In the search for my spark, my self-expression, my kick-start back to positivity, a day away from home was in order. Nothing fills me with ideas and inspiration more than a trip to the city and a day at the gallery.  I also have menu boards to design and paint for a new cafe and have no idea w...

Okay so my last post was a bit of a flaky update which we all need but I have stuff on my mind and as it's way past my bedtime and I'm feeling restless, what better place to offload than here right? It's nearly three weeks into 2009 and I'm feeling uneasy as I am UNPLANNED!!! Big dea...

I'm sick - blah.  No Mum has time to be sick, grrr.... Anyway I'm feeling quite miserable about it but as the day goes on I'm feeling better.  I'm taking pics of a gorgeous family this afternoon so I'm sure I'll forget about it by then.  Had a fab week reall...
