Inspiration Day

 

 

Hope everyone had a lovely Easter and feels really refreshed from the break, ready for the 4 day week ahead. The weekend before Easter I had an inspiration day, it was much needed after weeks of doing nothing creative. It all started with this little blue birdie that I received that week. It was part of a good bag from Laura Ashley I received from work. It was filled with lovely bits and pieces, all for free! This was very exciting as I’m a massive Laura Ashley  fan. So I decided that I would get a move on a create something slightly festive for Easter and given my limited I opted to make my own Easter cards.

 

 

 

 

I managed to get my hands on a copy of Martha Stewart Living, something I’ve never read before, and I was so inspired. Recipes, crafts and lovely things fill every page. Now I know I’m probably late to cotton on to this but Martha doesn’t have the same presence in the UK as she does in the US, but anyway I’m hooked…I just need to find out how frequently the magazine is published so I can keep my eyes peeled. My work also announced that we are heading off to sunny Athens for our work annual holiday, so I’m busy researching cool hang-outs and shops.  Last year we terrorized Barcelona, so it will be great to get a bit more sun this year! 

 

 

 

 

I made all my Easter cards on my day of inspiration, however I wrote them and sealed before I remembered to take a snap of them (doh). However it was a great day re-connecting with all the things I love, doing crafting, buying fresh flowers, taking photos and eating my fave lunch. Inspiring food for an inspiring day! There’s nothing better than a day alone to rattle around indulging in all things girly.   Have a great week!
