Motivational Monday #8

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Something a little different today. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">If you have been following this series (all previous posts linked below) you will have noted that I take inspirational words/typography from <a href="http://pinterest.com/louiseglitter/boards/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>Pinterest</b></a> and we have a little chat about how we can incorporate it into our own lives.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Well this week, rather than using the a pin already found, I decided to make my own. I would like to encourage you to pin it on whatever board you see fit (if you like it of course) and then we can all add to the world of inspirational words! Yay! I've made two versions so please pin the one you like best. I wonder which one will win?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhINWaNOR2shr_GUMPu8VzxOInR4325yOp8RHs22qOZSu_gaKZrRy22VYRYAt4JrtDQT5XpUcrdBtl9TeeXVcIyKViuZkq29JiRqO5Jaqva-vV9xC4a9FBQ-Kbw7_eeEsO8G-LozfXRDZjn/s1600/Quote.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Inspirational Quote" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhINWaNOR2shr_GUMPu8VzxOInR4325yOp8RHs22qOZSu_gaKZrRy22VYRYAt4JrtDQT5XpUcrdBtl9TeeXVcIyKViuZkq29JiRqO5Jaqva-vV9xC4a9FBQ-Kbw7_eeEsO8G-LozfXRDZjn/s640/Quote.jpg" title="Inspirational Quote" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Please pin whichever quote looks most appealing to you. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy36BInmfafYhtOJsnMgRvLDHOQ8yKyu8S3L3vESr9RjJzRgDXy7NpGBnFm5fw92n8QWFzHNn5-qSrErI3AP10IGIpf3BGDXVJmo3UppP1um-HCzz7woN2ZOelVI1T0xEfTtGyQUUCwpBv/s1600/quote3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Inspirational Quote" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy36BInmfafYhtOJsnMgRvLDHOQ8yKyu8S3L3vESr9RjJzRgDXy7NpGBnFm5fw92n8QWFzHNn5-qSrErI3AP10IGIpf3BGDXVJmo3UppP1um-HCzz7woN2ZOelVI1T0xEfTtGyQUUCwpBv/s640/quote3.jpg" title="Inspirational Quote" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">So this is a quote that I think my Dad told me when I was about 9 and struggling with my school work and it's stuck with me for nearly 20 years.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The idea is that if you carry on doing all the same things, nothing will ever change. It pushes you to try something a little different and reap the rewards of a new outcome. It's really, really easy to get stuck in a rut (believe me, I'm Mrs Rut!) and begrudge things in your life, but more often than not, it's something we can change ourselves. For example, whilst I was in Orlando, every single time I had to put swimwear on I would think, 'Urgh my thighs are so jibbly'. It's all very well thinking they're jibbly but then if I carry on just sitting about thinking it, they're not going to change. I need to do something different, like a smidge of exercise here and there! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Think about something you're not happy about in your life today. Now think about something you could do differently to help it. I'm not suggesting playing the lottery in the hope of paying off all your debts, but achievable things, like swapping a fizzy drink at lunch time for a bottle of water, or swapping  watching Hollyoaks (who watches it anyway?!?!) for 30 minutes of extra homework.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Is there anything you can do differently? Will you be pinning either of these quotes?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;

