Shopping List and Frightening Experience

Thanks for all the comments about the pants and also the softies.

Our shopping list ran out of paper recently and we have been rely on memory, a bad thing in this house. So I made a new one. I saw this small chipboard clip board at Spotlight and it was magnetised so I Mod Podged some pictures from a Good Taste magazine on it and recycled some paper from work and a new shopping list is born.

I made a sewing clip board a while ago by the same method using a vintage pattern. I am always losing drawings and things so it is coming in very handy. I think I will probably make some more.
Now onto my frightening experience this afternoon. I was driving home from work along the Gore Hill Freeway in Sydney and all of a sudden there was a screeching of brakes by a Porsche two cars in front of me and dust flying everywhere and large objects bouncing across the road. The car in front of me and myself swerving to avoid the debris. Would you believe it but one of the light poles on the medium strip had actually fallen down. I don't know how anybody wasn't killed let alone hurt. I'm still in shock that something like that could happen.

Oh my gosh! Thank goodness everyone was ok! That's so scary. How random, too, for a light pole to just fall over. So very random.

And I love the boards. Very cute.
