One Little Word in Focus: OLW Blog Hop

Nihao, Cupcake! Blog

Template

Welcome to to my stop on the One Little Word blog hop for February. If you’ve come from Karen’s blog, welcome! The full list of blogs is at the end of this post.
 
After completing a hybrid album last year, I’ve decided to stick to my usual digital pages this year. I just love the slim finish of photobooks, so I’ll just print my book out as a soft cover photobook at the end of the year.
 
In the mean time I’m using this page as my January cover and photo of myself.
To keep it in plain view, I’ve also made this page my desktop background.

If you’d like to see how I created this layout check out my latest Digital Scrapbooking Workshop.

About the Class

“Sometimes my inspiration chamber is empty. I struggle to put together a layout, any layout and cannot manage it.

It is a great way to push myself to focus and enjoy scrapping again.” – Jana “The community is so supportive… I’ve ‘scrap-accomplished’ more in LOAD & YSM than in any of the other online classes attended. Perhaps I’m getting more savvy or, more likely, our fearless leader keeps it simple and real.” – Rita

Mozzies attack

On the 28th of November 2010, I started writing this post…

On the 21st of Januray 2011, I wish I had followed my own advice.

I was innocently waving goodbye to Phill’s brother at about 9pm last night, just 5 mosquito bites made me violently ill. Was the busy week, pregnancy and tiredness as factor? Perhaps?

Over the years I’ve found the insect repellents to make me itchy, ineffective and I come up with hives anyway. Then I found Bayer’s roll on repellent! Then they discontinued it!

Aerogard Odourless pump pack is my weapon on choice now. I can wear it happily for several hours.

Products

Tips and tricks

  • Don’t go outside after 4pm without bug spray on! (Especially near water, damp gardens or on humid nights)
  • Do allow yourself to be ‘rude’ and stay inside rather than wave goodbye (reminder to myself – I often forget this! No one really minds if you say goodbye at the door)
  • Do drink lots of water
  • Do take it slowly
  • Don’t let people convince you the mozzies aren’t all that bad!

I am thankful for my husband, mum and the locum Doctor who cared for me. I am thankful I didn’t end up in hospital.
