Best Ever Feb 2022

The emerald and pear green of the Archiscraps challenge for Feb 2022 seemed to go really well with this photo of my Mum I took at Christmas. I've taken lots and lots of photos of mum over the years and she's never relaxed and always trying to hide something she doesn't like in that moment. But this photo is totally her and its amazing to me what a difference it makes when she is happy and relaxed for the camera! So its well and truly worthy of digi scrapbooking page all on its own!

Art and Me Oct 2021

Although the COVID crisis slowed me down somewhat in the artistic department I did manage to create some paintings I was happy with, and improve some older works. A great topic to scrap.

I guess I was the same as everyone else. Struggled a bit creatively during COVID lockdowns and uncertainty, more so because I live in the country and on a state border meaning that some lockdowns I was cut off from family and friends living just 5kms over the border that I would normally see weekly or often. But I was proud with myself that I added a new interest during COVID and it powered many of my new discoveries in 2019, 2020 and 2021 and kept me well and fit.

 It's always challenging to do a layout with no journaling. I was mega inspired by the challenge, but somehow the page didn't quite turn out how I wanted it. I took the selfie of myself in a mirror and flipped it back so the "canon" on the camera was not mirrored.

12 months of Nature Sept 2021

The best thing that happened for me during the many many lockdowns for COVID was branching out from just birdwatching to watching everything else as well - plants, insects, reptiles, mammals, etc. I joined a group online and took photos and put them up for ID. I got lots of exercise and learned heaps.
