some pretty in my mailbox...

about a month ago (i know... im a bit behind) i received the loveliest little parcel in my mailbox! Micaela over at Dolce Vita hosted a giveaway and i was the lucky winner!!! I nearly didn't enter because i thought that there was no way i would be that lucky... :) it came right in the middle of marking season and made my whole week! As well as the goodies pictured above, there was also a fabulous mix c.d that has been on repeat in my car and a mug which has been in use since it arrived! Thank you SO much Micaela!

Micaela might just be the sweetest lady in all of blog land - you should definately pop over and visit her charming blog!

p.s - i hope you have all had a lovely easter/ANZAC day long weekend!

DIY gift tags

a big hello and welcome to all my new readers!! just a reminder that the giveaway will be ending at midnight tonight!!! a winner will be drawn and posted tomorrow so stay tuned!!

*************

last weekend i was lining some drawers with this awesome paper i found at the op shop (3m for $1 - woohoo). i had some scraps left over and it was way too pretty to throw away so i turned it into some pretty gift tags.



it was super easy - all you need to do is cut to the size you want, round the corners with a punch or scissors, glue the card and paper together, punch a hole in the top and thread some twine through. and you are ready to go!

p.s - i had my first ever migrane on the weekend - i did not care for it! any tips for how to cope if it happens again??

some mail...

my mailbox was a very happy place on tuesday! the super rad Jes sent me a little pacel for my birthday complete with a handmade card, some tea and this lovely heart garland :) i have hung it up in my sewing room (this is the only room that is semi-unpacked at this stage - priorities much? haha)! Jes and i have some mutual friends and at the moment she is living and teaching with her new hubby out in the WA desert. we are both in a wedding together in a couple of weeks time so it will be lovely to catch up with her :) pop on over and say hi at her lovely blog!!

i also got a swap parcel from pip as part of gracie's 'just because you're lovely' swap. there were some lovely vintage fabrics and scarves and some seeds to i can get started on my vegie garden!!! woohoo! she also included some jewellery that she made herself. pip is about to open up an etsy store in the next few days so stay tuned over at her blog. to see what i sent her have a look over here...
