Long time between posts!

The new colour palette for The Color Room has just gone live.


My page was motivated by a recent challenge over at Scrap the Boys. Although I failed to get my layout done in time for that challenge, I did get it done in time for this week's Color Room reveal!


Journaling: It's July 2010. You're four and three quarters. You're 109cm tall and you weigh 18kg. You go to kindy three sessions a week and love it. You go to childcare two days a week and do not love it. You love to climb, jump and balance. On the weekend you ride your bike up to the park with daddy and play on the play equipment. That is the high point of your week, although you tell me that it's hard work riding your bike all the way there and back. You love the Wii. You have a new game - Indiana Jones or, as you call him, "the man with the whip". You love the black jelly beans. You hate Jak on your bed. You love to do simple arithmetic. You can write your name. Your speech is vastly improved but you still say cute words like bekchast (breakfast), fimmished (finished), and bemember (remember). You love sausages and corn on the cob. You don't like potatoes. You're amazing. You are very very loved.

I have been a very absent blogger. Sorry. My excuse is that I was sick for most of July. It wasn't only blogging that suffered. I completely lost any motivation to scrap. And I am not even going to talk about the state of my house. I was just too exhausted to do much at all. I had many early nights, and many nights cuddled up on the couch watching television or reading a book.

The good news is that, apart from a rotten cough, I am much recovered and am hoping that August it going to be a much happier month! I hope to even get back to my exercise routine. I have turned into a couch potato. I really am hoping that the weather warms up soon! Bring on Spring....

Already saw this at TCR... it's just brilliant, Kathy! Love it so much, and I love how you do lots of journalling too. Love your style - it's instantly recognisable. U rock. Take care.

Brilliant and wonderful as usual. I too was just thinking how fabulous it is you do so much journaling (and handwriting at that!) on your pages.
Glad to hear you're recovering.

Ich finde dein Journaling immer ganz toll...Jamie mag also keine Kartoffeln...Mira liebt sie, schon immer. Du warst noch weiter krank? Wir haben hier Sommer und warm und trotzdem ist immer jemand krank in der Familie.
Ich wünsche dir, daß du jetzt gesund bleibst. Und der Rest der Familie auch.

What a stunning layout Kathie! You're such an inspiration. I love how you've recorded all the little things about Jamie's life at this age.
So sorry to hear that you weren't well.
Take care.
