I'm (basically) done

Yay! I had my last exam yesterday and I'm pretty much free! I have a little bit of my independent study to do but besides that I'm finished! And my graduation is finally figured out, so I will be hopefully graduation next month. Yew! Pretty exciting times for me. Though I have gotten a bit sick. Mainly tiredness and a bit of a sore throat.

Well I have a few things to share. It was one my best friend's Laura's 21st birthday party on the weekend. It was a white themed birthday. Everything looked gorgeous with tulle wrapped with white fairy lights, candles which created a warm ambiance, delicious food, a lot made by lovely Natalia. It was a fun night. So here are a few pictures of the night and pics of the presents I got Laura. Actually Me, Natalia and Kristina did get Laura a combined gift. We got her an Australian Vogue subscription which she absolutely loves!

This is a gorgeous print I purchased from lovely Bec of My Charlie Girl. Her name is Coco. It's just in a frame I bought. I love the prints they are so beautiful. Go check out her work. Plus Laura loved it as she's an artist herself and Coco is appropriate for her as she loves Coco Chanel.

I love the Christina Re paper. These are just some little notecards I made her that I thought would be her style.

Just another angle. I kind of liked it =)It never seems to be sunny when I take photos. How weird?!

These are tiny notecards I made her. Each card has a different word I thought was appropriate. I would like to make more of these.

All the handmade items together. I covered a sketchbook with that pretty paper so she can take it on her birthday cruise. I thought she might be able to use it to sketch and note down ideas while on the ship. But it's small a good size, not bulky.

All the items together. I bought that Princess print for myself as well.

And the girls. Me, Laura, Natalia and Kristina. White was such a great theme. So beautiful and pure.

A photo of Laura and me. I look a bit funny here but she's looking gorgeous as usual =)

Just Jase and me out the front of the house. Too bad you can't see the lovely tulle and fairy lights properly.

Ok I'm posing a bit in this pic. I haven't got my heels on anymore so I look so small. The dress is actually nicer in person. It's soft and feels great on.

One last thing is I want to write about this from Natasha. For more information check out her blog. A virtual vintage prom sounds like so much fun. I've always wanted to participate in one of these. So please check it out.

A few things

I'm down to three subjects for uni now. I dropped one of them as I didn't think it was really my thing. But thats ok spanish is keeping me preoccupied anyway.
Here is something I was mucking around with on photo shop. It's definately not fantastic but I am just playing around with it. I want to use other pictures and things. Eventually I will get better with practise and with help from Jason. It's weird I want to do more creative things when I have uni work to do. I want to write more and create more. Oh well this is one of my outlets. And this picture shows some things I like. Beautiful ornate frames, ballet and the piano. Lovely.
Anyway I was going to put a youtube thing here but for some reason it's not working so maybe next time.

First day back at uni

It was my first day back to uni after 3 months holiday. It feels so soon this time. Normally I don't mind going back but this time I wasn't really looking forward to it. I started Spanish though. It's quite good. I would love to be fluent one day.

Also I have been on an Alias marathon. I have watched the whole first season and getting season 2 tomorrow. I can't help it. It's so addictive. I love that show its one of my favourites. Too bad it's finished now. I have yet to see season 5.
This is Thara and me in the Valley. We had some lunch, Yum Cha to be exact with some friends and we are just hanging out here after. This was on Sunday. I'm not the biggest fan of Yum Cha. But it was still good.
And this is something I made. Well I just cut the silhouette out and put the paper background in the frame. I actually got the idea of the silhouette in a frame from a book Laura got for my birthday and the patterned paper idea I got from Christina Re stationary booklet. And this is just a bit of a close up. The photos are the tiniest bit blurred as it's hard to take photos of frames because of the reflection of the glass. This was the best I could do. Oh the picture is from Disney Cinderella. I love that movie. I'm using this frame to decorate my crafty room.

Oh and I'm so glad the green bridge is built to get to uni. No more paying for the ferry. I save $3.20 a day! Yay!
