I have enjoyed a little hiatus from the norm, with my DH on long holidays for a change
which saw us getting out there and enjoying this beautiful state of ours!
But that big wheel keeps on turning and it's back to reality with school before you know it!
I have a little one making her way into the big world of kindy this year which is exciting
(and a bit sad for Mummy!)
I created this layout late last year. I kind of just happened one evening.
It was incredibly cathartic, just letting the pen take me wherever it wanted to go.
It's not 'traditional' by any sense but the freedom was wonderful!
Everything about this layout is for that beautiful boy of mine. I snapped the photo of him
without him knowing. Just shooting the breeze, without a care in the world.

This Amy Tan paper, with it's freehand swirls, got me started. The design grew organically
around the image, almost like his journey, blooming and growing.
One of Josh's favourite hobbies is to draw. I had the biggest smile when he saw this layout
as my homage to him! He went straight off to create a little masterpiece.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend... Thank you so much for stopping by!
