Weekend loving

Yay for the weekend! I am exhausted and ready for a relaxed one!!

So what are your plans for this weekend? 

I am off to celebrate my mother-in-law's birthday and it is going to be a weekend-long family affair...not as relaxed as I would've preferred it, but it will be nice to see family and friends from far! The highlight for me is that little Paul Roux will also be attending the celebrations... whoop! The little man is growing up so fast!

If I could choose what and where I would be this weekend, I think this image captures exactly what I am in the mood for:

Perhaps next weekend.

Happy weekend dear readers! I have a big weekend ahead of me as I am hosting a Valentines Ball in aid of a charity for a local children's home. With romance in the air and a great location, I am sure this will be a remarkable formal affair.

As you can image I am running around today trying to tie all loose ends and making sure that tomorrow will run smoothly. Hold thumbs! I will post more on this event on Monday.

For now I am leaving you with my quote of the week:

So yet another week is coming to an end and we can tick off the first month of the year. Wow, I don't think I saw January properly!

So what are you up to this weekend? I am spending the weekend home alone as the husband is off to Cape Town until Wednesday. 

I will probably spend a few hours in front of my trusty friend the computer and also aim to make headway in my latest DIY project, my wall gallery, this is where I am at now:

I've painted all my old frames white in order to create unity.

Other great finds of the week include:
