Nightwolf's Den

(someone forgot that our hosting was due last week….um that would be me. All paid now and we’re back for another 12 months lol)

So did I miss blogging over the last few days? Yup you bet. I’ve got a bit to share with you all too.

I’ve been a bit inspired to do some scrapping, well art journaling actually. Thanks to Kirsty (@mummytofive) and Lisa (@heyLisaWarren) for our scrapping chat on Twitter (search for the hashtag #saturdayscrap).

Anyways back to what I did Saturday night. They are in my gallery if you want to check them out.

I got another couple of pages started and I’ll share them as soon as they are done.

Miss K is growing so fast and getting a real attitude lately *sigh* Bedtimes are becoming a real struggle and day sleeps are nearly non existent 🙁 any suggestions blog land?

Looking forward to working with the team at Scrapping Shoebox. We’ve said goodbye to two members and welcomed a new member. Look for some changes and take part in our poll to help us share what you want to see.

Anyways, I’m off to do some more art journaling. Back soon

I joined Twitter 898 days ago (25 November 2008)

My first follower was @BookofMe

My first Tweet was “has just joined twitter” at 12:04 AM Nov 25th 2008

So When did you join Twitter? Who was your first follower? And what was your first Tweet?

As you know, if you’ve been a long time follower of my blog, I’ve been trying to follow Flylady numerous times and I always seem to fail. I do ok for a week or two then just get disheartened and give up. I was doing some blog surfing recently and found a link to HabitHacker and thought I’d check it out. Sounds ok. Sounds like something I could do.

The first step in habit hacking your ‘nest’ is to “Polish your place” (or choose a spot & clean it). It can be any place – your sink (ala FlyLady) or your bedside table or anything. Just somewhere you will keep clean everyday.

I chose my main bench in the kitchen. It’s a dumping ground. We make cuppa’s here. I prepare food here. I, for some reason known only to a small part of my brain, sort mail here. Lately it’s been shocking. Cue the Before photo

Well one week in and I am still managing to keep this bench tidy. I’m finding it so easy to give it a quick wipe over and to put things away when I’ve finished with them and to give it a spray and wipe after breakfast and before I go to bed.

See?

Do you follow a system to keep your home organised? What do you love about it?
