One Photo and Twenty Words...

As today is the 9th it is time for One Photo & Twenty Words over at Abi's :)

I plan to link mine with my One Little Word - BALANCE - each month to help me keep focused & aid as a reminder.

New Year, New Start.

Trying to go in the right direction

to achieve a 

healthy mind and body 

for myself.

Need a challenge ?

Are you in need of a scrapbooking challenge this New Year ?

Hop on over to the Scrapology blog where the DT & I have been creating using a lovely sketch & the extra challenge of buttons/flair/badges - they are called different names depending where you are from :)

At Cape Point.

I loved the nautical colours present in this photo taken at the Cape of Africa last year & they were the driving force behind choosing the supplies I've used.

I made the little pennants from washi tape embellished with wood veneer.

Hope you like it. Hop on over for loads of fabulous inspiration & the January sketch to get you scrapping right away x.

My word for 2014

Firstly I would like to wish everyone a Very Happy New Year. Here's hoping 2014 is good to us all.

For the past few years I have resisted in setting resolutions for myself at this time of year as I found I set unreal, unachievable goals for myself, setting myself up to fail. So now I follow Ali Edwards example and find One Little Word to help guide me & keep me on track for the coming year.

After a lot of thought I've chosen...

 BALANCE

During this year I want to find the right balance for me between:

-eating / cooking & being fit & healthy.

-being inside & being outside.

-recording our memories & making our memories.

-being busy & taking time to relax.

-time with my family & friends & spending time alone.

-being a good person & not being taken for granted.

-feeling stressed/emotional & feeling    strong / in control.

The plan is to keep remembering this OLW & revisit this post periodically to help achieve the optimum balance in my life.
