The De-Clutter Begins!

Remember this post about me being desperate to have an early Spring clean? Well, it has begun!

I started by listing 5 unused items 6 days ago on eBay, and this gave me the bug to continue and sell more! So tonight I have spent four, yes FOUR (phew!) hours listing items for sale. I now have 22 items up on eBay, so fingers crossed most of them sell!

If your feeling nosy - here's my eBay shop with tons of things for sale, mostly bags and shoes! Here's a few things that are going as part of the big Spring De-Clutter!






The items I am sending out with the big declutter are either too small, no longer used or are unwanted gifts. Are you going to join in with the big Spring declutter?

Don't Lose Your Tesco Pennies!

I don't normally re-blog things - however I think some people may have been missing out here!




It turns out that you can find your 'lost' Tesco points - points you probably didn't even know were there! I found this out after reading this blog post by The Felt Fairy - go and read it to find out the instructions! Don't lose out people - you could be rich without even realising it!


I found out I had £16.50 just sat there waiting to be spent! Yay!

Spring Clean

I have been having a uber (yes, I did just say 'uber') urge to spring clean recently. Well, not clean exactly, more of CHUCK EVERYTHING OUT!!! After the wonderful but cluttered Christmas decorations being around, and now just a general everyday mess which no-one ever seems to sort out, I am craving a lovely welcoming and warm, yet clutter free living space! When I have chance to get this spring clean ball rolling, if its not useful, practical, loved or decorative then its GOING!


I dream of living in a space where I have been let loose to create my own design on. We live in a rented property currently, and there's only so much of cream walls I can take, and also only so much wall hangings we can put up.


I just LOVE these living rooms I found, eugh, they make me drool with lust for them!



I love that green wall paint!


I wish I had a wall of photo's and artwork!


Hmm....anyone else have the same urge??

It's Been A Long Time Coming...

My word - Christmas really did take its toll on me, its been a while since I graced my presence here! It has been lovely though :)


And so, with all the Christmas gifts, decorations and food out of the way (well, nearly all the food!) I have found my crafty bug itching away at me again. I feel I was getting a bit bored with trying to craft items I could sell or give as gifts for Christmas and I have been after something which I could just do for me. Something which didn't matter how it turned out, it didn't matter how much it cost and it didn't matter how long it took.







Then I remember my Wreck This Journal which I bought last summer. This is a book by Keri Smith whereby each page is fairly empty, except for an instruction. These instructions are quite vague - and most can be interpreted in different ways, but they all require creativeness to 'destroy' the journal. I had started a few entries when I bought it - starting in a random order, I had number the pages, started filling out the info page, and completed a page of circles. But then I think I got a little protective over the rest of it, unsure of what to do but still creating a an artistic entry.

And so, with my creative itch scratching away at me again, I have pulled the journal out again. And taking the bull by the horns the first thing I have done with it is follow one of the weirder instructions, I took it in the shower with me! And you know what? I'm so glad I did! I really feel that by doing this I have wiped away that 'blank page' fear I think I had. Once dried (partly using a hair dryer to separate the wet pages!) it has left the journal with such a lovely 'used' feeling to it which I just love!



Following my journals shower, I have begun on another entry which requires you to doodle on the cover. This instruction has interpreted slightly, and I have instead decoupaged the cover using vintage style papers. This had made it look so pretty - which of course I love, however I haven't really 'wrecked' it by doing this! Maybe with time I'll end up doodling over the decoupage, we'll see.



I'll be uploading more images as I go along to my Flickr page, so take a nosy when your around....
