Just because you're lovely

Hello lovelies! Thanks for the feedback on the swap. I've decided to do the 'Just because you're lovely' swap. Maybe next time I will also do 'A few of my favourite things.'

Remember sign ups will be this Wednesday 4th of August (eep August!). I will have a questionnaire to fill out so I have some information about your swap partner. Yay! I do hope that you have fun.

Speaking of packages. I received a beautiful one from Sandy of Sandy a la Mode. I won her lovely bunting giveaway. Here's a few photos of the package.

The lovely packaging. I love that she included some butterflies! And those pins were handmade by her. I can't wait to see what her Etsy store will look like. It will be full of so much prettiness.

This is a peak at her beautiful bunting she made. She picked the colours and fabrics that I would like. I absolutely adore it!

At the moment I have it displayed on our staircase. It adds a nice bit of colour to the lounge room.

So remember to sign up for the swap on Wednesday. And only participate if you know that you are able to. Oh and I just need one more follower to reach 200! I was thinking of having a giveaway once that happens. Thank you to all my followers and anyone who reads my blog. You're so lovely!

Have a beautiful week!

Packages and other creative pursuits

I have so much free time on my hands (due to not working much) and there are so many creative things I would like to do that it's hard to know where to start. 

However before I go into details I just want to share some lovely packages I have received. 

This is from Kerri. It was such a sweet little package. She included the Hemlines stationery set that I have wanted to get for ages!

The pretty wrapping from another package. This one was from Jason. It was for my birthday. 

This is what was inside the wrapping. Everything is from Notemaker. A small Moleskine, two other notebooks, and two different photo albums. 

I received this pretty brooch from Anastasia. It's so lovely. 

And this is another package from Anastasia. It's a pizza box of collage/crafty supplies that she got from Ruby St Designs. Gorgeous things. I should really start creating with it!

I have a few new creative pursuits. One being sewing. I have my first sewing lesson/course next Monday night, so that should be interesting and fun. The other is letterpress. I wanted to do a lesson or course for so long. There aren't any here which is a shame but I have bought a tabletop letterpress. I'm getting it from Bespoke Press. Jason and I went around to have a look at it and it was just too good to pass up. Alischa is just so lovely and she was very informative. Her work is amazing! Eee! I'm so excited about things.

Thank you for my packages and for all the lovely people I am so privileged to met and know =)
