stuck! 1st feb sketch

 not really sure about this one...like the concept...might give it another go.

her first day

yes Isobel started school this year. She was very ready to go! We were all very excited for her to start. In the end she wasn't nervous, she told me she just wanted it to start!

I welled up a bit when in the classroom and saved my tears until I got home. She looked so cute AND so grown up!

So far so good. She has loved school and has a great couple of days.

A scrappy weekend away

last weekend I had the pleasure of a weekend away in Daylesford with Jasmine Shea, Leonie Neal-Dawson and Melissa Millar...no kids, no husbands, just us and our arts and crafts!

It was great. I always come home tired from these things, too many late nights, long scrappy days, wine and too much food!

But I did do 11 layouts which is pretty standard for me...but about half of them were 8.5 x 11 which is not standard for me...and I must say I think I love the new size!

Can't show you all today...some are samples for next month...but here's what I can show...

 Scrapbook Savvy CC puzzle challenge - flag, paper clip, splats, flower, heart

Anna's Craft Cupboard - January Sketch

Scrapbook Savvy Jan Quote challenge

Right well the others will have to wait till tomorrow or some till March...yep I scrapped for March as well LOL!

I dare you

I love reading Fox in Flats blog posts. She's a mum of two who had fallen into a fashion rut.

Fox in flats is - a place to share ideas, tips and inspiration on looking stylish and feeling good, even while deep in the trenches of motherhood.

It's created by mums who are going through, or have been through, the fashion challenges associated with taking care of kids. 

I've overhauled my wardrobe in light of her 13 wardrobe essentials every mother can't do without and I must say I am never stuck with what to wear each day.

I also follow the 4 minute face when you're fighting for time - best thing ever the eye lash curler!

So this week is the SCARF DARE. Yep so out of my comfort zone, but I gave it a go yesterday...and what a response...comments all positive, from people at work, on FB when I posted my pic

and I must say I felt great, special, like I'd made an effort to look good.

So do you ever wear scarves? No? well then take a risk, check out the DARE or just head on over to Fox in Flats and be inspired to get dressed everyday.

what do you think?

of the new format?

suggestions?

criticisms?
