Stamp happy

Seriously, stamping makes me happy! I just love a fresh clean page asking to be decorated!! This is what create for my to do list and I love it! 

Happy finds in my heart

When I started this blog I thought it would be about all the wonderful little finds in the various op shops I frequent. But as time goes on I've realised that in fact it's more about the happy finds in my heart. Things that make me smile each day.
I love that I have found a purpose with my blog other than spending money because that can only last so long before I a) run out if money and b) fill my house with clutter and things I don't really need!
So yay to all the happy little finds in yours and my life!

Doing more of what you love

Yesterday I walked into Kikki k (my fav stationary shop!) only to be pounced in by a staff member (aren't they super happy people! But really I don't blame them i'd be happy to be surrounded by gorgeous stationary too). Anyway, they wanted to see if I was keen for the Happiness sessions they are running. Got me thinking about my current life and work, I really love what I do but bring a bit quiet has me quietly worried. It's hard not to lose sight of what you really want and to be honest I am living my dream! I think I just want more- more success, more equipment, more photos, more people to take pics of, more love, more passion...and I don't know why because I have it all! Sometimes I just need to take stock of what I have. xx

Love these days

There are some days where it feels a bit ho hum and its on these days I need to remind myself that it's okay to have down time and to find time for relaxation instead of always pushing the barrel.
So after a crazy busy day at a junior lacrosse carnival I wanted to put my feet in the water (to relieve the ache!). And this is where we are! Love it : )

Every day is an Elk day!

There's no denying it- I'm a massive Elk Accessories fan! I simply love it and can't get enough of it!
I will work out what Elk item I want to wear for the day and then base my outfit around that. I love the simplicity, prettiness, class and style of their jewellery! Not to mention their bags, purses, clothes and shoes of which I have too! Ahhh..., life is bliss!
So I am going to attempt to capture what I wear everyday to show you my collection.
Here we go - the first one - a sweet little air balloon brooch. Cute as!

Before + After kids table

It's not very often I do before and agrees but when my little guy fluttered his eyes at me and said this roadside kids table would be perfect for his Lego I could resist! It still need a bit more cleaning up, perhaps a luck of paint on the legs but in the meantime it looks great and does the trick! The colourful space invaders contact worked a treat.

Happiness in a fingerprint

I still remember when I got this book through my school book club and how much joy it brought me! It still makes me smile and I love now doing the finger print pictures with my children. Over the years they have created little pictures for me and I simply adore them with their little fingerprints! Thank you Ed Emberley!
