Its all been getting too much...

I haven't blogged for sooooo long. I haven't scrapped.  I haven't done anything crafty at all :0(
I've been feeling very down and work has really been stressing me out. I have not taken my own good advice and instead of letting things wash over me, I have been getting carried away - taken away on the tide of many things.
I really have felt lost :0(
But I'm feeling better (yay!!), not 100% back to me yet, but getting there.

Missing my curls already!!!

I spent HOURS curling my hair yesterday afternoon. We were going out to a gig and I wanted to look extra pretty. I am soooo happy with how my curls turned out but just wish they stayed after I've washed my hair!!!!

Simple Things - Achievement

Here is my Achievement tag. It's slightly wonkt on purpose as I am journaling that to me achievement is not about perfection but about loving what you are doing!

Playing with Picasa

I love the photo mosaics that people have been uploading onto the Love Your Pictures forum. After a quick question there lots of lovely people directed me to Picasa which I have now downloaded and have been playing with.
My first ever collage:

I've been busy!!

As you can see from the following photos - I have been busy enjoying Shimelle's latest course!
These were created using sketches from Prompt's 4 and 5. I just LOVE Shimelle's style and love to use sketches by her!

Hope you like them! I'm really happ with them although the photos aren't great!

Favourite day...

A while ago Shimelle asked us what our favourite day of the year was and to blog about it. Rather than blogging about my favourite day of the year though, I thought I'd blog about my favourite day of the week!
TUESDAYS!!! I LOVE TUESDAYS!!
Tuesdays are my day off! Although I actually work full time (well 37 hours a week), the way I work my hours (with a 10 hour day and every other Saturday - sob!) means I get every Tuesday off - YAY!! My lovely man is at work on Tuesdays so it is MY day, to spend how I want, and I love it!
I generally do the boring stuff as quickly as I can so I can spend as many hours as possible in my Craft shed.
Its such a simple day of nothing particularly special going on, but it really helps me to ground myself, and soak myself with things that I love.
This Tuesday I spent many hours trying to learn how to hold a golf club and hit a golf ball (hmmmm, more practice required, and while I can see this could be fun, it will not be my number one love!!!!) I also spent lots of time snapping away in the garden and learning how to deliberately over and under expose, and doing some catch up scrapping. Bliss!
