One little word

This year I made the decision to embark on a one little word journey. One little word is a year long class run by Ali Edwards where you find a word and live with it for the year. With monthly prompts/projects to do.

After a bit of searching and stewing on what word I wanted it dawned on me *calm* yes I need to invite this back into my life. Since having kids alot changed and I had lost my calm. Don't get me wrong I have and will always get cross if I am wronged or I feel something isn't right. But I'm talking about inner calm, choosing my battles and patience.

This 4 months in and I absolutely adore what this class have revealed and invited into my life. I have stayed up to date. And find the prompts achievable.

I chose to do my one little word in an 8.5x11 wrmk album in buttercup colour and way back  in December contacted carol at Craft Paper Scissors to put a special order in for the album and page protectors I needed for the project. I tell you what I LOVE how my album is looking. I chose a black and white colour theme with pops of colour throughout and find it really pretty to look through.

For anyone who is searching for something in their lives I highly recommend considering this class.

Life lately and Design Team announcement

It's been a long time between posts. To be honest my scrapping mojo decided to take a hiatus after Christmas. Life happened, as it does. But it's back with a vengeance.

Life has been busy (really busy) in this little world of ours. Master 5 started school at the end of January and is loving every minute of it. A lot of medical appointment for master 5 have been thrown into the mix, it's been hard. I went down the scary road of enrolling myself in a course to ready myself for full time work and a new career when miss 3 goes to school in 2017. And lots of family adventures in between.

But, the biggest and most exciting news is I got accepted to be on a design team for my scrapbooking.  This made my day, week, year!!! Carol over at Craft paper  scissors put the call out early March for a design team and accepted my application. It really is a lovely store with quick service and some delicious goodies in there. I have been a customer since she started her store and have even made some special orders through her. She really goes that extra mile with her customers. I am really looking forward to what the next 4 months bring.
