Is your name on a coke cola bottle?

Hello everyone,

Coke cola have got a new campaigns "share a coke" they want you to grab a bottle of their drink and share it with the name on the bottle. I went to my local shop to see what I could find, mainly to see if I could find my own name :)
I hunted high and low, but it was my friend who found my name! Yay!

Let me know what names you find out there, could be fun!

Fashion - New Wedges

Hiya,

While shopping recently I decided I needed some new shoes ready for them summer BBQ's, if the sun shines, even if the sun doesn't shine I'll have some nice new shoes!! Win, Win! I needed some new wedges as they are perfect for BBQ's as with heels you can sink into grass, which can leave you looking stupid! You don't want that...

I chose these cute black wedges from New Look price at £19.99 which is a bargain!!

Now all we need is some sun shine... Please.

Love Lolly

Handmade Cards - May

Hello,

Yesterday was my day off, I didn't want to leave the house, not just because of the weather, but I just needed to chill at home. I decided to get to work on some cards as I was running a little short for the up and coming birthdays.
Cute Girly Birthday Cards

Knickers for anyone?

Made just for the Dog lover

Race Cars

My friends have brought their first House 
and are moving in next month so this is for them.

A few family friends are having baby's so I made this just in case.

I love making cards, and I'm sure on another day off soon I'll be making more that I'll share with you.

Enjoy your week,

Love Lolly

Jewellery Stand

Hiya,

I've got plenty of pretty things in my room, so my parents brought me another addition to make sure I've got somewhere to keep all of my Jewellery.

I think it's a very vintage style, in a classic white. With plenty of places to hang my necklaces and earrings.

Fancy a new picture frame...

Afternoon,

While clearing out all my stuff I found loads of old photo frames, now most people would just through them out, but I had some paint just sitting around so I decided to paint them instead.
From this...

...To this. 
Pink is more my colour.

Plain white with a touch of gold.

Now have a green frame and a blue frame. 

These are plain brown... now more colourful, just my style.

I've still got some paint left, what will I find to paint next....

Home made gifts always make it extra special

Evening all,

I love creating different items, especially if they are gifts for my friends. Over the last few months I've been creating a few which I shall share with you over time, but firstly I've been decorating some gift boxes.
 Here's what I made:
These are the plain boxes I used

Dark pink lid, pale pink sides

The full set of boxes

I even decorated round tubs.

Dark purple lid with ribbons and flowers

Another view

Given as a gift with a bracelet inside.

These boxes will now make great gifts for friends and family, something just a bit extra special.

Love Lolly

book review - At First Sight

Afternoon all,

Another book that i have read recently is a Nicholas Sparks Novel, "At First Sight".

The Blurbs reads:
Jeremy Marsh once vowed he would never do three things: Leave 
New York City, give his heart away again after barely surviving one failed 
marriage, and most of all, become a parent.

Now Jeremy is living in the small town of Boone Creek, North 
Carolina, married to Lexie, The woman he loves, and anticipating 
the birth of their daughter. Life seems to be settling down - until a 
disturbing and mysterious message appears from the past. Wounds he 
thought had healed are reopened, and Jeremy realises his old life is 
closer to him than he thinks.

A story of secrets, asking you who can you trust, but do you follow your head or heart? A lovely story of a couple in love and the problems they face from their very different pasts.

I now just have to chose which of his books to read next.

Love Lolly
xoxo
