Doing it for a cause

I am busy planning and organising the third annual charity ball to be held on 2 February 2013 and what fun I am having!

This year's event will be more than just another Formal Affair and I am hoping that the guests will be rocking it in some interesting masks for the Masquerade Ball!

For those of you that are in Jozie, here are the details, do not hesitate to contact me if you would like to attend the event...

For those that have already booked their tickets, here are some interesting ideas for the event:

I am sooooo exited for the Charity ball! Perhaps I've lured some of you to attend the event with this post... Have a good Monday all xoxo

DIY Thursday _ Can you feel the love?

Put your love on display with the beautiful DIY Scandinavian-inspired wooden heart.

I saw this DIY tutorial ages ago and filed it in my to-do list but just haven't had the time to make it. What an easy and pretty item to make for your house!!

Off air for a few days

Tomorrow I am off to KwaZulu-Natal for a few days to support the husband in the Dusi Canoe Marathon.

We will be road tripping and I am already looking forward to seeing some of South Africa's beautiful scenery!

So, as I will be bundu-bashing for the next few days, I will probably be "off-line" and not able to do any blog posts, but if given half a chance I will definitely make the effort to put something up!

I leave you with my quote of the week:

From here

"Jesus wants me for a SUNBEAM", so that is exactly what I will be!

Have a lovely week dear reader and may you feel the joy and warmth of this month of love!

For the one you love

Love that lasts a lifetime

I just stumbled onto this image and I absolutely LOVE it!

As previously mentioned many exciting and happy romantic things are happening around me at the moment and when I saw this picture it made me think of friends, family and of course -  my own husband... having known Ewoud for years I am looking forward to seeing our "love-collage" like this one day.

When we choose to make make a commitment to someone it must be an indefinite commitment - something without boundaries and without limits... when we choose to commit we choose to stick around no matter what.

Tying the knot

Don't say I did not warn you about future wedding posts a while ago!

With more of my very close friends making the promise to tie the knot recently, I could not resist the urge indulge in this romantic, lovely topic... Here are some very inspirational moments, moods and settings for the perfect wedding.

For a small and intimate affair this outdoor setting is just perfect!
