Mini Mani: Clouds

Emily and I used Essie Bikini so Teeny and Konad Plate m79 for a cute cloudy nail stamping manicure.

Emily's was all done in 15 mins while Edward slept.

Mother’s Day 2011

I really enjoyed mothers day morning this year – a little different from last year when Phill was on sound at church and I had to get a little almost one year old ready by myself!

This year I had scrambled eggs and tomatoes made for me, but Phill and Emily’s plan for bringing me breakfast in bed was thwarted when I got up too early (well 7:15ish).

Emily absolutely loved the card Daddy bought for her to give to me, but had some trouble saying happy mothers day. It’s been a busy month for happy wishes:

• 7th April – Happy Birthday Mummy. Emily still often says that if she gives me something! Like the letters for eg!
• 24th April – Happy Easter Mummy (Daddy missed out on that one)
• 5th May – Happy Ann-versary Mummy (and this one too!)
• 8th May – Happy Bir- Mothers Day

Such a sweet little girl!

We managed to sit through church happily, though Emily insisted I stop singing! lol Harsh!

Emily ate lunch then had her sleep, then Phill headed off to his Aunt’s place to get some plants for our garden! Les was pulling out some Shasta daisies, agapanthas and gardenias, so we happily took them to plant by the side of our house. We are keeping all the plants together to make watering easier until we get the landscaping done. We were pushing it for time, but By 2:30 Phill and I were ready to go so we woke Emily, who ws still fast asleep!

Emily was excited to learn that it was finally time to go out and see the Okelys. Of course Grandma Okely was the guest of honour, but Emily was looking forward to seeing the other rellies too! We enjoyed high tea, had the best time chatting and my brothers took some gorgeous photos!

Just beautiful.

One Little Word April Self Portrait

So I tried a slightly more coppery based tone in my foils this time (and dyed the underneath), just to give me a little change, but without having to cut my slow growing hair much. Thanks Carlie for the great job you did - I love having my hair all done for my birthday!

Ali sends out monthly emails with a prompt for the month, and I’m working on my April one now. Did you know that the One Little Word class is still open? There are over 2000 people in the class and we’ve got heaps of good stuff going on in the forums! There’s even a specific forum for Growth related OLWs!

If you decide to register at Big Picture using my link and purchase Ali’s One Little Word class (or any of the others!), we'll both receive a code for 10% off** our next order. Of course you can always just sign up and select from one of the free classes.

I am blogging about my progress in the classes I’m working on over at Big Picture Classes – so stay tuned!

Are you working on any year long projects? Maybe this Paperclipping Roundtable Episode – Long Projects Chroncicled will give you some inspiration!
