this is, topic

Little Happy WhaleI'm so excited to have been asked to be the one who comes up with the topic for "this is" this week.

So the topic will be...
This is: something I got, but still haven't used.

It can be anything from nice soap a friend gave you 3 Christmases ago, to a new recipe ingredient you still haven't worked out how to cook, or a snazzy pair of shoes you promised yourself faithfully (as you were guiltily swiping your credit card) you'd wear every single day.

I thought this would be a good way of reminding ourselves to use those things we always intended to... So go forage! You'll probably be surprised at what you find (I once found an old Birthday card with an 8 year old gift voucher in it. Can you believe the store still let me use it!)

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.


If you're not sure what "this is" is, it's a fun little weekly activity started up by Three Buttons, that anyone can get involved in... You can find out more here.
