Day 2 of my Summer Journal today and I'm sorry to disappoint but I didn't do anything fun like get Bubble Tea or get shopping today. Even though the sun is still shinning here in England I stayed in the house like a loner with no friends. Pity me.
I did have good reason though, because I have a mini project that I am trying to achieve. I'm making a collage wall for my bedroom.
Sort of like this one I found on Google Images.
It's only going to be small and it took me a really long time to decide which wall to do it on. My room is weird because there a total of eight walls to choose from due of all the nooks and crannies, and it's an attic bedroom so the walls slope which makes it even harder. Luckily for me thigh, I have chosen a small wall next to the door, which I will have as a sort of centre piece/ focal point in my bedroom.
So, I've been collecting magazines for weeks now and cut out all my little pictures this morning. I have chosen to put on things that inspire me and things that I like, so I've got some yummy food, Celebrities, fashion, nail polish and random stuff like that. There are two flaw to my grand plan though: number one is my mum.
She says that since we've just had the house decorated ( painted a very boring Dulux Bright Brilliant White) I can't stick the pictures straight onto the walls. Which is quite understandable, but still it is a pretty big setback. So yesterday I bought a huge roll of cartridge paper from Poundland (I know right!) and have decided to stick the pictures to that, and then pin the paper to the wall. Hopefully it will work just as effectively, if it doesn't I shall cry.
Number two of my complaints about the project is the fact that I had no idea you needed so many pictures. Like, I'm going to have to buy the July edition of every magazine in WHSmith. Literally. I have used up about 8-10 magazines and this is where I'm at so far:
Yes, I've got a lot more work to do. Despite my complaints, I am still having loads of fun doing this, and will definitely show you it when I've finished!
Since I spend a good 4/5 hours doing my wallpaper, I don't really have much time to do anything else but I did eat Mini Magnums with my younger sister. 
How delicious. Vanilla icecream with chocolate cubes and strawberry compote covered with a thick coat of dark chocolate. Mmmn I want another! The good things about Magnum Minis is that they are big enough to enjoy, but small enough to fit the whole thing in your mouth with one lick. Heaven.
The other thing that I did that is worth mentioning is that I made little frozen yogurt pops. We had some Kit Kat Pop Chocs yoghurts in the fridge and they are going out of date tomorrow, so I came up with the ingenious plan to freeze them in ice lolly form! I don't have a picture of them now since they are currently in the freezer, but if they are successful, I will show you them tomorrow.
Hope you enjoyed this short little post. I've just realised that the only thing I'll be doing this summer is eating ice cream in my bedroom. Oops! See you tomorrow.
Lots of Love
