Farewell Christmas...

Well Christmas is long past, and today the christmas decorations came down. yes i know i'm a little behind. or a lot behind. But often it is so hard to say goodbye (if only for a little while) to christmas time in all its splendor. So here is a little farewell image in honour of our first (dying) christmas tree, in our first flat, on our first christmas as a married couple.


and another photo in homage to that wonderful film, 'White Christmas',

New Year's Resolution(s)

I've decided that there are several things I would like to do in the New Year. Over the last year I have come to the realisation that I am sadly one who looks at and admires the skills of others, wishes fondly that I could do the same, but never actually pursue these things. Therefore! This year, I am going to do my best to make sure I at least TRY to participate in the things that I love and interest me. Here is a working list;

1) Have planned at least 1 wedding for a someone by the end of the year
2) Have set up some sort of gameplan for the possibility of becoming a wedding planner
3) Take a culinary course
4) Take a photography course
5) Develop a sense of motivation! haha in order to be consistant about exercising.
6) try making a new food dish at least once a week.
7) be creative whenever possible :)

That's all for now, but I'm sure I'll think of more. :)

Where the Tree Tops Glisten...

So it is 10 days til christmas and I've yet to buy any christmas gifts! how terrible is that? Granted there isn't really any money to buy christmas gifts with, but even so, not even bought stocking stuffers. for shame! I have, however; managed to decorate a little in the flat, which has made everything feel a little more christmasy.

I've put lights on the mantle piece, but obviously not in this photo.



I have since put fairy lights around the frame.



I wish i had a better camera...
Anyway, Merry Christmas!

oops

Note to self: check spelling of important titles before saving forever!

my husband informed me i've spelled Geordy incorrectly, and considering he is one...it is deeply offensive to him. I feel ashamed. And I don't think I can change the title of the blog once it's made!! :P Doh.

Our Wedding

So Ithought I'd finally put up some photos of a few elements of our wedding. The following are a few photos of the invitations which my super talented husband designed himself. We had a very very limited budget so ended up getting them printed at your average commercial printers, so although ideally in a world where money is no object we would have loved to have them letterpressed, i think they turned out pretty awesome.

I need some better photos. Will take and post some of all the individual pieces of the invites, as well as our save the date card which we also made ourselves!

Should also say that our method for addressing the invites was a brilliant idea i found on www.Oncewed.com in the diy section where you print in a similar colour to the envelopes the address onto the envelope itself and then proceed to write over the writing so create some much better handwriting than would have otherwise appeared. Plus you save money on hiring a colligrapher.

Little slice of cuteness...

Love these.

They are sold at CupcakeSocial on Etsy.com with a lot of other styles.

Makes me wanna open a cafe/cake shop.

Smooth like butter...

These are a few dresses I was coveting on Etsy from sarahseven's shop (her website is www.sarahseven.com.) Such beautiful dresses,...a few 100 over my price range but gorgeous none-the-less.
