Look at this gorgeousness I purchased yesterday!!

After being offline for nearly 2 months, the amount of feeds I have had to go through has been staggering!! So far I have managed to get them down to 810. Still a little way to go but I wanted to share some linkage with you all that I thought was worth mentioning AND that caught my eye AND so I don't forget about them just yet.....

They are in no particular order either:

 ♥  via The Creative Mama: they are on blogcation {cute word} at the moment but they are posting some oldies but goodies from the last year and I found this one on A Daily Routine printout to come in handy.

 ♥  via Life Through the Lens: Kristi posted this one in her annual blog hunt post of photographer Mandy Lynne. I just fell in love with one of her prints in her etsy store called Shades of Yellow.....so dreamy!

 ♥  via 74 Lime Lane: Kellie posted some how to links and I found this one really interesting!!

 ♥  via Frankie Magazine: loving these wallpapers right now, makes me feel like the weather is about to warm up here......bbbrrrrrrr

 ♥  via vol.25: how sweet are these little cupcakes! And you can download them and make your own little sweetnesses, just don't eat them!

 ♥  via Kenner Road: the last sale for kenner road {sniff} 28th July 2010 @ 10am pacific on etsy. So sad :(

 ♥  via My Four Hens Photography: M4H's is about to have it's first birthday party and there's always something awesome going on over at Sarah's.

 ♥  via Art as Life: I am so excited about getting my kit and taking this class hosted by the amazingly talented Debee! If there's no kits left at least you can still take her class.

 ♥  via the Art House Co-op: I am seriously thinking about this.....

 ♥  via A Thing For: I have a thing for this blog.

Enjoy the weekend!!

I can't believe we have hit mid year already!! Christmas pressies have been discussed, put on layby and some already purchased. Yes, I had loads of time on my hands whilst I had no internet so what better time to organize Christmas presents 6 months ahead of time...lol. I left everything till the last minute, last year, so I thought I would get a head start.
Mind you I also read a few books, then a few more books, and finished off with another 4 books just for the fun of it. It's strange when you have too much time on your hands then all of a sudden you can barely put a book down to get anything done. Go figure....

I managed to step back into my creative space last week for the first time since I've been offline! Can you imagine that? It was wonderful to to sit down and start creating in a spotless room. Boy, I had some fun!!

I was invited by sweet Tamar from the awesome kit club Tarisota, to be a guest designer for the month and of course I said YES!! They just released a new kit called 'Paper Treasures', the colors combination's are simply gorgeous and I just love all the little embellishments that Tamar hand picks that go so well together with the rest of the kit. Be sure to check out what else they have in the store at the moment as Tarisota also stocks fabric packs {as well as other goodies that take's Tamar's fancy} that co-ordinates perfectly with this month's collection as well as the August Style Studio {find out more about that HERE} Check out these projects I created with this month's kit:


Be sure to check out the gallery for close up's and to see what the other designer's created using this month's kit!! Thanks Tamar for inviting me over for the month ;)

That's it for today.....I am surfing around the net checking the latest releases for CHA.....I am head over heals for new 7 Gypsies and Pink Paislee/House of 3!! What are you loving right now and can you share a link please? Happy Days!!

......is this thing on??

YES.....I am back online, finally!! So much to catch up on, new blog post coming soon!!
