the star chart (and weekly check-in #2)

Let’s talk about resolutions. Well, actually, since this is my blog (and my weekly check-in) I’m going to talk about my resolutions. Or, more accurately, my commitments. I decided to call my resolutions ‘commitments’, because to me ‘resolution’ conjures up something you come up with for New Year and,...

P365 – Day 162 – purple carrots

A few weeks ago I found some purple carrots in a supermarket. Juniordwarf was quite delighted by them, and was more than happy to eat them. A victory in the battle to get him to eat vegetables! He followed this by a refusal to eat orange carrots. Only purple...

P365 – Day 161 a million little photos (10/06/2011)

Weekly Check-in #1

Remember my post a couple of weeks ago in which I made a commitment to myself to wash up and clear off my kitchen bench every night? Well, it’s not much good making that sort of commitment unless I have a way to keep myself honest, so I made...

P365 – Day 156 tread lightly

It was World Environment Day today, and the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens held its annual TreadLightly EnviroFest.  Last year was the first time I attended, and I had a wonderful day exploring all of the stalls and activities, and listening to the speakers. I learnt a lot and I...

P365 – Day 155 scrapping with the wheat paper

It’s been two weeks since I went to the 12 layouts in five hours scrapbooking class. In that time I’ve finished five pages. Today I finished my sixth. I did a lot of the layout at the scrapbooking night at our local scrapbooking shop last night and just put...
