Ornament Swap!

Yeay, another swap and again I am beyond excited!

The incredibly lovely Micaela from Dolce Vita is hosting a Christmas Ornament swap,

I love christmas, I love ornaments and I looove swaps!

To sign up, pop over here.

Oh and every person taking part will also be entered into a giveaway for a set of Diana's Library Themed christmas cards (swoon) and a set of Pride and Prejudice ornaments from Brookish. How amazing is that?

p.s. Evelyn, one of my favourite Holga photographers, is featured on Diamonds in the Rough today, eeeee!

Things I've learnt from blogs this week... and a day off!

Yeay so its finally Friday and I am not at work today - in fact I'm not even at the computer right now :) hopefully I am in Ikea stocking up on christmas items, or maybe even bowling or eating some amazing food, huzzah!!

You see two of my best friends (mentioned here and here) are coming up to visit for a long weekend so we are having an action packed, fun filled, ikea visiting, karaoke singing, long weekend with them!! Woo!! Expect some fun pictures next week (I hope!)

1. Plates really are pretty and fun.
2. Did you know Anna Faris has pugs? And they are adorable!
3. Next halloween I am making these - with faces carved in
4. Someone else had already done this... I'm going to do it anyway!
5. Some more pretty yellow pictures...

I hope you all have wonderful, fun weekends! See you next week!

Little letters to the future...

Dear future sunsets at the bus stop,

You will make waiting much more bearable, I look forward to taking more photos

Dear future weekend,
You are going to be so much fun, you already sound too good to be true.

Dear future polaroid camera,
Why don't I own you yet? This is your second letter...

Dear future nieces and nephews*,
Hurry up! I'm so excited about you already, I can't wait to be your cool Auntie

p.s. I need someone to take to see kids films with me before I start looking uncool...

Dear future puppies and kittens,
I love you already - even if you will wee on my bed and chew my shoes...

Dear future Thomas,
If I love you this much now - imagine how much I will love you then :)

Dear future car,
I am really surprised by how much I can't wait to drive you, I hope you're red.

Dear future pumpkins,
you will look impressive next time... and stand up straight.

Dear future,
You look bright and I can't wait!

*I probably should point out that my sister isn't pregnant and I don't think she plans to be I'm just impatient :)

6 months!!

I know, I know its a Saturday but... today is not just any old Saturday - today it is 6 months until I am a bridemaid at one of my best friends wedding!! I am so unbelievably excited!

I have been really rubbish at providing details about the wedding every month - mainly because I honestly don't know that many but the lovely bride is coming to visit us in two weeks (I can't wait) so hopefully I should know more soon, yeay!

Anyway to celebrate this month I have dug deeply into the box of photos that resides on my parents wardrobe to find a picture of the first time I was a bridemaid!!

How cute and very 80's! I was 3 years old and it was for my Aunt's wedding (who I adore still) Check out the fringe - I wish my hair would sit like that now!

Anyway, Hope you are all having a wonderful Saturday - I'm going to try and restrain myself from sending the blushing bride too many overexcited text messages :)
