Month: January 2013

ptunarra

 Way back in November 2011 I posted about our visit to the site of future Derwent Valley Child and Family Centre. It’s a project that I have a soft spot for because I (and Juniordwarf too I guess, because he attended the meetings with me) used to be a...

quitting sugar aaargh

Last week I was feeling pretty good about cutting out sugary treats. I’d had a few headaches, but these were minor and didn’t last long. I didn’t find it too difficult to refuse sweet things and I didn’t really want them anyway. This week is a whole other story....

quitting sugar – week 1

I survived Week 1 of my quitting sugar experiment and I’m keen to continue. My aim for last week was to avoid sweet treats like cakes and lollies. My main problem was snacking on lollies and cakes after lunch – either picking up something on the way back to...

project life 2012 – the home stretch

I really wanted to get the rest of the 2012 photos edited and printed for my Project Life album by the end of January, so I kept going with it this week. Since my last post I have: Finished the October 3×4 journal cards. Printed some more title and...

After an epic photo editing weekend, I had over 150 photos to print on Monday morning for my August and September Project Life layouts. (I might add here that September was a huge photo month, with Juniordwarf’s birthday, his party and our holiday to the East Coast, so there...

getting organised

While I’m still trying to catch up on my 2012 Project Life album, I’ve been gradually formulating a plan for my 2013 album. It’s going to involve some blank grid cards, some left over stuff from my 2011 Turquiose Kit, possibly the digital version of that kit, and this...

100 things to do in 2013

I’ve been sort-of trying to get my mind and my life back into some sort of order now that I’m back at work. I thought I was making progress in getting things back on track after the disruption of moving house last year, but then along came the festive...
