Another year older


Last week I got older :-) Sally got a photo of me which was good...don't have that many of me :-) Sally asked how many candles I wanted...I suggested 3 - one for each of the kids to blow out, three to represent the number of 10's and the number of 1's in my new age.

Busy with work, new roles, new experiences, scary but good.

Enjoying swimming (a good thing I start work 11:30am...not many people at the pool 10amish).

Have some yummy cosmo cricket and fancy pants scrap goodies to play with...hanging out for a creative evening, think I'll do some creating with Lynley tomorrow night...full on day tomorrow, will be a good chill out time! Lynley & I are doing a stand at the Arrowtown Autumn Festival Market Day on April 18th so have some creating to do in preparation!

Purging

The stuff can take over.  My stuff was covering my work surface and much of the bedroom floor.  I had to do a big sort out. I was brutal.   Stuff...ready to go. I packaged it in some storage totes I had that needed a new home (I’m waiting for my new CTMH travel system to arrive) and listed it on s local trading site.  It’s gone now. It doesn’t look pretty but I have a desk space and things are organised. The rest of my supplies now fit in this cupboard. Since the ‘purge’ I have had the space to create.  It feels good and it’s great to be able to get to my desk. A few pages made since the tidy up...and a box of 20 cards!

a catch up

Spent last night in Invers. We had a family dinner for dh's Nanny. We did a brief shop @ Farmers (none in the Wakatip) & went to Splash Palace this morning & BK for lunch (there's no BK here either!). Here are my 21 Challenge pages for the last three days. The hardest one was the Eleanor Roosevelt quote as I'm not sure what scares me - other than a lingering death while my children are still young, or one of them or dh being harmed in some way but even then I have a faith that gives me hope & assurance of a future. So I decided to apply this to my art or my creating - to try something new each day - even if it scares me. Day 4's quote was a goodie - I find that I make decisions all the time & this confirms that I am 'qualified' to make them. I used the pic of Katya for Day 6 as her blowing dandilion heads across the play area indicates this freedom & exploration of the world around. Watching her reminds me of the beauty & wonder al...
