LOVE BITES

If you follow indieBerries you may know that I recently started a blog series titled indieBusiness Bites - with little nuggets of business/bloggy type info appearing every Tuesday - (you can search back in the series here.) I have decided to alternate this with a new series titled "Love Bites" - mainly because I have a lot of lovely things to share about our little husband/wife life and our little love nest and also to keep Tuesdays interesting for me!

So to sum up - every Tuesday on indieBerries you will either find a "Business Bites" post or a "Love Bites" post. Today is the latter!

The other day, husband did something lovely for me. It was a few weeks ago, so I can't remember exactly what it was - it may have been that time I was feeling really down-in-the-dumps so had booked myself a facial only to realise that he had called ahead to pay for it. Or it could have been that time he brought home flowers for no reason. Or perhaps it was one of his motivational pep talks that he sometimes gives me about how awesome I am, that he thinks I'm not paying attention to, but I really really am. Anyway - I was headed out to book club that particular evening and felt a little overwhelmed with love so decided to write him a MASSIVE message which I left all over the lounge floor for him to find when he got home (bearing in mind, each one of these is at least an A4 sheet of paper):

(yep - I moved out the table and chairs and everything)

It was well received.

PS. Dear Nature conservationists and hippies in general - this message was recycled so that NO trees were harmed in the making of this love note. Every single page has been repurposed into a handy clipboard style scrap book, which is next to my desk and used for mocking up client graphics/invitations/stationery etc that I'm working on and other random "telephone style" notes.

(Retro "clipboards" = indieBerries good at recycling. Stain on thumb left over from NYE: indieBerries not so good at showering).

  4. I have recently send my fiancé a card/letter for each month until I arrive in Cape Town. He hasn't received it yet but I am pretty sure he will like it and be annoyed at the same time ;) I send it all at once with instructions of when he can open the next one - hehe evil and sweet all at once ;)
