'Lets go to the Beach Beach!'

...'lets go to the waves!' Sunny day in Southerndown South Wales

We drew in the sand, we ate a picnic and we paddled up to our knees (weather may be mega hot but the sea was FREEZING!!)

Me and the bear :)

Leisurely day shopping

I spent this lovely sunshiny day shopping. I had a little splurge in the bargain store round the corner to top up my craft box.

I bought some white cards and envelopes for card making.

PVA - an essential, I use so much of it! I use it for all my decoupage projects.

The crazy birds! They clip onto things, I wanted some over christmas for my tree but the ones in Paperchase were really expensive! So when I saw these I had to get them. I want do something more creative with them. Any ideas?

A recent online purchase were these jelly lenses for your camera phone or digital camera.

A Beautiful Mess did a post on them and I just had to get some of my own!

I can't wait to take them out into the park later!

Finished at last!

I finished my paint by numbers! here it is: I cannot wait to hang this on the wall in our new flat!

I also have a new Chamilia bead, it is the thin one with yellow stones in. I think I will buy another so I have more yellow on my bracelet and so its symmetrical (sort of).

I got the bead from Ernest Jones

Do you have a charm bracelet? I would love to know which kind and what charms you have.

Sunny weekend!

Ive been enjoying the fabulous weather this weekend. Me and my boyfriend Benjamin spent Saturday viewing flats. because we are trying to save for a deposit to buy our own house sadly we will be moving from our beautiful flat to a cheaper one. We explored a new area of Cardiff and stumbled upon Thompson park, another pretty spot enclosed with an iron fence. It has a fountain and pond with ducks and lots of pretty trees and plants. The Victorians sure do know how to plan a park! Sunday me and a friend went to a car boot sale by the SEA! Wales rocks sometimes, check the view:
I bought some Mac eyeliner from a stall that had lots of great makeup for really cheap, including benefit and O.P.I nail polish. I also bought some card making bits from a crafty stall. I didn't buy anything second hand, since we are downsizing I showed a lot of restraint that I normally wouldn't. For instance there was a stall selling owl ornaments (I think someone was getting rid of their collection) the table was just covered in owls and owl pictures I would have had a field day usually! Then we went round the corner to Cosmeston a nature park with lakes and a medieval village. We just stuck to the lakes this time but I would love to go back soon.

More photos of birds, I like photographing them because they are constantly moving it feels like a real achievement when you actually get a good shot.

Painting

So since my week holiday has ended I havent had much time to blog or anything else really! My paint by numbers is still waiting to be finished I have nothing much else to say right now (boring I know sorry!) until next time, Emily x

Wreck This! Update

So you may have seen previous posts of mine about my 'Wreck this Journal' by Keri Smith. Here are my newest additions, still not feeling too creative at the moment. I don't know why maybe I have DIY overload? Looking at Pinterest everyday can be overwhelming!
