Remember before I went on holiday, I had made these passport holders from my stash of things, so they cost me nothing - I just wanted to say that they held together perfectly and were a delight to use. A win for DIY.
Another aside from my holiday..I am fond of reading magazines on the plane, but that can get to be expensive. I try to pick up reasonably new copies in our op shops before I travel, which is also more enviro friendly.
I had a laugh when I opened one to find that someone had commented in pen a few times throughout the magazine - funny/ witty comments. I only saved one to post.
Don't be afraid to do this if you are passing a magazine on - it had me chuckling away.
Also, if you go to Dubai - a magazine will cost you an arm and a leg (I walked away without buying). A common Australian Woman's Weekly was $30NZ, and all others were even more!
Have a look at this newly-out cookbook, Simplicious Flow by Sarah Wilson, of I Quit Sugar fame.
I was impressed to see that she's dealing with the subject of food waste - giving recipes that use up all of the ingredients, plus addressing the use of plastic wrap and plastic waste. I've never seen that in a cookbook before - it's definitely different.
There are of course some great healthy recipes in there too that I'm looking forward to trying.
Oh, and look what else is in there...exciting!
Yes, that's a mention of my little blog with my adapted recipe for Miracle Pan Grease.
You just never know what's going to happen next in this life.
What a hoot, scribbling in magazines, I'm going to magazine bomb a few magazines in the waiting area where I work and see what happens! LOL
ReplyDeleteHey you getting into a cookbook! That makes you famous in my books ;)

PS having trouble on all blogs commenting from my computer, some blogs allow me to comment as Anon...very frustrating! Can comment from my phone, but the writing is so small, I don't like to use it.
Yes to more magazine bombing! Haha Famous?! I don't know about that Cheryl.
DeleteThat's you! I recognized you before I read the tip. I can't get over, $30 for a magazine in Dubai. Imagine what a book would cost! I also think it's a splendid idea to make that jacket from an op shop blanket that would probably cost $5 - compared to the one in the magazine at $219. I hope you passed the tip on to Ms Markle while you were in London. She and Harry may need to economize a bit when the New Addition is born. Hee hee!
ReplyDeleteStrangely books weren't that much more, probably around the $60NZ mark - it would have been better economics to buy those in Dubai instead. We actually see some great coats (especially for little ones) made out of old blankets here. Great reuse I think. I suspect Meghan and Harry probably don't need that tip lol.
DeleteI will keep an eye out for that cookbook ... seems like there's some great ideas in it!! Meg😀
