The only problem, is that I'm not sure who it came from, so that I can thank them, especially as it had all of my favourite things on it. So if you happen to read this ' thank you!'.
Also thank you Se'lah for organising this swap!

the gift of jewels...
A short while ago, the lovely Se'lah of Necessary Room organised the 'gift of jewels' swap, where those who participated sent a little token of love in the form of a letter, postcard, poem etc out into the world to their swap partner. I was so excited when I got back from manchester to find mine waiting for me...
The only problem, is that I'm not sure who it came from, so that I can thank them, especially as it had all of my favourite things on it. So if you happen to read this ' thank you!'.

love and doughnuts...
I'm back after a wonderful couple of days in Manchester to celebrate our wedding anniversary.
The hotel was fantastic and we chilled out; enjoyed cocktails and some lovely meals out. However the highpoint had to be the afternoon of our anniversary when we celebrated with a bottle of champagne and Krispy Kreme doughnuts, (which are impossible to find in the North of England) because it's the simple things that count when you're in love - right?
Oh and if you read my previous post, I did get to go to this exhibition!

love is in the air...
Happy Valentines Day!
It's my wedding anniversary on Tuesday, so we're off to Manchester tomorrow for a couple of days for a city break and I'm really looking forward to it.
I really want to see this exhibition Walls Are Talking while I'm there which is an exhibition of artists wallpapers, including people like Andy Wahol and Damien Hirst. I'm still trying to work out how to sell this to my o/h. He likes art and galleries but an exhibition of wallpaper - mmmm (lol!)
I'll be back on Wednesday with lots of photos, so until then - have a lovely beginning of the week!

new guilty pleasure...
Anyone who reads this blog will know what a huge book lover I am.
One of the things I've always wanted to do, is to keep a list of the books that I read in a year but somehow time, organisation etc etc has meant that I never got around to it. This year one of my resolutions was to try and do this, so imagine my excitment when I came across something on Char's blog that made me whoop with delight. As you can probably see there is now a link on my sidebar, (with pretty pictures!) of the books I've read in 2010. The link takes you to a site called goodreads.
Basically, on the site if you create a free account, you can list all the books you've read, the ones you want to and the ones you're reading at the moment. You can also link up to see what others are reading, join online book clubs on the site, and join discussions. Oh and you can get lovely wigets to add to your blog to show off your bookshelves.
Trust me this site is very addictive, before you know it, you've spent far too long and any guilt is only because I should be doing something else instead of getting sucked into the world of books. But hey, there are worst things - right? Come and join me on the dark side...!

a little love...
Back in January, (it seems so long ago now) I got a new mobile. My last one was a flip open one so the screen was protected but not this one. I meant to make/buy etc a case for it but in reality all I did was keep making sure there was something soft wrapped around it, (like a scarf *lol*) when it was in my bag, so I thought it was about time I showed it a little love...
I found myself some material that I'd never got around to using yet...
and made myself a little bird stencil from freezer paper. I've now realised how easy this is and will no doubt be making use of the freezer paper that has been sitting on my desk for the last few months! Added a little free hand embroidery and voila...
I'm sure my phone loves me more for it...
It didn't even take that long - I'm not sure why I didn't get around to doing this earlier...
Talking of love, I hope you all had a lovely Valentines Day. We don't make that big a deal of it as our wedding anniversary is on the 16th February but I did get some roses which is kind of sweet, especially as the first roses I ever got from Mr C.Sunday ended up going in the bin, as we met someplace - he turned up with roses, I didn't have a bag, he did and to cut a long story short I forgot to take them home and by the time he discovered them the next day they were a little worse for wear! Still I think that's forgotten now!
But the best part of valentines day was going for a dog walk and seeing this guy...Is it just me or is love everywhere?...
