THE SHOPPING THREAD :-)

These are things you need to express your talent so why not make life easier and cheaper in the long run.  Can't wait to see your artwork maddy.
Thanks for the image information too - I never knew how to do it either.

Phew, I haven't looked at the forum much for a couple of days and it has so much to read. I dread to think when we are travelling and 'bush camp' for a few nights and I can't get the internet. DH's brother hasn't been well (another toe chopped off! ) and I've just had a quick peak on here.
Maddy I loved the upside down post.  Like everyone else I love to see what people have bought. All I've bought lately are some new jeans and new trakky to take away and a new WW cookbook of slices. They are so easy to convert. I guess it would be ok to put the recipes on here as long as I acknowledge their origin.

Never a truer word spoken JD    Great buys Maddy.

I have just ordered a new camera  http://www.canon.com.au/en-au/For-You/EOS-Digital-SLR-Cameras/600D, should be here by the end of the week.

And...if anyone has been to a Caffe Primo and seen how they serve their skewer meals; a skewer hangs from a stand over a bowl where you can put veg, salad chips etc.  You pull down the food off the skewer into the bowl as you want it.  I've ordered 2 of them too

I received my Indian " thermosaver" today , can't remember who posted about them but am very pleased. Set of 3 , with screw on lids so good for taking hot foods anywhere.

Julieo I just got the Canon EOS slr 550D as part of my bday from DH..love that camera!

I bought a naughty cake book called weekend baking. Lovely cake ideas that are a bit different. I made up for the indulgence by getting Rosemary Conley's step by step low fat cookbook. It really is a very nice book that go along with an everyday way of cooking but with an added weekend touch. I am going to be using this one quite a bit starting today with a quicky Taramasalate dip made with smoked salmon instead of smoked cod roe. I indulged in a stone shortbread platter too.

Frozzie we bought that camera for DD as part of her graduation present on the completion of her Masters in Pharmacy - she loves it.  My canon ixus is a great little camera but no comparison to the quality of pic produced by DD'S camera.

I know it takes amazing photos...best camera we have ever bought...well DH haha!! I took close up photos in the garden and of the kids and dogs and the detail is amazing...definately better than any other camera I have ever had!  also with different lenses you can get fantastic professional quality shots!  Still working out all the functions though 

[judydawn]

Your photos are brilliant already JulieO, guess they are going to be even better with the new camera.
