My months have been filled with inspiration

My little sister has taken the exciting leap to leave her job and plan a huge travel adventure

Her little happy face makes me so proud - I adore her - and her list of countries that she is going to visit is getting longer and looooonger !!!!!

We have many years between us and I have always had the official title of sistermum, and I forget sometimes that she is not my baby - ha ha - daft eh

I love the way that my little poppet has made me realise that there is a world out there to explore
and sometimes, work, that we should always be grateful for, can restict us from moving and seeing the world around us

She rocks my world !!!!!

My travels are going to start in the UK - yes go easy on me - ha ha

Even if it is a weekend away from my home, or simply chosing a different mode of transport, or walking around a new town
I am moving out of my comfort zone snuggled up in my home town,
and like a creative magpie, it excites me that home is special
yet it will be such a more fulfilled place if it has more inspiration and memories of travels held within it and the creative lady that resides there

I am surrounded my journals and sketch pads - it really helps to clear my mind and it is so exciting to see my ideas on paper

Stationery - Shoes ?

Stationery EVERY time !!!!! I will never tire of the buzz of opening a fresh journal and putting pen to paper

My Children's books ARE being written
although I am not pushing myself on this
my stumbling block was the illustration - I CAN draw - yet - I am WAY too fussy
so the words are going to take the steer and the format of my books - this is the bit I am so excited about
it is a VERY different slant - not to be different or clever - they are just the way that my precious Grandy used to tell me bedtime stories

I hope that in 2013 I can share these with you all

I am keeping life very simple and as with my books - pulling from memories from my childhood

Images like this - YES I HAD ONE !!!!! he he - did you ?
pull me back in an instant to years gone by when I was smaller and always such a content child thanks to my beautiful family unit

My home is far more relaxed
CLEAN - yes I will always be a little OCD
but I am happy now to introduce items that have age and character

I cannot belive that years ago I loved sleek, cold, hard lines and furniture with no soul

My sofa is starting to age - initially it made me go eeeeek - but the marks from cosy night watching films, chatting on the phone,
drink and eats and of course sitting as I am now with my laptop
are just the signs of good times and makes my sofa all the more comfy

I will never tire of real flowers and again I am happy to just pop them into a milk bottle

My secret desire of being a florist - now finds me - popping blooms into whatever feels right in a far less uniform fashion

Mr F is VERY good at buying flowers - not that I have given him the idea or anything - HONEST ;)

I am SO much more comfortable in my own skin - not that I have ever had a problem
yet I see happier times are making me move toward colour, accessories and feeling very girly

I am on the hunt for a wedding outfit this weekend which excites me so much

I am heading out with a blank canvas - and the rule is that I do not want things to be uniform, but simply to compliment
