2 DAYS INTO 2011

As much as I have tried to put on a brave face I haven't been coping very well this past week with Osky's death unfortunately its really been stressing me out but I'm a firm believer that he visited me in my dreams friday night to let me know he is happy and in a magical place well at least it feels that way especially after dreaming we were playing together like we used to do.


Anyways Osky came home on Wednesday...its weird how even though he is in a pretty little wooden box sitting on the credenza, just having him home has calmed me. I feel like I can move to the next level of grief and that is to celebrate what a perfect little furry friend he was and try not to feel so devastated by it all. Here's another page I did of Mister called 'Angel Dog' which I think will be the last grief stricken one I'll do of him, time to do fun loving pages that really reflect his personality from now.
I have also been working on some other pages these past couple of days, its been so nice to freely scrap away my time in between hanging the washing out and sweeping the floors...this whole maternity leave thing is fantastic and in keeping with that here is a Layout all about my fruit fixation these past eight months tee hee!






This one was a page I started at the Scrapboutique retreat in November, but that I had forgotten all about until the other day. Miss Teleah looks so cute with all her friends organised on the trampoline, I just had to scrap it, how cute is she?

Then last but not least I have been secretly admiring for some time the fun colour palette challenges at The Color Room Challenge site but havent been afforded the time to participate because of other DT commitments and work...but with not having to get up early, pop the D.J's face on and go to work I have finally joined the forum and played in the #39 challenge, here's the colour palette and below that is my take on it...