Amazing Advertisers | | March 2013

<div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Spring has sprung and we're firmly planted in March now. This month has been busy and hectic and is about to get a whole lot busier as I mentioned <a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">here</a>.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I've been blogging lots this month (did you notice?) so I'm sure most you will have noticed the lovely advertisers adding some colour to my sidebar. Let's delve in a bit closer and get to know them.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgykX2ZEGdokMk-lmrvrQA0pRbGse2vR5YSgzI_JXUV-1QUmxAIWy1aCl-g6fZYPFx9MsY43CWGPg93t8bcAImAOqUuTj-9XvRJg4prYkTGp4XJNqxm38EpDGjz8hpgfqqB3hu1SJjpLeLi/s1600/tumblr_mjw1afPRAE1qjlrc4o1_500_large.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="435" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgykX2ZEGdokMk-lmrvrQA0pRbGse2vR5YSgzI_JXUV-1QUmxAIWy1aCl-g6fZYPFx9MsY43CWGPg93t8bcAImAOqUuTj-9XvRJg4prYkTGp4XJNqxm38EpDGjz8hpgfqqB3hu1SJjpLeLi/s640/tumblr_mjw1afPRAE1qjlrc4o1_500_large.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />Image <a href="http://weheartit.com/entry/55769057/via/bagoon" target="_blank">we heart it</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.kittenishbehaviour.com/store/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Kittenish Behaviour</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Kittenish Behaviour is my Ultimate Advertiser this month and oh me, oh my this site brims over with beauty. They sell the most beautiful dresses with more than air of vintage and retro inspiration to them. Creative Director (that sounds swish) Sian has her own blog as part of the site too where she shares her fashion favourites and chic activities. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://beaublushes.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Beau Blushes</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This is one of those blogs where you can really settle in for a good read and feel like you get to know the person on the other side of the screen, plus her header is really pretty - right up my visual street. Covering lots of aspects of life including beauty (some great swatches), life with illness and home decor.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.blushingappraisal.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Blushing Appraisal </a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">A blog written by a lovely 22 year old Canadian with a very fancy sounding job which involves looking foxy in a hard hat by the sounds of things. Featuring in depth and quite funny beauty reviews with a really easy to navigate layout and great pictures.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.chloeandisabel.com/boutique/tarinwilliams" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Chloe & Isabel</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Are you a fan of sparkly, pretty things? Is that a yes? Then like me, you'll be a fan of Chloe & Isabel, which is an online jewellery store run by Tarin, based in Texas. She sells a stylish and girlie selection of  jewels including cocktail rings, earrings and great necklaces.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://fatzee.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Angel's Corner</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This little slice of the web seems custom made to suit the colours I enjoy - check out the prettiness! Featuring talk of beauty, life and even food art - happiness is never far away on this blog. Through this blog I have even been introduced to the aforementioned food art, seriously who knew such a thing existed but an owl made from Nutella and apricots? I'm enthralled. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.daydreaminblue.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Day Dream in Blue</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Day Dream in Blue is written by 18 year old Tom based in the big smoke of London. The clean design of this blog is also reflected in the posts Tom shares from his life. His clean, chic clothing wish lists make me think he is quite the dapper chap and his recent Ikea hauls make me swoon.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.charlotteswebblog.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Charlotte's Web</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Charlotte shares her life with us, talking through things she loves and things that are happening with her at the moment. I really enjoy her relationship posts, they're refreshingly honest without being depressing.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.adventuresafterhours.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Adventures After Hours</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This chap (yes another chap!) - Danny, seems to live an incredibly glamorous life, jetting off here and there and he shares his adventures along with a peek at his style. His positive outlook has me checking back for new posts on a regular basis.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://allsortsandanecdotes.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Allsorts & Anecdotes </a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Lynsey lives north o' the border in Scotland and runs this delicious lifestyle blog which includes everything from her thoughts on social media, beauty posts and updates on her travels. I think she is in Hong Kong right now, jealous or what?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://stacie-lifeisworththefight.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Life is Worth the Fight</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This compelling blog is written by Stacie who is currently awaiting a heart and lung transplant. Her outlook on life whilst facing something so scary is both humbling and incredibly, incredibly inspiring. Her story will have you in tears but reading her blog makes you realise life is good. I like the way Stacie sees things.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">That's it for this month, I hope you've discovered someone new.</div><div style="text-align: center;">If you'd like to advertise with Sprinkle of Glitter you can find all of the information collected together <a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/p/sponsor.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><div style="color: #666666;

