21 Things About Me: Challenge 1

I have been debating about coming back to the world of blogging and Missy Pie has not had time to blog thanks to her job taking up most of her time.

We recently made a pact to challenge each other back  into blogging.

The challenge is called "21 Things About You"

For 21 weeks, I will tell you something about myself and Lauren over at What The Blog (Check out her blog if only just to see her cute blog image!) will tell us about herself.

Perhaps this will help to remind me about why I started blogging in the first place....

Not to be popular.
Not to have 100's of followers.
Blogging is my therapy.
Blogging is for me.
Blogging is a document of my life.
A legacy I leave for myself.
To look back on in years to come and remember why I made the decisions I made and the journey that was my life.

So here goes:

Challenge 1: What is your name and were you named after anybody?

My name is Chantelle. My mom was a hairdresser and they had an apprentice named Chantelle. My mom loved the name. She said that if she ever had a child, she would name her Chantelle.

Sadly the lady died in a car accident before I was ever born.

Project 365: Week 12

Week 12

1. On a hot Sunday afternoon there is nothing left to do except nap
2. We discovered an awesome slide projector in my grandfather's belongings. I feel so sad to let it go, but it needs a good home, not to be lying in a box
3. Pretty ribbon 'chandeliers' at the mall.
4. Rainy day driving
5. Valentine's gift from Li. Delicious chocolate!
6. Noah turned 3 - what a big boy he is becoming.
7. The moon was hanging around -  barely there - watching us begin our day.

Project 365: Week 11

I have been very bad at updating my blog (and it isn't technically real posts) and can you believe that we are already 2 months into the year already!?

I am happy to say that I have still been taking my photos fro Project 365. I am just not being as creative as I would like...

1. I made my 2nd chocolate truffle tart for Valentines Day (Single girls dinner) The Oreos are a bugger to crush if you have no food processor. Hammer works really well!
2. My Ford Ka is a round little bubble. All the dashboard design elements are too.
3. Painted my nails red for Valentine's day - I added sparkle afterwards which looked really nice. Who knows why I didn't take that photo!
4. Took a friend for a birthday pedicure and got to spend some time on that awesome day bed before the treatment
5. On Valentine's day a colleague gave me a cute fortune cookie and notebook.
6. Changed my nails again and decided to play with overlapping colours.
7. I have never had gold nail polish, decided to try it. The result... eh...

Project 365: Week 10

1. Popcorn for movie night - with lots of Butter!
2. This is something I have always loved doing - photos of feet and faces!
3. A small building and trees reflected in a tall mirrored building. Johannesburg has some great photo opportunities
4. This angle was funny, it looked like the cushion was growing a head!
5. Fluffy tail - and he wonders why I can't resist!
6. A selfie while relaxing under a tree on picnic
7. The view from my dining room table as I sat and worked.
