Last week I made a belt to go with my new shorts which I bought to wear on school camp. The design I used was simple but effective. I used a black spotted fabric from Spotlight.
This year I entered the Western Australian Inventor of the Year Schools Competition with Travel Magic. In 2007 I won my division and in 2006 I was runner up. Unfortunately this year I didn’t become a finalist. Travel Magic is a folder that stores all your travel essentials. It has loops inside for travel products such as tissues, antibacterial wipes, mints, first aid kit, pen, paper etc. It then zips up so nothing can fall out. It has a separate bag for your electrical plugs.
Last Tuesday I went on camp to Point Walter. I did flying fox, high ropes – and climbed to the top, archery, rafting and other fun things. The funniest thing that happened was at the concert on the last night. My teachers and parents helpers crossed dressed. The men had wigs and make up, and the women had side burns and leather jackets!
We have received a couple of awards this week. Firstly Laura from “A World in a Pan” awarded me the “I love Your Blog Award”. Laura lives in Paris and has lots of amazing recipes on her blog – you should go and check it out! Suzanne from Create Fun and Mess also gave us this award this week. Suzanne’s blog has lots of great scrap booking projects and wonderful photography. She is a fellow West Aussie so go and say hello.
This is our 74th post and we have decided to have a give away on our next post – so check back in a few days!!

great little travel bag, you are a smart little cupcake! – Glad you enjoyed camp – I loved them too when I was at school.
Travel magic looks very pretty indeed – it looks like a ‘must have’ for every traveler! Do you really travel with all those handy goodies? You must be the most useful person to have on any trip!
You sugar kids are super clever!!
Wow! Your travel magis is super!
I think your travel magic is a great idea. School camp sound fun i loved going away when I was at school.
Am I too late to enter – would love to win the passport protector
Your travel magic bag is a great idea! Sorry to hear it didn’t get you into the finals.
That travel kit is such a great idea! We’re going to be moving overseas and this would be a great way to a) make sure I have everything and b) not lose it all as we go! I know they have commercial ones kinda like this, but they never have the pockets you need for your own stuff, and they are also so, well, boring! But this is really cute. I’m headed to the stash as we speak…
