Things I've learnt from blogs this week...

Another week gone already, its going to be July soon!

  1. This is a great idea... I think I might have to make one of these for each of my favorite beaches in Norfolk (though I have no idea where I would put them...)
  2. You can get cupcake liner's - how adorable is this?!
  3. Goldendoodles may be the cutest puppies... ever.
  4. I'm definately having a cupcake thing at the moment - how awesome do these popcorn cupcakes look though? I want to make some. Right now.
  5. Quirky bags are awesome! I heart this bag too.

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend, I'm cleaning the house (woo) in time for Boyfriend's parents who are visiting next weekend. It has to be spotless.

Birthday card (Helen)

After looking at some illustration blogs I decided that it was time for me to start drawing again. I haven't drawn for fun in what feels like 4 years (uni wasn't for fun...) but what to draw? I settled on drawing a birthday card for one of my friends Helen. She loves elephants and when we were living in London I took her to see Hanson at the Koko... so I thought I would combine the two!

After scanning the drawing I thinned out the top black line (I got a bit too enthusiastic) and added the text - my handwriting is awful, so I thought a nice font would look better. I then experimented with adding some grey to give it a bit more depth

And this one I did for me - mainly because I wanted to colour something in, hehe.

Boyfriend wasn't too keen on this one (maybe because of the pink?) but I love it!

'Its Wednesday... I'm in Love'

I've lost count of the number of times I've fallen in love with my boyfriend... just as I think I can't love him any more he says or does something that makes my heart flutter.

If he didn't already have my heart yesterday I would have thought that he was a man after it!

We were sitting on the couch talking about weddings (happening a bit at the moment, which is bizarre as neither of us really want to get married yet, I blame all our friends getting married!) and I said that I loved the photobooth idea and he said...

"Wouldn't it better to have someone go round with a polaroid camera? Then people could write things underneath the photo and we could stick them on a wall."

Eeep!! Yes it would! That sounds perfect to me :)
(I hope he doesn't read this now - its a bit embarrassing when you get caught gushing...
how cute is he for coming up with that himself though !)
