Turning 30

Not sure what I think of turning thirty yet...

I do know that this is not really the place I expected to be in my life by the time I was 30. That doesn't meant I am not in a good place, just not in the cliche "supposed to be" place I imagined when I was 20...

I am extremely blessed to have Mike in my life. This past weekend has been a shining example of that I have have honestly felt overwhelmed with a sense of undeserving.
I have almost had some wonderful amazing people come to my life... for a moment, or a while or for my lifetime and each of them has in some small way helped in shaping me into this person. I am gratful to them all.

In some ways this huge number is feeling more like new years... I have this very very strong sense of making resolutions, positive changes, little changes but good ones. Trying to look after myself, spring cleaning my life and not allowing myself to re clutter... and mostly trying to appreciate the time I have and spending more of that time with the people I am so lucky to have in my life.

Before I turn 30....

Lately...

...I've loved...

this book...
this movie...
op shopping...
my boyfriend more than ever...
& organising someones 30th birthday party...
...see if you can guess the theme...

Lovestory

OK so next weekend it's THAT day...
you know the one you love to love,
or just can't stand.

Me, I love any excuse to celebrate anything... and I love love.

See for me Valentines Day shouldn't be about the cards, the chocolates (what am I saying I love chocolates) or the flowers. It should be about setting aside a little time to have cuddle, watch a soppy dvd or a picnic somewhere pretty. It doesn't have to come with a groan or a $100 price tag.

Anyway I'm going to scrap a little tomorrow... and I wanted to invite you to join me in a little challenge.

Scrap your love story. How did you meet your SO? How did you go from that's that guy, and this is me, to this is us. Link me up before the big day and I might pop a lil something something in the post for someone..

Paint crazy

Yip I'm a useless promise keeper :) But I get a tummy bug on the weekend which threw me out a little... PLUS I decided to add some photos to the other layout I was going to share so that's on the back burner for now. I have this on those of our ritual to get our Christmas tree... every year we take AGES to find one and it sometimes gets ugly :)

Had a bit of fun with the paint haha. Love it though and can't wait to scrap again really soon.
Mainly I've been trying my best to get lots of kits sorted for The Little Things... I've uploaded one already and off to take photos of the next one so keep those eyes peeled!!! I want to really get the kits rolling this year so add the site to your blogroll or make it your homepage haha ;) jokes. Right I'm off to work - back toschool is the busiest type of year for a stationery buyer! Be kind to your retailers mums and dads!
