Happy Monday!

The beginning of another week...

Wow how quick the weekend goes!

Monday's aren't all that fun,

But...

I have something that I wanted to share with you that made me just want to dance all day today...

Music can turn any day around,

Music can bring a smile to my face no matter how bad the day has been.

This is a video that just makes me want to dance...

Which is what I have been doing all evening... 

Thank goodness for having the house to myself at the moment...

No one to witness my moves! 

Enjoy!

Song Of The Moment...

I have always been a big fan of Michael Buble.

And his newest album I LOVE!
I also love this video, it's cute.

Paper Planning...

A few weeks ago I saw a couple of people posting photos of their filofax planner.
Their photos looked awesome! Bright, full of colour and organised!
I started looking for more photos and then watching videos on YouTube...
Instantly I fell in love with the idea and knew that I needed to do it myself.
So the hunt was on for a planner that I liked...
In the future I will buy a Filofax- I have my eye on these beautiful filofaxs.

After a bit of hunting I feel in love with a Kate Spade planner...

I am currently waiting this beautiful planner to arrive!
But I have already started to collect cute little things to decorate and organise my new planner.

I have also been hunting for inspiration thanks to Pinterest for so many ideas! So many ideas have been put into my pinterest filofax board.

I have also discovered a couple of awesome bloggers that have inspired me so much.
My most favourite one being Cathy Vee from Inside the Crafter's Studio. I love how bright and organised her planner is... plus she has the one i wish for!

I love her week on two pages layouts that she designed herself, which she has also shared on her blog for free, I think that they are set out so well with lots of room on each- my most favourite part is that Saturday and Sunday are separate days rather than sharing one slot.

I am so excited for the mail over the next few weeks, so many goodies are on their way out to me, I can't wait for them to arrive!!

Will share more in the future about ideas that I have for my new planner and the new purchases that I make.

Words Of Inspiration...

Dear Brisbane,
It is good to be back! I am loving the warmer weather! 10 Degrees hotter than Tasmania! Love it!

Dear Personal Trainer,
Thanks for missing me while I was on holidays, so sweet of you... But you really didn't have to give me the present last night of a killer training session that you have been planning for the past two years. Thank you really shouldn't have.

Dear Back,
We were getting along so long, now we are back to not speaking terms. Stop being mean!

Dear New Macbook pro,
I love you, I am seriously a Apple girl for life! Now all I need is a iPad and an iMac to top it off and I will be one happy Apple girl!!

Dear Dessert,
You were meant to be yummy... But nope you definitely were not, I'm going to put it down to the recipe... not my cooking... serves me right, I am meant to being good at the moment, eat health not eating desserts.

Dear Pinterest,
Thank you for providing inspiration for recipes, craft projects and gifts. Yes I may be a tad bit addicted to Pinterest but heck, I see it as a good and beneficial addiction.

Dear Blog,
I am glad to be back blogging, it's not the easiest coming back, I find that I am struggling with inspiration but I am working on solving that problem... but if anyone has any suggestions on how to get inspiration for blogging that would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Readers,
I hope that you are all having a great week so far! HAPPY HUMP DAY! Bring on the weekend!!

Life Lately...

Life over that past few months...

With the exeption of my trip to Tasmania, which I will up date you with in separate post.

 Gym life, being a good girl,

Loving my new gym shoes and bag!

Have the best personal trainer.

Will update you more about this topic later on...

 My very first AFL game.

Had awesome corporate seats, with great views

Looking forward to going to see another game in the future.

 Love my Polaroid photos!

Starting to use my Polaroid camera more recently.

Got some of my instagram photos printed up as well!

 My biggest frustration over the couple of months

One injury after another, 

Finally had my back in a good way, then hurt my wrist, then my ankle.

Then I got one month injury free and now it looks like my back has decided to flare up again 

(Oh how I hate my body!)

 Being creative,

Love sending fun things in the mail to friends!

 Reading, Love these books.

Such powerful words, so inspiring!

 Delicious food!

So yummy!

Random photos...

Flower I sent to a member at work... made the wife cry (good tears) and the husband was so happy, he kiss my hand lol.

Got to see and listen to Elder Oaks in person... one word... AMAZING!!!

Cool little stool that me and my sister found on the side of the road, going to do it up and use it as a side table.

I promise that I will try to keep you more up to date in the future.

I will also over the next few days update you on my trip to Tasmania, and my new gym habit.

Hope you all have a great day!

A Girl Can Dream...

Every girls dreams of this day...

Here are a sneak peak of my one day someday special day...

When they sent out the wedding invitations they asked everyone to RSVP with a piece of fabric, then they used each piece to create a quilt.

I have a love for polaroids!

This is my type of guest book!

My love for scrabble continues!

Each of the bridesmaid give the bride their favourite love stories with a note inside.

I love the look of books and pages as decorations.

Continuing with the book pages, to hold rose petals.

Favours for people to take home, love this idea!

Bitter Sweet

At the moment I am currently on Holidays in Tasmania- My home state. 

For those of you new to my blog, I move from Hobart, Tasmania to Brisbane, Queensland last year in September. This trip home has been my first trip back since moving.

I have been here for just over two weeks. And this is my last 24 hours in the state before heading back to Brisbane.

The trip has been great, I have loved being able to catch up with all my family and friends down here. I have really realised how much I have missed Tasmania, it is a gorgeous place and has so many people here that I love and care about. 

It has hit me today just how much I have missed it, and right now I am currently in a bitter sweet mood about it all. 

I missing being around my parents and family, and friends here in Tasmania, and I also miss the gorgeous state that it is, if I could I would live in the country- it is so beautiful!

But I love my where I work in Brisbane, I have an awesome team. I love the gym I go to and I have a awesome personal trainer! I also love the new places to discovers up there. Plus I get to be closer to my sisters which I love. 

If only those two places could combine I would be extremely happy!

Moving to a new place hasn't been easy, a couple of months ago my anxiety and pain attacks came back at full strength and catch me off guard, normally I am good at watching the signs and catching it early enough to do something about them, but this time they got a bit out of control. 

I have also found it hard opening up to people and making new friends. I have always kind of struggled with this, I have always been a shy person, but moving state has just made me realise just hard hard I have found this to be.

Definitely a bitter sweet end to my holidays, it will be interesting to see where I end up over the next few months with work and life, in August it will be all up in the air a bit... it scares me but I am putting my trust in the Lord and the plan that he has install for me.

Broken and disconnected...

hello blogging world...

First of all let me just apologize for not blogging much this year. But I have semi good reasons...

Reason number 1:

I have moved house and only have the Internet via my phone (which is limited to not much!) as we haven't got the Internet connect yet... Hopefully soon!

Reason number 2:

Broke  computer... So at the moment I am holiday(Yay!) and I decided today to take the time to write some big catch up blog post plus be organized and do some pre-written blog post... But half way through this process... Ok more like 5 mins into this process... My trackpad on my Mac laptop stopped working!! Now I can't use it at all.

But I have missed blogging and really really want to start to blog again so in the mean time while I am getting fixed and reconnect, I will be posting my blog post via my Blogger iPhone app... (Never use it before hopefully it works well, and my posts don't look too bad!)

But the main this is... I AM BACK!!!

Miss you all, hopefully there are still some readers out there somewhere! Say hi if you are still there!
