Love Zine + Giveaway (entry closed)

So over the past few months I've been collating old poems, letters and cards that Ben and I have been writing to each other since 2010. The idea was to put together a love zine of all the best! This process took longer than I had imagined but I'm super thrilled with the outcome. A whole lot of love has gone into making this zine be the prettiest it can be!

I thought valentines would be a lovely day to share this on the blog and bonus points as it's only a few weeks on from our seven year anniversary too :)

The zine is A5 and you can go grab yourself a copy over on my etsy store (more info there as well!).

Someone who gets me :)

I’m so blessed to have met Ben, he looks after my happiness in crazy way.  I came home the other day after a bad shift at work and had a vent on the phone to Ben (he is still out in the desert for work, only one week to go though!!).   The very next day, a big bunch of flowers were delivered to me :) Ben later said, it was all he could think to do, being so far away.  It was a really nice surprise but maybe even nicer than getting flowers was knowing, how well Ben knows me.

One of the first things Ben asked me that evening was “did they deliver them around the back?” I told him no. The only people who do that are a) the mailman or b) angry neighbours. I’ve had to cop an angry neighbour confrontation before and since then I’ve been too scared to answer the front door :P Ben said he made sure to give special instructions to deliver the flowers to the back door, knowing I’d be too scared to answer anyone knocking on the front.  Even though the flower guy messed up, I had the hugest smile knowing, someone gets my strange ways :)

 

P.S. I’ve been inspired by Irela’s blog lately and how she lays out her photos, so I thought I’d try something different myself.  I’ve used Pugly Pixel’s Photo Layouts which were simple and easy to use in Photoshop :)

Eggs Benny

I had to get up at 5 am (way too early!) this morning to drop off Ben and Lowie to their seismic jobs. When I say I had to, I did get to snooze on the drive down to Brisbane which turned out to be the most glorious indulgent sleep I've ever had, the kind where you don't take a minute of snooze for granted, you're extra cosy and the pillow is being all kinds of soft, ahhh, magical! What is not so magical is tonight, falling asleep alone. Luckily Ben's hitch is only three weeks this time, so that is magical. What else is magical is Ben and our last breakfast cook up! It was sooo good, even if the chickens did harass us all, as we sat down the back eating in the winter sun :) After taking this photo Daz joked and said "you're not going to Facebook that pic?" and I laughed back and said, "no I'm going to blog it" (nothing wrong with take photos of your food right?!? Lol)

I've had such fun times with Ben of late that it makes me even sadder he is gone. I've captured a moment in my head and I keep reliving it. The moment goes a little something like this, Ben bought a new (to him) car and the previous owner's CDs was still in the player, from that CD Ben discovered that "call me maybe song" which meant just yesterday we were rockin' out to it in his car as we drove to take pictures of a Big Dinosaur, which I need to get onto editing! I'm so happy I get to date someone who embraces lame things as much as me, well maybe not as much as me but he definitely let's me indulge in them and joins me on my lame quests :)

It's true what they say though, absence definitely makes the heart grow fonder :)

Love Blanket

Did this for a call out for a book.  

You needed to include the words "I love you" and for the art to be black and white,
fingers crossed!

I've also listed it as a print on etsy

Love!

Ben's a nice boyfriend, he is starting a job at the end of the month where it's 6 weeks on and 2 weeks off, stationed in the middle of Australia, or at least some kind of woop woop place! I'm a little scared, but hopefully it will force me to make more art and perhaps buy a tellie so I can watch some trashy tv in ben's absence :)
