Boyzone (Manchester)

My inner 12 year old had the best time at this concert!! There was once a time when my bedroom walls were completely plastered with huge posters of Boyzone and you would think that at 23 I would have been a little more mature....

Haha, no! I sang along, danced and screamed as much as the rest of the crowd and the fact that we were in the 2nd row was absolutely amazing!

{Clare swears Ronan is looking into her camera - what do you think?}

The highlight of the night for me was Stephen Gately performing 'All the Single Ladies'! Awesome!

Things I've Learnt This Week

Well, its been a short working week and its going to be a long weekend, yeay!! My younger sister is here today so I wrote this yesterday and set it to post later - I hope it works. So excited about my sister and her fella being here, we're having a trip to Manchester and hopefully Flamingo Land... I hope the weather holds. Hope you all have lovely weekends as well, see you next week :)

1. I told Boyfriend ages ago that I would like a pig - I especially want one of these... eep!
2. Weddings invitations are amazing! I love everything about this one, the story, the fonts...
3. I love things that look like something else... (like the popcorn cupcakes, hehe) These cookies are awesome. How great would it be to make actual button size ones of these and put them onto cupcakes with icing... ohhhhhhh.....
4. I guess these count in the same category - Crayons that look like stones... I love!
5. Cupcake liners are multi functional, yeay!

p.s. Hello Erika C! Thanks for following :)

Pay it Forward

As I mentioned last week, Erin from Perfect Sentiment did a post about Paying it Forward. When I first read the post I had a serious think about commenting on it - could I pay it forward? Would I do it on my blog? What could I do? Then I just did it - I ignored all the reasons not too (lack of ideas for one) and decided that I wanted to do something nice for other people - I wanted to pay it forward and I wanted to do it on my blog!

Once I had hit return I realised the comments were moderated and that the chance of me being in the top 3 was quite low... after all that agonising. So it was a bit of a shock when I heard from Erin, a good shock though. All this week I have been thinking (and so has boyfriend) about what to do and we've finally figured it out... so here are the rules:

The first three people who leave a comment on this post will receive a little surprise from me (and boyfriend!) The only catch is that you have to pay it forward to three more people. You don't have to have a blog to do this, just promise to keep it going by surprising three more people however you'd like.

How exciting! :)

(I'll probably do other things outside of my blog too - its fun to surprise people!)

Peacock Feathers....

{I remembered something I was going to post, huzzah}

After lusting over this cardi by Matthew Williamson...

and then sulking that people were putting it on Ebay for much more money than it was worth. I got distracted by other things that had peacock feathers...

Here are a few things on Etsy (my latest distraction) that I love!
