4 little things...

Sneak peek: The May issue of Real Living is on sale Monday. Just think, if you subscribed, you'd probably have it in your hands by now (well, you should anyway!)

1. I have a LOT of work to do. I seem to say this a lot.... But I swear the weeks go quicker than they used to and before I know it, it's the website upload day, which means the days before it are C-R-A-Z-Y busy. The upside of this is of course that the next issue of Real Living is going onsale - Monday is the day so make sure you check it out for living room buys, adding a hit of colour to monochrome, making your house make money, and clever ways to store your tech bits and pieces that seem to take over your house. To name just a few of the features.

2. I was delighted to discover this morning that I'd won a little award! How sweet. Thanks to Courtney at Nesting Instincts for including me in her 10 bloggers of excellence! I'll have to pass on my own little awards one day soon, but until then, if you love before and afters, check out Courtney's site - she makes a living sprucing up people's homes with some clever planning, a lot of love and just a little $$$. I've often thought of doing something similar myself one day...

3. I'm in the process of making a little wall art for the new nursery. We don't know the sex of the baby so it has to be relatively gender neutral. Quick question: do you think deers and butterflies are unisex enough? They'll be black and white if that helps (can't give too much away!). Vote for me top right (although it's entirely possible I'll ignore the result this time as I might not feel inspired to redo what I've done. We'll see...)

4. Have a FANTABULOUS weekend. I'm sure you deserve it.

I begged for a subscription for my christmas present... santa didn't oblige. Can't wait till tomorrow. "Bambi" is gender neutral, so why can't the theme be :) Can't wait to see the progress.