The pressure was too much. I figured if I was going away for a week I'd rather spend the day with Darcy and Matt than tip tapping away on my laptop...as much as I love a good tip tap. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Instead what I might do is upload a little bit whilst I'm out there. I plan on taking my canon so that I can have lots and lots of lovely photographic memories so maybe I'll upload a snap a day or something of that sort. I'm being super flippant because I don't want to work myself up about it. I find that when I make a blog promise I feel really compelled to carry it out, regardless of whether it actually suits my life or not.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Hopefully, I'll be around. If I'm not, just know that I'll be back and I'm probably too busy binging on IHOP to get my tiptapping on.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Have a lovely week wherever you are!</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: #666666;

Motivational Monday #7

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Did you have a good weekend? I hope so.</div><div style="text-align: center;">  </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLrV1-0Vk1f9lLFOWnUHKT1lN6WlruYBMEP-CG5NrfgQT_yfyzFwIKyQUKrseCSanwYHdwI2__HF41rtPW4-2jDbiqW4E7WFr3dJhBujFUcY0RRKAIy2R1jDO2BLlJI1Mgycu3aX-RVsz2/s1600/Screen+Shot+2013-03-11+at+09.41.42.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Motivational Monday | Sprinkle of Glitter" border="0" height="520" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLrV1-0Vk1f9lLFOWnUHKT1lN6WlruYBMEP-CG5NrfgQT_yfyzFwIKyQUKrseCSanwYHdwI2__HF41rtPW4-2jDbiqW4E7WFr3dJhBujFUcY0RRKAIy2R1jDO2BLlJI1Mgycu3aX-RVsz2/s640/Screen+Shot+2013-03-11+at+09.41.42.png" title="Motivational Monday | Sprinkle of Glitter" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I chose these words (from <a href="http://pinterest.com/louiseglitter/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>) today because they really struck a cord with me. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Obviously, if we all had our way we would be squillionaires driving round in pink Ferrari's and flying off in our own jet to our palace made of shells and diamonds. This is a given. As it happens, the chances of these things happening (a palace made of shells??) are pretty slim.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Not having a shell castle though, is no reason to be a misery and I think that if you take as much delight in the little things as you do the huge great ones, you will feel all the better for it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">A great example of this is instagram. Instagram is a free app which encourages you to take little phone snapshots of anything you like and share them with the instacommunity. I find that I take pictures of things I would never normally deem worthy enough the attention of my canon but yet really love them. Things like a snail slithering up a wall or the mess Darcy makes with her toys or the shoes I wore that day all become merry little focuses of my attention and I find myself noticing more and more all the good things around me.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">When you love all the little things, they really truly add up and you will find your spirits so lifted from doing so.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">What small things will you do with great love today?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Previously...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/motivational-monday-1.html" target="_blank">Motivational Monday #1</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/motivational-monday-2.html" target="_blank">Motivational Monday #2</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/motivational-monday-3.html" target="_blank">Motivational Monday #3</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/motivational-monday-4.html" target="_blank">Motivational Monday #4 </a></div><div style="text-align: center;">  <a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/motivational-monday-5.html" target="_blank">Motivational Monday #5  </a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/motivational-monday-6.html" target="_blank">Motivational Monday #6 </a></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="color: #666666;

