 FOR TODAY Thursday, 30th December 2010.

Outside my window... NO snow!

I am thinking... how I don't like New Year's Eve..

I am thankful for... breaks from vertigo..

From the kitchen... the smells of home-made ciabatta

I am wearing... casual clothes & my slippers!

I am creating... the finishing touches to the last page of my 2010 365 art journal calendar.. can't believe I've kept it going all year!

I am going... to the cemetry in the morning to see how things are now the snow has melted..

I am reading... HP 3 still! to DS1

I am hoping... everyone I know & love has a safe, happy, peaceful New Year.. the unknown frightens me..

I am hearing... peaceful sounds after a hectic day..

Around the house... signs of the festive season..

One of my favourite things... my new teeny weeny pink Moleskine journal for my page a day doodling in 2011..

A few plans for the rest of the week: enjoy the time that's left together as a family before everyone goes off back to nursery, school, college & work..

Here is picture I am sharing...

I am linking my entry to The Simple Woman's Daybook.

 FOR TODAY Saturday, 20th November 2010.

Outside my window... damp & wet start to the day but the skies look promising..

I am creating... an art journal spread in someone's journal

I am going... to find a new winter coat for my little one..

I am hearing... the boys falling out.. why can't they play together nicely :(

Around the house... toys all over the floor!

One of my favorite things... my watercolour art journal... a place to lose myself :)

A few plans for the rest of the week: ... finish the art journal pages I'm working on ready for posting..

My little boy worked so hard for days & days colouring a picture a little at a time.. He was so very careful to not go out of the lines.. & persevered.. & it paid off! .. He won a competition!

I am so happy for him.. his artwork has gone on show this week & he had his photograph taken with some important people! He has learnt an important lesson & bagged some confidence :)

Simple Woman's Daybook

It's quite a while since I played along over at the Simple Woman's Daybook blog & it looks like there is one post for the whole of the month now instead of a new one each week, if I am reading it right.. I think I would still like to carry on each week as it is okay to add your links more than once a month.

For Today 30/10/10.

Outside my window... blue skies & weak sunshine, bit windy

I am thinking... will Tom settle back into Nursery on Monday, where is my grey thread for taking up Ben's new school trousers.

I am thankful for... not suffering from vertigo all of the time. We all agreed on the same pumpkin!

From the kitchen... chicken & ham rissotto not forgetting the peas Rae Rae ;)

I am wearing... blue jeans, pink t-shirt & my work shoes! (slippers ;)

I am creating... art journaling backgrounds, can't stop! I don't want to journal over some of them tho! Is that normal?

I am going... to GET WELL again.

I am reading... Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire.. for the 2nd time round! with DS1 & Kipper's Birthday party with DS2.. every night! For me? Journal Spilling.. love it. :)

I am hoping... Tom won't be sad when I leave him on Monday morning at Nursery...

I am hearing... the noisy birds... are they ever going to migrate this year?

Around the house... signs that we are a very busy family... Lego.. Playmobil.. my 365 art journaling pages I'm trying to get up todate for Monday!

One of my favorite things... snuggling under a blanket on the settee in an evening with my 3 angels before bed & having a laugh.

A few plans for the rest of the week:visiting my Dad, & taking fresh flowers to the Cemetry.

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...

Thank you for calling & leaving a comment if you get the chance. Have a great weekend. Gez ♥

Well....

I didn't get far with this!! I have played before past posts listed in labels on {Gezzyb's Jots}.

I so wanted to keep up with this as last year I did have a go on paper & it worked quite well... I just couldn't keep up printing out the photos! & then I lost my book (which is still missing... did see it once I remember!) sooooooo I started this blog... which has been rather neglected... suppose I am a true Gemini starting new projects all the time!!

I don't expect many if any readers, commentors or followers but it would be lovely.... why not join in the fun over at {Simple Woman's Daybook}.

My idea is that it will make a lovely keepsake for my children when they are all grown up! Not at this rate! but I will try harder!! Thanks for calling, if there is anyone out there! Hugs, Gez ♥

FOR TODAY... 04/01/10.

Outside my window... lots & lots of snow

I am thinking... how will I push the pram up to school in the snow?

I am thankful for... my BIG silvercross pram.

I am wearing... house clothes!

I am remembering... how it snowed last year & we struggled up to school.

I am going... to get my DT pieces photographed.

I am currently reading... The Guy Next Door.

I am hoping... my chest gets better. Feels tight. Peak flow not that brilliant.

On my mind... when is Celebritiy Big Brother starting?

Noticing that... my I feel sooooooo tired.

Pondering these words... ??

Around the house... lots of dust.
