I've been a bit quiet

-
Yes I know I've been a bit quiet but I do have a good excuse. After the tonsillitis grudgingly gave way to the antibiotics and bid me a fond farewell, I found to my utter horror that I had developed a head cold. Now while I know intellectually that it is impossible to catch a cold via the internet, I would like to point out that my friend Carol is currently in the grips of a nasty cold - coincidence?? I DON'T THINK SO! LOL. Only joking Carol......

Well I tried to take it easy this weekend and I didn't do much housework at all. Tasha has a cold too so we lay around not doing much at all, and of course Bella was happy playing on the computer for all hours. Hubby was working like a demon in the back room to prepare the new wardrobes (plastering, sanding and painting) for the doors which we hope will arrive this week - yippee! He is such a clever man and so handy to have around. I wonder what jobs I can think of for him next LOL!

When I did get off my sick bed (again) I felt that I needed to catch up on my posting around the boards and to work on my CT commitments so I posted for ages and then did a LO with Natalie's great new kit - Over the Rainbow, available at Pickleberrypop


And here is my LO - Tasha in the Park

Credits as always are here

In other CT news - The lovely Anna Benjamin @ Studio Anna is putting out later in the week these super cute Butterflies called Madam Butterfly, in both Swarms and Singles


and I had lots of fun using them on this LO.

Butterfly Princess

Ok then well it's late now so I had best head off for the night. I am hoping that once I shake off this cold I will be back and posting like mad again. So ta ta from me for tonight!

Oh you poor thing. It is horrid isn't it? I bet you look like a red nosed reindeer right about now and those tissues feel like sandpaper. {{{hugs}}} If it makes you feel better mine lasted just over a week and now I feel right as rain.

As for the Butterfly Princess, oh my! What a look she's giving you. That is just precious.

I just love this butterfly princess layout, Amanda. You've done a great extraction here. It's such a pretty kit too.

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
