New Year, New Phone, New Apps

Having a little time out after some surgery.

I visited the chapel a few times.

Quiet, peaceful place for contemplation.

Love the old 6x6 format.

New iPhone...New Apps.

Nice :))

Time to catch up and get back into the Blogosphere.

Time to let a few people know that I have missed our interaction

A LOT.

Exciting news about a little owl who has a long way to fly.

He has spread his wings

and is on his way Down-under.

Kal......I thank you.

KAZ

he's on his way (SO excited)

I am also Nurturing My Creativity with Kal

Trying to Nurture my Creativity

trying to nurture myself a little more!

Belle is off to Kindy tomorrow, I am going to Nurture my creativity with Kal.

What are you doing for YOU?

Thanks for dropping by

woohooo

crazy time

i'm on bootcamp with kal

and very pumped

i'm in the middle of my work week

i woke up and forgot it was the 15th

my son walked out the front door with his baby sister in his arms

and a though that i seem to be having more and more lately

passed through my mind again

Lord he looks like his father!

our son was heading off to his second day of 'work'

he's got a job with his dad

what a lucky kid

a father AND a dad

i smiled :)

others should be so lucky

i couldn't find my car keys

i found my work keys

i was late for work

i caught sight of the date on the calendar

still couldn't find the car keys

i cried :(..

my precious friend & school registrar left work to collect me

bonus, there was a dance incursion, i was NOT late for my first official class of today

i smiled :)

my boss smiled and laughed when she heard i'd misplaced my keys again >.<

i smiled too :)

i smiled because her laugh was a laugh of someone who knows me well

i laughed too :)

because it's something i do

misplace my keys

ˑ all ˑ the ˑ time ˑ

my deputy laughed and asked if i'd checked the car door

because that's where i'd found them the last time i'd misplaced them

i laughed :)

and said no

but thank you for remembering where i'd left them the last time i misplaced them :)

feeling bulletproof, i'm positive

i smiled :)

i wrote the date on the board, like i always do

i swallowed a lump in my throat

and looked to a photo of our kids

one of many photos i keep in my classroom

and i wished they could wrap their arms around you

i wished they could wish you a happy birthday today!

no more birthday hugs :(

s'ok i gave each one of them a hug and a kisses today

and gave thanks that i get to see you everyday

in them

i smiled :)

then i realized i too have a bullet proof positive attitude

i just need to stop sometimes

and take a big breath

and

believe

that

i have what i need

in any situation

and then i found my keys

wrapped up

in a little girls dress

with a $1.30 in change

and a little gingerbread man

on the same little girls bedroom floor

o_O

and it dawned on me

it's not always me that misplaces the keys

sometimes someone else has them

or knows exactly where they are

and

POW

my life became an analogy

again

and things quietened down

and i had time to post just the right picture for my bootcamp homework o_O

now my card reader won't read

go figure

so instead I'll post this

last time i posted i was getting back into the swing of creating just for me

inspiration led to this...so many people are full of joy

and arms and legs at the moment

:) it's a joke..get it ((>.<)) ok so it was a bad joke

at least i was trying :)

anywhooooo

back to my story

which led to family and friends sharing a special night for me

my piece

in a gallery

after being chosen to be a part of the HARTZ awards

( the Hedland Arts Awards )

and it was sold before the welcome speeches

and I have orders for two more

i'm doing a series of them

yeah, you couldn't wipe the smile off my dial for days :))

want one too?

let me know

but be quick

i'm only doing 26

i have the first in the series

the second sold on the awards opening night

buying art can sometimes make you feel as good as it feels when you're creating

if you really love a piece

if it speaks to you

sometimes it's the little things

that mean

much

and sometimes it's so much more

☝☝☝

this is Ninji

isn't she beautiful?

i look into these eyes everyday i go to work

and they inspire me

they make me want to get creative

and so does kal

"creativity is the passion that drives me

and the ideas that inspire me"

xXx

SOOC ❤ With A Difference ❤

2010-08-09T02:08:00.002+08:00

I truly understand where Melody is coming from this week.

Melody said

Words tease, elude and mesmerize all in the same moment.

I haven't felt the gift of words for some time. I've felt tormented and blessed all in the same instant,

but words have been running from me. My heart feels, but my mouth is mute; my fingers still.

So communication with photographs has been the obvious choice...

HOWEVER

Melody has been so busy 'living life' that there were no photos she could find that she felt the need to share.

❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧❧

Melody...I also have had bloggers block.

I have also put down the 'Almighty Canon Rebel'...

ALL HAIL MIGHTY CANON

...however, I picked my more portable,

and uber cool, point and shoot.

Canon (surprise surprise) IXUS 130

It's a sweet little bundle of artistic inspiration packed into a tiny black box :0)

Melody has given us free reign this week to post

she has asked us to

Share anything from your heart...words, photographs...either or...maybe both...

...because life is short and precious and...

a gift.

Firstly, if you don't mind check out ❀this post❀ quickly,

it's what makes this video

cool to watch.

