30 Days of Lists Update!

When I started 30 Days of Lists this time round I really didn't think I'd fall this far behind when it came to sharing the lists. I've managed to stay up to date on my Flickr account, but I cannot say the same for the situation here. And for that I am sorry. I've been pretty sick lately and it's been bumming me out massively. I don't seem to have the energy to do anything anymore and more often than not I'm just not in the mood for any sort of fun. It's taking a massive toll on my life at the moment, not to mention this blog world as well. But I'm happy to say I've taken some steps to sort it all out. By the end of the week I'll know what is causing the illness, if anything at all. Maybe then I'll be able to get back to normal. Whatever normal is anymore...

In the meantime though, I've mustered up just enough energy to share some* of my lists from September. The challenge only has a few days to go and I'm determined to have all my lists complete!

Mary Had Another Little Lamb

Around this time last year, I posted about how one of my Sheep gave birth to an adorable baby lamb. Well guys, she's done it again and her baby boy couldn't possibly be any sweeter. He is about a week old now and already getting up to mischief. He spends his days lazing in the sunshine and chasing his Mumma around. The only thing missing from his beautiful life is a name! That's where you guys come in. I have named over 50 pets on this little farm of mine and it's about time I let someone else have the honour...

 

Here are a couple more pics to help you out... 

What would you name this newborn baby lamb and why?

The winning name will be selected at random sometime next week!

Things Organized Neatly

There is something about this little blog that has been pulling at my neatly organized heart strings ever since I stumbled across it. Things Organized Neatly is exactly what the name suggests; people neatly arranging their possessions and photographing them so as to quieten down the messy anxiety within...

After spending close to an hour perusing all of the different arrangements, I decided to organize some of my own things neatly. When I moved to my new house I discovered that there was a cork board permanently affixed to one of my walls. Originally I hated the tacky brown color and sought to cover it with cutesy paper, photographs of friends and general pin-board type memo's immediately. This had the complete opposite effect of order and symetry, and eventually I was pinning bits and pieces over other bits and pieces, the result of which reminded me of one of those big unmaintained community boards. The chaos eventually got to me and I began tearing everything down. The board sat there blank for a while, until it hit me... With a few sewing pins and some very precise spacing, I turned my ugly brown cork board into a display for all my jewelry. Now I can scan through my jewelry the same way I go through my closet and easily find something to match the outfit I have on. I can also see if my sister has "borrowed" something. So far it's working out great... I'm just running out of space.

What parts of your life have you organized neatly?

How do you display your jewelry?

P.S. I have some super exciting news that I will probably announce on this here blog tomorrow! Hint: It's cute and cuddly and I would love all of you guys to get involved in some way... Watch this space!
