New blog layout...

Eeee, I'm excited about this.

So I mentioned a while ago that I was getting twitchy about my blog layout but all I did was update my post and sidebar font... well, but now I've completely updated it. I wanted something fresh, clean, with less 'stuff' and I wanted a side header (it still changes when you refresh too, yeay). I loved Katrina's layout Lemon Meringue on Powered by Pastries with the smaller header on the side and I loved as well what Ana and Elle did with it - but it wasn't exactly what I wanted... but I think this is.

Some aspects still need tweaking but I'm in no rush to sort everything out straight away, so I apologise if the images to the right still look a bit messy, I think I'll be tweaking it for a while yet, my last layout took me months to get right.

p.s. I finally a have photoshop at work, woo (though I still think Paint.net is amazing for free) so the pretty sparkles are for C and because I've wanted to use the sequins from Pugly Pixel since I first saw them :)

Hello!

I'm back!

And so far, I'm feeling so relaxed and rested... Let's hope that lasts longer than a day. I'm so excited to be back, even though I really enjoyed a break from practically everything in my life, it's good to return to things and remember that I enjoy them.

Thank you so much to everyone who left a comment to see if I was ok - I'm sorry I can't go into more about the bad news - it's not really my news to share but I truly appreciate the comments and emails that I recieved, it really helped. I'm feeling much more able to deal with the news now even if I'm not feeling any better about the news itself and that's a step forward that I'm happy with.

I don't really know where to start now I'm back - I got some new cameras (eep, see one above), I took some photos, I saw a lot of Beatles related things, I played on the xbox (alot), I had a few lay ins, I watched Krufts and lots of films, I had a day in my PJ's, I caught up with some blog reading, I willed our daffodils in the garden to grow faster and I generally took it easy... oh and the highlight of my week was seeing Picasso's Weeping Woman - it was absolutely beautiful!!

I just noticed that I reached 650 followers, so please if you are new here (or you don't comment often, or you just want to...) say hi! I'd love to get to know you and check out your blogs! I'm still blown away that I have more than 10 followers, so thank you again to everyone who sticks around.

It's good to be back!
p.s. The rather lovely and beautiful Illy is having a giveaway of one of my prints on her blog, if you fancy winning one of my prints click here!

A few things!

Yikes, it's November, can you believe that already?? I'm still catching up from September!

How was everyones weekend? Ours was amazing!! Honestly, the party could not have gone any better and everyone was dressed up so well! I'm planning on sharing a few photos soon, so keep an eye out for that.

Just a quick post to share a few other things with you!

1. My uni roommate for two years is now part of a team writing a blog...
and not just any blog but...
Impressed?!?! I am!
And also slightly jealous, I want to write a blog for my job!

If you're from the UK, please check this out - it's brand new and also a great resource for any new Benefit products that will be coming out (including a rather amazing looking liquid eyeliner, I've now got my eye on...) Pop over and say Hi!

2. Remember my Autumn Styling post with Cushions from last week?
It's now on the Voucher Codes Magazine Website - along with some other choices by lovely UK bloggers!
It's definitely worth a look for some Autumn Inspiration!

3. It's nearly christmas! Which means its time for the beautiful
I adored the ornament I sent and received last year, so I'm super excited about it this year!
Check out Micaela's post about how to enter!

4. The calenders for my shop are nearly ready - I ended up doing a holga favourites and also a Krakow one - so I hope you are as excited about them as I am.

5. I have so much else to share with you now! I might end up doing two posts a day for a while - I'm quite excited about it, I think I might even do two today :)

A little catch up!

{Thomas and I overlooking the amazing city of Krakow. Happy sigh. }

Hey lovelies!! I am back!

I've missed you! But, how well has my little blog been looked after over the last week?? Such a massive thank you to all the lovely ladies who helped me out - Ashley, Adeline, Andrea, Celeste, Clare, Franca, Caren, Allyn, Elizabeth and Megan - please check out their amazing blogs - you might even find a giveaway and a new layout in there... I hope you enjoyed their posts as much as I did!

Krakow was wonderful, amazing, beautiful and completely overwhelming in the best way possible. Of course I now have 50 fujis to scan and 6 films to develop so I won't be posting about it straight away but I am so so so excited about sharing everything with you! Eeep!!
It's going to be amazing!

Also, I came back to over 500 followers!! Wooohooooo! I wish I had something for you all, a giveaway or something - but I'm so unorganised... lol. I honestly am so happy you are all here though and still completely amazed that you've all stuck around! I love you guys!!

I hope you all had an amazing week - I feel so excited to be back to blogging and I can't wait to catch up with everything I've missed :)