Bella has been learning to 'read' from day dot, using a variety of media.

This little video....almost Straight Out Of Camera.....is Belle's 'reading a book that many people have had read to them,

it's been just over 40 years since Eric Carle first wrote and illustrated

The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

No Picture, no words can do this cuteness justice...I may however, be slightly prejudiced ♡♡♡ So I recorded it for you on my nifty ♡ Canon Ixus ♡

☆ What do you think? ☆

Drop on over to Melody's @ Slurping Life

and check out the memories others are sharing this weekend.

Thanks for dropping by

...and why don't more of you start leaving a little bloggy ❤love❤?

I know you're lurking ;0)

Be brave

Dear Thursday.... YOU HAVE MAIL ✉ ✉ ✉

2010-08-06T00:19:00.001+08:00

Dear Thursday,

I think you misheard me.
I said :

'Helllllo Thursday ♥ ♥ ♥ let positive energy surround us today PLEASE!
Keep that negative cr@p to yourself

thanks

:0) Jewelz'

.....I did not say pop a suppository up my 'mental' a$$ because I'm emotionally bound up today, PLEASE!!!....I did NOT appreciate the screwed up energy you surrounded me with today, it ended up giving me the absolute mental SHITS ((>.<))

Could you go a little easier on me tomorrow please, seeing how it will be FRIDAY, the first day of my extra looong weekend.

I understand that you are creating new exciting opportunities...but can you just go a little gentler on me next time....ease back on the throttle a little will you PAHLEEEEZE!

I've done a few extra little deeds of kindness lately, in recognition of the extra effort I have made, i.e I made some KILLER Rasberry Swirl Cup cakes filled with a raspberry cream, new creation, and they were DELISHISHTRAIGHTTOYOURASSISIOUS. I took them off to work and shared them around ♡♡♡ so could you please cut me a little f@rkin slack this weekend! I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks

The Eldest He-Devil has been to the Big City :0)

to compete in Dance for Country Week with his dance crew from School

(0: They R☆CKED the house :0)

...Then...

☆☆☆LOVE IT☆☆☆
Our little Stars Josh, Holly & Jacinta were helped along the road to ST☆RDOM by the AWESOME independent Australian dance artist Josh Mu {{shouts out to Josh}} and led by STEPS' Artistic Director Alice Lee Holland {{Go Alice}}.

This is the STEP's Workshop that Josh won a bursary for :0)

Proud Mumma ♥ ♥ ♥ Can you spot our babies in the video?

STEPS Youth Dance Company

Freerange Workshop 2010

The above link should take you to the Video put together

by the STEP's Team :0)

ok...just pointing out our stars☆☆☆ because I can:0) Josh cartwheels through the near group at the 57 sec count then lifts Sam up and through the group. Josh has the blonde flash in his fringe...our Miss Holly follows straight on @ the 1.09 sec mark. Holly is the last dancer in the wave, left side of screen that powers the move back down the line and our dear Jarr (aka Jacinta) is the blonde in the back row {whipping up some awesome floorwork Miss Jarr} @ the 1.22 mark :0) ☆☆☆
are we proud...DAYMN RIGHT WE ARE :0)

I can't believe they've been kickin' it since they were FOUR!!!

♥♥♥ Yes FOUR ♥♥♥

♥♥♥♥♥or that 12 years after first meeting♥♥♥♥♥

♡♡♡these two are a couple♡♡♡

Very Cute

I was reminded of a couple of quotes over the space of the fortnight Josh and I spent away

I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.
-- Agatha Christie

and

Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve your performance the next time.
-- Og Mandino

The first day of Country Week was the third anniversary of Josh's father's death.

Our boy shone brightly and owned his place in space.

He, along with his sisters, have shone in the face of adversity and I am very VERY proud of each of them.

BELIEVE

that

in the face of adversity

that you too can shine

☆☆☆I DO☆☆☆

Fantastic Friday

2010-07-16T21:00:00.000+08:00

This is Kaz......I have pined for him for what seems like forever!

I never dreamed I would be able to afford the postage let alone the actual cost.

Things change.

I BELIEVED that Kaz was destined to adorn a wall in my home.

My family's home.

Where ever my family chose to call home.

I just couldn't comprehend HOW he was gonna make it from Kal's place

in Canada

to my place

in Australia

:0)

Guess What?

LOOK

I'm almost famous

{{{{SIGHS}}}}

Kal Barteski

inspires me

and I am grateful

Sometimes Less IS More

2010-07-15T23:01:00.001+08:00

I talk :0)

I talk alot :0)

I have been busting to get back to blogging.

So yesterday, on a day that my head was spinning with thoughts,

instead of doing what I would normally do

I did the opposite

I stepped out of my comfort zone

I spent a moment in time being quiet, standing still.

and the world kept spinning around me

no sh!T go figure :0)

I put a lot of pressure on myself.

ME? I put pressure on myself, no sh!T go figure :0)

I put so much pressure on myself to find the PERFECT shot to post for Wordless Wednesday

I ended up posting NOTHING!

