Pink and Red

Pink and Red make for a pretty colour scheme. Macaroons. Outfit. Flower.

Garden Party

This post at dress design decor has me wanting to host a little english-countryside-style garden party of my own. Image from here.

**Edit: My garden party will definitely have French Macarons and pretty cakes, all topped with rose petals and dusted with icing sugar.

Flower Diamantes

I know I'm nowhere near to getting married soon, but when I do will someone please remind me of these pretty flower diamantes? I know they're probably not ground-breakingly new, but I was intrigued by the way they catch the light in the first photograph. Photos from Chelsea Anne Photography.

1001 Journals

Hey guys, sorry for the lag in posts lately, I've just finished holidays and am now back at school, which means I have less time to devote to cool stuff. How sad. Luckily, I know of some rather loverly and exciting projects to share with you, so I hope all is forgiven.

I'll start off with my absolute favourite: 1001 Journals.

Now, I've had trouble explaining this to people before, so bear with me. It's not that it's a brilliantly complex idea, it's just that I'm not very good at talking. Sorry.

Anyway, 1001 Journals is a project which aims to connect the world with creativity. (Does that not sound like the most amazing thing already?) It centres around people creating journals, which can contain writing, drawing, painting, collage, photos or basically anything that you can fit on a spread of pages. The journals are split into three categories and scans of spreads are posted to the site. The three categories are: personal journals, location journals and personal journals.

Personal journals are journals that you create yourself and scan then post to the site.

Location Journals stay in one public location (such as a cafe, library or whole city). Anyone can contribute to a location journal as long as they visit the location. I think this would be a great way to document the feel of a specific community.

Lastly, Travelling Journals are my favourite of the three, simply because of their sheer unpredictability. A travelling journals is sent by mail to a list of people from all over the world who have signed up to receive it. These journals can be invite-only, themed or everything and anything, if you'd like.

I love it. 1001 Journals is free to register for everyone, and you can even get some free stuff if you send them a nice letter. The only slight problem would postage to the next person if you contribute to a travelling journal, but that's about it. The 1001 Journals site is also great to just have a look around. You can sift through all of the 3300+ journals looking at all the different contributions. Rather intriguing, I'd say.

If you want, you could also check out my travelling journals that I have started - #3341, #3350 and #3346 though, they haven't much in them because, well, I'm lazy. I haven't even sent one of them yet. Feel free to sign up to one, If you'd like.

Happy journaling and hopefully I will be sharing more projects with you soon.

Wow. That was a long post.

Mismatched Thoughts

I've been thinking and I've decided that I don't really like the look of the blog at the moment, particularly the header. It's just not me. Expect a change soon, or possibly in about a year, considering how lazy I am. Do any of you have any ideas, or any feeling/colours/mental images he blog gives you?

Also, in unrelated news, I've decided that I want in on LookBook. And that means I need an invitation. I know you can get code words from various blogs around, but sometimes they're way past expiring and ultimately it would feel like cheating anyway. So, soon shall be a post showing lookbook what I have to offer to the community (maybe with a little pleading).

Tomorrow (Toady, since it's so late) I'm off to see confessions of a shopaholic.

Have fun my dear readers, you are loved.

Footer

Header

I'm curious to know your opinion on the new header and footer of the blog. I mean, you're the ones who have to look at it. I like the footer and I did like the header but now I'm beginning to dislike it... very much. I really need to find a header that I like and stick to it, I think. The footer was originally an animated slide show but I couldn't get it to upload to blogger, so I left it as is. What's your opinion on them? (Don't hold back!) Please comment, even if you're only stopping by.

Black and White

Here are a few photo's from my black and white birthday dinner party, which was held last night. Lots of fun.

Now I'm off to eat something warm and toasty for no particular reason. Love.

Earth Hour

After reading That Unreliable Girl's myriad of posts about earth hour, I've been inspired (rather, wooed by these brilliant pictures) to take part in this event. If you don't know what Earth Hour is, I strongly encourage that you click here to learn more. The only problem is that I'll be watching The Boy From Oz at my birthday party for the whole hour (Tickets have been bought and invites have been sent). So, I've had to settle for getting all of you readers involved and telling my mother that she has to turn out all the lights while I'm out. Earth Hour is scheduled for 8:30 pm, your local time, Saturday 28th March. One hour. It doesn't take much to make a difference.

P.S. I must admit, although I am an environmentally minded person, the main purpose of this post was to show you these pretty pictures. I hope you like them.

Sound wave bracelets

I found these over at the Make magazine blog and I think they're pretty cool. I love the design idea - theyre a custom bracelet of a soundwave renered in 3D. They're actually part of some anti-drug campaign or something; the idea being that a parent records an anti-drug related message and the kid keeps it with them always. I would make a bunch of these for my friends, but unfortunately I can't see anything on the site about recording non-drug-related messages. How sad.

Remind me again?

I like these because they both remind me of eachother.

I also like them because they remind me of jelly.

I don't relly like jelly though.

Journal. Dress.

Friendly Freckles

I'm loving these adorable freckle-smattered Blythe dolls. I think this cutie looks like my friend B. Trishiekoh has a whole post on them here.

It's Friday!

Ahh, Friday at last. I thought this week would never end.

Three wonderful things have happened today -

- I received this lovely 'I Like You' award from Trishiekoh. I'm so proud. :)

- I have discovered that I would love to start a collection of pretty glass bottles filled with single white flowers and display them on my shelf.

- I picked up a pair of knitting needles for 20 cents so I can start knitting my beret. 20 cents!

I like you too, Trishiekoh! I like you too.

Junk Polaroid

A family friend has unearthed an unwanted polaroid camera from her various amounts of junk. She said I can have it if I'd like. How wonderfully exciting!

Magical thinking at inchmark

This post over at inchmark is all too cute. You simply must read it.

It makes me want to have kids of my own. I fear I'm a little too young for the time being though.

When the time does come, I'm absolutely sure that one will have green eyes and another will be spanish-looking. But if they aren't, I'll still love them just as much. They will have beautiful names like Chloe, Bella, Rose and Luca.

They will be wonderful.
