the smocked dress

Another polaroid taken at my friends house on the tea cup photo shoot.  

There is something so adorable about little girls smocked dresses, isn't there?

In the midst of summer

Summer....this year you have been the perfect mix of long hot sun drenched days, and cold snaps to remind us not to take you for granted.  The best days have been those spent out at the beach, and fingers crossed we get some more fantastic weekends when we load up the car and head out on an adventure....those are the days that both kids exclaim it was the best day of their lives, and make the car sicknesses, the sandy mess, the tiredness at the end of the day all worth it.

A tribute to the Hot Air Balloon tragedy

Words fail me.  

This is my tribute to the Hot Air Balloon tragedy that happened here in our small town of Carterton on Saturday. 

It is so unbelievable that something so beautiful can cause such sadness.  

My heart goes out to the families and friends of the 11 onboard who died.   

We are all thinking of you, and will be for a very long time.

New Series - The Little Birds

 {on top of the world}

I am really loving these new little birds.  

And how great does it feel to be inspired and creative again!  

I have been lacking a bit lately in inspiration, 

so these new little props are a welcome addition to my world.

{soul mates}

And of course, because I am still so iPhone mad (and still so iPhone envious!), 

I had to make these, available as covers & skins on Society6

Wishing you all a creative, fresh start to your January!

Serendipity

 

I believe.

Do you?

2012

It is New Years Eve.  

One of my favourite days.  

The anticipation of the first day of the New Year, 

a fresh start, a clean start.  

Today I get to reminisce about what has been, 

to ponder on experiences I can learn from, 

and to celebrate successes.  

Next year, 2012, 

I am daring to dream bigger than I have ever dreamt before.....

2012, I am so ready for you.....

Happy New Year to you all, I hope you celebrate what has been, 

and dream big for the future...

Love. Peace. Joy.

This past week we said good bye to my Granny.  

These sweet peas are for all of you who remember loved ones over the holidays.

May you find 

Love.  Peace.  Joy.
