Day 7 - we survived our first week...

Day 7 of 366

I distinctly remember when Anne and I reached our first week last year and to be honest I can't believe we are already through our first week here! So far a pretty awesome week... We have been watching the whole week, how people have jumped on-board this sweet little project... And I love that!

If I'm not mistaken we are up to 7 people doing #teabaggirls for #365faces and I thought I was going to quietly journey through this year with Jackie Cate I didn't realize we would have such awesome company! So excited!!!

Day 6 - It was a good day...

Day 6 of 366

Today was still full on, after work I finished my postal run... all my final packages went out.

And I actually received two packages myself, one locally and one from Australia.

I was blown away about that and of course their contents.  Will share more on my normal blog.

Plus my long time dearest friend was in town and we got to hang together as a families.  I miss her terribly so it was such a treat of an evening.

It was a good day!

Day 5 - hi ho hi ho, it's off to work we go...

Day 5 of 366

Yup, I went back to the office today.  And it was not easy.

Half way through I almost fell right to sleep.  And getting my brain back into gear....

No easy feat.  But I survived.  On my way home, I popped into my Printers.

And I spent the better part of the afternoon there ordering my new business cards and mini prints.

It was really such a joy seeing each piece come up and being reminded of the story of behind them.

Sharing some of that out loud, felt so deeply personal and so special.

It's wonderful working with people who just get it.

Feel so honoured to have experienced that.

Mini Canvases... what fun!

I prepared some Teabags ready for me as my supply from last year was actually finished.

Just in case you are wondering what I do...

* Brew my tea in boiling water.

* Squeeze out the water and place on a surface to dry.

* Once dry, slit open the back and empty out the tealeaves.

* Gesso the front of the TeaBag and leave to dry.

* Stack and now you have mini canvases ready and waiting.

Have fun!

Day 4 - Life as we know it....

Day 4 of 366

Oh I'm loving these darker shadows and colors very much.

I had a uber busy today being back home, unpacking.  Mountains of washing.

Packaging up parcels and some work.  I also did the girls stationery shopping for the new school year.  And just like that life is back on.  I'm not complaining.

Cos I am a home body and I love being home.

Happy girl!

Day 3 - heading home...

Day 3 of 366

It was a very early start to get this one out because we will be road-tripping for the better part of today!  Bye-bye Beautiful Butterfly, til we meet again! 

I will never forget our time! 

Day 2 - packing up...

Day 2 of 366

I had to squeeze this one in, in amongst packing up my make-shift studio and our bags.  As well as trying to max out our last precious day here! I loved our time away... But I am also ready to get home.  I have lots to sort out for 2016 and that's always exciting!

We are leaving well rested and full of anticipation for the year ahead.
