Fifteen favourite things



After yesterday's post, this one is much easier!

Obviously my family and faith come way above everything else, but here is 15 of the rest ....

  • Photography - whether with my iphone or DSLR (Canon 500D) I love to take pictures, and even when I don't take a photo, I am constantly seeing potential photo ops everywhere, and taking them in my mind!
  • The Beach - preferably a sandy beach with crashing waves 

  • My Bathroom - I much prefer baths to showers, and since my bathroom makeover I love them evenmore!

  • Christmas - I love everything about Christmas, from the Christmas story of Jesus who came to change the world, to the tree, the lights, the food ..... even the brussel sprouts!


  •  Blogging - when I started my blog 5 years ago I had no idea of how much I would  enjoy it. I love the community aspect, the conversations and connections. I have made friends around the world. I am sure my English teachers would be surprised by my love of writing!
Here are a few of my previous  blog headers



 Just realised I really ought to change my wintery header to something more May-like!
  • House Swapping - using www.homeexchange.com we have swapped our cottage on the north coast of N Ireland for holidays in Paris, Boston, Cape Cod, Galway, Dublin and Donegal. This summer we are heading to the Cotswolds in England.

  • Digital Scrapbooking - Not doing as much as I used to, but it was through digital scrapbooking that I discovered blogging. Here are a few of my favourite digi-scrapped images



  •  Diet Coke - love it

  •  Our cat George - never expected to turn into a cat lady - much preferred dogs, but now we have George can't imagine not having him!
  •  Paris - we went there for our 10th anniversary, and back for my husband's 40th birthday. 

  • Our holiday cottage - it is great to get away to the north coast of N Ireland - it is near some great beaches, the Giants Causeway and Dunluce Castle

  •   Pinterest - love it - follow me HERE
  • Sky + - I love to record tv programmes to watch while I am creating my jewellery.
  • An open fire. In our first home we had an open fireplace, but here we have a gas fire in the fireplace. At our cottage we recently took out the gas fire there, and now have an open fire. 

  •  Being able to work from home and be my own boss - it is a priviledge!
