Getting organized for the new year. 
Do you like my very original way of keeping my little collection of Washi tape?
A stick I picked up at the park, some ribbon looped and tacked behind the
bookshelf and then feed the stick through.  I know, you didn't realize I was this clever!!
Have a happy Sunday.  See you tomorrow!

Easing into 2014

It's been a slow blurry start to the new year. 

My precious Dad passed away just before Christmas.  Oh, the pain of the loss.  You will only be familiar with it if you have been there yourself.  So now the gentle task of learning to live without a parent who I held on the highest pedestal, whose love and support kept me going when I didn't think I could go anymore; whose intelligence and wisdom was sought and respected; whose love for his family was endless; whose courage and determination was inspiring.

2013 was a heck of a year for me, dealing with a job redundancy, building up my own small business, making the most of the time I had left with Dad, the emotional ups and downs would make you sea-sick!  However, I have come out the other end, stronger, braver and more determined.

To help me focus on some happy stuff, I have decided to join in the 365 photo project for myself, following my love of following Catherine's Blog at atimetocreate.blogspot.com .  I may not post a photo a day, but I am determined to take a photo a day.  It's so easy, I just need to commit to it! 

Since I am starting a little late, I will play a little bit of catchup over the next few days.

I would love you to stop by long enough to leave me a comment.  

So, here we go....  1st - 5th January....


Kicking off 2014 with my very special Kikki K diary!
Sunset 1
I call this Sunset 1 because it's the first of many sunset pics
I expect to include this year.
What a view!
From my sister-in law and her husband.  Love them to bits!
One of my paper flower garlands in my window.



See you tomorrow with more lovely photos that I have snapped so far this year.

45/52



 
 
 
 
 
We have had the great pleasure of working with a very talented young professional photographer, Ash Altmann Photography.  Here is a few special shots taken of our family shoot last weekend.  So technically these are from 44/52!!!
 
We coaxed my beautiful Stella to take the pony tail out of her hair to reveal her true beauty.  Cooper, my shy boy, looking handsome.  and, Dusty stealing the limelight in this last pic.  Cheeky little miss that she is.
 
We are crossing our fingers that everyone will get the much needed rain this week.  Our watertank that we use for gardens and car washing has been empty for a few weeks now.
 
I do hope you have a super week ahead, and I will try and become a regular face again!
