One of my lovely Christmas presents came from Brendy. She sent me a mini album and a a few other scrappy goodies. So I've been playing with my new album and filling it up with photos and stories of my Elf, Harvey's visit prior to Christmas.
I have joined the ranks of those who think about and live by a word for the year. My chosen word this year is action. Usually something like the above mini album would sit there for many a month before it got done. Not because I procrastinate, but because I prioritise, and scrapbooking comes way down on the list of priorities. My word action has many meanings for me. It means to do it now, put it into action so to speak...fit more into my day. It means to be more active. Get out and about more. Just do it, as Vicki would say :-) It means to action some of those things on my bucket list. I've always been a great list writer and then I systematically work through the lsit. I've found this week, there is no list, because I'm just doing it as it comes to mind. Hope I can keep this pace up when I'm back at work ;-)
We have new babies, and gosh they are small. Can't believe our 'big boys' were once that tiny.
This was us last night at nine...the dogs were really feeling the heat, so we took them off for a swim at the river. They aren't used to three walks in a day! They cooled down, had a play and then boy did they sleep! They weren't that keen on getting out of bed this morning. I got up and read...they stayed in bed with Lyall LOL.
We shot up to Oxford this morning and had brekky at the Farmers market, before catching up with a friend of Dad's, which was just lovely. With Project Life back up and running for me this year, I've been busy with the camera - and then playing with the photos, figuring out what I want in my album. Even had to go and buy a new printer when my old one gave up the ghost on the second journalling card! Have a wonderful week people.

Very cute album and pleased to hear that you are taking 'action' on it. T'was very hot last night and your dogs would have enjoyed the extra dip. Have a great week.
