This was such a busy weekend, can't believe Sunday has almost finished.

I have listened to a lot of music this weekend as I have been trying to copy my cd's to my itunes (one of the things on my 2013 list).

I can't stop listening to this beautiful song, enjoy.

I love these and they are so appropriate for what's happening in my life at the moment.

I remember Polaroid photos from when I was a little girl. My sister and I took photos and then waited excitedly to see what the photo would look like. I found this amazing website called Sweetly Scrapped where you can use the photos you have and make them look really cool, like little polaroid photos. 

Some of the ones I really like are below but check out other ones here.

This year started so well and then I got sick again! for like the third time in the last month! I am changing my diet and am trying to drink only one coffee a day which is very, very hard!

Last year I made a list of things I wanted to do so I am going to continue and will have a 2013 list as well. 

Here is the list of things I want to achieve/see in 2013 in no particular order!

1. Have Afternoon tea in Ritz
2. Go to a vegan restaurant
3. Visit Istanbul
4. Learn to meditate
5. Read more, watch less tv 
6. Learn to knit
7. Get fit (this should be my number 1)
8. Transfer all CDs to my iTunes
9. Discover 5 new restaurants/pubs
10. Go surfing (learn how to, I guess one lesson in Australia 10 years ago doesn't count!)

Some of these projects are amazing and so easy to do!

This is great, turn the nice little shelving unit around and add couple of hooks and...

It feels like so much has happened in the last couple of days; friends getting engaged and friends announcing their pregnancies etc. really cool, positive time of the year. This poster sums it all up! Can't wait for 2013, i believe that it will be the best year ever!
