pretty!!! DH needed a little camera to take with him when he goes out on the motorbike ... just one that would fit in his pocket as his is one of those fancy shmancy ones with lots of buttons and stuff. Soooo, since he only wanted his as a 'second' camera we decided I should have the new one and he could have my old one .... which by the way is still very good :o).

Course ..... she had to have a new "coat" ..... didn't want to scratch the new screen he he he.....

Bear finished her art project this week and has handed it in for assessment - thought you might like a squizz ;o) ... do I sound like a proud Mum LOL??? She had to have an "Australian" theme and it had to be a bit abstract ... so she came up with this which I think is rather clever .... good old Hills hoist with the gorgeous sunset behind it. That little scroll has the words to "Among the Gumtrees" on it ;o)!!!!! You can't see it very well in this pic but she actually wove some wire through the canvas for the clotheslines ;o).

Speaking of "Hills Hoists" ... I'd better go and get my washing done too he he he.

Don't forget you still have time to enter my giveaway!!! Just leave a comment on the previous post to be in it and I'll be drawing the winners tomorrow night (Brissy time).
