Holidays, holidays!

Holidays holidays! What bliss to be on holidays! The last few Sunday Summaries have gone a miss so this is like a summary of my life of the last few weeks...

It's been grand. My netball team won the premiership which is the most amazing feeling and has been such fantastic fun and an awesome group of people to have been able to share it with and be a part of and everything. It has always been a life goal to win a netball premiership and that I got to do it with the club I've been playing with all my life has been the most exciting thing! It was just epic!

Apart from all the excitement of this I am pretty well on top of life and have thoroughly enjoyed my week of absolute holiday bliss! Bliss bliss bliss!

School is under control and we only have six weeks left before being finished for the year which is just a tad bit awesome and crazy as I know I keep saying it but this year is disappearing quicker than the iPhone 5 has raced off the shelf. Which is crazy fast! Apparently Australia was even a destination for Apple lovers from overseas as some came across the ocean just to wait in line for the latest and greatest apple of all because good old Australia was the first to get it!

Loving my iPhone 4S even if it is a bit behind the times now! Newly a total Instagram-aholic!

Anyway.... more to come but that's about all my brain will output at the moment.... still in slow motion from holidays!!

So this is a pretty talented little chick that I highly recommend that you give a watch...

M.I.A.

So it's been a week.... I think it's fair to say it's been a very busy one! I feel a long post coming on...

But for the moment I'll keep this one short....

Have a nice day!

Few people think....

“Few people think about it or are aware of it. But there is nothing made by human beings that does not involve a design decision somewhere.”
- Bill Moggridge

SwissMiss, one of my very favourite blogs.

It's funny, the other day we had a guy come and talk to us at school. He is actually the creator of Positive Posters and Sex, Drugs & Helvetica. Anyway, he as talking about how Graphic Designers are so undervalued. And it's so true. Look around the screen right now.... A Graphic Designer designed this. Now minimise and have a look at all your other programs. This was also part of a Graphic Designers job along with a code designer of some description. Now that magazine sitting on your desk, that was a Graphic Designer too. and the list goes on, advertising, print, screen and physical mediums are all outlet's that Graphic Designers create and design for along with many others. See above! Yet when you tall someone that you're studying to become a Graphic Designer there are people who almost scoff.... "so you draw stuff?".

Darling, that's not even the half of it.

Sunday Summary 9/9/2012


This week has been busy as usual. 

Been pumping 360 still and haven't really checked out any other new music. 

Attempted to watch Red Riding Hood and failed. Not my kind of movie.

So very close to finishing My Sisters Keeper!

Another 21st celebration this weekend and thinking a lot about my own. Finally finalised my invitation design and am in the process of getting them ready to send so that's a bit exciting!

Also finally got my new iPhone! Even though it's so close to the next version coming out. But I just couldn't wait any longer. And I'm totally in love!

Otherwise, just enjoying things going to plan!


My light globe exploded!

My beautiful new white iPhone.

 Delicious ice-cream cake that is kind of from last week. Was so delish!

The boss as Ottor Box cover form my new baby for ultimate protection!

Some embellishments for my invitations!

Enjoy your week!

InsideOut #010


Rest

You wouldn't think that hearing those three words would reduce you to cringe,
for your stomach to churn and for tears to almost spring to your eyes.
"You Must Rest" he says.
"You're doing to much"
his tone is stern and serious as a lump forms in my throat.
How is it possible to hate being told to rest?

Sunday Summary 2/9/2012


So just had one of the best weekends! Netball team is into the grand final, so that's pretty $#$%$%&$#@$% ! ! ! exciting! I've been playing netball at this club since I was 11 and I've never had the chance to play in a grand final with them! Also got to be super proud of my superstar little sister who is my idol right now!

Also helped one of my very best friends celebrate her 21st which was a fantastic night with a music themed dress up which involved many fantastic costumes! Including the DJ Lance from Yo Gabba Gabba, which very much impressed me. Along with a few Lady Gaga's of course! And even an iPod! That was probably the coolest costume there. This girl made it herself and put speakers on it and everything!

It also involved a bit of joint birthday celebration for my sister who had her birthday during the week. This involved some rather delicious burritos and some rather impressive ice-cream cake!

Was a bit funny, on Friday I was rummaging around to find some stuff to take home for the costume party and just happened to find my lovely hats that I bought last year. That's right. On the very last day of winter I found my lovely cosy winter hats that I obviously hadn't looked hard enough for all year! Unlucky! And Spring certainly brought us some lovely mood boosting weather! So yes, awesome times!

As far as music goes this week I have definitely been loving 360's album I purchased last week. Especially Just Got Started, Child, Throw It Away, Run Alone, Meant To Do and Hope You Don't Mind.... but I really just love the whole album.

There was one disappointing thing though. I wasn't able to get my new iPhone that I've been counting down to getting for a few months now and especially for the last few weeks since smashing my own phone. So next weekend hopefully I'll be able to fit it in. I cannot wait to get my hands on it! I even already have the cover!

The week in thousands of words...

The shoes on the left I purchased for my costume... they were the most amazing and highest pair of shoes I have ever purchased! And they were even on sale at only $20 from Novo shoes!

One of my poor neglected hats that missed out on winter!

Been really enjoying every chance I get to read this book!

Got my Grease on and went to the party as Sandy...

Hope yours was as good as mine!
