Project 365 2015: Week 14.

Sorry this post is a whole two days later. But the last two days have been just blaaaah. Ick. Yuck. Days I just want to erase. Real life just got in the way of blogging. But I am here today to recap my last week. 

Last week was a fun one. A lot of lovely things happened, a work opportunity came my way and I am really grateful for it. Also, we got a lot of pretty things in the mail and this was another week of home cooking. I baked  a cake and made some chocolate pudding. 

Reading was good too. I read an ARC for a book I loved and I also read three comic books! So reading wise too this week was a good one. 

Let's see my week in pictures. 


Day 92: Went about making my TBR for April (post coming next) and I picked these two books to read during Bengali New Year (it's on the 14th of April). I liked reading books based on the situation and for Bengali New Year, I want to read books by Bengali authors. 

Day 93: Possibly my favourite corner of my home. My crazy book stacks. I pulled out my Tintin comics to re-read this year. I haven't read Tintin since I was 12 yrs old, so long time overdue for a re-read. 


Day 94: Stickerssssssssss! Got a huge bunch of stickers in the mail. A friend of my sister and I sent these for us! So pretty. 

Day 95: If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I've been participating in the #ListersGottaList challenge. It's basically a challenge to make a list every single day in April and do it as creatively as you can. I have been LOVING this challenge. I love being creative and making each page as pretty as possible. I've used stickers, washi tape and even my dinky handwriting. I love that this challenge makes me think about so many different things. 

This is the third challenge I've ever done, I did the #100DaysofHappy last year and loved it too. Then in the end of the year I did the #fmsphotoadaychallenge and enjoyed it too. 

I like these challenge things! And I definetly want to do more of these in the future. 


Day 96: Washi Tape galore! Using these to line the pages of my Hobonichi Techo and of course for my List Challenge. 

Day 97: Made a Chicken Casserole for dinner. I love how easy baked dishes are to whip up. Apart from Chicken this also had Mushrooms, Tomatoes, Capsicum, Spinach and of course Cheese! :) 

Day 98: A long tiring day needs a simple meal to end it. A one-pot pasta with carrots, French beans, sweet corn and of couse Parmesan and basil and oregano. 

A decent week. Hope you guys had a nice week too. 

See you again next week! :)

Love all your pics... and jealous that you are in that phase of life where you can buy all the books that you want without worrying about money :)

Elizabeth,
Well, we put aside a certain amount every month to buy books. if you do that too, no matter how little it is, you can buy a the books that you want.. even if it is a few at a time.
Please don't be jealous! Jealousy is a negative emotion.

Cheers.
