Made this slice the other day, twas delightful! Especially if u like peppermint. I love slices, i'm not sure why, i guess coz they're mostly easy to make!

Chocolate Sludge Slice
Base: 125g butter, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tb golden syrup, 1cup coconut, 1 cup SR flour.
Topping: 60g butter, 1/3 tin condensed milk (130g), 1 cup icing sugar, 1 tb cocoa, 3/4 cup coconut, 1/2 ts peppermint essence.
-Preheat oven 180 degrees. Cream butter and sugar, add syrup, coconut then flour. Press into greased slice tin and bake 20 mins.
-While base is cooking, prepare topping. Melt butter and condensed milk together, then mix in icing sugar, cocoa, coconut and peppermint essence. Pour topping over base while it's still hot and the topping is still warm. Allow to cool before cutting into slices.

Soooo cold this weekend!! Took Sophia to the local footy yesterday, her first time! Everyone who hadn't met her yet was poking and prodding and pinching! She took it all in her stride though, she's a wonderfully tolerant bubba. Frustrating football, Collingwood and St. Joseph's both lost! Aaagh! Anyway, here are some LO's I did during the week.

Did this page a few weeks ago, sorry about the quality but i only have a 7mp camera! Aargh, very frustrating but i'm saving my pennies for a better camera. This is my partner Adrian and i on our first holiday together in Queensland. The pic was taken at Dreamworld.

Happy Easter to all! Couldn't afford to get much this year after our little Tassie holiday, so i wrapped some cadbury eggs in celophane, stamped 'happy easter' on some ppaper and tagged who each gift was for.

Okay, first post. Aargh! First time at this, so here goes. 
I love scrapbooking, and I've recently been peeking at other people's scrap blogs and I'm impressed with the work! I hope mine comes up to standard...
Just came back from 6 days holiday in Tasmania. It was amazing! So beautiful. We landed in Hobart, stayed for 3 days, then drove to Arthur River on the North West coast. That was a wild ride! Drove through Heritage Rainforest on dirt roads with nobody for miles around! Crossed the Pieman River on a barge, then 200k's of rocky, unsealed road in a corolla hire car!! Stayed in Arthur River for 2 nights, then drove onto Launceston and stayed for a night. Sophia was amazing, especially on the plane and the long drive. 
I'll start by uploading pics from the trip, and load some completed pages tomorrow! TFL!
