30 Day Challenge_25_One Inch

Today I had a bit of fun thinking of things around my house, inside and outside that might be one inch! Not many things I tell ya!

#two in one inch

#so tiny

These I found in the grass... You know those annoying little weed flowers that just tend to grow everywhere. I think they are just so beautiful!

#blue peg

#cute

I love using these tiny pegs when making cards. They are just the cutest little things. So tiny!

#empty cello-tape ring

#a bit of fun

I found an empty cello-tape ring. I thought with the inside being exactly one inch I could create the illusion that Cleo's head could be one inch. I took heaps of shots doing this, but this one was totally my favourite.

30 Day Photo Challenge_1_Bright

Last week was literally the worst week of my life and defiantly nothing was looking very bright. My 9 month old was at Starship Children's Hospital battling a condition called intussusception (click on the word to find out more about the condition if you are interested). It was the most terrible experience I have ever gone through and could never wish it upon anyone else! On the #bright side, praise God for praying friends and family. He is back to normal... smiling and giggling!

On our first day of being back home we had a visitor who surprised me with some really beautiful #bright flowers. We have such a boyish house that there are never flowers in our house Heheheheee... So I totally appreciated receiving them.

Beautiful...

Day-29 A great Memory!

I always love seeing daisies. It brings back so many memories of when I was little. I don't know if kids still go outside these days to play with all the technology keeping them busy. When I was young we would always find a whole stash of daisies and make necklaces. Then it didn't matter to me that it wouldn't last because it would die. It was just the fun of collecting and making something from scratch.

Not the most outstanding flower, but there always seems to be an endless amount of them.

Day-8 A Gift From Someone!

I thought about this one..... and came up with three gifts. One I received years ago, one very recent and one I received today!

A gift I received years ago

When Quinton and I were still dating, which now feels like donkey's years ago, he bought me a ring which he placed in this jewellery box. No it was an engagement ring! It was much too soon then to pop that question. He was always full of surprises when we were dating. We walked past a random shop in the city one day and I really like the ring I saw in the window. Sorry to say I don't have the ring anymore... it was a very bling ring. Don't even have a clue where it might be. But anyways, if I ever said something was really pretty or I liked something he would make a way to surprise me by buying it for me. In most ways he hasn't changed. This time I would say I really like something, but will add that I don't want it, I just like it. LOL!!! This jewellery box is way too small these days to hold any of my jewellery, but I still love it so much. Don't think I could ever get rid of it.

A recent gift

My in-laws have recently done a bit of traveling and before they left my mother-in-law asked what would I love for her to bring back for me from Duty Free. Mmmmmmm the choices!!! I was running low on facial moisturizer, so that's what I requested. To my surprise I was gifted with this yummy facial moisturizer. I have never spent that much money on a moisturizer, so I treat it like gold. Been using it for a few weeks now and think I might have to invest in another bottle when this one is finished. It is so well worth it.

A gift I received today

We spend every Monday with my mum on her day off. Sometime during the day Levi brought me a few flowers at a time. Such a sweety!!! This was my little collection for the day. I forgot my camera at home, so had to wait till we arrived back home to take a photo of it. It's the only reason I have for them looking like they have totally had it. At least the little man always knows how to steal his mums heart!

While thinking of what pics to take for today... I was thinking of the reality that somethings can last forever, some for a while and some for not too long. Always appreciate the things you have while they last!