Blue Skies and Happy Days

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I've had a big sexy canon camera now for almost a year and over that time I have really grown in confidence with photography. I love taking snaps of every day life and have gone from taking only posed smiley pictures to capturing the little moments of life that show real emotion and evoke real memories.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Recently I have been looking through my files and deciding which pictures I'm going to have printed onto canvasses for my wall. I currently have one lonely canvass of a 7 month old Darcybird and I have decided that each month I will treat our wall to a couple more. Over time I want to have a collection of all the things and people we love. Like a scrapbook of our shared life on our walls.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia6C5wiQKUZNGrHAMzn3pfzht1PO1dCDFgGHcPMi08WclFHGJGxQ-WuiHq7OlEgYvvEH6UeZY0Ijh8tQcw1LTTzozJMDV4KsDUfWLKUM4aFiF0Yki9H3_Rk64JuYMul3tXrkTDph4ONsI7/s1600/Legs.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Sprinkle of Glitter Wall Art Decor" border="0" height="440" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia6C5wiQKUZNGrHAMzn3pfzht1PO1dCDFgGHcPMi08WclFHGJGxQ-WuiHq7OlEgYvvEH6UeZY0Ijh8tQcw1LTTzozJMDV4KsDUfWLKUM4aFiF0Yki9H3_Rk64JuYMul3tXrkTDph4ONsI7/s640/Legs.jpg" title="Sprinkle of Glitter Wall Art Decor" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(Here's me harping on about how I capture the moment and actually Zoe took this photograph for me. I like it because even though it doesn't show our faces, or even my head, you can see a lot of love and bonding in it. It was taken last summer on a really hot day at an amusement park/safari in the SouthWest. It was such a brilliant weekend and I hope I have so many more like it this year.)</span></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzNG3lR0FFNdX3y2V_pTHJ5UGbOi-SZohJgozdXu1QKNacVGjeu9j4bxuNN110b10lZFJ_Ncqy_kVHS1tK4z9ELscR1-sC_018DZP1M34lcWBT8jkS4BpL1xgDmasfn1Zi3UTLuwdQfswq/s1600/Matt+and+Darcy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Sprinkle of Glitter Wall Art Decor" border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzNG3lR0FFNdX3y2V_pTHJ5UGbOi-SZohJgozdXu1QKNacVGjeu9j4bxuNN110b10lZFJ_Ncqy_kVHS1tK4z9ELscR1-sC_018DZP1M34lcWBT8jkS4BpL1xgDmasfn1Zi3UTLuwdQfswq/s640/Matt+and+Darcy.jpg" title="Sprinkle of Glitter Wall Art Decor" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>(This is Matt and Darcy in Liverpool looking round one of the new museums. I love that neither of them are looking into the lens and that we have such a good shot of Darcy's profile. It changes so much as she grows. I also think Matt looks unbearably handsome in this. Can you believe I got to marry that man?!?)</i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS6o4Yrz4WR_ZgnTMvlYV55nMLIUD8s80Bf35ONXqtVCk3E8h4Ro83G1xqc2qFjX0Cg6h_N95Fy3O1eQRMEoeh8HCVUoDIR2uD3rxq3ERvOivYMo1oaXLwSVLTwDL7wi5CrYwBI5UDx-zH/s1600/Kisses.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Sprinkle of Glitter Wall Art Decor" border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS6o4Yrz4WR_ZgnTMvlYV55nMLIUD8s80Bf35ONXqtVCk3E8h4Ro83G1xqc2qFjX0Cg6h_N95Fy3O1eQRMEoeh8HCVUoDIR2uD3rxq3ERvOivYMo1oaXLwSVLTwDL7wi5CrYwBI5UDx-zH/s640/Kisses.jpg" title="Sprinkle of Glitter Wall Art Decor" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>(Another shot from Zoe- gad zukes I love that woman. She is literally the only person I know that if I said, 'Please will you photograph my child's Christening/a party/a day/a wedding etc', she would get it spot on and exactly to my taste. She has such great style. </i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>I love this image because it captures so much love. Love from me and the love of Darcy enjoying it. In a really OCD way, I also really like that our clothes match and the yellow of the little train we were on matches. It also brings back memories from a really happy day with Zoe, her brother and my sister.)</i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This month I will be ordering all three photographs. I use a site called Photobox which I have always had fantastic service from. When you sign up (for free, with your email address) you are given a credit for 40-50 free prints which I thought was good. I had a load of baby pictures printed so that I could give them out to extended family who hadn't seen her and weren't overly familiar with modern technology- Auntie Bridget, I'm looking at you. They also have an offer where if you recommend a friend to them and that friend signs up (and then they get the free prints) then you are given credits for a free photobook. I recommended quite a few of my personal facebook friends and now have 3 free photobooks and they have a load of prints! YAY! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">If you would like me to recommend you and help me get a photobook, leave your email address below and I will over the next day or so. TO BE VERY CLEAR- you do not have to do this AT ALL and I'm not being paid to ask or any of that business. I just like the little free photobooks you can make! Haha! I keep making little baby books for Darcy or books of the cat or of pretty pictures. So, this isn't a big hoo-har, just a thrifty woman asking if you wanna work together to make the most of an offer.