If I posted the photos I wanted to post

I'm sure they would have been oooHHhhh and awhhhed over

HOWEVER

I didn't want to convey an ooOhHhh awhhhh happy happy moment

I wanted people to be sad when they looked at the photo

because I was feeling sad.

I would have posted a half page essay explaining why I wanted to post a particular photo

One I'd rather you

silently observe

and that would have not been a

Wordless Wednesday

I postponed posting

and I am ok with that

what did I want to post

.........this..........

Our first born in his Fathers arms

Three Years ago yesterday, the little babe in this photo carried the man in this photo.

It was a bizarre juxtoposition!

I watched it, I pinched myself, it was not real.

I didn't want it to be real.

I practiced denial....

....and I believe that three years ago, denial helped me get through the day.

Now three years on I believe I am starting to accept that this man is no longer with us,

in an earthly sense that is

Three years ago my eldest child, my son, carried his father's coffin.

It was the closest he or one of his siblings had physically been to their father in well over four years.

My heart ached on so many different levels back then.

Today it mostly hurts

☆☆☆because he would be so proud of how bright our little stars are shining☆☆☆

it hurts me, because when I watch them succeed,

my heart is bursting with pride....more than enough for two people!

the aching in my breast is a good ache

We created these gorgeous talented people Murray

They miss you

I miss you

Thank You Murray

Things Have Been Changing........

2010-06-16T01:40:00.000+08:00

Things have been changing around here......

For those of you who patiently check back to see where we're at

THANK YOU

We are moving onwards

and

upwards

Embracing change has been IS hard

confusing

confronting

It can also reveal a completely different perspective

a different spectrum of thought...

....and that is not always a bad thing.

It's Feels Good To Be Back In The Swing Of Things

even if I am spinning on a slightly shifted axis as I swing :o)

I shall chat to YOU soon

Short but Sweet

This Weekend

was spent submersed in diversion therapy... cooking up a spectacular treat for the senses :0)

concentrating on the cake and my kids took my mine off

of issues that are putting pressure on our family unit :0(

Aint it preeeety :0)

I didn't have my camera when I set the cake up at the party, so I borrowed a camera to snap a shot or two of the cake set up om the stands and with the topper added!

I was so pleased at how it turned out.

The chocolate is embossed with little flowers

AND

there was edible glitter EVERYWHERE, and I do mean everywhere!

Thanks for dropping by

!!!!!!!!But It's Not My Birthday!!!!!!!!!

2010-04-11T19:30:00.008+08:00

It wasn't my birthday

I was however, asked to make a cake for a birthday

It was the 6th birthday of twin girls,

that's why we have TWO Doras :0)

Their Mum asked me to step it up from my usual cupcakes eeeep

So I had a mild panic attack jumped at the challenge!

Last day of school, Thursday week ago, she comes to me and says she would like it for

7pm

on EASTER SUNDAY!!!!

That gave me no freakin' time at all just three days to come up with a concept

bake the cakes

and make it!

My directions were...they like princesses.

{{crickets chirp}}...that was it.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

Hmmm...having a play with the size of the pics that are uploaded on my blog,

I am thinking these are a little pixellated!

So this is sort of a testing testing post :0)

Thinking of Changing the place around a little,

freshening things up, road testing new things.

You'll notice the cake had a little change too...can you pick it???

Go on, give it a go. It's a little like those 'pick the differences' cartoons/pictures

subtle but different and better, in my eldest daughter's my opinion :0)

To top it off...it actually tasted pretty divine.

Bella over saw the whole process,

to see if she might like a castle cake for her next birthday

...she thinks she does...

What sort of pain in the butt 'fancy' cakes have you had a go at making?

Was the reward worth the blood, sweat and tears effort you put into making the cake?

(I actually got cold hard cash monetary rewards...I also loved the wide eyed look of genuine surprise, delight and wonder on the twins faces when I delivered their cake)

JOY OH JOY

SOOC Saturday ~ A Different Perspective ~

2010-04-10T18:25:00.005+08:00

Trying a technique that is new to me

A new perspective

...and they are SOOC Straight Out Of Camera~No Editing!

How many of you have heard of TTV Photography?

Through The Viewfinder

(Members of a TTV Flickr Group show off what they are doing, you can also find out more about the technique via the discussion boards if your interest is sparked)

Using one camera, in my case my Canon EOS 450D, to shoot a photo

Through The Viewfinder of another camera.

I have just had delivered to my hot little hands a Kodak Duaflex II Twin Lens Reflex Camera care of eBay...the cost was minute, compared to the postage.

These little suckers are hard to find in Oz

I am looking forward to investigating the possibilities this technique

holds install for me.

Ready to Explore from a whole new perspective.

Perhaps even invest in a few more vintage cameras to try out!

Now why don't you pop over to Melody's at Slurping Life

and explore the SOOC shots of the talented participants :0)

and why not leave a little bloggy love!

