A fairytale journal

I'm sure a lot of you are experiencing problems with blogger and comments. It's pretty annoying and I'm thinking of changing to something else. We'll see.

Well I thought I would share some pages from the Swap-bot fairytale journal I made. I won't show every page because that would be way to many pictures, plus a lot of them are fairly similar. Maybe I will add them to my flickr (I have so many photos I need to add there).

This is the front cover of the journal. I bought a cute little carriage charm.

It was so fat when it was done.

Pretty much the first page. That's one of my Polyvore sets that I have shared before.

I made some envelopes and put some pretty paper inside.

I printed out some of the fairytale stories that I loved.

More little envelopes. This has tiny cards with a castle on it inside.

A Snow White page.

I bought a few bits from Etsy. This ACEO is from Darkling Woods etsy shop.

This Little Red Riding Hood art postcard is from Matilou Etsy.

I got this Red Riding Hood button/bookmark from Buttonsbylulu madeit shop.

Just a Thumbelina movie quote and picture.

I got this little fairytale from Papier Mache magazine. It's a little download story I bought.

And the ending. I had a fairytale paper pack. I just stamped the Happily Ever After.

So basically I filled it up with pictures, quotes, little gifts and gave my opinions on some of the fairytales. It was a fun swap! I'm really loving these journals swaps. They're more effort but fun (especially if you get one that is lovely back).

Anyway, I'm going back to doing my to do and thinking about moving my blog somewhere else. Have a great rest of week.

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.
