HOORAY MAGAZINE + HAPPY WEEKEND

I kind of chuckle at the phrase 'fun bags', but this truly was a fun bag of goodies that arrived yesterday. The new 'Hooray!' Magazine packaged up in a cool tote. All Australian, all inspiring. Even the cover has me excited. I can't wait to dig in!
But...I don't think that will be happening till later next week. We are moving house this weekend. So it's all boxes and unpacking I think. This little winner is going to have to wait a little longer to be savoured slowly. Magazines are totally my little indulgence. I love sitting down, browsing and wishing...What about you?

Have a great weekend! x

SPRING LONG WEEKEND HAPPINESS

We've had a long weekend here this weekend. It marks the beginning of camping season apparently. And I'm told the chances of snow from here on out are reduced heaps. (A friend told me that the only month of guaranteed, no snow, is July...yikes! : ) So fingers crossed, this lovely weather will be sticking around!

We brought our bikes over here, so we dusted those off last week and have been riding most days since it's been nice out. Having the wind in your hair (err...helmet) and sun on your body, just brings a smile to my face. Love it, love it, love it!

I've also been envying all those attending the NSS this week. I've been ogling at all the booth displays in my instagram feed (@polkadotprints). So inspiring. I dream of one day having my own stationery & party line! Wouldn't that be fun. : )

I'm also working on projects for Christmas (ahhh yes, it is only May...crazy!) so lots of ideas needing to be put down on paper and designed this week. Happy week to you! xo

P.S I just had to include these two pics. Ahhh my little girl...love her!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING ::WEEKEND WHIPAROUND

I can't get enough of the autumn leaves around the place at the moment. I can understand why this is many people's favourite season. I've been told it doesn't last for long before the wind comes and blows them all away, so I'll make the most of these brilliant golden colours! Ellie and Levi had a blast in these leaves at the zoo recently. They could have stayed there for ages. Cheap fun eh?

We're off for the long thanksgiving weekend. I hope you enjoy some time with your own families and eat some (or a whole lot of) turkey!

Here are a few fun things from around the web for this weeks weekend whiparound - enjoy!

:: Awesome stroller-bike
:: Show your logo some love with these branding tips
:: Who would you give one of these writing kits to? Also love this & this version
:: Make sure you check out this new blog

P.S. You may have noticed my lack of autumn crafts....ooops. Just haven't been feeling it, and need to get over my aversion to the stereotypical orange at this time of year, I know there are plenty of other colours! I'd love it if you shared your fave 'fall' or autumn craft project in the comments. Then maybe I'll have some inspiration filed away for next year!

P.P.S I'm so thankful for you! Thankful when you stop by and read my blog. Thankful when you comment or send me emails. So, so thankful! xo
