My Details: Citizenship Edition

Posted on by

It’s been a little while since I’ve shared here. Life has been busy which sadly means not much time for creative pursuits.

Anywho, Kristin of rukristin and Megan of The Nerd Nest have created the next instalment of their awesome workshop My Details.

This round is all about Citizenship.

MyDetails: Citizenship Edition encourages you to tell the story of who you are.

The story of you is also a story of where you are from, where you live, your culture, and who you are as a citizen. With this workshop, you’ll document the details of yourself as a community member (whether it be national, regional, or local) as well as how the details of your culture/society impact your life. No matter what your citizen-story looks like, this workshop will help you document the details that are most meaningful to you.

Whether you’re a blogger, a mini book maker, an art-journaler, a scrapbooker, or any other creative or wannabe-creative person, we’ve got the best ideas to make sure you are telling YOUR story and documenting YOUR details in your memory keeping!

When you register you’ll get access to twice weekly prompts in your inbox, and you might see a familiar face Winking smile If you’re interested, check out this page.

I’m looking forward to creating some pages and adding them to an album about me.

Another round of Day in the Life this year. We had a pretty busy day but I didn’t really take a lot of photos.

Highlights of the day…

  • temper tantrums because someone didn’t want to wear her new clothes to soccer
  • soccer. They won 6-0.
  • walking to the footy. Fireworks and celebrations of 15 years of Hawthorn FC in Tasmania.
  • It’s footy time! Lots of snuggles today. And the Hawks won. Just.
  • A little Pokemon Go on the way back to the car. 2 Pokestops and a couple of new Pokemon. Plus we learned something new.
  • KFC for tea.
  • Sleepy children.
  • Mum and dad time – tv, social media and a cold drink
  • A little brain training before bed
  • Gotta love the Day One app for my Day in the Life journaling.
