I can't believe it has been a whole year since this event was held, where did the time go? It was great to be involved last time so I am putting my hand up again. I have no idea what I am going to choose as a prize or prizes but I will have something organised by the start date of January 25th. It will be running till February 15th so plenty of time to check out all the blogs that are sure to involved. I have no doubt that Lisa will get well over 1000 participants this time round. There were 911 last year.
Just click on the OWOH logo on the right to take you to Lisa Swifkas' website so you can check out all the details for yourself. I encourage everyone to get involved. It is great to be part of something that gives just a little bit back to not only the art community but the blogging world as well. It is also nice to get such lovely comments to read.
So the deal is once the event starts leave a comment on my blog on the post for the start of the event (Jan 25th) if you would like to be in the runnung for the prize/s. It is an international event so anyone is welcome to leave (nice!) comments. You will need to make sure that I can contact you so I am guessing that anonymous comments won't cut. If you are involved with OWOH as well please feel welcome to leave your link in the comment too.
Now for some pix. Today is my babys' 15th birthday, well one of my babies anyway, the oldest one. I know that 13 or 16 is usually considered more momentous but for some reason 15 freaks me out! She really isn't my little girl anymore (I know she has known this for a while but I am bit slower to catch on). You wouldn't know it from the photos though. Taken by a friend at Champion Lakes, a local swimming hole which doubles as a world class rowing venue. Far too hot a day for me to be venturing out but I am glad Chris (DH) took the 4 kids down to get thoroughly soaked.
I would put up some photos of Jess as a baby but I am afraid that was
pre-digital and I don't use that scanner often enough that I understand
the darn thing without Chris' instructions. Jess looks (and acts which is the scary thing) more like me everyday, in fact we were in our local Woolworths the other day and the lady behind the deli counter
asked if anyone had ever commented on how much alike we
looked. I had to answer that she wasn't actually my birth child that we had her cloned!
I am determined to be a bit more blog active this year. No more neglecting my poor blog for 6 months at a time. As a result of having to post more often I am hoping I will be more productive on the art side of things too. Noah is starting full time Pre-Primary this year so I will have more time without the little voice in my head. I have already re-signed to the Scrap It Flaunt It Design Team (just about finished the first part of the project) and have been asked to do a class in mid February. I have another couple of projects in the offing but they haven't been finalised yet, I am really looking forward to them though and am itching to get started. I also want to make better use of the time I have. More 'from scratch' cooking, keeping the house more organised, clean and tidy, getting rid of the junk we have, taking the dogs for a walk more often and not wasting so much time on the puter doing nothing. Getting my Senior First Aid Certificate is also a must do for this year. We are still looking for a house and I know God will provide one just right for us in His own time but in the mean time I am going to LIVE my life instead of just living.
So, starting as I mean to go on, Jess has requested home made fried rice for her birthday dinner. I haven't made this dish for a few years and never with much success but if that is what my girl wants ... I remember when I was a teenager and still living at home that my Mum made the best spring rolls so I am going to have a go at them too. Just in case it is all a flop there is always the local Chinese restaurant as backup!
Ok, so I didn't intend for this to be such a long post but it is at an end. I will leave you with this Bible verse which means alot to me. Our Pastor was preaching on this verse the day I got Saved 3 years ago.
Matthew 7:21 KJV
Hugs and kisses,
Ky
