i like this idea for a backdrop for a wedding:

from kate at design*sponge

its our 3 year 10 month-aversary

We always used to go out for our month-aversaries... but the last few months we've let it slide with all sorts of other crap getting in the way - and with xmas approaching we've got no hope of a retrieval... i think its nice to make an effort once a month or so to keep the spark alive, no? In other news, we got bought a car, a '99 VW Polo, she's black and called black betty and we're going to decorate her interior just as soon as we can! having wheels = new forest in autumn and dates with me & T.

excited? yes.

Its gold and has a use. I'm sold.

You know when you order some tasty goodies online and you get their newsletter/catalogue? Well I love this. Not eco friendly I know but its like shopping - at home - without spending. That's ME friendly for sure! So this week we got the firebox.com catalogue, full of geeky gadgets and crazy bits and bobs its always worth a look...found some ace stocking fillers for T (even though he would genuinely rather a stocking full of Haribo's).

I found this and wanted to share... its a iPod dj. Shaped like a cassette. A GOLD CASETTE! Whoop! We're thinking that we might get a wee band and no dj - or neither one, but we would use our iPod's or our guests and this could make it fun! I could totally rival grand master flash with this. I met him once, with 3 sisters who awesomely made friends with his 'crew' and got us on the bus! Good times.

Look at this! ASOS strikes again!

I have been a bit slack with the old posts lately - been crazy busy at work and have had mega loads of crafting in prep for xmas to do. I have made a bit of progress but still a long way to go! In the meantime I have been perusing asos (wanted to show T a head band and ring*) and I saw this which in my opinion would be an awesome addition to any brides attire!! And £40? I love a bargain me...!

* ps thinking of getting a ring made to my taste cause i'm struggling to find what I want exactly...I'm thinking topaz or ruby BIG and then vintage silverwork with some tiny tiny tiny diamonds (brown ones if i go ruby)... mmm we'll see!

all change! toot toot...!

So its all change on the soon-to-be-smith front! We have cut the budget and moved it forward so its now going to be October 2012, its going to be cheaper but still with all the bits we want with just less of the bits we don't need...we are moving the moving to Australia bit forward to by 2 years so it'll be adios in September 2013... Can't wait. CAN'T WAIT.

In other news I am getting all xmassy and crafting all my hand made xmas gifts and enjoying it!
