:: Mrs Lavender ::

Hello!

I am back from the most wonderful wedding and honeymoon I could've imagined! I can't wait to share all my favourite parts from the past few weeks with you all.

Our wedding was absolutely perfect, it was so amazing to see all our family and friends in one place together to celebrate our special day. Even though it rained all day, for one beautiful hour is stopped raining - the exact time we needed to have our photos taken - how lucky were we? We were blessed with beautiful grey skies and a wonderful old building for the backdrop for our photos and I can't wait to see the final products!

Our day started around 7am and didn't finish 'til midnight. I had so much fun all day and somehow managed not to cry throughout the ceremony. I have cried at every other wedding I've been too, so I thought for sure I'd cry at my own - but I was busy having too much fun! The waterworks came during speeches later, speeches always get me.

I have hundreds of photos to sort through, but I wanted to share with you my favourite photo from the various happy-snappers during the day. This photo was taken by my older brother while he was juggling a large umbrella and various other items. I think the blur makes it perfect.

Much love to you all!

:: Happy New Year! ::

I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and a fabulous New Year! Christmas was a huge day for Mr LG and I. We started the day by opening our presents from each other (he gave me a box filled with crafty things - stamps, ribbons, pens, stickers ... I was in Heaven!) and then headed to his brother's place to spend time with him before going to my parents place for the rest of the day (and night!). We were truly spoilt by our family and friends and our day was filled with love and laughter - what more could we have asked for?

We spent New Years playing Nintendo monopoly with my sister and her boyfriend. I lost ... big time! But, I still had a tonne of fun! I have officially started my holidays and yet, I still feel so busy! My days are filled with wedding crafts and errands while trying to move out of my room. Have any of you tried to move after 17 years of accumulating stuff? Wow, it's a huge task! I'm not generally a hoarder, I'm actually quite good at throwing away/donating things I don't need or use anymore. And yet, I still have SO much stuff! My room currently looks like a bomb has hit it!

It is my 28th birthday in a few days (the 6th) and I can't even begin to think about a way to celebrate it while my wedding 'to do' list still has so many items on it. None of them are huge tasks, but some do take time. My latest project has been stamping cute little brown paper bags for guests to put lollies from our lolly table in.

Can you believe I get married next weekend?! Everything is starting to feel more and more real as we do things like final dress fittings and finalising menus. I can't wait to share the actual day with you all via what will probably be multitudes of photos!

I hope you are all having a fanastic break over the new year!
