Sometimes you need to…

as this little piece of lego, on the floor near the kitchen, has reminded me
I know that life is so busy that we often don’t notice the little things or take time to fully appreciate the things that are around us
I know that when I do stop though I get sick and guess what lol
Had Elizabeth home today, she was in real need of a day to rest, and a Dr’s appointment showed she just has a cold so that was nice news because the sore throat I have really hurts so I don’t like to think what’s going on in her little body!
The last two days have started out frosty, with lots of ice on the roads and the garden looking like this

Yesterday Lucy and I were at home for most of the day, her zooming around AGAIN looking snazzy :)

Dad flew in last night so I picked him up from the airport while Dave and the girls did the Guide run
Was really good to have Dad home, was secretly hoping he’d bring Mum home with him but knew that wasn’t going to happen and it didn’t :(

Can now share the page I made for Such Sweet Tierney, love LOVE the buttons London sent me

and her packaging is always inspiring!! Just had to use the wood grain contact that she had on the packets :)

You can find all these buttons in via the Such Sweet Tierney blog.

Yesterday I finally got to play with this weeks collage challenge at Crowabout
Struggled to find a ‘saying’ but when I started cutting up the body it finally dawned on me what to do :)

So now I enlist your help, what “unusual” sayings does your family use and what does the saying mean? Am making a list, as I go, and now hoping that the future collage challenges will correspond to them lol

  6. I really don't know how you can find the time, energy and creativity to do layouts, collage, et cetra while taking care of the household, your 4 girls and spend time with Dave.

    One super woman with super creative talent!

    Hope you and Lucy are feeling better soon!

  7. My hubby has been saying this to our daughter since she was born: "Whacha tryin to do for the stuff?"

    It means? No idea.

    I love your layout and your art journal. So clever.

    If I found "stop" hidden somewhere in my house, I would take it as a sign from the universe that I should stop everything. Everything. Well, except breathing.
