Expressing Love Old School Style

This morning I woke up to a delightful surprise; a postcard in the mail from my boyfriend. How my heart leapt with joy and excitment as I opened this large envelope in my hands and revealed a cute little postcard which had the famous photo, "Lunch atop a Skyscraper", on it. Hand written in pencil were the words of a man's heart filled with love for me. What a wonderful way to start off the day. I do love receiving things in the post especially from my favourite person in the world. We are making the most of our long distance relationship by expressing love old school style.

Molly Gran

Today I had tea with my lovely granny, Molly Hayward. She is one of the most incredible women I know. Her wit and sense of humour matched with her intelligence and ability to concentrate make it hard to believe she is in her 80's. I took some photos of her while we enjoyed eachothers company and made them into a collage which is below.

Pretty Illustration

Juice, tea and coffee.
I recently came across a beautiful blog - http://happinessisat.blogspot.com where I discovered a stunning illustration of juice, tea and coffee. It inspired me to try copy it and create my own version. So below is the illustration I found, followed by my attempt at creating it.

I used Adobe Illustrator CS6.

{ 1st of March }

Yay yay yay! It's the 1st of March today!
Why I am so excited about this is because today is a very special day. Today marks one year since I hopped onto a plane to Cape Town where I met some of the most incredible human beings ever. Since then I have visited another 5 times and am very much inlove with one handsome man who lives there (Tyler Stewart Lynn). Today also marks three weeks until I hop onto a plane and venture off back to Cape Town to see my lovely friends and incredible boyfriend. While I was in Cape Town last year March I went to the Design Indaba which made my creative heart explode and have a heart attack. I am so bummed I am missing it this year, if I could hop on a plane right now I would!

Today I also presented my first project for second year which went very well and I am feeling very much inspired so I dabbled in some creative programmes and edited some photos with cool typography overlays which you can find below. Have a lovely day and be happy!

I heart market

Today I hit the I Heart Market for the first time this year. It wasn't as busy as usual because the weather was rather drizzly. But it was still a treat as always. There is a new stall called "Deer deer Tea Hunters". At the moment they are selling iced tea but in Winter they will sell hot tea. I had the sweet cranberry flavoured tea which had a hint of apple and cinnamon and it was delicious. Olivia had the blood orange flavour which apparently tasted good too but had a more bitter flavour. We saw our friends Simone and Mia and they posed for a picture with me as you can see below.

Awaken Youth Jols with Jesus

I don't know about you but I love joy, I'd much rather experiance joy then sadness. And what's so amazing is that God is full of joy. This means that we have joy pouring out of us as the fullness of God(the Holy Spirit) lives inside of us. My youth has caught onto this and we have been having some insanely joyful times together, tonight especially. We really are young, wild and free!
