Project 365 - Jan 11

-
Now today I was in a bit of a pickle because all the pictures I took were all rubbish, it was gloomy and rainy outside and gloomy and dark inside LOL. But I finally got this photo of my daughter Bella reading in the evening.


Why take a picture of this you ask? Well Bella has been very slack about reading recently preferring to spend all her free time on the playstation and the computer. So I had to come down a bit hard on her and I banned her from these activities until she had read for 1 hour each day! Well to sweeten it a little I took her to a book store and she got to pick a new book. She picked a Pre-Teen novel called INGO. At first she was a reluctant participant but yesterday evening I found her laying on her bed reading her book AFTER her 1 hour had been done that morning! The triumph of a good parenting move had to be imortalised by the camera LOL

Well I have made a start on my first resolution and I have been taking my photo-a-day. I am probably only going to post on Sundays though because it is a bit of a pain uploading the photos daily blah blah blah so I thought that once a week is plenty. It's pretty quiet here on Sundays so I am hoping that this will be a good time to post the weeks photos. I am going to use the gorgeous photo frames from Deb's fabulous 365 Challenge over at Pickleberrypop - if you like them you can get them too by going here or clicking on the image :) So here are my first four days for my Project 365 - I hope I can make the distance this time. As to the other parts of my new Years resolutions I have to say i am off to a pretty good start there too. I spent some time on the phone to one of my girlfriends which resulted in me going out to see the Twilight movie with her for a nice girls time (with our eldest girls but that is ok). I LOVED the movie and I really can't wait for the rest of them

I am really enjoying Project 365 right now! Deb's great challenge over at Pickleberrypop is really helping to keep the motivation going and I am finding it easier to remember to actually take the photos this time around .... so without further ado here are my photos for this week! My new regime of naturopathic remedies taste revolting so they MUST be good for me! It was a blurry photo but I ran Kelsey Smith's Love and Loss lightroom preset over it and I liked how it turned out! First thing in the morning the sun streams in through the dining room curtains - I love the light and shadow! My poor Ficus struggling along completely neglected and under-pruned! Chelsea was trying really hard not to look at me - she doesn't like me pointing the camera at her LOL The wonderful farewell gifts from my friends at QBC came in this beautifully wrapped box! I loved this photo of Bella who seems to be adopting these moody poses these days (must be adolescence arriving!eeek) - I ran a vint
