52Q, Week 31 - Three Words That Would Describe Me?

I went the humerous route, some people may not understand - but I cannot escape the truth I am fat, fifty and funny and you know what - I'm OK with that! Well to be honest I'm in my mid fifties, I am less fat this year than last year and some people may disagree with me being funny LOL!

In The Sun, Prompt 40 - Dream Summer Job

A Great Do - The Family BBQ

Today was the family gathering before our niece and her family go back to Hong Kong next week, sadly we missed Billy & family (who are in Canada), Emma & Family & David & Family (UK based) who could not make it for various reasons. So 7 kids & 13 grown-ups (I use that term loosely!) met in Bradley Stoke for a BBQ, the weather was kind to us, the food & drink plentiful - the kids had a great time, thanks to all who made it such a fantastic occasion!

Summer Of Colour - Week 8 - Orange

ORANGE

(Monday August 1st to Sunday August 7th)

The bonus challenge for the color Orange is to in some way incorporate your favorite quote or poem. You can either include the text directly into your work or you can let it serve as your inspiration.

52Q, Week 30 - Something I'm Thankful For?

I'm thankful for my darling husband Tim, he does everything, the house, the car, the garden, the shopping and he lets me be ME! I used a card my best mate Maggie made for his birthday as the base and the Thank You card was sent to me from the USA.

A New Journaling Class with Kaere Over @ Whispers and Wishes

Whispers and Wishes: a little window into the world where I create
"We all have a voice inside that encourages us to be greater than we believe ourselves to be. it urges us to nurture, create and wander. that voice speaks in whispers and we repeat its urgings as wishes-- I wish I had time to paint, to craft, to write... to whatever it is that we do that helps us become who we are. The journey is mostly private but the voice you hear is not very different from the one that speaks in me. it is not about the destination but rather who you become along the way" - Kaere

This amazingly eloquent lady is running a journaling course, designed to get you back into or to start journaling - perfect - go take a look, just $10 if you enrol today and only $15 afterwards so still great value. There's a couple of videos to watch (a preview and a warm-up) to see what you're getting into, SO go take a look, what are you waiting for?
