Pay It Forward, Backwards.

On Tuesday morning I got a cryptic little tweet from Kim asking if my mail man had come. He hadn’t come at his normal time, but by the time I came home from picking Luke up from work he had. I was super excited to see a package addressed to me!

You see, in February I participated in a little thing called “Pay It Forward” via Morgan & Kim’s blog, and this was the day I got my little handmade gift! I ripped it open (is there anyone who doesn’t frantically open parcels to see what’s inside?!) and I found a beautiful camera embroidered by the very talented Morgan, and a beautiful little letter typed on their typewritter. I was so excited I rushed down into the house, grabbed a hanger and nail and went straight to work making a place for it to hang. I think it’s meant to sit here, because this hole just happens to fit it perfectly!

What do you think, isn’t it beautiful!? I feel very lucky to have amazing friends like Morgan and Kim. They are an incredibly inspirational pair!

Don’t mind the cobwebs… must clean those soon!!

Everyone, it’s not too late to get something handmade by me! Just read the rules over on the original post, and either leave a comment or send me an email!

Thanks for visiting my site again! keep checking back for more updates!

Graduation

I have really strong feelings about all this, but I don’t want to offend anyone, so I’m just going to give you a summary of some words which sum up 30th June 2009 for me- Graduation Day. You can ask me questions about different words in the comments…

Disappointed. University. Professional. Family. Gone. iPhone. Rachel. Tears. Hurt. Camera. Dinner. Moroccan. Big vs Small. Questions. What now?. Mistakes. Remember. Annoyed. Peace?. Hate. Hard. Tired. Stress. Memories. Thirty-one. Hayden. Nana. Two. Bored. Gown. Mint Green. Effort. Worthless. Future. Luke.

Canon Digital SLR 400D

Most of you will know that I have been wanting a Canon 400D SLR camera for a while now.

Mum put it on lay-by and started me off with $200, which was for my birthday. Luke gave me $200 to put on it as a birthday present, and I also asked people to give me money to go towards it instead of birthday present this year, and so I put all that money on the camera today. I also have been saving all my coinage in a piggy bank, and went to the bank to put that on my card so I could pay MORE off my camera.

Thanks to some money we got for organising and running a kids programme the other weekend, we were able to AFFORD TO GET IT TODAY!!!!

I am SO excited, and have been taking pictures all afternoon.

Also, tonight I ate vegemite on some naan bread- SO good!!
