ANOTHER Award!

And here was me thinking the Oscars weren't taking place till February but I seem to be getting awards a plenty so thank you very much all you lovely bloggers out there!

The latest award I've received is from Sherri

This award is given for recognition of cultural, ethical, literary, and personal values transmitted in the form of creative and original writing. These stamps were created with the intention of promoting fraternization between bloggers, a way of showing affection and gratitude for work that adds value to the Web

Thank you

Slowly Getting There

I was finally motivated Sunday evening and sorted out my wardrobe and now it looks like this

I also had time in the week to play my new draw organiser, see how pretty my make up looks now

Would you think me sad if I told you how I kept peeking into the draw to admire it's tidiness!

I still have many more draws and corners of my room to sort through but it's getting there

It's also been a good week for awards

I received the following award from 3 lovely ladies, Gem, Josie-Mary & Rachel

And the Fab Blog award from Yvonne at Country Bliss

Thank you ladies

I would pass it on but I've seen it appearing a lot of blogs I've visited so don't want to double up. If you pay me a visit and leave a comment on this post, please consider the award yours

What Does Victoria Mean?

You Are Driven and Tireless

You are very hyper. You never slow down, even when it's killing you. You're the type of person who can be a workaholic during the day... and still have the energy to party all night. Your energy is definitely a magnet for those around you. People are addicted to your vibe. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are very open. You communicate well, and you connect with other people easily. You are a naturally creative person. Ideas just flow from your mind. A true chameleon, you are many things at different points in your life. You are very adaptable. You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life. You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home. You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble. You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life. You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you. At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality.

What's" Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

Boot Sale Treasure

I did some thrifting today and look at the goodies I found

More figures and books to add to my collections

A hat to remove the flower from

Some games to use in crafting projects

I love this roses painting which mum has stole to display in our toilet!

I'm writing this post perched on my bed surrounded by clothes I've emptied from my wardrobe... finally the motivation to sort and organise has kicked in at 8pm on a Saturday night!

Victoria's Home

How could I resist these storage jars from TK Maxx when they so obviously are made for me!!!

I've also got a similar cookie jar by Victoria's Home, maybe by the time I am able to move out I'll have a full selection of them that I'll find on my travels

No Bills

The postman wasn't delivering nasty bills today, look what I received instead

The Valentine's issue of Romantic Homes and a wonderful gift from Twyla & Lindsey

How kind of them to send me something to say thank you for winning my giveaway! (and how naughty do I feel as I'm still getting round to sending out the books!)

I still haven't received addresses from Tilly Rose or Andrea (no blog so I can't leave a comment!) so if anyone hears from them please pass on the news that they were winners!

Sorry to those of you that haven't yet received your books... Christmas and the January slump has put me behind with soooo many things! I promise they're going out in the week

I hope you're all having a fabulous weekend, I'm off to do some shopping for my partner Teena for our Valentines swap tomorrow
