{the pulp} the a to z of me

the A to Z of me

With the new year, new friends and all that I thought I might share a little bit more about me. I first saw this on  Sophie’s blog and thought it was a great way to describe some things about me.

I would love  to find out more about you, too. If you decide to do the same, leave a link in the comments so I can find out everything from your age to your favourite zoo animal. And, you can get a template of the above image here to put your own photo in. The jpg file has a black square to put your photo.

{my place & yours} on the wall

{my place & yours} on the wall

I thought I would link up with Vic’s My Place and Yours today and share what’s on my wall. When I saw Vic’s theme this week, I immediately thought of this wall, which is the wall behind our bed, on my side.

It never fails to make me smile, for a variety of reasons, when I walk into the room. {The door is directly opposite!}.

{my place & yours} on the wall

It’s not only the children’s art work, Mother’s Day gifts from school, or the gorgeous Love print from vol. 25, or the bright and vibrant colours of this haphazard display.

You know what I love about this wall ~ the randomness. Particularly that one-of-a-kind drawing off to the side. I remember the little voice that said “Can you stick it up on the wall?”, and so I did, and there it remains.

And I love this wall too, you might have seen it before, it’s the wall of my study ~ my inspirational clutter.

{lime pulp} new year, new look

take a look

I’m kicking off 2012 with a fresh new look so if you are reading through an RSS feed, pop over and check out the renovation.

And along with a new look, will come new categories and a new posting schedule. All the categories have been re-organised into seven broader categories, you can see them up there, and hopefully the re-design will be more stable and faster to load.

Not much will change, however, but my aim is for Lime Lane to be a destination for inspiration, be it with lovely things or motivating words, with a few photography and technology snippets thrown in.

And if you haven’t already, make sure you subscribe to a feed  or to the weekly Lime Time newsletter over there in the sidebar.

Let’s get this show on the road, shall we.

 

 

 

 

happy new year ~ make it sparkle

sparkly new year

So here we are in 2012. I want to wish you all a happy new year and may it sparkle with light, happiness, good health and creativity.

A new year brings the ultimate fresh start and new beginnings. I’m in the midst of a little renovation here at Lime Lane so if things look a little hinky in the next 24 to 48 hours that’s why.

I have big plans for 2012 and I hope you will be along to share the ride.

Let the sparkle begin.

 

 

 

 

{re-lime rewind} an introduction

rewind

Well we are on the other side of Christmas and in the final week of 2011. Where did it go?

I’ve been thinking about what to do this here on the blog ~ take a week off, post around a simple theme or revisit the archives. Things are quiet and we have some family visiting to do so I wanted something easy.

With the readership growing, I thought a bit of a 2011 rewind might be fun. Each day I’m going to share a popular post from the archives, based on comments or visits. Might be fun to rummage around in the closet of posts and reminisce on some of the year’s posts.

I’ll kick off with a top 5 tomorrow.

In the meantime, if you want to start 2012 off with  a dose of pretty, pop over to Epheriell Designs where you have the chance to win one of my 2012 photo calendars.

And what did  you get for Christmas. I was completely spoilt ~ a beautiful necklace from koolaman designs and a Fuji Instax Mini! Yes, Hubby added to my camera collection.

I hope you are enjoying some down time however you are spending the holidays.

Don’t forget to find me on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram for more holiday fun.