Thanks for dropping by my place

things have been a little off kilter of late,

starting to find my groove again

and I look forward to sharin' a little of that groove with you :0)

❤Hedland Senior High School Masquerade Ball 2010 SOOC❤

2010-03-29T02:12:00.008+08:00

THIS IS A TRUE STORY

the year 11 & 12 ball

a masquerade ball~diamonds are forever~

coincidentally the 'He-Devil's' birth stone is a diamond!

the 'He-Devil' AKA Josh and his ♡date♡ Miss K.

{don't tell anyone but the older he gets the more Josh reminds me of his late father and it's candid moments like this that bite at my heart a little because I see his father looking back at me and wish he was here to watch his son grow into such a fine young man}

for the best part of three and a half years they have had eyes for each other

and others have witnessed this little 'dance' between the two of them

it's cute to watch them muck around together

she moved to town a little over three and a half years ago

{{it wasn't long before he whispered to her

that he thought he might just have a little crush on her}}}

they had moved thousands of km's,

from the same city in fact that we hail from,

but it wasn't the only thing they had in common

...another coincident, one that 'weirded' them out for sometime...

was the fact that almost thirty years ago her aunty was my good friend at high school,

and I had a crush on her aunty's brother((we actually snogged, once!))...Miss K's FATHER!!!

TRUE STORY

'my mum kissed your dad, my mum kissed your dad'...... eeewwwwww!!!

TRUE STORY

'tee-hee'...it's still SO weird!'

but try as they might to deny it sometimes

each clearly has a soft spot for the other

i was glad they let me tag along for a little while

glad we got to grab a few shots lit by the gorgeous Pilbara sunset

glad to see my boy growing into such a fine young man

with a gentle romantic heart, that he desperately tries to hide,

but fails miserably with that attempt at concealment sometimes {{{mother smiles widely}}}

.........naaaaaaaawww.........

♡♡don't this just melt your heart♡♡

and to top off the start to the evening

friends turned up in their 'Hummer'

to deliver my baby boy and his girl to the ball

{{{{sigh}}}}

wanna know what he's singing to her ???

{{{SIGH}}}

quiet apt really...oh if you only knew how much this boy L♡VES to sing

...we do things in grand style here in the Pilbara...

Oh Yeeeeah Bayyybeeee

This has been my weekend's highlight in SOOC

(0: TRUE STORY :0)

Go visit my friend Rach, meet her Hubby, Mr Daddy

over at Once Upon A Miracle

and listen to a whole heap of other TRUE {mostly} STORIES

This week Rach puts me, somewhat awkwardly, in the spotlight

ALL BECAUSE I FOUND A LITTLE EYE CANDY THAT IS VERY VERY ADDICTIVE!

Like pistachio nuts. Pistachio nuts! Addictive?

If you don't like pistachio's you will not get this...

Have you EVER been able to have just ONE pistachio?

...plink! Ahhh, now you get it?

2010-03-13T14:13:00.005+08:00

♥♥♥Strive To Be All You Can My L♡VES♥♥♥

My eldest three

Tess, Josh, Jordy

Centre Stage In My Heart

Josh flying high

Adapted move for a busted hand

Reach for the ✩✫✩stars✩✫✩ Miss Jordy!

Stage Photography is a little tricky.

I am lucky enough to have three children who are drawn to the spotlight.

We are doubly lucky that their high school has been acknowledged as a

Specialist School of the Arts...I don't think another country school has been awarded this Title.

We are blessed to have some awesome Specialist Arts teachers.

My kids aren't shy to get up there and give it a go.

The He-Devil AKA Josh is an all rounder, he dances, sings, plays musical instruments and enjoys acting ...but not as much as the singing and dancing!

The Senior She-Devil AKA Jordy has discovered a love of dance, her brother's inclusion in the winning 2008 Rock Eisteddfod crew, encouraged Jordy to get involved in 2009. She loved it!

This Year the Youngest She-Devil AKA Tess was accepted into the newly introduced Specialist Art Program at Hedland Senior High.

Tess loves singing and is now developing a love of dance.

Thursday was the first Arts Showcase for 2010.

The school puts on a show, and invites the parent/family/caregivers and community members, to let us see first hand what our kids have been working on in the first five weeks of the school year.

I am lucky that I am a parent AND a teacher it gives me connections that allow me to play with my camera, trying to come to terms with shooting stage shots MINUS flash, so you do not distract the performers!

Yes you have to pump up your ISO...so sometimes the shots have a lot of 'noise' visible BUT I love that I get to come in during dress rehearsals to click a way. I love that I get to see how my brood is progressing.

I am so very proud of each of them.

This week past I was particularly proud of the He-Devil.

He had an accident Saturday just gone and has broken some bones in his hand.

No cast, because they are chipped bones in his carples, but some pretty serious strapping.

He ditched the strapping, adapted his moves so he did not have to use his right hand very much for his performances and the 'show did go on' :0)

So today on SOOC Saturday I am sharing a few pics from the Showcase.

Yes Yes Yes, I am a proud Mamma :0)

Joining back in with SOOC Saturday.

Shots taken Straight Out Of Camera~No editing allowed!

