Useful Gift Wrapping

​Wrap gifts in a useful cloth product - a handkerchief, dish cloth, microfiber cleaning cloth, chamois, tea towel, t-shirt or scarf - depending on the size of the gift and the gender of the receiver.

Plant Now for Christmas

​Prepare your planting pots for potted colour at Christmas. Now is the perfect time to plant bright red and white petunias for a glorious display in your outdoor entertaining area.

A Simple Wedding Ceremony

​A lot of people desire to get married in a Church but the cost can range in the thousands for a Church wedding, for example the Anglican Cathedral in Brisbane can cost thousands of dollars. A good way option to take care of the legals is to have a micro wedding, through a service such as Simple Weddings. For $199, the legals and registrations are taken care of. https://simpleweddings.com.au/ If a religious blessing is required after the ceremony, some ministers and pastors do offer this option for those who want it for free. Alternatively, a religious ceremony can be conducted afterwards at the reception where all the guests can be invited.

Unwrapped Christmas Gifts

​I’d like to add to the tip about not wrapping Christmas presents on today’s newsletter, that when I was young (and then carried in for my children) our presents were always packed into a pillowcase. Easy, cheap and fun to go searching through!

Seed Raising Box

​I had a empty Woolworths plastic egg cartoon and I'm using it as a seed raising container. I put a drainage hole in each then put seed raising mix or potting mix, put seeds in, spray water every day out lid on pop in sun hay presto in a couple of weeks have seedlings.

Stop Frostbite

​While you are busy digging in the freezer to make way for the Christmas goodies save your fingers from frost bite by slipping on a pair of gardening gloves. I keep a pair of cotton knit gloves by the freezer and slip my mits in before I dive into the chest freezer and the fingers are very appreciative of this little thing. They are also useful when dusting or cleaning the venetian blinds or louvres.
