Operation NICE

Today I joined Operation NICE!  I came across this blog through "a little hut" and it is a  really wonderful place.  I have to admit, I had started to believe that people these days were only looking out for themselves and noone really showed courtesy and kindness towards strangers anymore.....

How wrong I was!.....Operation NICE is all about just that - being nice and "encouraging others to be proactively nice".

There are lots of inspiring stories to read and ideas on how to bring a little bit of NICE into life!

First Ever Post...........eek!

Hello and welcome to Love Dove blog!  This is my first ever post and I am really excited to have it up - finally.  First, a little about me: I was once a fashion designer, but for the last few years I have been working as an office assistant and.......I've had my fill!  I miss the creativity the most and I find that life has lost some sparkle since I stopped designing.  I've come to realise it is such a huge part of who I am (I have, however also realised in my little sojourn that fashion wasn't really my true love and that my passion has altered slightly into that of interior textiles).

I decided to start writing this blog to help get me back on my creative path.  After straying for a little while, it is time to get back into it and realise my dream of living a fantastically fulfilling and creative life - although I am finding it easier said than done.

I would LOVE any suggestions you might have, perhaps you might like to share some of your favourite crafty/artsy projects to help inspire me??  

So, on that note I invite you to follow me on what I hope to be super creative escapades (with a bit of everyday life thrown in for good measure)!
