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 :)

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

I am so glad it's Friday - As the lovely Nicole said 'its been one of those weeks' (check out the links from Diana in her post today!)

  1. Tea of the week - need I say anything else?
  2. I adore all these images!
  3. Oh and these as well - pretty
  4. Every day this week has felt a bit like this...
  5. more pretty pictures - I still love peacocks.
  6. An extra this week - have you seen Down and Out Chic's giveaway this week?!
    (Actually dont look - I want it :D )

I hope you all have great weekends!!

Oh and Photoswap Update II

I have sent about 95% of the emails out to people - if you havent received an email yet its because I am still chasing your partners address - but definitely start taking pictures this weekend. Hopefully I should have all the emails out by the end of the day or tomorrow.

If you haven't had an email from me by Monday then please contact me and we will hopefully sort it out.

The closing date to have photos taken and in the post by is November 23rd 2009. Have fun taking your photos - I'm taking helga out this weekend :)

Holiday Gift Swap!!

I am all about the swaps right now!
When Carly let me know she was doing a holiday gift swap, I almost danced with excitement. I love christmas, I love buying gifts, I love surprises and I love you guys. What better way to show that love than to get one of you a present!!

So join up quick - the rules are simple - you'll have 1 partner to swap with, you must send a creative gift with the approximate value of $10-15US (without shipping). It could be anything- handmade or bought, vintage or not.

Sign up closes on November 9th - don't miss out!!

p.s. I love wrapping presents the most, I can not wait!
