Instagram ???

My new thing this week is Instagram.......

It is crazy good!! However i had no idea what it actually was until my cousin Jayde starting explaining it to my aunty and my mum.
Jayde's instagram is actually pretty interesting, its pretty much her sharing herself with her follows in the form of cute little pictures. She mixes business with pleasure in a fun way. Sometimes she'll post pictures of the cutest little man in the world, or what she's doing in the day, she posts sneak peaks of divine products she's getting, or already has on display in her beautiful paper boutique Little Paper Lane ( its in Mona Vale in Sydney N.S.W and if you havent been there its really worth the look, her stuff is sooo lovely, and unique, lots of cute things you won't find in any of your run of the mill stationery stores.)
Its a super fast and super fun way of sharing little bits and pieces of your life with your followers through photographs. All you need is an iphone and something to take a photo of.. The beauty of it also is that it allows you to upload your pictures to facebook or twitter, and its really easy, which is good! Not only are you sharing with your instagram friends you're also sharing with your facebook and/or twitter friends as well.

One of my Instagram shots, this is my FAVOURITE teacup at the moment.

I already had a couple of followers before i even knew what i was doing, it's crazy...
This is the first Instagram photo i took, i actually took a photo of a photo. It had been a while since i had seen my boyfriend Tim, as he's just got his wisdom teeth out (ouch) and took a while to recover from it, poor thing. Anyway i took this photo of us to let him and everyone else on my friends lists to know i was thinking of him.

I suppose you could call it a little sneak peak into my life, the things that make me laugh, the things that make me happy, and the things that brighten up each and every one of my days...
Slowly but surely i am getting the hang of it....
One thing i'm bummed i missed out on is FEB PHOTO A DAY. Which has come from FAT MUM SLIM, below is how you play and take part in the challenge, she has used some great words and i'm seeing some great pictures from my friends. For example, yesterday's word was "10am" so my Aunty put some of her delicious Sweet n Pretty cookies into the shape of a clock with the time being 10am, so creative. Anyway below are the rules (I'm hoping she does another one in March, so i can play hehe)

Here's how to play: (TAKEN FROM www.fatmumslim.com.au)

1. Use the list above as inspiration and take a photo everyday. For example for number one on the list, 'your view today' you'd take a shot of whatever it is that you can see today. This would be a wider shot of your office space, where you went for a walk, or whatever it is that you can see!

2. Share on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr, your blog or where ever it is you want to share. If you're sharing on Instagram or Twitter use the hashtag #FEBphotoaday so everyone can find them. There's a great community around the photo sharing, so do share!

3. Check out everyone else's pictures. I do it before I go to bed each night and it's so fun to see how different everyone's photos are. There are people from every corner of the world playing.

It's such a fantastic concept, absolutely LOVE it...

I'm making a mobile for my Uncles new baby, she's due in March, very soon, so i thought i'd make her something special that she could keep forever :-)

My BEST BEST BEST friend Keira, is getting married in October, i'm lucky enough to be her maid of honour, and i am so excited to be a part of her day, this save the date card makes me sooooo excited.
