Planning for the week ahead
Goals for this week (including the ones I didn't quite achieve last week!!) are:
WORK
If I get stressed go into the basement and deep breathe to calm myself.
Concrete plans for the office space.
Plans for section management.
CRAFTS
Birthday cards.
Imbolc decor.
House scrapbook - get it up to date!
Create minimum of 1 12x12 page with kit.
HOME
Blog daily!
Clear shed.
Continue with goals course.
SPIRITUAL
Plan for Imbolc.
Plan out my pouch.
HEALTH AND WELL BEING
1 yoga session outside of class.
Reconnect with one crystal.
My incentive to myself is this: If I complete all my goals in one week I will buy myself a nice bunch of flowers. If I complete all my goals in one month, I will book in for a manicure. If I complete all of my goals for 2 months I will book in for a massage. Sounds good to me!

Pages from the past week
I've been enjoying making a dent in my back log of kits this week!!
Here are a few of my favourite pages~
This one is called JOY:
The next on is Oh How I Love Radlab. All about my new found toy Radlab and my adoration for it!!
I had a severe lack of decent large letters in this kit and I am really strict with myself and don't like to add too much to a kit. I'm not sure the yellow letters reall work, but I'll cope with them!
This one was lifted straight from Shimelle's final 6x4 Photo Love class over at Two Peas. It is 2011 in review and actually holds over 12 photos and journaling for each month. I love it. I used a whole kit of papers and most of the embellishments on this one layout!
Hope you like these :0)
I'm planning on showing my layouts from the week before each Monday so keep an eye out ;0)

Angels on Bare Skin
This yummy cleanser was the first ever Lush product I purchased years ago. I LOVED it! Then somehow amidst all their other lovely things I forgot about it.
My skin at the moment is a bit spotty, pale and very dull after being poorly. I'm not sure what made me have the eureka moment but last night I thought to myself "I need Angels on Bare Skin". As luck would have it I had a meeting this afternoon so just happened to be in a town with a Lush!
Now my skin is starting to look alive again, feels really soft and I smell of pretty things! I just adore Lush!

Planning for the week ahead
Well blogland, I am feeling alot better! I still feel fairly run down compared to normal but compared to how I have been feeling thats just fine with me!
This bug has been just awful! My immune system isn't doing what it should at the moment. A dear friend has recommeded Berocca to me. Has anyone ever tried this, and if so what did you think of it?
This illness has reminded me of a couple of things I already know but had pushed from the forefront of my mind:
1. Our bodies are such tender and influential things.
When I started to feel better and actually tried to eat and drink something other than water I felt like every single thing that I tasted was new to me. My taste buds were so sensitive I could really really taste things. Hash browns (that I cook in the oven usually and love as a treat for brunch)...tasted of nothing but grease :-(
Packet pasta sauce (tasted just disgusting) Coffee tasted yum, but the caffeine rush that hit my body was so strong and so much like a drug that I realised just how dangerous that drink really is!! I still love coffee and I'm not going to stop drinking it, but I will truly drink it with respect for what it is.
I found the herbal teas I enjoy to be tastier than ever and I could also feel the way the herbs were effecting me (but in a much better and healthier way than the coffee!!) So again, an increased respect for herbal teas has been remembered!
This illness has been like a detox that I hadn't planned but may be needed!! I really hope I can keep in my mind the importance of remembering that eating, drinking, (and applying skin products) are becoming part of my body. I only want the best, and things that make me feel good and well to be part of me.
2. Our minds and bodies are so incredibly linked.
I felt so low last Tuesday after another set back in our plans to extend our house. I pretty much fell apart for the afternoon, yoga pulled me back together, but then an awful day at work on Wednesday just knocked me right back down. I don't think its a coincidence that I was so so so low mentally and emotionally on Tuesday and Wednesday, and then I woke up on Thursday to be so ill. I MUST take care of my whole self.
Anyway, personal rant to self over with :-) I intended to set out my goals for the week ahead in this post!
I shall split them up for this purpose but this is just to categorise them, not in any order of importance.
WORK
Walk away if I get stressed and spend 5 minutes in the basement deep breathing to calm myself, put a smile on my face that comes from my heart and go back out there.
Plan the work room space for staff efficiency (considering using half as a meeting room)
CRAFTS
Complete 2011 round up page
See if I can make Project Life work for me
HOME
Speak to Santander further and start process for mom to be removed from mortgage (if they refuse ask for details of clause to leave there)
Blog every day this week :-)
HEALTH AND WELL BEING
Do 1 yoga session outside of class
Start a nutrition diary writing down how I feel after eating/drinking (and also how I feel next day)
Reconnect with one crystal
SPIRIT
Celebrate Esbat with S
Start preparations for Imbolc
Work on/Plan pouch.
Well, thats me. I had intended on being asleep by now but theres still so much I want to do before work! Theres a lesson there Caroline! Stop trying to do so much and you might stop running yourself down!
Night night!

Journal Your Christmas catch up!
Happy New Year everyone!
I've FINALLY photographed my JYC pages to date so be warned ...this is a SERIOUSLY photo heavy post!!!
I finally managed to break my scrappers mojo and do Day 6!!
And a new printer meant I could do my photos for my pages I had missed before I carried on!
Day 15 involved hidden journaling about my feelings for certain visitors I get all year round:
Day 16 was a thought provoking page about what I'm grateful for:

Day 16 was a thought provoking page about what I'm grateful for:
Day 17 was about our late night shopping sessions:
Day 18 was about the menu for Christmas day with hidden journaling:
Day 19 about letters to Santa:
And day 20 what I really want for Christmas (disappointing photo of a lovely page - light was poor when I took it)
Day 21 was a look at life right now:
22nd December was the Solstice this year, so todays page HAD to be about that:
Day 23 showcased some decor I hadn't shown off before:
Christmas Eve was about why I love this festival:
On Christmas Day I opted for a full 8x8 photo and a double page layout :0)
On Boxing Day we went out for our festive meal, the journaling for this needed to stay hidden:
On 27th we had a lie in and then went to the sales:
On 28th I catalogued my indulgences:
29th saw my return to worlk and we saw family in the evening:
December 30th was a little year in review page:
And yesterdays page was of course about New Years Eve:
I haven't even read todays prompt yet - I've been too busy snapping shots of these pages and editing them :0)
I'm enjoying 2012 so far! I hope you are too
xoxo
