Project 365 2015: Week 29 & Week 30

Hello!

Last week was all about me trying to sort out my bookshelves and it kinda took over my life. In a good way! But I kinda sorta forgot about my weekly 365 post. And now it's nearly time to recap the next week. So I decided to combine the two weeks and give you one big post recapping two weeks in the life of me!

Here we go...

Week 29 was a good one. I watched Piku which is pretty much the best movie I've seen all year around. I loved it. The Bong-ness of it is so spot on.

I also doodled and art-journaled.

Moved things around the house.

Filled ink in my ink pens.

Week 30...a crazy, happy, hectic blur.

Bookshelves were re-organised and I am so in love with how my main bookshelf looks now!

Made a spicy shrimp/prawn Mac n' Cheese. It was so good. I am most certainly going to make it again.

Also did some DIY with those cute animal faces.

Got a Paper-Dori in the mail with giant poppies on it.

This Pigeon is our 'pet' she lives outside out window and comes every afternoon for a nap.

Some old pictures of my Ma. My folks arrive on Saturday for a couple of months. I am excited to see them!

That was my life in the last two weeks!

See you next week with another picture a day post.

See you soon!

Happy Reading :)
