Now I have received two awards one from Val and one from Leah! Thanks girls! The honest scrap award requires me to write 10 honest things about myself and tag some friends to play too. Okay, so let's start with the tagging, who is not on holidays and not already tagged: Jodie, Annika, Maria and Vale! (yes Valerie I want the french version oui!)
Okay..ten honest things about me:
1. well I am not dishonest....but do you think I can think of anything honest right now! Bwahaha! Telling the truth is big in my house "Mum will not be angry if you tell the truth". Katie uses this to her full advantage as you come upon another "Katie tornado" ... "I'm telling the truth Mum".
2. I know I am on the cusp of change in my life. Not sure how things will change but I know they will. Would not mind going back to teaching as I get all the holidays with my kids, but after nine years out of the system it scares the pants off me.
3. I love holidays and going away - Den does not. Eleven years on I am still working on that one.
4. I think I have come to the conclusion (said this to Den last night) I wanna be rich, not to get stuff but to just kick back and we could both be at home all day. We fill in our days so easily.
5. I am an organisational freak - everything has its place and time and is written down to prove it. Take my diary away from me and I would be a bubbling mess in the corner!
6. I constantly strive for equilibrium in my life - I think it will bring me peace but I always seem to be chasing it.
7. I am SO happy Den loves cooking - I hate it and meals would be very boring if I were in charge. Yesterday he made me pan fried chicken on a bed of lettuce, dribbled with something yummy mixed with cummin and paprika and sliced cucumber. I rest my case.
8. I am so happy to have rediscovered knitting once more. My Mum taught me years ago. This winter I was inspired again. YEY! I find it really relaxing but at the same time creative.
9. I have to take photos or else I get grumpy. Den knows this and tries to give me opportunities to do this.
10. I am becoming more reclusive as I get older. Trying to be a human "being" rather than a human "doing".
Now...be sure to drop into Oscraps - loads of freebies - lookey here!

As I settle into the cold depths of winter - bbrrrrr - I longingly look back to this day at the beach last January.

LOVE this template of Nina's - love how she challenges me to look outside my box and into circles this time ;)
This was so much fun. Great to do a page to document my Katie's rather unflattering nickname! LOL! Thanks to Lia for the inspiration from her LO hereCredits: ** all Nina Scraps Designs (Oscraps)template - unique the simple line no.11kit - joyful.days

I am right there with you about being scared of going back to teaching after being home so long. And I'm not even close to going back yet. Loved your 10 things and great pages!
Half way through the school year already?! Wow!! Enjoy your break with the kids!!!
I love that Den does the cooking, I don't mind cooking but at the age my kids are at they are so picky. I too am an organizational freak and I strive so hard as well to get that equilibrium!!!
Love your answers, Helen!! Have a super week. :)
