Day 09- Something you’re proud of in the past few days

I'm really proud of my little girl and how well she is doing at speaking, she is growing up fast. This evening she did a rolly poly totally out of the blue, she was so excited that she did more and loved it. Also I'm proud of my husbands New Years resolutions!

We had New Years Eve with Rere, Tony and Jane

Tony and I saw the space lab rocking through the stars for the first time. He wanted to see a UFO but I think he was still pretty happy to have seen that. I'm a little bit weary after my night and need a good sleep! It had been a long time since I had a few and a half drinks I LOVED IT :)

My Youtube clips of the day is FIREWORKS from 2011 celebrations

My card for the day was opportunity to forgive

heal, grow and release negative patterns

Art Every Day Month Day 7 - Encaustic Wax

Finally life is back to normal

Today is the first day in nearly 2 weeks that we have back our happy little singing girl. Nothing worse than a sick child! It makes you realise, on days like today, how lucky we have it.
I got a lot done today I started painting a series of affirmations paintings for our house. It will be nice to be surrounded in positive words when we need them. Called into the recycling centre and the supermarket. Gave shit to plummer Dan when he walked in on me cleaning the shower and chatted to the builder who is fixing our bathroom floor. Caught up with Chanz, Mum and Lyn. Got my 4 artist trading cards ready to send off 2mora for the next trade. Bought a Norfolk pine for our Christmas Tree, potted it in a lovely pot and decorated. I also split up one of my plants that I have wanted to do for sometime now but had ran out of potting mix. I got a shock when I drove into the Springvale Garden Centre it's FLASH!
