GRADUATION!!!!

So I know it's been a while since I was last on here but I have been a little busy. But I promise to be around more from now on.

So on the 16th January 2014 it was Graduation Day :) Even though we finished University in June, our University decides that Graduation should take place in January 6 months after we have finished. Despite the long wait, it was a lovely day :)

(Me, after the ceremony)

It was lovely to catch up with everyone again and to see how they are all getting on. 

Then the following day on 17th, it was Tim's Graduation, and I managed to get a ticket :) 

                                                              

                                                            (Me and Tim, on his Graduation)

I had a lovely two days, and it was a shame when it came to an end

It's been a while!

So it's been a few days since I was last on here, and a busy week it has been.

Firstly I went to see Frozen while I was still in Portsmouth, and I absolutely loved this film, I want my own little snowman :)

On Sunday I left Portsmouth and travelled back to Birmingham, an extremely long 5 1/2 hours on the coach, especially as the coach was so hot and stuffy.

As I have a lot of books and I like them to be in order, I decide on Monday to take all my books off my bookcase so I could sort them out.

(this was the end result)

Myself and Aimee (my sister) then spent time putting all the books I owned into the correct order via author/series. 

This was the final result :) My book case containing all my books that I own. I did a quick count and realised that I own 189 books. 

I also organised all my candles and it turns out that I have 304 candles, I think it's fair to say I should be on a wax buying ban, but maybe not a book buying ban :).

A week today, will be my Graduation, after four years of hard work, and having to wait since last June when we actually finished University it will be good to finally be able to Graduate. Still don't have anything to wear though :/ am going shopping on Saturday though and will find something :D 

Books, Boots and other pretty things!!

So today while the other half was at work, I went and did a little bit of shopping :)

Now the first two items I brought was these two books which were on my list of books to buy as I am trying to obtain the whole collection from certain authors, these were from a charity shops and only cost me £3.50 for the pair :D.

Next stop was Waterstones, which I 'fell' into and I picked up these two books which in my defense were on buy one get one half price, I have been told by my sister on countless occasions that I needed to read the book by John  Green so now I can :)

 Now due to my other half deciding yesterday that he wanted to go for a walk (in all the wind and the rain may I add lol) my boots decided it didn't like the weather and started to split (think they were on the way out anyway) so today I had to buy some new boots, which are near enough the same as my other ones, (I do want to get a black pair at some point though)

 Following on from the boots crisis, I found myself in the 'craft section' of TKMAX :P I managed to bag myself a 12x12 paper pad from American crafts of the Front Porch collection, and I also bagged a collection pack which includes 18 double sided sheets of 12x12 paper and a pack of black thickers, this is from the collection from Dear Lizzy called Lucky Charm, which is super cute and I already have some of the embellishments to go with the collection.

 And finally, after around two years of wanting to get this Pandora charm I have finally managed to get a hold of it, I think it is super cute and just perfect for a Gingerbread lover like myself.

Now after a busy day of shopping, I am now going to spend the rest of the night reading my book, nearly finished it and only started it last wk :)

2014 and things to come :)

So it's now 2014 and what better way to start off the new year than by starting off a brand new blog eeekkkkk.

This blog will be filled with posts surrounding all the things me, ranging from what books I have brought, to what I am reading, to reviews on books I have read. What candles I am burning (Huge Yankee Candle fan), to what crafting projects I am working on.

Along side these fun posts will be general posts about life, from job searching to job searching, Graduation and family :) 

Look forward to taking you along with me on this journey :)
