ooh gosh. Too naughty. It's been...14 DAYS since I posted last! Aggh! I didn't realise it was THAT bad! :( Bad Lucy. I wonder if anyone still visits! :) Thankyou for your patience with me!
BUT the good news is this time I have things to say and to show :)
My birthday was so lovely. I spent the day with James... which is rare these days because he's a busy boy... so he took time off uni and we went to the city for Japanese lunch and strolling and shopping :) It was really lovely. I also got spoilt with wonderful presents...
from Mum - a set of 36 copic markers that I have been wanting (thanks to goraina for the recommendation!). I bought from this great ebay shop where they were nearly half the cost of buying them here and they arrived very quickly...
from James - some gorgeous Japanese craft books I have been coveting forever... pictures later - but it included this one... AND a subscription to my favourite (and Holly's!) Aussie interiors magazine 'Inside Out'... AND.. um... a hair straightener which I didn't want/need... :( uh oh. I kind of feel really bad because James couldn't return it and now we have a $170 voucher to petra hair care! Aggh! What on earth are we gonna do with that?
from My brother - this interiors book I have been wanting forever too... (it's much better inside than it looks on the cover...)
and bought with my birthday money from my gran and grandad THIS BEAUTIFUL book! check out this picture.... -
(actually I just scanned another gorgeous picture but when I tried to upload it it said I couldn't because it would exceed my server limit or something... uummmm... hope James can come to my rescue so I can share more wrapping paper goodness soon! There are so many good pictures in this book that I think I will need to stagger the entries and upload a new wrapping paper every week :)
YES so all in all it was a lovely day and I was spoilt rotten. :)
AND THEN we went to Daylesford for the weekend... which was also lovely... so relaxing and again more time with James all to myself which is a rare and wonderful thing :) We stayed in a cute little unit (with a spa in the bathroom!) and relaxed and had spas and slept a lot and walked around and went to the Sunday trash and treasure market and ate food and breathed fresh air.... mmmm must do more of that kind of thing.
Anyway... more to say but I'm getting tired.... thanks for reading :)
ps) am I the last person to find out about this Flickr pool? I am loving it! Lots of Japanese craft book action... I'm only up to page 35... I get very compulsive sifting through gorgeous lists like this... don't wanna miss a single thing... ! x
