Inspiration Planner

I've been thinking about what inspires me lately... I always feel so creative when I take a look at my scrapbook with all the pretty paper and stickers and tape! 

So, I decided to decorate my day planner! Make it a little less uniform and a little more "me"!

Front cover

It didn't have the month of June (it was a financial year day planner) so I had to make one myself! Awkward... I was supposed to post this yesterday!

These two ^^ are my pages, which I'm sure will soon be filled up with doodles and happy things!

This is the regular book! I've decorated it with some paper tape, and I have a couple more ideas but we'll see! I'm already feeling more inspired!

What do you do to make you inspired on a day to day basis?

Happy 50th Birthday Momma Goose!

(August 2012, Lake Louise, Alberta)

This is my momma, and I love her a lot. :)

And it is her birthday!!

Happy 50th birthday to the greatest mom there ever was. Thanks mom, for:

Supporting my move to Australia

Always trying to take my picture even though I always pull faces like ^ that one

Teaching me to be a strong and independent woman, like you

Making sure I knew how to assemble a book case and change a tire by myself

Supporting my baking and trying all my BRAP pies, even though you don't like pie

Laughing at my dumb jokes

Trying to show me how to dress myself

Not giving up even when I decided jeans and tshirts were the only way to go

Visiting me in the mountains

For trying everything and anything to get me to eat breakfast..

And lunch

And especially for putting up with me during my rebellious teenage years, I'm still sorry about those!

(January 2013 and Sometime around 2001)

Love you more than anything!!

Wish I could be home to celebrate with you!

Lookbook Inspiration

Looking through lookbook and saving my favourite "one day I might actually wear these" outfits is one of my favourite past times. I have a whole folder full of LB inspirations, but I seem to be stuck in a shorts and tshirt style rut. I love the bohemian girlie hippie sort of vibe, but I'm always worried I can't pull it off!!

Anyways, here are some of my favourites lately!

one, two, three, four, five.

What is your style inspiration?

Seductive Life Recap Part 2: Journey to AUSTRALIA!

So getting to Australia takes a long time. A LONG time. We arrived at the Toronto airport at 3:00pm on February 4th and didn't land in Brisbane until 12:30 on February 6th. We lost Tuesday!!

We had a lot of wait time in the airports, we flew from Toronto to LA, LA to Sydney, and Sydney to Brisbane.

This is on the long flight from LA to Sydney, we made ourselves miighty comfortable.

No furbees?!

On the flight from Sydney to Brisbane we met a nice man named Frank who told us all about his favorite places in Aus and gave us $20 to buy beers!

I even had to pee in the yucky airplane bathroom.

  

I love the view from the plane, so pretty :) 

Griffo driving the luxy home!

Me and TJ in the back seat being goofs as always!

The cute couple reunited at last!

Recap part one here!

And that last one is my big news!! Guess where I'm moving to?! Did you say AUSTRALIA by any chance? Ding ding ding you're a winner!!

My next couple of weeks are going to be absolutely insane. I'm leaving Baker Creek (so sad, I've made myself a second family here) and going home for a while. Then off to Cuba for my very bestest friends 21st birthday! Then AUSTRALIA!!!

A 25 hour plane ride with stops in LA and Sydney and Brisbane... Then a 4 hour car ride to Coff's Harbour!!! Blue sky and beautiful beaches and 30 degree weather here I come!!

Donations are being accepted into my sunscreen fund! ;)

21 Shades of Christmas: Merry Christmas Banner

Guess who's back... back again. Becky's back. Tell a friend... (Eminem fix of the day!)

Okay you ready for this one? Ready? Let's gooo! We're going to make a pretty little banner. Yours can say whatever your pretty little mind wants it to say, but mine says  I used red, green, and cream felt. Cream for all the letters. But really, rules suck, do whatever you want. Seriously. Orange and blue and purple? Do it. 

I also picked up one of those nifty letter stencils at the dollar store ON SALE (did you know dollar stores had sales?) for 50 cents.

Okay so see what I did there? I traced out all the letters and then cut them out. No way, right? Who would have ever thought that step came next. But seriously. Look at at that. So easy.

Okay, now cut the red and the green into whatever shape you want. I wanted triangles but since I didn't have a ruler I was like F THAT, let's do some squares. Squares. Woooo! Now glue everything down. I didn't take pictures of that step, although my pretty pink glue gun could have used some close up shots!

Cut some holes, string some string, and baddaboom baddabing you've got a banner! Christmas-y and perfect and cheerful! 

17 days until Christmas!
