The Prompt
We were all encouraged to take action on our words this month.
I have absolutely taken lots of action on my Focus areas:
Eating more healthily (which was a priority last year too!)
Making my afternoon rest a priority
Involving Emily in my daily activities
Spending our evenings together
Getting my business commitments done this month to allow more time to prepare for Baby number two!
This month has involved a lot more teaching and online Scrapbooking classes than normal, so I know for the month ahead my focus will move more only our growing family especially as Phill has a trip away coming up.
I have loved looking back at my OLW album from April, especially my note to self if quite poignant one year on – so I can’t wait to get going on April’s prompt!

We were asked to take 9 photos over the month to document/express our word. Even though I’ve not taken a lot of photos this month, I managed to find 9 that represented what I’m focusing on right now. I just should have found a photo of Phill to include!
I am sure I’m missing a few focus points (eg faith and sewing) but I like this reminder of what my life is about right now!

PS. My Big News!
I'm so excited to share with you that I've been invited to teach at True Scrap 3! I'm the only Aussie instructor and I'd love to see some fellow Simple Aussie Girls there!
Did you start scrapbooking with dreams of rows of finished albums?s
Is the reality more like a cupboard of unfinished objects (UFOs)?
In Finish what you Start I help you learn how you can actually finish a project, and get the results you want by focussing on what motivates you in your scrapbooking.
Prevent writer's block by using journalling you have already
Finish pages faster by keeping your process simple
Rescue half-finished projects by repurposing or finishing them with rediscovered motivation.
Get a headstart on your own project using printable worksheets
Have fun and get the project done!
Join me for plenty of inspiration for your next project, or that little extra kick to get those UFOs done!
Join me for the most awesome scrapbooking event EVER!
I'm so thrilled to be teaching at True Scrap, and know it is well worth the $127 you pay to get in no matter what kind of memory keeper, scrapper, crafter or photographer you are!

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.

I’ve got quite a few pages to update you all since my last One Little Word post.
I mixed October and December’s posts in together to break up the text and photos and fit in my smaller format album.
I have a little video of my finished album here:
My One Little Word 2011 Album
Here's the slideshow of my One Little Word album in process over the year:
I’m easily distracted (Phill would say that’s an understatement) and with another addition to the family on the way in May, I feel like this an aspect of my life to work on.

Welcome to to my stop on the One Little Word blog hop for August. If you’ve come from Cheri's blog welcome! The full list of blogs is at the end of this post.
August’s prompt was to take a photo of yourself and add some affirming words. To simply take a breath.
I’ve taken an video of my book to date – it’s coming along well! You can see I used the picture above along with some patterned paper and affirming words.

July’s prompt was music. I’ve heard lots of children’s music this month. Of course Emily loves it, and I don’t mind singing along to Bullfrogs and Butterflies. I guess they fit well with my word also! Growing and changing!
I also bought God is able from iTunes, but haven’t made it past the first few songs yet!
For my album I chose to highlight one song – Doin it Doin it – Emily’s favourite.
Lyrics
There’s a bumble bee, a honey bee Gettin’ the honey for you and me
Doin’ it doin’ it – doin’ it doin’ it Buzzing around – helping the garden grow
There’s a little worm diggin’ around Eatin’ dirt from out of the ground
Doin’ it doin’ it – doin’ it doin’ it Little worm – helping the garden grow
Up in the sky there’s a yellow sun Shining down on everyone
Doin’ it doin’ it – doin’ it doin’ it Shine shine – making the garden grow
There’s a big fat cloud and a drop of rain It’s falling down on the window pane
Doin’ it doin’ it – doin’ it doin’ it Splish splosh – making the garden grow
Fly fly through the sky Little bird drops a seed The seed grows up into a tree A green umbrella for you and me
Croaky frogs, cats and dogs Creepy crawlies under a log
Doin’ it doin’ it – doin’ it doin’ it All over the world – making the garden grow Everybody – making the garden grow You and me – making the garden grow
I just did a little bit of trick embossing – used card embossing folder on my 5x7 page and then lining it up as best I could and repeating it at 90 degrees to the first one. That way I got 80% of the page overed. I cut and embossed a scrap and added some lyrics. A very simpel take on this month’s prompt.
