Exciting news and deco!

WE ARE GOING TO SINGAPORE FOR THE NUFFNANG AWARDS THIS THURSDAY!!!
That’s right everyone! We both won tickets to the Nuffnang Asia Pacific Blogger Awards with our Pringles competition entries! OMG SO EXCITING!
Thanks so much to Nuffnang for paying for our tickets and accommodation! We are so grateful for everything and can’t wait to meet all the other bloggers going!
And OMGOMGOMGOMG we leave this Thursday! So much packing to do!
This is the first formal event I’ve ever been to (I didn’t go to my highschool formal) so I can’t even say how excited I am to be able to get dressed up. I’m putting the final touches on my outfit over the next few days but I’m going to keep it a surprise for you guys!
So you can understand why I haven’t been posting much this week, I’ve been busy making arrangements!
Over the next few days as I pack I’ll be putting together a post called “Violet’s Traveling Tip’s” so you can see how I travel in style ^_^
A sneak peak of what I’m going to take with me…. I deco’d my DS Lite this week :D Here’s a mini tutorial on how I did it (with some bonus photos down the bottom)!
First I got my diamante case of doom!
I arranged all of the biggest charms first and glued them down with epoxy. Don’t worry I’m just decorating a case. I used a bunch of random charms, some bows and pleated ribbon on the bottom.
Then I filled in all of the gaps with smaller jewels and pearls.
I gave everything a few top coats with clear nail polish.
After it was dry I popped it back on the DS.
Tadaa!
Now some bonus pictures from our adventures with the stupid car! Poor little car being towed to it’s final resting place :(
Me at the mechanic paying for it all. They were so nice and only charged us a tiny bit! I would totally recommend them if you live in Brisbane check out Mechanix Plus in Wynnum ^_^
It actually hailed this week ! My back yard was covered in ice, if you know Brisbane’s climate you know how rare this is! I’m almost glad we didn’t have a car to get damaged XD
Well that’s it for now! Join me next week for my epic travel post!
Oh would you guys prefer that I set up a couple of automatic posts for while I’m away? Or would you just like me to set it up so my twitter updates here so you can get a blow by blow of all the fun we’re going to have?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH SINGAPORE!! Thank you Nuffnang!

Uncaring Kitty- The chocolate broke :( I dropped my DS and managed to crack the chocolate so this was a repair job!
Petite mum- Thank you so much :D I'll make sure to post picture!
Clockwork- Don't worry there will be copious amounts of photos and updates!
Rumtum- Haha thanks, unfortunately the chocolate was broken so it was a repair job XD Apparently the hotel has free wifi so it should be cool :D
Sahakiel- Thank you! Ah I'm so excited! Btw congrats on the BtSSB tea party!! So cool!
Dreaming Macaron- Thank you so much! Heehee thanks on the DS too, I am super happy with how it turned out ^_^

Deekay- Aww thanks for stopping by! I'm really glad you enjoy my blog, it's great to have someone else interested in Gyaru fashion here ^_^
Congrats on winning the tickets. That's wonderful. Sorry about your car.
