"Be open and non-judgemental - life's teachings often come to you in disguise"

I bought this wonderful little book of inspiration and it has some great "quotes" in it so I thought I would share.
and I've actually done some scrapping already!!! okay, okay, okay then if the truth be known then I did start them last year and it's taken till today to get a few spare minutes to finish them off!!!
I managed to complete 10 calendars as presents for teachers, preschool teachers, friends and family and this one is the one for me - it's supposed to be a reminder of all the very important dates I have - and January looks like it's pretty empty but in real life it's chock a block full of parties, BBQ's, outings and the usual school holiday activities.

And the LO is about my lovely little nephews absolute obsession about all things fishy - I think he even sleeps with a toy fish - LOL.

And I've been at the "dumb" things again. Today I dug out a very old tube of silicone glue (the metal tube ones) and was trying to squeeze out some glue - it was a little bit hard (well, OK, really hard), but I persisted and squeezed and squeezed and twisted and pushed until suddenly the glue came out THE WRONG END!!! I must have made a small hole at the other end of the tube with all my struggling and the glue burst out all over my T-shirt and all over the LO, the table and everywhere else!!! What a MESS!!! so trust me when I say if at first the glue doesn't come out then don't try and make it, it's bound to end in disaster - LOL.

I love the fish layout Jane. And 10 calendars - I take my hat off to you, I only completed one!

If it makes you feel any better, I can tell you that I tipped maple syrup all over the table when we were out for lunch today! Sophie told the waitress, "It wasn't me this time, although I am clumsy like my Mum". Ha, out of the mouths of babes.

Happy New Year!
