:: 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!

  6. Jasmine, I wish you a wonderful relaxing week leading up to your big day this weekend. It's funny and beautiful how in blog world we start to feel things regarding someone we've never met. I am feeling excited for you! And I am crossing my fingers that the weather behaves for you. If not, I'm sure you've already bought gorgeous umbrellas! I'm happy to recommend a couple of companies that I used for our wedding if you haven't. Best wishes!

  8. I can't believe how close it is to your wedding!! Wow! You must be crazy busy. I remember the week before my wedding and it was hectic. And your birthday too!

    Mine was on our honeymoon so it wasn't too bad.

    I'm so excited for your wedding and I hope it all goes well for you! I can't wait for pics :)

    And yes I know about the whole cleaning out the room because I had the same problem. Although I left a fair bit at my parents house to pick up at a later date.
