Road Trip

This week we took a road trip up to Newcastle. On the way up we stopped off at The Angel of the North which was really incredible!



 
The main purpose of the trip however was to see Disney on Ice!


My favourite bits were anything related to The Lion King and The Little Mermaid!

Incoming from my Lovely Letters pal + more!

There were three fun items in my post box today! My first letter from Petrova which was really great to get and I am looking forward to getting to know you more! Your mail from me will arrive on Monday! Also here's the contents of my Lovely Letters (task one) mail - many thanks Tully!
The contents of my post box (minus the bills!)
Tully's mail arrived really quickly from Australia! I absolutely love everything inside. I really enjoyed reading the letter. I treasure all the words that people share about themselves and I'm looking forward to continuing with the project with you.   
I was just thinking the other day that I could do with making some funky envelopes so thank you for the map and the storybook envelopes. It's inspired me to make some - I have a template I just need to get on with it!
The washi tape bunting is really really fab! I'm going to hang this over a picture on the wall in the dining room. I'll have to have a go at this project myself with my washi tapes and send you one with my designs hehee! Swapsies!
 In other news - I may have moaned on before about the lack of Washi tapes in the UK! I get a bit giddy when I've ordered some from another country (Japan and USA) via Etsy...
The Etsy packages are always so creative and thoughtful which certianly makes it worth the wait (and also encourages you to shop there more often)!
I'm excited to make some neon stationery! I have lots of ideas in the pipeline. Maybe I shall make some time this weekend amongst the house 'stuff'...all work and no play and all that!

Biggest outgoing mail ever is on its way tomorrow!

I think I have excelled myself this time! Thank you for the recent requests to be pen pals and thank you to those who accepted my requests! I am pleased to say that this great big stash will be posted tomo and I'm super excited for them to reach you all! Please let me know when you get them ladies and gentlemen. Here's a sneak preview...
There's 15 parcels here in total! All with a treat or two inside..why? Because I love sending treats!

I decorated lots of envelopes with wallpaper and pretty card
Something for Shannah - I bet you can guess chick!

I was pleased to find that Sharpie have gone pastel! They were on offer too.

Lovely Letters Update

I'm glad I saw a post regarding Lovely Letters because I didn't get my email with my partners address on the 01/10/12. I notice there has been other comments left from others in the same position. However, after leaving a comment on the Kitty and Buck page I now have my partners email address so I have made contact to get her address! I'm now on with Task 1 because they're asking it's sent by 09/10/12. I haven't had an email from anyone to get my address for this project yet... I hope the project works because I liked the sound of it and I love new (and old) friends! If you're taking part and would like some packaging ideas etc see here.
UPDATE: I've now swapped addresses with someone who has creative ideas just like me! Can't wait to send the mail on Monday!
