Aussie Daft!

-
If you don't already know, I am a huge fan of Formula One.  I have watched it for as long as I can remember, back in the days where there were races on TV at 3am in the morning.

Back then, the driver I was cheering on was David Coulthard - he comes from the same region as me!  Fast forward to 2007 and as well as cheering for DC, I couldn't help but also root for DC's teammate Mark Webber - another intelligent driver and nice guy.  Following on from Webber's retirement, his replacement at Red Bull in 2014 was another Aussie, Daniel Ricciardo.  It is hard not to warm to Ricciardo, as he is one of the smiliest and most genuine drivers on the grid - he is also a very talented racing driver, producing some wonderful overtakes, and completely outshining champion Sebastian Vettel in his first season with Red Bull.

What a squad!

Anyway..... July 1st was Daniel Ricciardo's birthday, and in celebration of this there was a competition over on twitter.... and I was SO lucky to be announced as the winner!


And here is my prize:



How amazing are these!  Now I'm hunting for a clear acrylic box to keep them in, so they can go on display.



I also received an amazing gift from my friend Claire and her dad.  A personalised signed copy of Mark Webber's book - how awesome, and what a lovely surprise ♥!

    Awesome! Congrats. :-D :-D

    I used to watch F1 in the 90s. I was a big fan of Frentzen LOL! But then I lost touch, but I sometimes watch it these days!

    That's awesome! I haven't watched much Formula 1 (except Monaco) over the years, but I'm a big NASCAR fan here in the US - so I can definitely understand how awesome this is!

      Thank you! Monaco is quite unique isn't it. One day I dream of attending that GP! I don't know much about NASCAR... although I think Juan Pablo Montoya moved over to that series? :) x

Nailsxo World Cup Nails 2014 Nigeria Nails & Football, two of my favourite things! I am so excited to be taking part in this challenge, which is the brainchild of Emily over at Nailsxo .   Everybody who is taking part in the challenge was assigned a random Country which is taking part in the World Cup in Brazil (not long until it starts, yay!).  After being given the Country (I was assigned Nigeria ), the challenge was to make some nails based on the Country.  Also, which ever teams wins the World Cup, the person who was assigned them wins a prize (although, let's face it... I'm not really expecting Nigeria to do that well)! So here they are: My index and little fingers are my own take on Nigerian fabric patterns. I was using my friend google to help me find some inspiration for my nails.  I found a  website about Nigeria , and found out that tie dying is very popular.  I also did a google image search for Nigerian patterns/fabrics, an