Draw My Life

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I upload videos to my main channel (click <a href="http://www.youtube.com/sprinkleofglitter" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a> to stalk it) every single Sunday. Sometimes I upload bonus videos throughout the week.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Last week, I uploaded a video that was really out of my comfort zone, both emotionally and technically. I really enjoy to challenge myself every now and again (my previous challenge had been <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4CG7z7gyDI" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">THIS Baby Glitter Lookbook</a>) and to see what I can achieve when I set my mind to it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Draw My Life was not my original concept. It was created by another YouTuber who encouraged others to do the same and have a go. So I did. And I was amazed.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/rdhW9yXPoEM" width="640"></iframe> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I have been overwhelmed by the support and kindness viewers have shown me. I have been inundated with text messages and phonecalls from 'real life' friends and have had lovely conversations with family who watched it too.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">It's funny how you can sit on so much stuff and then one day, make a 6 minute summary and all of a sudden, people who had been dormant in your life care. It made me think that maybe, even on days when we feel nobody notices, there are more people than you think waiting to love you.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I hope that should any of my friends or family open up in similar way, I can show them the same warmth that they have shown me.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The world feels like a very friendly place this week. Long may it last.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Tell me the best thing that has happened to you this week and the comments will be a VERY happy place.  </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: #666666;

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I have mentioned it a few times on my YouTube Channel now so this may not be<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif;"> of</span></span> news to some of you. This month I am flying out to Florida to attend a YouTube convention called PlayList Live and could not be more excited!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The trip will contain almost all of my most favourite things in life - Orlando, airports, youtube chat, good friends, yummy food, disney and shopping! The only things missing on that list are my family but I know they will be safe and happy at home- our inlaws are coming to stay for the week so Baby Glitter will be beside herself, she loves being spoilt by them!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Like any beauty obsessed gal, I took this as a great excuse to go to Boots and stock up on minis.

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinkerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Woah there sailor (?!), when did I become a Mother of an almost two year old? Surely I was only pregnant three and a half seconds ago?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">That aside, I'm having a little party afternoon for her and thought it might be nice to send official through the post since I'm oddly quaint that way.  </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiATiM2AHjvAEEJjqnXegj0-9jKVYy4AIRsEspYkWIzYfTWUyDlmSS94LByE4XtEaw2hZFKz8sTcT_5T4mG47QMwFLWOR6De7DVPK-0w_kWLsHkl6GZ7BOiT1ZoBH5Sa7XLohFD4GqS2250/s1600/Postcard+Invites.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Postcard Invitations | Sprinkle of Glitter" border="0" height="416" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiATiM2AHjvAEEJjqnXegj0-9jKVYy4AIRsEspYkWIzYfTWUyDlmSS94LByE4XtEaw2hZFKz8sTcT_5T4mG47QMwFLWOR6De7DVPK-0w_kWLsHkl6GZ7BOiT1ZoBH5Sa7XLohFD4GqS2250/s640/Postcard+Invites.jpg" title="Postcard Invitations | Sprinkle of Glitter" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">To save myself the bother of notelets and envelopes, I decided to go with their lazy cousin option- the postcard.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I used a website called <a href="http://www.photobox.co.uk/" target="_blank">photobox</a> (they haven't asked me to write this post and I paid with my own pennies), uploaded an image that I liked (which I previously edited on picmonkey), selected how many I wanted and voila, £6.99 for 10 and 2 days later, my invites where on my doormat.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm sharing this with you because a) it excites me, b) it was super easy, fast and affordable and c) because I didn't know about it until I did a little research, so it may well come in handy for you. A little life tip to store away until you need it. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">So far the postcards have been a hit and I shall keep a couple back myself to save as mementos.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">What do you think? New age postcards or old school notelets and enevelopes? I have a tonne of crafts planned for her birthday so do keep your eyes peeled for those soon!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif;

