Week 13 - This Page!!
This project was more than just this one page.  I also set up the other new pages in both Creating Peaceful Thoughts and New Mum Over 40.  It's now an ongoing project to keep them updated.


Week 18 - Our commitment to weekly bushwalking

This week, we made a commitment to weekly bushwalking, whether a quick one at the local conservation park or a longer one traveling to another favourite or new spot!  An ongoing project and one I am so so so so so happy to be doing.  I come alive in the bush, I start to breath, I unwind, my soul is in its element.  It is where I belong!

And of course, along with the bushwalking comes our passion for photography!



Week 19 - Night Time Exposure Photography

A lovely special night away and taking photos from our hotel balcony overlooking the sea.  Exposure photography is new for me and I am enjoying learning about it.
 



Week 20 - Learning Access Database

This was, and still is, a huge project.  Learning how to use Access and designing my own database.
I just love databases and have two now - one for work as well.
It is great to be building a collection of my favourite recipes together in one place.

 

Week 21 - My new blog - Bushwalking Adventures! 

This was a big project starting a new blog about my bushwalking adventures.  A fun project using an activity I absolutely love in conjunction with my love of blogging!  It is wonderful to now be documenting all of our walks with photos, maps, descriptions, links and the story of the walk.

Here is the link.  Bushwalking Adventures.



Week 25 and 22 - Outdoor setting and Ribbons


A tired, old outdoor setting refreshed and revitalized!


Problem - A terrible clutter of ribbons all mixed up together in a large box.  
Solution - Ribbon boards painted to the matching colours of the ribbons.

Week 26 and 23 - Wardrobe and Building and staining a crate

No photos for the wardrobe - used a DIY kit to create shelving etc, added matching boxes, shoe rack, and did a lot of organsing and clutter clearing.


Building a crate from scratch and staining it to keep things tidy under a coffee table.  Click above for a full description and photos with the coffee table.
