"One Little Word - 2022"

 Hi Friends,
I hope you are all well and things are good in your part of the world!!!
I  had a bit of a spill, last Thursday morning at work. I hit the right side of my face, shoulder, elbow, arm, ribs, etc.....I wasn't rushing, just doing my job and it just happened.....  I am very bruised and sore, so off work for a week. Luckily this time, I didn't break anything and I am healing.  "The older you are the longer your body takes to recover" 


Anyway.........This is keeping me pretty quiet, which is probably a good thing. I have been able to think about 2022 a bit and my "One Little Word" for the New Year. If you don't know what this is check out this blog by Ali Edwards who started it all in 2006........ "HERE"

I don't bother with resolutions as they bore me. I choose a word to carry with during the year, that I can use in my daily life..........

 I may not do something with it every day but that is ok. I do what I feel like doing. Some past words I have used are, HEALTH, FAMILY, FOCUS, SIMPLIFY, ME, FRUGAL, CAPTURE and CREATE. The first year I took Ali's Class and followed her monthly prompts, in a scrapbook format, then I changed it up and did it in different ways.





For 2022 my word is going to be More........ 

*Family - spending quality time with my boys

*Selfcare - good food and exercise

*Journaling/Memory Keeping

*Rest - when I need it and listen to my body.

*Gardening- outdoor spaces

*Cooking- more from scratch

*Happiness.......

* Love.......

*Living.......

*The little moments........

These are just the main things I want to focus on, but Im sure there will be others. I like to have my word visible, so I see it everyday. I will probably use a frame or a canvas to create some art and display this somewhere in my home. It is a reminder of my word and what I want to achieve next year personally.......

Do you have a word for each year? I would love you to leave me a comment and let me know :)

Have a great week and I hope you are getting into the Xmas Spirit!!
Not Long Now xx

    You know Kerrie that’s a great word for your prompts. After the year I have had it’s going to be hard to choose a word. Daughter being burned to 60% of her body, she survived and is going forward great guns. But lots of family passing away, and girlfriend with stage 4 melonoma cancer and doing treatment I am at a loss for a word that encompasses the whole gauntlet. I like your prompts and will pinch them but at a loss for the word. By the way I love your work it’s awesome. Please get better quick because they don’t make spare parts for our model Merry Christmas to you and your family too.

"Pj Day & My New Craft Space"

Image
 Hi Everyone, I hope you had a great week and the weekend is going well........ I am having a Pj day and a play in my new Craft Space :)  Probably like a lot of crafters out there.......when my boys were younger and home with me, I always used a part of the living room or the kitchen, for my scrapbooking and craft. I started off with one table, a small book case and basic tools, when I first started scrapbooking 20 years ago.  I have slowly built up my stash and it hasn't cost me a fortune, as I have recycled and bought the right pieces for my space. My boys have settled nicely into their home now and are getting on well. They both moved out when they were ready and I never pressured them.  Things happen and the right time eventually came. I loved having them at home, but it is also a new chapter for me with them leaving the nest...... So.......... after a few weeks of condensing, destashing, re-arranging, cleaning, sorting and moving in, my craft room is finally the way I want it

Mums Journal - Challenge 4"

 Hello There, It is Thursday evening here in Victoria Australia, as we go into another 5-day lockdown!!!!! I think we are all over it but oh well!!!! Nothing really changes that much for us as we are Essential Workers...... After work this afternoon, I had a go at the Mini Chomp #4 which was to make two small notebooks to go into your journal..... These were fun to make and came together quickly, which if you know me, is a good thing :)  I folded some 6.5" square pattern paper in half and just stapled them with my long stapler. One of my most used tools. I just made a little collage on the front of them to embellish, using scraps on my desk. A few of the pages are above to show how I am going to use them in mum's journal. I used lightish pattern papers that could be written on and I also added some stamping, a few journal cards, and a couple of flip out pages to add extra photos or journaling.  The Junk Journaling for Everyone Group on FB is very friendly and helpful. I am enj