After taking a break from blogging...Melody,

from Slurping Life, is back :0)

She has become a Grandmother since we last spoke.

I rejoice in your happiness Melody.

As you greeted your Earth Angel, Melody,

We sadly said goodbye too soon to our little jelly-bean.

Take wings and fly my love, fly on the wings of angel to His arms.

I will see you again when I join you in His company.

This photo made my heart ache in a comforting way.

A few noisy Cockatoos were flying around just before sunset,

there was some fantastic clouds in the sky.

I see wings, I see a light in the heavens.

This photo brings me peace at the moment.

My loss has taken flight.

Drop on over to Melody's and check out

Sad Heart

2010-02-06T12:38:00.003+08:00

Just a brief update.

What picture will be 'the right' picture?

Like it really matters!

I've opened my Blog Page so many times, then shut it because I don't know

how to put my words together eloquently enough.

So, I'll just write it down and go from there.

We were hoping to announce to you all this week, that we had made it through the first trimester of our pregnancy...and that the last member of the Byrne's Brood

was well on their way.

Sadly, our little jelly-bean was not destined to be held in our arms,

instead they will remain in our loving hearts and in thoughts of 'what could have been'.

I was admitted to hospital last Monday after having a miscarriage.

The world keeps spinning and things go on....doesn't stop me/us from being very very sad.

I'm around...just a little quiet

☼A Guest Post on True Story Tuesday☼

2010-01-05T19:21:00.008+08:00

Hi Guys

I'm Belle.

I'm the baby of the Byrne's Brood

and today I am Mumma's guest blogger

So, since I've been on holidays,

I've discovered there are a few rules of thumb to follow

when you go to the beach with BOYS!

Boys ALWAYS show off,

especially when there might be girls watching!

Sisters are handy props if you want to impress the beach babes!

They'll toss you around,

just to show the other girls that their muscles are

NOT just for show!

BUT

One of the most important lessons I learnt is....

When they ask you to help them dig a hole

They nearly ALWAYS have ulterior motives

...and when they say hop in, alarm bells should be ringing!

Yes, I ended up buried right up to my neck!

At least my Brother was thoughtful enough to let me borrow his glasses,

just so I wouldn't get sand in my eyes!

It could have been worse though....seriously

BOYS!!!!

Oh yeah this next shot is exactly what it looks like!

This is what they did to my Sista

(as opposed to my Sissy in the first shots)

My Dad and my Brother think they are

SO funny!!!!!

Mumma says it's what an Aussie might call a map of Tassie!

(Mumma won't explain further, she says you have to google it, what ever googling is?)

Oh and lastly, I discovered that it doesn't matter how loudly or how often you yell HELP,

If you're buried up to your neck in the sand and your Dad and Brother are standing over you laughin' their butts off, these guys will not help you!

APPARENTLY they only save you if you're drowning or in trouble IN the water!

Life Savers, yeah right!!!!

Just drive on by guys, just drive on by!

...Sneak Peek...

2010-01-04T20:03:00.003+08:00

A sneak peek at what I'm drinking........

Great Coffee, I'm at Grandma Frog and Gompsey's,

every morning the aroma of freshly ground coffee beans fills the air mmmmmm ☺

.........and a glimpse of what I am reading,

WM. Paul Young's 'The Shack'

I particularly like a descriptor on the back of the book...

...In a world where religion seems to grow increasingly irrelevant THE SHACK wrestles with the timeless question: Where is God in a world so filled with unspeakable pain? The answers Mack gets will astound you and perhaps transform you as much as it did him. You'll want everyone to know you have read this book!

My thanks again go to Justin's parents for leaving this book under the coffee table in the sunroom and to Dad who said if I only do one thing these holidays, reading this book will be the best thing I did. Wise words Gompsey♡♡♡Grandma Frog, I might also follow in your footsteps and download the cyber version onto my iPhone

☺

Thank you both for all of the wonderful things you have brought into my life.

I love you both dearly and am grateful I can call you family.

♥♥♥I am blessed♥♥♥

What's a girl to do........

2010-01-03T20:42:00.005+08:00

.........when all she wants is freshly squeezed orange juice?

Juice some oranges of course ☺

What?

You didn't actually think anyone else was gonna get in the car drive to the shop,

buy some oranges then come home and juice them for me did you???

No...neither did I!

I did however, thoroughly enjoy my glasses of freshly squeezed juice.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

FRESH

What did you enjoy today?

I also enjoyed breakfast with the family.

down at a cafe overlooking Brighton Beach,

even if they did cram all NINE of us onto three weeny tables squished together!

I was just doing a little web surfing, trying to find a little artistic inspiration.

Hans Silvester spent six years photographing the Omo people of Ethiopia

His pictures left me in silent awe.

This photo is my absolute favorite.

Do yourself a favour and check out this YouTube slideshow of Hans Silvester's photo's of the Omo People.

I BELIEVE I have been inspired by something very, very magical.

For those who are a little unwilling to come to the 'dark-side' and join Facebook,

Perhaps you might like a Facebook like I have.

