I'm still here!

oh my goodness, this is just ridiculous how little I post now! I can't really say I've been busy or anything...

well, I suppose I had my 3rd year exams (7 A's & 1 B - almost scraped an A in English nnoooo) and I had a main part in my theatre group's show, and I was on holiday for 2 weeks, but still.

I'm not going to say I'll post a lot or anything, because the I'd be lying and letting everyone down!  But I will say that I'll try my best, can I promise you that?

many apologies for the inconsistency,

make a wish.

I am so so pleased to say that I am finally doing something on my own for charity! You'll see below that I am making friendship bracelets.

I posted on Instagram the idea and I've had loads of orders so far, I'm just so happy!

I'm selling them to people in my school, they cost 60p and that goes towards Make A Wish foundation, and I'm keeping 10p to buy more supplies for the bracelets.

I want it to be an ongoing thing, and they already seem to be a great success:D

Just thought I'd let you girlies know, and comment below any other ideas you have or what you've done to help out a charity!

lots of smiles and happiness,

what i'm listening to.

As you all know, I'm a massive indie rock/alternative fan, sooo...

This is what I'm absolutely loving right now, I haven't listened to The Wombats in a while, and this is one of my favourites by them.

yep, just thought I'd tell you that, I'm just sitting here listening to it with my cup of tea after studying this morning :)

Have a wonderful day,

walking in an ikea wonderland.

Second post of the day, I'm getting pretty good at this ;)

The mumma and I popped into ikea (and dobbies) for stuff for the garden party I'm having for my 15th, and to be fair I think we were pretty successful, what do you think? ;)

Any ideas or tips for a garden party would be muchos appreciated, and I'm thinking of designing a template that you can all use for invitations :)

Keep smiling,

the little things i love about spring

Happy Sunday everyone!  I hope you're all having a lovely day so far, and if you're on your spring break just now, like me, I hope you're enjoying it!

I do love Spring, it being one of my favourite seasons (I have to admit, I think Autumn is my favourite, shh...) 

Spring seems to be a season filled with happiness and love, and everyone seems so much cheerier and chirpier (it's not just the birds!).

Here are just a few of the little things I love about Spring, what about you?

1. Pastels

2. Bright mornings and light evenings

3. Flowers beginning to blossom

4. Long walks with loved ones

5. Brighter and happier spirits

6. Sunglasses

7. Happy music

8. Floral prints and lace

9. Reading outside in the garden

10. Sunny weather

Have a wonderful day,

Nicola x

Pen Pal Anyone?

Hello again!

I'm just wondering if any of you would like to be my pen pal? I'd love to send letters and little gifts to you, and I just think its a really lovely idea :)

I'm 14 years old (15 this month yay!) and I live in Glasgow if that helps at all?

If you're interested, please email me at:
nicolasnotebook@hotmail.com

I look forward to hearing from you!

Happy Easter!

Gosh, I'm rather terrible at this consistent blogging thing aren't I? Anyhoo, I just wanted to pop in to say I hope you all had a wonderful Easter, and I hope you got some goodies to feast on ;)

Since I'm in my 3rd year at high school, we have 3rd year exams, so I've been busy studying for that... Would you like a post on how I study?

I'll also just say that I haven't been posting recently because I've been going through a very tough time for myself, and I haven't been cheery old me lately, which would reflect on my posts.

Anyways, I'm a lot better and happier now, and I'm ready to blog lots now, and there will be some Instagram photography just like there used to be.

Thankyou so much lovelies for sticking with me,
Nicola x

thanks again girlies!

study study study

Just a quick check in to say I am studying at the mo, and it's so much hard work!

I will have a post on what I am doing for Charlie for Valentine's Day soon :)

2 days til Friday!

remember me?

wow.  now this is what I call long time no see.

I do apologise!

When I got emails telling me that a couple of you had commented saying you wanted to hear from me again that made me so happy, so I'm going to give it another shot :)

The only reason I haven't been blogging is because I've been oh so busy with schoolwork and friends and Charlie.  (Yes, the mystery guy now has a name)

Hopefully I'll post another time soon :)

hello again blogosphere,

Nicola x
