Just a minute in...November

Hello lovelies. Thanks for your comments on the townhouse. We haven't really looked much again...which we should really.

I worked an extra work shift today. I regretted saying yes at first but got over it because getting extra money is always good. Plus I have made a new friend. She's a Christmas casual and she's just lovely.

Reading... The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde, Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen, Tempted by P.C. and Kristin Cast, Splendor by Anna Godbersen, various wedding mags

Wanting... A house and wanting to decorate it, a Christmas tree

Loving...The fluffy white Christmas tree with fairy lights in the lingerie/underwear section at work =), making new friends

The fluffy Christmas tree. I took a sneaky photo with my iPhone. Thought I would keep part of the lingerie in the pic lol. There's a chandelier here as well.

Thinking... About volunteering at our church ladies conference next year, going to Cambodia to help out in the She rescue home.

Hoping... To do more for others next year....my time, my talents (:p), my attention etc.

Adoring... Cute babies! Their smiles, their laughter their sweet little squeals. It really makes me happy.

Planning... Wedding invitations (I'm taking so long!), centre pieces, other wedding related stationery, my future house (sigh), Christmas gifts, brides maid gifts, brides maid accessories

Looking... At beautiful chandeliers. I would love a white and crystal one.

Enjoying... The warmer weather, sunlight and rain.

Thanking...God I have such a wonderful family and friends (blog friends included of course) and Jason

Here are a few chandelier photos I like.... The first few are mine.

This is a Christmas decoration from last year from Myer where I work.

You can't really see it but the decorations were so beautiful at the women's conference at church. They had chandeliers, sheer black pieces of fabric, fairy lights, candles...It was just gorgeous.

I just adore the way the light hits the crystals. They are just so pretty and I know I will try and get one once we get a place.

Have a wonderful rest of week!

  3. Beautiful pictures Gracie!

    Do not worry taking your time over your invitations - I went backwards and forwards from on design to another but so glad I did in the end as I felt they were just right after so very much thought, time and effort. All the time planning will be worth it for sure xx
