Christmas = family time

This year as with every year we all make it out to my grandmother's house for Christmas day dinner, chestnuts, classic carols... I love looking through old picture albums, found my grandparents wedding pictures...just lovely.









I always thought my grandpa looked like Buddy Holly

DIY corkboard frames

Lately I have been writing notes to myself, you know notes that consist of shopping lists, future goals, New Year's resolutions and even some inpirational pictures. I am a writer so I have to constantly write things down. The problem is I have officially filled my planner and journal and have taken to writing on random things like take out menus and even the plain white envelope that my visa bill comes in! So I knew I needed to get a corkboard made and fast.

I decided to go with G (my man) to Walmart where I picked up 2 cork frames for $5 bucks each. I bought some black grosgrain ribbon and the rest (cardstock, white paint, hot glue) I had.

While I would love to say how super fast and easy it was to make, I would be lying. I found that the frames I bought were like shiny veneer so I had to prime them and paint them like 10 times ( okay maybe more like 7) before the paint would really cover the frames. So if you plan this sort of project I would suggest a frame that is unfinished because it would have saved me a lot of time and paint for that matter!







But from this point, after the paint had dried the process went smoothly. I had some Martha Stewart cardstock which went well with the greeny/blue accent colour in my room and I added the black grosgrain with hot glue inside the inner frame, banged some nails into the wall, and ta da! instant inspiration board.








I know it looks rather sparse but I will be adding to it daily :)

Silver beaded Garland

I felt as though something was missing from my tree...yup the title gave it away, so off I went in search of some tree filler or as I like to call it garland. I found this 100 ft. one in silver at Walmart, bought it and didn't think twice that 100 ft. is a lot to unravel. One hour later in the midst of untangling my new garland I was about to give up, but I kept on and am truly happy with the results. I love my twinkling tree, oh and by the way I did not use all 100 ft. although you may see the leftover in a DIY some time in the future!

Cork

Since making my own DIY cork board frames for my room office nook I seem to have nothing but cork on the brain! So I guess it only seems fitting that I should post some of my favourite pictures of cork board frames that inspired my own.

Remember when your mother attempted to teach you temperance with some naff lesson about the grass not being greener on the other side? Clearly she'd never been shopping to Japan where shoppers cannot only shop Burberry Prorsum to their heart's content, but Japanese men and expats alike can indulge in the Burberry Black Label; a label exclusive to Japan.

Tren fashion Syles 2009

So used to the sheer fashion trend are fashionisers, that to make it stand out in 2010 is going to take some serious styling work. On the face of it, it's going to have to be worn at either extremes of girly or sexually confident.

The look above, spotted by Mr. Newton goes somewhat towards the latter interpretation.

And while I say extreme, I don't mean going all the way to the point where confidence is the new black. I doff my hat to you if you have that much confidence though.
