2. Grow a herb garden
Let me start by saying I unfortunately did not inherit the family green thumb but I do actually really enjoy being outside and working in the garden (easy to say this when I have a court yard garden).
Things have a tendency to thrive or die in my courtyard no matter how much love or lack of attention I give them. As a bit of a trial, I decided to buy some 'matured' herbs from Coles supermarket to see how they would go in my garden so I could find the best spot for them.
I found a nice spot for the basil, chives and parsley (like the little instruction tag told me), then proceeded to plant the newest editions to my garden.
This may sound pretty sad, but I was pretty excited about the beginnings of my herb garden ......unfortunately........... so was a naughty crow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I caught two Crows in my garden this morning with my Basil and Parsley!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously???? I thought that the Sun and the little ring tail possums that seem to hang around our street may have been the only threat ......but a crow????
Aaarrrrggghhhh :( Looks like I will have to have them in a pot undercover.
Stay tuned for Round Two!

12. Bake 5 dishes off my Pintrest Board (Pt 1 of 5)
So after the Herb incident I thought I would keep going with my '30 before 30' fun and attempt a recipe off my Pintrest Board.
I chose a dessert as I thought that would be the most fun (and probably the easiest)!! As you can see from my Board, I have some SERIOUSLY yummy calorie packed items to pick from. In the end I decided to make mini Oreo Cheese Cakes.
This is the picture of what I was aiming for.........
this is what I achieved.....
Laying a sweet foundation (I decided to crumble the cookies instead of using the cookie whole)
Looking good so far....
Was a little bit sad when they came out :(
But they still tasted awesome!!
You'll notice that I layered my mixture instead of swirling it through with biscuits like the recipe.
So my first attempt wasn't exactly as successful as I had hoped, but its a start!
I am serving them up to Amber tonight so I will let you know how she liked them. You always get an honest answer from Amber so wish me luck :)
18. Get my 3rd tattoo
I have wanted another tattoo for quiet a while now, but obviously since a tattoo will be with me forever, I didn't want to rush out and get anything I will regret in 5 years time. I have had my heart set on a black day of the dead skull for a while now and found a design that I love , but the comments I've had from people on my chosen design haven't exactly been complimentary so I've had second thoughts.
My tattoo is going to be on the right hand side of my rib cage and will only ever been seen my a handful of people but I still want it to be a nice tattoo.
I've narrowed it down to the two below:
OR 
What are your thoughts???
My sister Amber has told me that she would like to join me so I have a buddy to join me on this one :)
29. Start a blog and record my '30' activities
