My 14th Birthday!!

-

 Yay!

💮💮💮💮💮💮💮💮💮



Thursday the 3rd of August was my birthday.
My family brought me my presents in bed and sang 'Happy Birthday to you' to me. We always do this on birthdays in our house.
I opened them one by one and read my cards. 
Here are all my lovely handmade cards!
These are the things I got given:
My Aunty gave me Christy Miller Volume 2.


I love how fun,summer-y and bright the spines look together.


I got these from one of our neighbours. I think there are so pretty.


My little brother made the small cardboard thing,it's a camera. The chocolates were from my Mum and my younger sister made the little purple soap.


My parents got me this skirt which I really like because it is comfortable and simple.

The rest of Thursday was spent at home reading.

I chose Italian Cream Cake for my birthday cake. We had never made it before. I had heard about it when I read 'The Icing on the Cake' by Janice Thompson and looked up a recipe.
Here the link to the recipe we used: Italian Cream Cake recipe




I really liked it. It's fluffy, vanilla-ry,and the icing is lovely and creamy!
I definitely recommend you try it.

August Favourites

Wow, August has come to an end already! I am so excited that Spring is basically here now. The sunny weather and longer days have really done something to my creative juices, which seemed to be hibernating during winter and now there are awake and flowing again. Books The Beautiful Pretender by Melanie Dickerson My goodness, I enjoyed this book so much! I have a full review in the works but I definitely had to mention it in this post. It's like the second book its series(Medieval Fairytale series). I have just started the third and final book, The Noble Servant and it is equally as intriguing as The Beautiful Pretender. And the cover of TBP....so pretty! Sarah, Plain, and Tall by Patricia MacLachlan This book has become a new all-time favourite of mine! I found this on audiobook on my library's app and since I'd seen the movies a long time ago I decided to give it a go and get a boost on my Goodreads reading challenge. But I never would have known how much

What's on my Autumn Wardrobe Wishlist

  Summer is slowly coming to an end and I'm gearing up for the cooler weather by thinking about my autumn wardrobe. I'm planning a little thrifting trip in the next few weeks so I'm hoping I'll be able to find at least a few of these pieces while I'm there.  One of my wardrobe goals for the past couple of years has been to simplify & make it more minimal by slowly adding more basics and colours that easily mix & match with one another. So I kept this idea in mind while I'm putting together this list.  I've noticed that what's lacking in my autumn wardrobe is more tops rather than bottoms.  You can easily get away with only a few bottoms but it's usually the top you're wearing that people notice. So its good to have a little variety!  With all that being said, here are a few things I'm hoping to add to my autumn closet this season. Knit sweaters in neutral tones (white, beige, grey etc.) Source Lately, I've really been loving neutr

She is called Daughter

                                                                      She stood there. Watching. Waiting and dreaming.  Watching the wind toss the branches of the trees. Waiting in the stillness. And dreaming of things still to come. She adored the sweet solace she found on that quiet hill.  How the dainty flowers that grew there, bobbing back and forth in the breeze. For many years she had come here and always to escape the crowd. How they pushed and pulled her; it filled her head with fog. So she came to the quiet hill that felt closer to the sky, to have heavenly conversations with the Father of her heart.  Sometimes she would just sit and think.  Other times she might sing. Often she would pick armfuls of blossoms. But always she knew whose watchful eye was over her and she'd smile at the thought. It was while she was standing there dreaming, that when the breezes stilled, she heard the grasses rustling at her side. She saw a figure approaching,
