I've Been Shopping

Hello,

On Tuesday I went for a spot of shopping and visited the new Next store on my local retail park. (It's only moved up a few stores to new place - much bigger now!)
Well while I was in the shop I found a new handbag and purse... It has bunnies on it!! I love it and had to have it!! It's so cute!!!

Pretty bag!! Navy and red with brown handles

Perfect for this winter. Also a great size to fit

all my suff in.

 

Can't wait to style this on my next grily day out.

 

Take care,

Love Lolly

Handmade Cards - Wedding bells about

Hiya All,

I've been checking over dates in my diaries and last month I had so many events going on that I knew I had plenty of cards to make. However, the main events taking place in September and October are weddings!! This included one anniversary, one engagement and two weddings.
Here's my cards:

Three wedding style cards for each of the occasions.

 

A wedding card I made for my friends Alice and James

Their colour theme was Blue's.

 

My friends engagement. The ring and box did take

some time to make and a little tricky.

 

And a first wedding anniversary card,

And lastly another wedding card.

 

I best check my diary for when i need more cards, I'm sure I have plenty more to make.

Quick picture

Hello,

I found this picture online and wanted to share it with you all, as I feel it can sum up how I feel after I've read such a good book. I should know as I read plenty of books.

 

Hope you feel the same after a good book.

Strictly is BACK

Hey,

Autumn is here, followed by dark night, rain, wind and Strictly. Yes, i did say strictly, by that I do mean strictly come dancing. I'm quiet happy to stay in on a Saturday night to watch this show. The sparkly on a Saturday night is so much fun, and I'm a girl who loves my dancing so this is perfect for me. Of course we have a whole load of new celebrities to entertain us.

The Celebrity                          Professional
Colin Salmon                            Kristina Rihanoff
Dani Harmer                             Vincent Simone
Denise van Outen                     James Jordan
Fern Britton                              Artem Chigvintsev
Jerry Hall                                 Anton du Beke
Johnny Ball                     Aliona Vilani  (However on the first week Iveta Lukosiute)
Kimberley Walsh                     Pasha Kovalev
Lisa Riley                                 Robin Windsor
Louis Smith                              Flavia Cacace
Michael Vaughan                     Natalie Lowe
Nicky Byrne                             Karen Hauer
Richard Arnold                         Erin Boag
Sid Owen                                  Ola Jordan
Victoria Pendleton                    Brendan Cole


I was quite busy over the weekend, so had to catch up on the two shows on Sunday night, however the wait was worth it! Didn't they all do well. It's always exciting to see the first show as we get to see what each of the celebrities are like. There are already a few we expect to do well before they even hit the dance floor, the two Olympians Louis Smith and Victoria Pendleton. Bless them, they have extra pressure on them to do well. Poor Victoria looked and seemed so nervous and that affect her dance, but Louis show us a few of his gymnastic moves within his dance.
But my favourites were Lisa Riley - She seemed to be having so much fun on that dance floor!! Wow she showed that she's got the moves and even picked up her partner Robin. Also Colin Salmon showed he's man to watch! I didn't really known who he was (I've been told he was in a Bond Film) but he left his mark on that dance floor. Kimberley Walsh also showed she is in this competition, maybe helping Pasha to move from last years second place to taking home the trophy this year... Only time will tell.

All that is left to say is roll on next week, when we find out who is the first to leave.

Love Lolly

Have you got Instagram?

Hello everyone,

I'm in love with the app Instagram, but if you don't know what this is, its an app you can get on your smart phone, taking pictures on your phone and able to edit them to change the effect of the picture. You can share your pictures with the world and follow your friends and many celebrities to see all the pictures they add! There are some great and creative photo's. I do enjoy taking many pictures and adding them to Instagram.
Here's a few I've taken:

Testing out some make-up

Just messing around!!

after some guy called Justin

One of my Favourite Books

Another pretty Germini with a heart shape in its centre.

 

 

Get involved!! Happy snapping.

Book Review - Twenties Girl

Dear Readers,

I thought I'd share with you another book for my growing collection. I love this book and think its one you can easily get lost in, one i could also see being made into a film as it's such a fun uplifting story. Yes, I think you will enjoy it!!
"Twenties Girl" By Sophie Kinsella

The Blurb Reads:

Lara has always had an overactive imagination.

 

Now she wonders if she is losing her mind. Perfectly normal twenty-

something girls just don't get visited by ghosts! But inexplicably, the

 spirit of Lara's Great Aunt Sadie - in the form of a bold, demanding,

Charleston-dancing girl - has appeared to make one last request: Lara

must track down a missing necklace Sadie simply can't rest without.

 

Lara's got enough problems of her own. Her startup company is

floundering, her best friend and business partner has run off to Goa,

and she's been dumped by the love of her life.

 

But as Lara spends time with Sadie, life becomes more glamorous,

and their treasure hunt turns into something intriguing and romantic.

Could Sadie's ghost be the answer to Lara's problems -

and can two girls from different times end up learning something

special from each other?

 

 

A fun and fabulous read!! I was so addicted to this book I just couldn't put it down. When you've finished you'll be grabbing flapper girl outfits and bringing them back!! Now, I'm a big Sophie Kinsella fan, I've read most of her book and everyone of them has me smiling. They are an easy read getting you to fall into the story and be gripped that you won't be able to stop turning the pages. 

 

With the dark nights about, you'll be able to curl up with a warm drink and this fabulous book....Enjoy!

 

Love Lolly