I love journals and this was put under the Christmas tree for me.

It was a gift from my darling brother-in-law Dee

and I think it is just so darn cute.

Did you receive anything that made you smile at it's unexpectedness for Christmas?

There were books galore under our Christmas tree

This book made me smile, widely!

✩✩HAPPY NEW YEAR✩✩

Hello 2010

resolutions seem so much like hard work

people make them

and break them

then get down on themselves

because they couldn't keep them

I am going to be a little easier on myself this year.

For the last few years I have watched a few of my favorite

Bloggers choose words to guide them through their year.

I've always seemed to have a hard time coming up with just one word.

In the past I had been torn between different words, and I always seemed to choose words that others had chosen, then felt like a bit of a fraud using

'their words'.

Perhaps the problem wasn't that I felt like I was being a copy-cat if I used the same word as someone else,

I think the problem was that I didn't believe that the right word had come to me.

This year however, is different.

I knew what word would become my mantra, so to speak.

!!!BELIEVE!!!

I have a hard time with Belief in so many different areas of my life.

At the core of it though, I think my biggest problem is that I did not believe in myself.

I did not believe that I was worthy.

This year I BELIEVE I can change those feelings.

I BELIEVE I CAN.

I am in no way under the impression that it will be easy.

I BELIEVE it will take great conscious effort on my behalf

to change a habit developed long long ago.

STILL, I BELIEVE I CAN

This year

I will BELIEVE.

I DO BELIEVE.

Hello 2010

I BELIEVE THIS YEAR WILL HOLD MANY WONDERS

and

I BELIEVE I WILL ENJOY 2010

I BELIEVE IT WILL BE A GREAT YEAR

♡for myself♡

AND

♡my family♡

♡and my dear friends♡

Do you have a particular word or saying you have chosen to adopt as your mantra this year?

If so , please share.

I love how one little word can have such a powerful effect

if you only

BELIEVE

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

Thanks for dropping by.

Bring it on 2010

...Koala's really DO roam Aussie Streets LOL...

2009-12-31T17:18:00.007+08:00

Finishing the Old Year in the manner I wish to start to continue

the New Year...Blogging more frequently.

I had such a hard time overcoming a storage issue with my laptop, I hadn't been able to

blog about our goings on here in Adelaide.

Storage problemo fixed

with the purchase of a 640GB external WD My Passport Hard drive

for the sole purpose of storing my photos.

It was my bargain buy of the post Christmas sales.

$120AUS...a savings off of the ticketed price of $100AUS

wooooooohoooooooooo

OK...a little feel good story from yesterday.

We were out an about in the Adelaide Hills yesterday,

with some friends that have relocated to Adelaide.

We were at a local Wine and Tapas Bar

Loca Vore

I was enjoying a Latte and thinking about my dear friend Lisa.

Thinking about how lovely it would be if she was enjoying the gorgeously sunny day

AND a coffee with me.

.....WHEN.....

Something happened that had everyone on the shopping strip buzzing.

Yes we live in Australia.

Yes we do have Kangaroos AND Koalas here....

....HOWEVER, they do not roam our streets

as presumed by many people overseas.

☺☺☺BOY did this kick THAT theory in the pants LOL ☺☺☺

A local helps the little dude safely across the road.

He does a little window shopping.

He stopped and allowed Belle and I close enough to take a photo.

Then shimmied up a tree, struck a beautiful pose,

then hiked up a little higher to catch a few zzzzzzzz's

I was gobsmacked...but remembered my point and shoot tucked away in my bag.

I even remembered it had a video function.

Please excuse the ooohing and aaaahing,

and the dreadful shaking at times,

it is after all only a point and shoot,

However, I for one am absolutely rapt I have this captured on film and video☺

I giggle when I hear Belle's belly laugh.

She and I were in awe.

What a fantastic way to end a great day.

Yes I know it's not Tuesday...it WAS somewhere in the world when this happened though and I just want to let Rachel and Mr Daddy over at Once Upon A Miracle, that whilst I have been outta sight, THEY have not been outta mind :0)

Now to jump into the New Year feet first.

BRING IT ON

GOOD THINGS ARE A COMMIN'

Have a safe and Happy New Year

2009-12-21T23:04:00.003+08:00

It has been a hectic couple of days.

Finish school, tidied up and got my Art Room ready for next year!

Tidied our house, inside AND out...cyclone was heading for us!

{{with help, thank you magical Penny for attacking, and taming our fridge eewwww}}

{{Thank you Juzz for numerous tip runs, as a result of the cyclone clean-up outside}}

I will have a sparkly clean house to return too. L♡VE IT

Now all I have to do is go through the mounds of clothes left behind and discard those that are

no longer wearable ((too small, to stained or too daggy LOL))

and all will be wonderful in my world.

We jetted out of Hedland yesterday morning...just missing cyclone Lawrence which was threatening Heddy {{{phew}}}

Landed in Perth....caught up with my beautiful niece Ashleigh, her Mum and Ashleigh's boyfriend Brian, briefly though...we had a couple of hours layover in Perth.

