Engagement Party tomorrow!

I've always thought this looked amazing.

Eeepp! It's our engagement party tomorrow night and it feels like it has come so fast. I've been working a fair bit the past few days and so tired. I was setting up Christmas (decos and such) and it's tiring work.

Anyway, this isn't much of a post as I have lots of things to do. Thought I would share part of my decorations for the engagement.

Here you can see me taking the photo. That dvd is full of engagement photos that Laura took and she made the dvd cover.

As you can see I have a thing for pretty things and the colour pink. I have more of these decorations I just wanted to show a sampling.

There's also going to be some photos courtesy of Laura printed out and I've cut out a few paper butterflies that I might decide to use. And I'm also thinking of putting fairy lights around.

It's all very exciting and I'm busy today. This morning Jason (he got a day off work) are going to watch the Dawn Treader filming, then picking up his step brother and his gf, then go off to see a townhouse we are interested in and tonight meeting up with Laura and Josh to talk engagement at this place called The Belgian Bar.

Sorry this is a dull post. Next week I will have one all about the Engagement party and other happenings. Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

A little peak...

I have a big weekend of work and other social engagements. It's always so busy this time of the year. I have work tomorrow from 8-4:30 (originally 5 but I got a half hour off). First it's off to an engagement party (I swear everyone is getting engaged lately!), then a birthday. I have work until wednesday, with Tuesday night being Myerone VIP night. Sigh so it means a long day of work being 10-9pm, then an 8 o'clock start the next day.

Anyway, I've been so excited about Christmas that I put the tree up already. I'm slowly buying more items as it get closer to Christmas. I can't help it working in the trim section.

Here's a collage of some pretty decorations I have bought this year.

I know it's not the most fantastic photos of the items. I was drawn to these colours. I wasn't even going to have a colour theme. But I love the jewelled pink, blue and purple. With some gold, and a tiny bit of silver and crystal coloured. 

This is my tiny 2ft pink tree that I feel in love with and just had to buy. These are the colours I chose for it. The purple, teal and frosted, glittery white. I might have a gold star on top though when I'm finished with it.

This is a little project I have been working on in my down time. I'm in the biggest fairy tale mood. I scanned some picture from some of my favourite images in a Brother's Grim picture book and turned the images into mini envelopes. They are the photos on the left. The pictures on the right are from this flickr user. She has got hundreds are wonderful images. 

I just had to share this. It's part of my backyard I took this morning. I love how green the grass is and the trees. It's been raining and storming here for the past few days. Huge storms that one area has been declared a disaster zone. I was at work last night and the lights kept on flickering. My mum said the hail stones were huge and there was so much lightning. 

This is a picture of my desk. It's terribly messy. I have so many projects going on I can't seem to keep it clean. The rest of my room look much the same. 

Anyway, I want to share more christmas things in future posts.
