sorry this is late guys!

Q - what 3 words would someone use to describe me?

background is part of a koco ny card (i love love their cards)...

i'm pretty sure anyone would describe me as messy, colourful and creative :)
i could ask around and get a different answer but i'll choose to live in denial instead! how would you be described?
please share!

Q - who do you need to thank?

(pic from almost 3 years ago by tara)

my dad has helped us out so much with this move - letting us use his car, he bought ivy a bike, and being a very lenient landlord!! we love him. and all our family who have fed us, repainted our house, given us their spare bedding and kitchen stuff and all the offers to babysit! it's awesome :)

it's always good to think about who you are thankful for! share your creation with us pretty please, and have a happy sunny week!

Q - do you have a recurring dream?

i made a few weeks cards ahead of time before i left san diego and i'm so glad i did as all my creative energy is being sucked into setting up house right now!

please share your card in the flickr group or the comments here when you are finished! there are currently 469 members of the group and there is some yummy yummies to look at so check it out for some inspiration and join in anytime :)

Q - what are your favourite days of summer/winter filled with?

i have been extra-appreciative of what summer has to offer as it has been short and sweet and we head into rainy-wet winter this week...
*juicy nectarines (many of them, and juicy chubby sticky kids that go with it!)
*the beach - watching the joy from my comfy spot in the sand
*corn on the cob
*swimming, smelling like chlorine
*cute hats
*a shower after the beach/pool and colourful cool pajamas for outside story-reading

have a happy week!

52Q - 27

Q - what have you found lately?

this morning on my studio floor, i found this scrap of sari border (actually it stuck itself to my foot which is how i discovered it!) - i remember exactly the place i bought it years ago in fremantle markets - i sewed a big piece onto my yoga mat (which i still have) to funk it up, and i also made myself a headband with the leftovers which i have photos of myself wearing on my first trip to thailand - before ivy was born! i don't know how this last little piece has stayed with me all this time but it definitely made me smile and i'm glad i could write the story of it in my 52Q!

what have you found or discovered lately? can't wait to hear all the different answers...!

52Q - 26

this week's question is from one of my favourite-ever-artists, sabrina ward harrison...a journalling prompt she uses and i often think about -

Q - on my walls i would write...

i look forward to the day when i have my own walls to dip a big brush into thick ink and scrawl inspiring words and dreams and other such pretties onto the colorful paint...i'm sure there will be little handprints too.

what would you write?

:)

Q - have you had a hug today?

i hope you have! ;)

52Q - 24

Q - name something you don't understand, but you want to...

if you are new to this blog or wondering what '52Q' is...it's a weekly journal prompt/group in a tiny format - on tags, playing cards, small bits of cardstock, in a small notebook etc. a question (Q!) to ask yourself and answer each week.

anyone is free to join in, and start in the middle, the beginning - pick and choose...it's really just a fun way to get little snippets of who you are right now recorded. you can read more about the challenge and the first question here. there is also a flickr pool - a gallery full of goodness from 52Q-ers, i love to look at all the yummies!

while there are some amazing pieces of art being created by the group - for me it is not so much about the actual art/making something cool looking, than it is a few minutes for myself each week to think and BE in my own...and stick a few fun things onto a tag then write my guts out on the back. i think as busy women/mummas it is SO important to make time for ourselves (sparse as it may be) to refuel and connect with ourselves...so we can keep going and giving all that we need to give to those around us!
