:: Journal Swap ::

Thank you all for your lovely comments on the wedding photos I've posted so far. It's been fun to look through all the photos my family and friends have taken! And wow, Mr LG and I have seen our professional wedding photos. There is no way we can easily choose our favourites for an album - they're amazing!

In non-wedding related news (don't want to inundate you all!) I met up with the lovely Gracie on the weekend. It was fantastic to meet her in person after all the emails, blog comments and snail mail we have sent each other. Back in October Gracie and I did a journal swap together. We chose some journal prompts including first celebrity crush and favourite quotes and used those as inspiration.

Gracie's journal for me -  I loved how pretty it was and how much it reflected her personality.

My journal for Gracie!

Yes, you saw right - that is Taylor Hanson.

Doing the journal swap sparked my creative side and my love for snail mail again. Since joining the blogging world I have gained a few pen pals from various parts of the world, but I would love more! If you'd like to become pen pals, let me know - I'd love to write to you!
