Honeymoon in pictures

Our honeymoon had a magical feel to it. The mix of mediterranean summer and fall, amazing atmosphere of small, forgotten town, windy breeze by the sea and warm sun brightening up the days. We walked so much, we laughed so much, we dreamt so much. We charged the batteries, made some brave plans and savoured these first few days after our wedding. PS. And yes we stayed in the most charming tiny hotel I’ve ever seen!

Nasza podroz poslubna miala w sobie odrobine magii. Mieszanka srodziemnomorskiej koncowki lata i poczatkow jesieni, cudna atmosfera malego, troche zapomnianego miasteczka, podmuchy wiatru nad morzem i slonce grzejace twarz. Spacerowalismy, smialismy sie do rozpuku, zajadalismy sie smakolykami, marzylismy i snulismy smiale plany na najblizsze miesiace. Naladowalismy baterie i nacieszylismy soba i tymi pierwszymi dniami po slubie tylko we dwoje. PS. I tak, zostalismy w najcudowniejszym malenkim hotelu jaki w zyciu widzialam!

Chasing Dreams- my plan for right now!

Hello and happy Saturday! What are you up to right now guys? My plan is to get some coffee, sit down on the sofa and enjoy looking through beautiful online magazine which debuted last week on the Internet! Have you seen “Chasing Dreams” created by Kasia and Magda? If not you should! I had a quick look through it during the week and I loved what I saw!!

Hej kochani, cudnej soboty! Jakie macie plany na TERAZ? Ja zamierzam zlapac kubek z kawa, usiasc wygodnie na kanapie i oddac sie lekturze cudnego nowego magazynu online, ktory ujrzal swiatlo dzienne w zeszlym tygodniu! Widzieliscie juz “Chasing Dreams” stworzone przez Kasie i Magde? Jesli nie, koniecznie to nadrobcie! Ja po krotkim przejrzeniu publikacji w tygodniu nie moge sie juz doczekac aby spokojnie zatopic sie w lekturze!

Hugs and have a gorgeous weekend!

Usciski, cudownego weekendu!

It’s OK Not To Be Perfect- layout for Chic Tags

Hello there!

I told you a while ago that my crazy for glitter has started recently and today I have a little proof of that :) The layout I want to share is a little bit special (and it stands in visible place of my room now and I love seeing the message it gives!) because it pushed me to think more about balance in life. I was getting to some crazy point recently and had to stop and slow down to feel OK with myself. It wasn’t easy because I’m a perfectionist- I want everything to be done well, on time and with no problems, but my current lessons show that sometimes it’s OK not to be perfect and the World won’t end with it..

products: paper: Chic Tags Happy Place, embellishments: tags and stickers- Chic Tags; alphabet: Chic tags, Prima; rub ons- Chic Tags; crystals: Prima; stamps: Chic Tags; other: acrylic paint, gold glitter, gesso, white uniball pen

Composition of this page is based on the sketch from Chic Tags blog– we invite you to play along, you have time until Saturday, November 30th and just to let you know- you can use any products you want, Chic Tags is not required :)

 

Workspace Wednesday

Hello and happy Workspace Wednesday!

My desk is covered with beautiful new products which I received last weekend from Chic Tags! Among them I’ve found the new exclusive November kit which you can still purchase in Chic Tags store! It includes some tags, journaling cards, badges and exclusive design stamps. I separated my kit into small bowls so I can always see the cute embellishments and create something new with them- this is the plan for the weekend

Can’t wait to create something new with these goodies- aren’t they gorgeous? What’s happening on your desk right now?:)

 

 

Workspace Wednesday!

I think these Wednesday snapshots of my desk will become a new happy tradition! Thank you Marcy! 

today the desk is actually on fire!

My favorite place to search for the ideas and inspiration- older layouts I’d made!

Pop of happy green- my favorite color!

and a little sneaks of layouts I’m working on for the e-course!

That’s my space today! I’m happy in this creative mess and I missed it a lot! I keep making, making, making and it makes me so grateful for this fun hobby all over again!

Workspace Wednesday

Another week, another Workspace Wednesday post! After enjoying it so much the week before I couldn’t wait to snap photos of my desk again- especially that last night I received super exciting package full of gorgeous goodies from Citrus Twist Kits store and their October kits! I managed to unpack them and photograph few little sneaks- the full reveal is coming this Saturday!

 

You can read more about Workspace Wednesday project on Marcy Penner’s blog. And if you are curious about some of the products from photographs- they are all still in stock in CTK store so make sure you order some with your kits this month!

5 Autumn Goals

Hello and happy Monday!

We have officially entered Autumn now and I’m super happy about it! I don’t want things to slip through my fingers and I don’t want to miss this beautiful season- instead I want to set myself in a mood to make the most of it! I’ve been thinking for a while what I want to embrace in the next 2 months (until end of November when everything will start screaming Christmas!) and here is the little list of my simple goals I came up with.

1.Weekly craft projects for the home. Every week I’m going to make something for our home, I’ve been pinning like crazy and I want to choose some easy projects to make our place more us!

2. Read 3 books. I’m going to read 3 books- I’ll use my Legimi for it as it’s the most convienient way to read for me and I have some books I’m really excited about!

3. Try new meal every week. I’ve been planning our meals for a while so including new recipes shouldn’t be too hard! I also can’t wait to use my cookery books more!

4. Photo walk. I want to grab our cameras and go for a walk to capture some beautiful autumn moments like we did in the years before!

5. Wardrobe update. A new job makes me think about clothes a lot and I want to pay more attention to my wardrobe so there are some fun shopping trips scheduled this fall!
