Things I’m Loving

Loving this gorgeous photo-canvas hanging on our wall, from Bags of Love:

Bags of Love canvas of Princess Bay sunset

The photograph was taken by Dan one stunning evening at Princess Bay at the end of summer. We don’t get to spend many evenings watching the sunset together these days, but when we do it’s always unforgettable in the best possible way (so long as we remember the insect repellent!).

Anyway I’m LOVING this canvas and will definitely be creating some gifts for my family in the UK soon. Bags of Love produce a wide-variety of high quality personalised gifts, Christmas gifts, baby gifts and photo canvases.

Loving the confidence of our young entertainers in the family. Charlotte and Sophie made it through the auditions to ‘Performance Assembly’ last week. They were so cute! Charlotte choreographed a dance, which Sophie did a great job of dancing along too. And Alice loves bopping along with her big sisters too – and playing her little drum kit…

Loving that today is the last day of term! It’s been a long, eleven week term and Sophie’s first ever school term. She’s settled in great and is looking forward to starting a new class in term two. We are all looking forward to some family time together over the Easter holidays and not having to pack the lunches!

Last day of term one, 2011!

Loving that Alice has such a wild sense of humour, loves to groove to the beat and create her own style of music too, and is beginning to sit still for a few moments to look at a book.

Loving Charlotte’s pre-bed doodle art (Henna tattoo artist in the making perhaps?!):

Loving this ‘Where’s Wally’ jigsaw that Sophie picked up at last weekend’s school car-boot sale. She did it all by herself!

And finally, loving this softie from Paisley Jade, who hosts the ‘Things I’m Loving’ linky on a Friday. How she manages to be so amazingly crafty (check out her on-line shop), be an amazing mother of four, wonderful wife and keep her wonderful blog I don’t know (does she actually sleep I wonder?!). And did I mention she is amazing in the kitchen too?!

Thanks to Paisley Jade

Disclosure: I received a complimentary photo-canvas from Bags of Love in return for a written review. My comments are entirely my own opinion and written in my own words.

  1. Oh! That is a fab photo that Dan took. I would love to get some of my photos onto canvas…how come you chose that company…instead of a NZ based company?

    I think it was so fantastic that your daughters performed at the assembly. It was great when everyone started to clap to the music for them. What an achievement for Sophie and Charlotte.

    I hope you enjoy the Easter holidays. I’m thinking I need to restock our craft and kitchen supplies!

  2. Dan’s got a great ‘eye’ with the camera. The company – Bags of Love – very generously did me a canvas with my choice of photograph in return for me doing a wee review. I only sent them a photo just over a week ago.I have lots of family in the UK so it will be a great company for me to use for gifts to my UK relatives.

    I’m so happy it’s the Easter hols. Have a lovely time with your gorgeous family, Sarah x

  6. Wow so much to love. Love the little drummer girl – she’s definitely got some rhythm. Matched by her talented older sisters – great how well supported they were by the others at the school – so sweet. Yay for school holidays – hope it’s an enjoyable 2 weeks for you all home together xx
