Today is a pin it forward day – hooray!

For all you going – huh? what are you on about!? – pin it forward is a blogging project organised by Victoria in collaboration with pinterest. There are 300 participating blogs, who will all be creating a story board on what home means to them. {Some of you may recall my previous blog it forward post, where I shared all the things that inspire me}.

Pinterest is a brand new visual bookmarking tool, and also my latest addiction. It is absolutely brilliant for keeping a record of your images, so if you are a visual junky like me, make sure to check it out.

Below is a little sneak peek into what home means to me. So if you like what you see, feel free to check out my entire pinterest board.

In spirit of this project, I would like to thank everything little miss who proceeded me, and on Monday cartoules letterpress will follow me.

Enjoy!

    Thank you Ludmila & Alex. Putting this board together was so much fun, and a bit of an eye opener as to what home actually means to me… Bit of a mixed bag, but I gess that’s a good thing!
    Melis, my darling girl… I don’t really know what to say. You are just so sweet, so adorable and so supportive of my little blog from the very beginning. ‘Thank you’ doesn’t seem to really cut it.

    Dana, Thanks for participating. We’re really digging your pins. All our Australian pinners have great taste, and they pin stuff we (or, at least, I) haven’t seen before.