Motivational Monday #6

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Firstly, oh hello 700th post on this blog. 700!! Go me!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Secondly, here we are on another merry Monday with another dose of motivation. Are you enjoying these posts? They are fast becoming my favourite to write. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtmsnyOMzJFP-_SFIEqKUvt2itGKH6edrDrlrdpSeOFgcaNuKsla9IDaucyGFTkBEJQ_OTQzhuC3ITaWtwlJteupEtKZQxRHNpm_bX4upvv24bG6Q3QNz90-0skHrSZIfVGsaX_mlpliZM/s1600/Screen+Shot+2013-03-07+at+13.40.37.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Motivational Monday | Sprinkle of Glitter" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtmsnyOMzJFP-_SFIEqKUvt2itGKH6edrDrlrdpSeOFgcaNuKsla9IDaucyGFTkBEJQ_OTQzhuC3ITaWtwlJteupEtKZQxRHNpm_bX4upvv24bG6Q3QNz90-0skHrSZIfVGsaX_mlpliZM/s640/Screen+Shot+2013-03-07+at+13.40.37.png" title="Motivational Monday | Sprinkle of Glitter" width="500" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I chose this quote today (again, from <a href="http://pinterest.com/louiseglitter/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>) because I thought it was pretty apt for my 700th post and is something I agree whole heartedly.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">When you think of success, what do you think of? Do you think of happiness, wealth, certain goals? How do you plan on getting to them? The majority of the time, the answer is going to lie in the field of 'hard work'.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The person I consider to be most successful in my life is my Dad. He was raised in a modest family with normal things. He went to a normal school and worked very hard. He trained as an accountant and decided that it wasn't for him, worked in sales and then decided to take the plunge and set up his own business. Twenty to thirty years on, he has been tres successful and as well as having the world's greatest Daughter (mwahaha) he also has all the lovely things he has worked for. There are times when I look at his lovely house or fabulous holidays with a tinge of envy and think, 'Why can't I have those things?'. And this answer is, "I can". The bit in between those two things though is called hard work.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">My Dad didn't just wake up with a lovely home or fall into lovely experiences, he poured his time, his energies and his thoughts into his work. He didn't sit about watching TV wondering when success would come knocking, he physically made it happen. He didn't take an elevator, he sweated his way up the stairs and now he's up the top and can be proud of himself.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I feel a little bit like that for this blog. No, it isn't World Number One Blog of The Year, but to me, it's a success. It's what I want it to be. To make it what I want it to be, I've worked really bloomin' hard. I have spent hundred of hours on it, I think about it daily, I research ways to improve it and above all, I pour love and energy into it gladly. I don't resent the work, I relish in it because I know how amazing it feels to achieve the little goals you set yourself. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">If you have something you want to do, do it. Enjoy knowing that you can and will achieve your goals if you work for them and enjoy the journey to getting there. When you look at it in the right way, it's immensely satisfying. There is nothing you cannot do if you work hard enough for it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">If there is something you want to achieve this week, start today and take the first step of your stairs.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Previously...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/motivational-monday-1.html" target="_blank">Motivational Monday #1</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/motivational-monday-2.html" target="_blank">Motivational Monday #2</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/motivational-monday-3.html" target="_blank">Motivational Monday #3 </a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/motivational-monday-4.html" target="_blank">Motivational Monday #4 </a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/motivational-monday-5.html" target="_blank">Motivational Monday #5  </a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div></div><div style="color: #666666;