Then flew onto Adelaide. Home with the Grandparents and doting Uncle D

for Christmas and New Year!

Aaahhhhhh{{{sigh of contentment}}}

We flew in @ 9.30pm.

Had a slow start to the day today...hey, it's holidays LOL ;0P

Enjoyed Good Coffee@home ((Love Mum and Dad's coffee machine mmmmm))

...then

...Lisa, I'm gearing up for our Chrissy Coffee and Cake Chat :0)

Took this photo this afternoon Lisa. Brighton Beach looking out to Brighton Jetty.

I was out scouting for the perfect place this afternoon for our next get together,

after I had an amazing hour and fifteen minute full body massage {{{sighs}}}

{{Anna Gray....you have AMAZING hands and an equally lovely heart.}}

♡♡♡I enjoy our sessions♡♡♡

Very very nurturing and therapeutic

Our coffee sessions Lisa AND Anna's massage sessions, that is LOL!

♥♥One followed by the other would be pure magic I think♥♥

Now to start my holiday list of things to do....hmmmmm.

Thinking Thinking

Back tomorrow with a little more info about my bloggy absence

and perhaps I'll even have a few things to add to my

'Things to do whilst on holiday" list.

Art Galleries are up there on my places to visit list :0)

I'm sure I shall find a plethora of places to keep me busy if I try hard enough LMAO!

Finally

Treasure your true friends this Festive season and kick the rest of em to the curb I say!

Don't waste a precious drop of energy on anyone who is NOT deserving of your attention.

Lavish it on those who are.

Count your blessings.

I know I have MANY to be grateful for.

The end of another school year.

If you kids think you've got something to jump up and down about,

You have got NO idea how much we teachers

are looking forward to the holidays!

Time to recharge

Time to reconnect

Time to rejoice

Hellooooo Holidays

....well it won't really be a holiday for me until I've washed and packed clothes

AND done some serious tidying up.

It's cyclone season, and we are on cyclone watch currently.

Cyclone Lawrence is doing a dance to the North of us.

We are experiencing rain....oh yeeeeah.

L♡VE it.

Though there are a few things we need to secure,

so we can holiday with out stressing :0)

✈ ✈ ✈ ✈ ✈ ✈ ✈ ✈ ✈ ✈ ✈ ✈ ✈ ✈

Watch out Adelaide..Cyclone 'Byrnes Brood' is heading your way LOL

Hope you've had a grand day.

OK OK So today was NOT a plethora of posts....HOWEVER!!!!!

2009-12-16T23:34:00.007+08:00

I vowed to post...

I aimed high, didn't quite get to the 'BlogFest'

I did however, do the best I could....

I made it on-line, I made it to my Blog, I uploaded some photos

✌✌✌Now to get back in the grooooove✌✌✌

Or to find my new groove....which I feel is more appropriate at this point in time.

To bring you up to speed would take far longer than I have tonight...

...yes, I didn't get to the computer until late late...but I still made it.

Yay for small accomplishments...{{{{applause}}}}

OK...I have decided to go with the positives.

and throw a curve ball in every now and then because.

Sheesh, talking about curve balls, I have dodged a few curve balls this past month,

one or two got me fair and square

on my proverbial 'bum cheeks',

stung like a mongrel each time the one or two made it past my defenses I can tell you!

The positive...my 'senses' are far sharper.

It's going to take a lot to get one past me from here on in.

I won't say never, I don't think anyone is born THAT lucky LOL :0)

SO...the first positive.

My birthday came and went, the day was a bit of a fizzer {{{sighs}}}

However the positive, it would appear my birthday heralded the end of

an absolute cr@p fortnight,

and saw the beginning of a new and more positive 'Life Chapter' for me.

I wasn't born until the evening and by the time the evening of my birthday came about,

♡♡♡I started to feel a weight lift♡♡♡

My birthday day was so very hectic, so much so that the letterbox was not checked

until the following morning.

I found a Parcel Pickup notification in the mail...dated with my birthday's date!

I was charged with excitement, the anticipation had been killing me...well not really, but you get what I mean...I had become curiouser and curiouser since my darling

♥♥Canadian Coffee Buddy Lisa♥♥

Had told me there was a surprise on it's way to me.

☺I L♡VE SURPRISES☺

The first surprise...there were TWO parcels!

The bigger parcel is my surprise from Lisa.

Truly I was stunned to silent tears of gratefulness.

I cannot explain how this woman has touched my life and what an impact

she has had on me as a person.

I am so much richer for having her in my life.

Thank You Lisa

{{{Mwah Mwah Mwah~blows kisses}}}

The Second surprise...I was SO not expecting what was in the box.

My mind had been wracked for weeks wondering what Lisa was up to.

She had asked many questions...well not that many but she asked a few,

my curiosity was roused LOL.

I first lay my eyes on a black and white pattern that reminds me of two things

that make me think of Lisa and I.

Two things that are different,

that each of us owns

that are strangely similar.

Then I notice the little touches that made this 'gift'

that much more special.

