One Year ago: Celebrate Monday from Simple Scrapper

Celebrate Monday | Celebrate Memories | Simple Scrapper:

This week’s prompt:

one year ago

One year ago we were waiting for our siteworks to be completed on our new block. Phill got a new job in Perth, and we started to think about finishing our time in Kalgoorlie. Emily was learning new words and loving to pour water on herself in the pram whenever Mummy and friends went out walking! I was working for Edith Cowan Uni again. We led homegroup at our house and served in music and sound at church. I was loving the Kalgoorlie spring weather and Phill had the air conditioning on all night every night!

How much has changed in a year.

I extracted us slightly and blurred the background - if you want to know how - why not ask me a question.

Simplifying digi-scrapping

I enjoy the daily posts at Simple Scrapper, in my quest for simplifying life this year (my one little word is simplify).
I’ve been joining in Celebrate Monday for the last couple of weeks, it’s a fun way to start the week and maybe write out some journalling to go with a photo to scrap later.
I loved Jen’s series on 21 ways to tell your story. This post about layout inspiration is a great taste of her simple tip-style. Her simple tip topics cover:

• Community
• Organization
• Photography
• Productivity
• Storytelling
• Techniques
• Tools

Jen also has a fan page on Facebook where she asks for input on upcoming topics and ideas are welcome!
So if you are looking to fit more actual scrapping into your scrap time I recommend you check out Simple Scrapper!

Emily loves reading, and in this photo is looking at her book of rellies! Only a couple of weeks until we move and can see them all in person much more regularly.

Celebrate Monday

I’ve been making the most of our breadmaker, and I made a few rolls. With some spiced, crumbed chicken breast fillets, egg, cheese, pineapple and salad, Phill loved them! Emily even approved of the roll though she didn’t really eat much of the salad.

Our Esperance Weekend

Stu, Kelly, Justin, Melissa G, Meran, Ben and Becky, Phill and I set off in 3 cars from Kalgoorlie BP Truckstop at about 4:30 thanks to Stu's guineas pigs (you had to be there) and drove for 4 hours in the rain.

We stayed at Yot Spot apartments 3 and 4 on the Esplanade, which were really lovely apartments. After the early risers walked up to the jetty, we headed off to Cape Le Grand in the morning, and after climbing the rocks at Hellfire bay thankfully the sun came out and we were able to enjoy swimming (well Ben Phill and I) at Lucky Bay. We got home in time to see most of the Grand Final too. Games, a walk around town and more games, another trip to Hellfire bay for swimming (6 fish!) and another quick dip rounded off the weekend for us. We had dinner at Gibson Soak on Saturday night and celebrated Stu's impending birthday with a yummy cake. We all headed off to Kal on Monday morning.
