I should be revising, but procrastination is sweet.

Just had a wonderful couple of days with a wonderful couple of girls!

My parents went to Germany over the weekend, so I got the wonderful opportunity to stay with a very lovely friend of mine and her family. We had a lot of laughs - rushing around, thinking, writing, praying, chatting, singing, making bracelets, laughing together, falling asleep during late night conversations. Awesome weekend.

Then, the next day my beautiful cousin came to stay :) The one that took the picture of the daisy, see last post. We had a girly night in - hair rollers, face masks, nail polishes, make-up, gossip and giggling. Such a funny three nights.


And I've been very excited for many reasons, one of which I will explain all in good time, faithful followers, all in good time.


Anyway, the main purpose of this post was to tell you about a new hobby of mine. I decided when messing around on the home PC that I should try and become a little more computer literate and make a lyrics video. So, after much pondering over the song, and a whole lot of frustration using Windows Movie Maker, I created this video, which I'm a little bit proud of. Take a look?


Sorry for not posting properly :/ Exams to revise for, places to go and people to meet and all that...


On that note, I've got to get off Blogger and go do something vaguely useful.
:)
Every blessing,

Makeover! :)

Dear readers,


So, as you can see, I've redecorated a little :)

What do you think?

 It's been great fun, messing around with Picnik, picking out loads of pictures and seeing what I could do with them, choosing colours and fonts and all sorts. I've got loads of advice and been able to look at loads of other gorgeous blogs.

However, I've been more than frustrated. I was talking to a friend while trying to put the header up for the first time, and I might have mentioned (and I quote):
 "I could take it's neck and squeeze it and brutally murder it and stamp on its stupid little head and KILL IT."

Yeah, Blogger was really annoying me. It was kind of my fault, I must say - I am a very inexperienced blogger, especially on the design front. However, I've learnt an awful lot in the process of doing this.


But I certainly cannot take all the credit for the makeover.


Thank you very much indeed to the lovely Fizi Kizi - author of Take To The Sky..., who has put up with my incessant questions. She's given me so much advice, on starting the blog, on my posts and on... well, just about everything else I do in my life. Be sure to check out her blog - it's awesome.


The picture in the header of the rainbow - that's courtesy of Joey, thank you :)


The other photo? Well... I think it's so awesome that I need to post it again.

The girl who took this photo is amazing. As a friend, a girl, a photographer - and my cousin.


What do you think? There's a new Contact Me page. Let me know.


Sorry, people, wasn't the most interesting post, I know.
I'll be posting something more helpful soon, promise :)


Love,
Lizzie xx
