diy : dry-erase calendar

Hi everyone!  I’ve wanted to share this since the day i made it but had to wait for my lovely sister Karlien to actually open her handmade birthday gift from me! It was such a fun project to make and very easy! Here’s some photos of the end result:

I came across the idea via here.

I used some lovely vintage rose paper I had lying around the house (back in the day when I still did scrapbooking). I carefully planned out the size of each block and row and drew it on the paper with a black marker. I wrote in pen the day of the week above each block in the first row, then I placed the paper inside the frame and wrote with an erasable pen the month and numbered the days in the blocks on the glass. And voila! That’s it, so easy and there you have a dry-erase calendar! Now I’m sort of mad at myself for not making one for myself as well. :)

Hope you liked my little diy (my very first one to share on my blog! Yay me!) Hopefully I’ll get to share another diy soon!
Have a fantastic day!

Paint Buckets Of Fun

I’ve told you many times before of my favourite place in the whole world (which is the abandoned cricket field just outside of Groblersdal), the last time I was there I’ve seen how people wrote vulgar words and pictures on the wall of one of the buildings there. The last time I was there with one of my friends, we decided that we had to buy paint to try and cover those pictures and words with more colour and “happy”-cute stuff (even a little domo that ‘ROARS’ in the photo above) the next time we visit that place. So, yesterday my friend Simone and I bought paint and brushes and went to the cricket field and there are no words to describe how much fun we had. Maybe these photos can speak where my words fail…

Simone and I going crazy with spray-paint :) …

The most fun I’ve ever had!! :) Hope you all enjoyed the photos and the “graffiti” we made… May you all have an wonderful and colourful weekend!

Long Weekend Snaps!

On Friday, 2 of my very best friends (Johann & Eldre) came to visit me at my home, we had whiskey, hubbly-bubbly and watched Invader Zim. (I highly recommend that show! So cute!) We had so much fun, pulling faces, and laughing so hard, I think we actually waked the neighbours!

On Saturday morning I went out with my cousin Carmen to a cute little restaurant, where we had the most delicious Carrot Cake and so many Hot Beverages, perfect in our rainy weather we had for the past week. I had a lovely time catching up!

She’s really beautiful, right!? And a lovely dancer I might add! :) 

She gives dancing lessons to students in school from Rustenburg. Must say, she probably is the most fun and talented dancing teacher ever!

On Sunday my parents from Groblersdal came to visit us here in Pretoria! 

Love it when they come to visit us, it’s actually the most decent food my sister and I had the whole week! :) (we don’t like cooking, meaning we have to clean-up afterwards, both of us hate that part!) 

On the left is Karlien’s daughter Katinka! She’s so cute! And i didn’t know an almost two year old can talk so much! In the middle a photo of my daddy and I. On the left, a photo of Karlien and I sitting outside after a huge and delicious lunch my mum cooked! 

On the left a photo my sister Karlien took of me, in the middle left is our pyppy Miemie! In the middle right, Katinka, and on the right is Heleen’s baby (she’s absolutely crazy about her dog Bakkies). 

On the left was what the weather was like the past week, in the middle a photo of me working on a new project for my room, will show you when I’m eventually finished with it. And on the right a origami crane, it’s part of my project. That’s basically what I did the whole weekend. 

On Monday, since it was Long weekend, I went out for a drink with my other cousin Sheraton, unfortunately I forgot to charge my batteries for my camera and it died on me before I could take any photos, I’m so mad at myself! :( 

Hope all of you had a wonderful weekend! :) 

And don’t forget to check back tomorrow for the “special” Hump Day Playlist! I’m very excited about this one! :)

Have a magnificent week with loads of colourful adventures!