The card identifying the talented lady that made my precious gift.

Thank you Monique

from

Sew Fun By Monique

My 'treasure' even is the basis for a post over at Monique's blog

It even can be viewed on her Flikr Page...TWICE...ooh my treasure MY treasure ☺

♥I felt so special♥

Monique even took the time to pen me a note explaining how my 'treasure'

had come to be....and a lump developed in my throat.

Note the black and white pattern on Monique's Monogrammed note, though you can't see the M at the top of the page...oops.

Can you see the connections I was making? The above photo is one of my favorite cups.

Lisa and I have shared cyber coffees with these cups...you have to imagine she has hers in her hand...because that's what I do LMAO☻☺

So much like us...like two sides of the same coin.

Black and White

She's blonde, I'm brunette!

They just 'Go Together'!

Like Lisa and I

BUT WAIT

There's this.

This is where I made the initial connection!

I love the Demask Pattern...It reminds me of Photos of the Pedersen Family.

Like this.

It reminds me of the love, dedication and devotion they share for each other.

Mr Pedersen, you R✩CK also,

it takes a special kids of man to pull off Red Roses like you can:0)

I am grateful Lisa has shared these 'moments' and more from her life.

I am grateful Lisa has been 'gifted' to me by the Universe.

Thank You Universe

I L♡VE My Friendship Minky

That's what I have named it...

One, because it is lined with a plush minky fabric.

Minky sounds cute and cuddly

and the fabric IS soft, cute (check out the polka dots) and snuggly

It is my 'Friendship' Minky and just a little more precious

☝☝☝☝because of this very special little addition.☝☝☝☝

Lisa had Monique add a special 'message' panel on the Minky side of the throw.

It's our little thing, it's how we sign off our posts and our emails.

"ALL THE L♡VE IN THE UNIVERSE FROM ME TO YOU"

I cried happy tears.

Sue me I'm hormonal :0)

The other box contained a 16GB Purple 5th generation iPod Nanno

The one with the video function✔✔✔FRIGGIN' AWESOME!

More Awesome....it was FREE.

Well sort of.

I checked my Flybuy Points

and wooohooooo

I had enough to trade in and get the iPod.

The extra extra bonus...it arrived, amazingly, some ten days after I made the on-line transaction.

I was warned to expect up to a five week wait!

Double Score

Can I get an Oh Yeeeeeah!

And That My Friends,

Is the Beginning of my catch up.

There is SO MUCH more to come!

I have L♡VE to send to my very special friend, to whom I constantly send

'All the L♡VE in the Universe" too....yes my dear dear Lisa.

Computer glitches fixed. Life glitches...meh, they are still being nutted out!

Mad...absolutely MAD things happening that have left my head spinning.

The spinning has stopped and as soon as I can see straight again, I shall fill you all in.

THE ODE

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years contemn*.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We will remember them."

Quote from "Lest we Forget" by Laurence Binyon

10th Light Horse Brigade

(front row first on the right)

Charles Henry George Dawes

2 August 1910-18 July 1970

❤My Maternal Grandfather❤

Poem by Laurence Binyon

With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children,
England mourns for her dead across the sea.
Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit,
Fallen in the cause of the free.

Solemn the drums thrill: Death august and royal
Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres.
There is a music in the midst of desolation
And a glory that shines upon our tears.

They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncountered:
They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years contemn*.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

They mingle not with their laughing comrades again;
They sit no more at familiar tables at home;
They have no lot in our labour of the day-time;
They sleep beyond England's foam.

But where our desires are and our hopes profound,
Felt as a well-spring that is hidden from sight,
To the innermost heart of their own land they are known
As the stars are known to the Night;

As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust,
Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain;
As the stars are starry in the time of our darkness,
To the end, to the end they remain.

They shall grow not old....as we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them, nor the years contemn*
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.

* "contemn" original interpretation for "contempt"

Proudly Australian

Solemnly Remembering

Thank you to those who have served their country.

Tuesday Tease....True Story

2009-10-14T20:31:00.003+08:00

Short But Sweet

True Story Tuesday

I went on a brief sea-side holiday with my family.

I normally pack everything EXCEPT the kitchen sink,

with grand ideas of doing SO much more.

I inevitably come home from holidays

feeling like I've somehow failed myself

for not achieving more in my 'break'!!!

So this break, I gave it up...I let go, I just let inspiration come to me.

I welcomed in with open arms

I have been having withdrawals NOT doing any art that was for me...just me NOT a bunch of other peoples children,

instead of nurturing the child within...

my own inner child.

I even played with my camera..me, my camera and my wireless remote :0)

So this time all I took were two pad, one black & one white

A white chinagraph pencil.

I black and white paint pen

and a fineline black marker!

Water paints in a tin and a few paint brushes.

The water paints and I didn't really 'gel' on this break

HOWEVER

The Chinagraph pen and I had fun :0)

It was nice having inspiration at my doorstep :0)

Can you spot the inspiration for the

second picture in amongst

this flotsam and jetsam??

I went away on a short break

and I actually did a little bit of art.
