One Little Word Blog Hop | 2015

Welcome to the One Little Word Blog Hop!

Hope you have enjoyed seeing what everyone has been up to and
please link your blog at the bottom of the post so we can all visit you as well.

This is my second time doing Ali Edward's OLW course.

The first time my word was 'move' in 2011
and I only completed January's prompts and  then pretty much abandoned it all by March.

So this year I'm further ahead already :)

I've decided to keep my OLW in a Websters Pages Planner and
adapt the prompts so they fit in.  

I simply cut a few page protectors (left over from the first course) so they

fit into the planner and just used my old crop-o-dile to punch new holes. 

I copied someone's glitter pocket that I saw as part of the OLW facebook group. Sorry I can't seem to find whose it was now.

February Vision Board.
 I'm happy with the way it turned out :)  

I did it over two journal pages

I added a third title page so that there isn't a blank page between Jan and Feb

things I noticed :

1.  It felt good to be physically creative with paper and glue.  Its been a long while since that has happened for me.

2.  I bought a BHG magazine specifically because the front cover was my favourite colour and it had the word renew on it.  (renew was going to be my word before it changed)

It never ended up on my board.

3.  I noticed I found 3 of my past words and had included them naturally.

So I deliberately added to last 2 to make a complete set.

4.  I bought a Yoga magazine and didn't want to cut it up too much because it reminded me how much I like yoga and maybe I might want to get back into it.

5.  I cut out way more stuff than would fit.  But once I was done, I was done, and all the rest went into recycling without a second thought.

6.  I feel energized and wish there was a second February prompt :)

OLW February

I can't believe its the last day of February already, sometimes it feels like time moves so quickly and it is all a blur.   I'm guessing its an age thing :)

This month I feel I did better with my goal of finding time to move within my schedule, as opposed to making separate time to exercise.  I was much better at going for quick walks while waiting for the girls while they were in dance and gymnastics.  I have to admit that most of the time a trip to Starbucks was planned along the route.  In any case the nicer weather totally helps :) 

I also focused on moving towards my goal of taking care of my skin a bit better, and have been fairly regular with moisturizer, and I tried a new tinted moisturizer for the daytime, with that add a bit of mascara and lipstick and that has to be the most makeup I've worn in years!  

I am also happy to report that after close to four years I finally got my wedding rings resized so I can wear them again! Although this totally has Sara in awe with mommy's new shiny rings, and she wants to constantly trade her Dora and Hello Kitty rings for mine.  Right now she is wearing them to bed :)

The assignment for February was to take some pictures related to our word.  Once finished the pictures will be 3X2 and fit behind the word cards made for January.  I still need to take pics of the rings (see comment above), Starbucks (another trip is needed in order to take the pic (wink), and the moisturizer stuff.  But I love the pictures spelling our the word "move"
