Hello my dear
friends and a happy Saturday to you all!
Today I am off to photograph a lovely wedding with a dear friend of mine
– this will be a first for me, so I am rather excited {and nervous}, to say the
least!
As today is also
the last day of the delightful month of January, I thought I would share a few
of my favourite things that took place during the first month of 2015…
Let’s
see…January began on a simply wonderful note for me – my dear parents
surprised me with an early birthday gift, a beautiful laptop which now serves
as my blogging companion.
I hope to spend
many pleasurable hours sharing my heart on my blog and meeting new
friends!
On the second of
January, my dear friends from Cape Town came to spend my eighteenth birthday
with me. We had a beautifully blessed
time together… You can read more about
their visit here.
I celebrated my
eighteenth birthday on the third of January – I honestly can’t believe how
swiftly the time has flown by… I am so
thankful for the Lord’s leading in my life and I look forward to seeing what He
has planned for me in the years ahead…
Just before my
dad went back to work and the new school year began, we took a family day trip… We were so blessed with a
beautiful day and I will treasure that outing for many years to come – it was
so precious!
After taking
almost a full year off from formal schooling last year to establish my business
and grow my blog, I started again with a light workload this year in order for
me to build my business and pursue my other interests such as photography,
blogging and music at the same time… So
far it has been wonderful!
January is a
very hot month in South Africa, so we have been able to take a trip to the
beach or lagoon about once a week or so.
I am not usually a beach type of person – I don’t like the sand all that much – but in
such warm weather, I ignore my dislike for sand and salt and cool down in the
rough, chilly water… We even had a
picnic supper down on the shore the other evening…
…And my business
continues to keep me very busy – Heartmade is growing steadily and teaching me a
great deal every day.
That reminds me,
have you stopped by to enter my Valentine’s giveaway yet? This giveaway is open to readers all over the
world and closes on February 6th, so do hop by… I am offering one handmade patchwork heart
with a cross stitch motif to one dear reader – click here to see!
January has also
been a wonderful month for blogging – I have felt so very blessed being able to
meet so many new bloggers and sisters in Christ! Thank you for your sweet visits and encouraging comments - I enjoy reading them all:)
I hope that January was a lovely month for you as well…
