the seasider


I think I posted some pics of our seasider train trip a while back....here's a layout I have done with a couple of the photos :-) Used some of the We R Memory Keepers Paper I got from SBO a few weeks ago, have wanted to use it for ages and finally found a use.

Retreat planning underway and some really cool treats in varying stages of completion!
Jase aka Chef Moss is dreaming up our menu for the Saturday night 'special' dinner.

Had a nice relaxed Queens Birthday Weekend finished off last night with pizza for dinner at a friends. Alicia's netball team got their 2nd goal this week for the season...don't laugh too much...it's funny to watch and they try so hard and are enjoying it...even if the other team got 24 goals! Our new aim is for them to get a goal per half rather than just 'a goal'!

Busy teaching, have picked up another class for an hour each day which I'm loving. Have taken a couple of Playcentre Workshops too for the adults wanting to gain skills for teaching at the Playcentres and have 3 more coming up this weekend and next week. Love that I still get to be a 'part' of Playcentre and I haven't had to leave it completely:-)

Smiles.

Go Alicia and her team - isn't it s shame when the teams in a league are mis-matched. We've had that in lots of sports. We just remind them to have fun. Hope she is enjoying it.

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...
