Scrapping yesterday

Yesterday I went scrapping - haven't been for two months and yesterday I didn't have to consider anyone except myself! It was fantastic - for eight hours I didn't need to check on anyone, take anyone, show anyone, phone anyone - just look after me and do what I wanted to do. I didn't realise how much I had been giving everyone else until yesterday. And the world kept on turning (lol given that an idiot in the US was predicting the end of the world!)

This is from two fundraising events I was involved in for the Christchurch Earthquake appeal, Again, I have done more journalling on the back. Hopefully this will count for the ScrapBox c/s only competition .... although why I'm entering I don't know - they only choose "the best" and "the best" I am not; however, it's MY photos with MY stories that I'm telling

This photo is of Ross and Colin before we left SA taken at a play park of which I've forgotten the name.

Then the two annual "school photos and reports" l/o - the pockets came from Scrappin Patch and while I thought they were too brown, I'm not unhappy with them. The photos are blurred and I' ve tried to get rid of any names for privacy reasons

Today I have five loads of washing on the line (I hope the sun shines all day) and then I have to go and help my mom get sorted for a garage sale we're planning on having next week.

I am feeling happier and my husband wants us to do some counselling sessions through the Family Courts. Thank you to all of you who have written messages of love and hope here, sent me emails or messages on FB, sent me flowers, prayed for me and given me hope - I love all of you. Not sure what the outcome will be, but at least I can start thinking of a future now.
