What’s On Your Fridge?

This week I’m playing along with My Place and Yours hosted over at Hello Owl…

Our fridge is mostly covered in photos, which is pretty much just life every other part of our house and life! I’ve been scanning old photos, so there is one up there of me and my mum when I was one day old.

There is something really beautiful about scanning old photos. I kind of like how they always seem to have a really wide frame, and the people seem to be far away. The light is always interesting too…

Keeping Memories…

You may have noticed that I have a very cute little plugin on my blog for showing other posts that might be of interest to you, when you finsih the post you’re reading. I myself was very interested to see what other posts came up, as some of them stretch back to the beginning days of my blog, back in January 2007. I stumbled across this post which I wrote after Luke and I had been married for six months. In the post I more or less talk about how I’m managing my time now that I’m married, and where we will be when we hit the ‘one year’ mark. Well, it’s recently been that same time of year again, when we’re half way through another year of marriage (!!). I thought I would exam where I thought we’d be, where we really are, and make another prediction for the future!

Well, we’re definitely spending more time together- and making regular date nights every week, to make sure that we’re doing something special.We’re balancing life and uni and work, only now it’s Luke at Uni, and me working, and Life? Well, it just seems to happen all the time!! I have become some sort of a work-a-holic, where I need to spend more time there then I actually get paid for, but I think it is worth it. We are doing a great thing, and Luke and I always make time for each other.

I DO have my sexy Digital SLR, HAVE finished Uni, and DO have more time for blogging. Yay! We are definitely a year closer to having a baby… I think. Actually, maybe we are year further away, cause we’ve changed our minds! Haha. But we’ve been talking about it a lot more, and deciding on some foundational areas on parenting years away from having one. It is a good feeling, even if Luke doesn’t like the awesomely cute girls names I like. Ladies, HOW DO YOU CONVINCE YOUR HUSBAND ON AWESOME BABY NAMES?! I am totally in love with the name “Avery” at the moment. It is the sweetest thing I’ve heard in ages!

Haha, one of the last things I say in that post is “My other thing I am constantly working on (but getting much better at) is apologising immediately after I say something rudely, or in a huff, or hurtful. Wish me luck!!” This cracks me up, because yes, I am STILL working on this! But I am a bit better…!

Beautiful images captured by the scanner!

Above is one my latest creations- some scan art! I love making these, because they are super beautiful and easy to make! They can also be really beautiful and meaningful. I started doing it ages ago, and think I might take it up again! Here’s one I did back then…

This lace is from our wedding invitations, and ribbon from my bouquet. LOVE.
