Well what a year we had this year!! Here’s hoping next year will be a better one.

My word for 2021 is Create. I’ve used this word before but it just feels right.
I want to create a more decluttered and organised house.
I want to create more crafty projects.
Create more in the garden.

My crafty plans

• Book of Me with the Awesome Ladies Project
• Daily Pages (Monday to Friday)
• 100 Happy Days
• Attempt to do a daily photo challenge. See how far I get.
• Sharing more on here & my Instagram. I’m finally working out an editorial calendar for myself so hopefully things will be a bit more regular.
• Continuing to do my Currently & Thursday 3 each week
• work through the 52 weeks to an organised craft space challenge from thekeeperofthememories. I really want to do this one as I’m slowly bring all Mum’s craft stuff here and hopefully will have a dedicated craft space next year, especially as the kiddos want to craft with me now and the dining table isn’t cutting it (plus I want the dining table back for eating meals at lol)
• Week in the Life. I need to coral all my previous WitLs actually into an album.
• December Daily/Journal Your Christmas

What are your plans for 2021? Whatever they are here’s hoping it’s a good one and we all stay safe & healthy <3

RUKristin of The Awesome Ladies Project & I co-hosted a 7 day photo challenge last month and it was so much fun. The ladies who took part shared a bunch of AMAZING photos. Here’s my 7 photos and the prompts.

Day 1 – Black and White

Day 2 – Silhouette

Day 3 – Rule of Thirds

Day 4 – Selfie

Day 5 – Texture

Day 6 – Nature

Day 7 – Perspective

This month I’m doing a selfie a day challenge which you can follow along with over on my Insta and join in using #2020SeptSelfies.

The amazing RUKristin of The Awesome Ladies Project & I are cohosting a 7 day photo challenge.

Its called 7 Photos, 7 Stories and it’s an intensive online ‘bootcamp/challenge’ where over the course of a week you’ll get all the tools you need to take seven amazing photos that will each tell a story all on their own.
By the end of the 7 days you’ll learn:

• How to use photography prompts to help you tell a specific story
• How to use whatever camera you have to get great results
• How to decide when a photo is good enough for your story
• How to take photographs of yourself (selfies) to help tell your story
• And how to see the story through the lens before you take the shot

Sound good?

I am so excited and hope you join us xx

What is the 100 Happy Days project? It’s a photo project that challenges you to post something that makes you happy, daily, for 100 days.

Yeah it’s nearly the end of January but lots happened in December and blogging got away from me.

If you follow my other blog, you’d have read about my mum. If you don’t TLDR – mum passed away on December 6th after a long 8 year battle with Ovarian Cancer. So yeah. I made a promise to myself at the end of the year that I would create more and not wallow as it’s what Mum would want me to do.

One of my craft goals for 2020 is to do more photo challenges. I picked 3(!!!) to start of the month and have managed to keep up with them even if I’m not sharing them on Insta I’ll be sharing them here at the end of the month.

What else are my plans for 2020?

• Daily Pages, as inspired by Kristin and the Awesome Ladies
• continuing my Book of Me
• taking part in The Reset Girl Summer & Winter events
• continue to work in my TRG playbook

Welcome, welcome friends. Here we are nearly to the end of February and I am yet to post.

The holidays are over and the kids are back at school. My baby is in kindergarten so I have 3 whole days a week with no kiddos!!
One is hoping that this is going to help the creative juices flow a bit more in 2019.

What am I planning for 2019? So far – lots!!

• Creating monthly pages in my 6×8 album that are just my stories. At this stage I’ll be using the Awesome Ladies Project monthly Lens prompts, with the occasional Day In the Life and Week in the Life spreads. It’ll evolve as it goes.
• Working on the girls’ Project Life albums monthly. Now that they are growing up I want to rethink how I do these albums. Do I still want to do an album each? Who knows? We’ll see how it goes.
• Morning pages. Now we’re in a good school routine I’m hoping to get back into creating something quick of a morning.
  If not morning pages I’ll pop something in my little quote book I started.
• 30 Days of Lists.
• Kellie is planning on doing 3 rounds of 31 things in 31 days. Looking forward to that.
• 100 Day Project. Not sure what I want to do. Throwing round the idea of giving myself a weekly theme.
• 100 Happy Days. I didn’t do this last year but I really want to do it this year. I think it is something I need to do even if just for myself.
• Working through some classes at Big Picture and Simple Scrapper.
• Photographing projects and sharing them here cause I have been so bad at that.

Who knows what else. We’ll see what the year brings. What are your plans for 2019?

Well another year is nearly over again and it’s time for a bit of a recap of 2018.

I managed to complete a few card classes from my local card class.

I finished my Awesome Ladies Project for 2018 – Book of Me.

I’ve completed a plan for my December album for this year. Now to actually create the pages.

I did all 3 seasons of 30 Lists.

Morning pages were a thing. I plan on getting back to doing them in 2019 as I really love the little creative burst first thing in the morning.

The blog is getting a makeover. Hopefully it will be done by NYE

What does 2019 bring?

More Awesome Ladies Project. More handmade cards. Catch up on the girls’ albums
