4,000 Thank You's



Aloha Sprinklerinos,

So it's my Oscar moment. I feel like I need to stand at a podium and thank everyone. It's the middle of the night (why am I not in bed?!) and I have just noticed that I have tipped over the 4,000 follower mark- oh me oh my!

It got me to thinking about when I first started Sprinkle of Glitter. It was a very slow burner and I didn't have many followers or interaction with any Sprinklerinos, but I just liked writing my little thoughts and taking snaps of things. I remember once ringing my Dad and saying, "oh guess what, remember that blog thing that I started a few months ago? Well it has 35 follower people now!" and feeling very proud. I feel just as proud now. I think that even though 4,000 is a bigger number than 35, it is the same pride and excitement. This is because the 4000th person to click that 'Join this site' button, is just as important and super as the 35th person, or the 578th person, or the 1724th person...you get my point.

I shan't ramble on, you know what I'm trying to say, THANK YOU for reading, commenting and just being great. Slushy as it sounds, you really do have a big positive effect on my life, and I'm really so very grateful to for it.

Thankyoupip!

Beauty Crush's Ebay Bag

Aloha Sprinklerinos,

A few weeks ago, I had a little bit of money sitting quietly in my paypal account. I was saving it for a 'rainy day' moment and for the longest time, couldn't decide what I wanted to fritter it away on. I have this little thing where I think that money in my bank account is for proper things like bills, baby, mortgage etc, but paypal money, is play money. Money for makeup and treats and shineys.

After seeing one of Samantha from Beauty Crush's videos, I KNEW it had to be this bag. Black, sturdy, £29.99 and with little knobbly studs covering the bottom. Yum!

Anyway, I shall 'cut to the chase' as they say, a couple of days ago I made a 'Whats In My Beauty Crush Bag?' video and thought I would share it with you here as well, to tie the whole I-love-my-new-bag-I've-been-using-it-to-death dealio. If the sun has got his hat on tomorrow, I will take a few photos of the little beaut and post them at the end of this :)

So here are the thrilling contents of my jazzy bag:

I have linked the ebay shop below:

 THE BEAUTIFUL BAG

Would you buy this bag?

Toodlepip!

Autumn Baby

Aloha Sprinklerinos,

It's here! It's queer! Get used to it!

Noooooo, I jest, I'm just uber excited because it's mid October and Autumn is in full swing...if a season can swing that is. Meh, if a decade can swing (and I'm referring to the 60's here), then so can a season.

Oh dear, I've waffled on, as usual.

The reason for this Autumnul little blog post is because yesterday, I took my little Baby Glitter over to my Dad's house and I thought I would share with you the photos we snapped on my Dad's disgustingly expensive camera. And by disgustingly expensive, I mean £4,000. I was so shocked that I nearly fell in the lake! I did make a big fuss and informed my Fatherman of all the far more sensible things I could have done with £4,000 and that next time he feels like throwing thousands of pounds around, perhaps he could consider me, my broken iron, my undecorated hallway, my car insurance, my overdraft and my council tax.

On the upside, I did get some lovely pictures, so here you are:

(Little disclaimer, on the shots I took, it was the first time I had used such a crazy camera- bare with me!).

How cool is that tree? Pink leaves! It's like from your imagination or something.

How can you not love Autumn? I'm actually tempted to go back, collect a few naturey bits (technical there) and display them on our mantel piece. They're so rustic.

She wasn't too taken with the apple (despite my Dad's best efforts to make it appealing, including saying, "ooohh woww, applllee, oooohh loooook" over and over ahahaha), but the conkers went down a storm. Perfect for little hands.

Baby in a tree!!!

Imagine if you were a little baby and had never seen such things and little clusters of orange berries hanging from a tree. What a crazy world we live in.

Look how teeny tiny that sign is!! Dad's lived in this house for about 8 years and I've been round the lake sooo many times, but not once have I seen that sign!! When Baby Glitter is a bit older, I shall tell her that fairies sit on that when they are chatting and making up fairy stories for little girls like her.

I have a couple more Autumny type posts coming along, it is by far, my most favourite season and every time it comes, I smile.

Are you an Autumn girl?

Toodlepip!

PS- For those safety nuts out there, whilst in the tree, my Dad had his hand supporting her from behind the whole time, she wasn't in any danger. Phewf!!
