The day my book world ended for 12 hours

For 12 hours my book world ended - my kindle decided to freeze and all 349 books had become unreadable 

As you know books are my life and I love to read books on the kindle or in a proper  book format

I have had my kindle since 2011 and for someone who originally didn't know if they wanted it I missed the fact that I couldn't read on it and had to wait to Amazon Assistance to see if it could be rectified

Amazon were fantastic and gave me a few different ways I could possibly fix it, but in the end it had gone to Kindle Heaven and a new one had to be brought

12 hours later this new baby was in my hot little hands and has been reloaded with all 349 books and a few more 

Have you ever had a piece of technology break that you could not live without? 

iPhone 5 Cross Stitch Phone Case Progress

I have been searching high and low for an iPhone 5 cross stitch phone case for the last year and a few weeks ago I got a message from my gorgeous friend Amy of Flowerflame to ask if I was still searching for the phone case.

I of course replied yes I was still searching for one and she replied those magical words - I have one for you! 

So now I have a hot little phone case in my hands - I had a bit of anxiety of what pattern I would like but have decided to go with a simple chevron pattern

Here is a progress photo

Can not wait to share the finish product! 

Thankyou once again Amy for sending this to me

Have you got a cross stitch phone case?

International Book Day Love

I love books and sharing my love of books and when I recently released it was International Book Day on the 14th February it was too late to organise a swap with some of the Sweet Little Pretties readers and book club (don't worry though I am prepared for next year)

I thought who could I send a little random parcel of books to that loves all books, I knew the perfect person to receive two books

I sent a quick email and went off to the city to buy two books and some for myself, I had to move quick cause I had my husband with me. 

I chose Labor Day which is our April Book Club book and also Insurgent, which I know both Katrina and her daughter will love (I was meant to pick up Divergent which is the first book in the series but did not notice until I got home)

I hope Katrina loves my little surprise parcel of books

Stay tuned for later this year when I start organising International Book Day 2015 

Scatter Love Project

When was the last time you sent off a letter to someone just for fun?

 We have taken the digital world into our fingertips and send texts, emails or facebook messages to tell that person we are there for them.

When Chantelle from Fat Mum Slim released the Scatter Love Postcards I knew I needed a set to send some postcards out. 

The cards are simply amazing and there are 10 different designs in each pack - carefully covering all the types of love to send

I have all 10 written and will be sending them periodically for a little bit of a Scatter Love Project, so over the next couple of weeks I will be sharing the design of the Scatter Love Postcard I sent someone and why I chose them to send it to

I hope my lucky 10 people will love their cards as much as I appreciate their friendship, love and caring
