I can't believe we are in July! The scary thing is at work Christmas stock will be coming out in September!
And thanks again for all your comments. I love my city and think it's just lovely :) The weather is usually amazing too.
Anyway, Just a minute....
Watching... Eclipse, Toy Story 3 (I hope) and who knows what else during the month
Reading... The Red Pyramid, assorted magazines and again who knows what else I will read later on
Writing... A huge To Do list. It lists absolutely everything I have to do and catch up on because I really want to break out of this procrastination cycle.
Looking... For a new job still. I'm kind of picky and of course I never find what I want
Hoping... That I will break out of my procrastination and be more organised with my life
Wishing... It was warmer
Praying... For direction with my life
Thinking... About what gets me excited, about my purpose on this earth.
I've been doing a lot of pondering and thinking lately. I feel like I've lived 25 years and haven't achieved all that much. So now I'm wanting to contribute more and do more for others. It's a big journalling topic for me at the moment.
Anyway, I haven't shared what I received from Europe from my brother Alvin and new sister in law Melly.
This is everything. The pretty earrings are from Vienna, the sweet notepad is from Italy and there is a sugar pack from Laduree in Paris. Melly knew I would just love something from that place :)
A close up of the earrings and sugar.
And this sweet dress is from Singapore. Melly wore it a few times but gifted it to me!! Yay! I really like it. The back has this pretty cut out bow.
And this is them at such beautiful chateau in France.
I really am so glad that they are back! It's so good to be able to just see them (as they are living with mum and dad for the moment) but will be moving back to the Sunshine Coast :( Melly keeps telling us to move there too, which would be lovely but I'm sure we will be staying in Brisbane.
I hope you have a wonderful week.
That is so cool! Those earrings are so pretty :)
ReplyDeleteAnd, I seriously can't believe it is July either - this summer is just flying by!

I'm certain that you've achieved more than you think you have!
ReplyDeleteHey Gracie! Finally had some time to catch up on blogs, I missed reading your updates! :) What goregous things Melly and Alvin bought back from Europe for you! The dress is so you. I hope your job searching is fulfilling! When I had a browse recently on seek and stuff, I was surprised by the broadness of the areas I was interested in. Usually I would've stuck with retail and probably books or fashion, but by expanding my expectations of my own capacity, I was able to consider things outside the box, and I felt so much better about my options. Hope the same happens for you! You have achieved so much in your life (that I know of), including a degree, a huge amount of reading (I think that's an awesome achievement :p) and you make a lot of people happy through your blogs and your pen pal swaps! :)
ReplyDeleteHopefully see you again soon!

What gorgeous gifts you got from their travels!
ReplyDeleteLove your minute in posts Gracie! I too cannot believe where the year has gone so far and I am already receiving Autumn/Winter catalogues here in England, even though we really are only starting summer - crazy!
Hope July is a great month for you!

I'm not ready for Christmas stock to hit the stores just yet - my bank account hasn't recovered from last year!
ReplyDeleteLove the presents your brother and your enw sister-in-law bought you! How lucky of them to be able to go to such amazing places for their honeymoon!
I like the idea of photographing the parklands. We don't have to start straight away, but I vote for Southbank as our first place!
