So I struggled with the theme to think what I would put together about Winter and then thought that there are some things that I do love about winter and some that I don't, I will get to the don't later.
Recently after completing one of my workshops in Queenstown I was lucky enough to be there when they had a rare sunny day in Winter, which made me think that I do love a winters day where the sun is shining and you can take the kids to the park where they can run to their hearts content, without having to worry about how long ago it was that you applied the sun cream. And you get some really great pics being able to chase them around with the camera without the heat exhaustion.
Soooo..... I thought I would share with you some of the pics that I took on the day that have recently feature on my latest layouts.
I have realise that I do like some parts of winter but find it challenging on the gloomy days to find positives, how does winter affect your moods? I find that the weather really does influence the way I feel a lot of the time and to be honest I can't wait for Winter to be over, Longer Day whoo!!!! bring them on!!! Being able to get home, walk the dogs, watch the kids in the pool while cooking the BBQ now that's what I am talking about!!
But on the upside to Winter there is more time to scrapbook, and I do love doing the workshops at the moment, great fun when it's not nice outside to be playing with scissors and paper inside,with like minded peeps. Here a pic at one of the latest workshops with the girls all busy.

DeleteWinter is my favourite time to scrap thats for sure. I tend to spend more time on the computor looking at everyone gorgeous work, and this year for the first time, I have started to join in on Blog hops. Loving all the stunning work I see, and your 2 LO's here are really gorgeous, those pink spotches on the kraft really caught my eye. Another blog to frequently visit for sure.

Great layouts,and photo's. xxx
ReplyDeleteI'm not a big fan of winter either. I don't mind it if I have a roaring fire going (which we don't have) and don't have to be out in it, but with two preschooles who love to be outside winter tends to drive us all a bit nutty!
ReplyDeleteLove the wood fire roaring, but..... could do without the mess he he
DeleteYour pages are beautiful! I'm with Natalie the pink spotches are great... especially with the beautiful big flower. And what great action shots too!
ReplyDeleteI must admit that after you've had a week or so of gloomy wintry weather a sunshiney day does wonders for how I feel. It makes you want to do stuff, get outside, enjoy the sun.
ReplyDeleteLoving your beautiful layouts. The colours are gorgeous!!
Not a huge fan of winter either. But then, I don't like a hot summer either! LOL ... I'm a little difficult to please :-) ... but, love your pages!
ReplyDeleteWinter IS hard...& I live in NSW, not TASSY!!!!! Love your photos, especially of the scrap happy girls....at least it is good for getting creative, you're right about that!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHave to say I don't do 'Winter' either ... much prefer a little heat ... but I guess it gives one the excuse to spend a little more time inside being creative.
