2011 Project 365

I ummed and aahed about doing this again in 2011, but the truth of the matter is that I have SUCH fun taking the photos, and deciding which should be 'the' pic of the day, that not to do it would cause me more angst than actually doing it!

So here we go again, my first captures for 2011:
 
 
 
 
And just for the fun of it, some of my recent captures whilst vacationing at Kei Mouth - enjoy!
 
 
 New Years Day breakfasts
 
 
 Lunch & Coffee at the local pizza park
 
 
 Lazy evenings at the river
Glorious glorious watermelon - food for the soul!

Goodbye 2010

Am so behind in my Proj 365, so I thought a fitting way to end this year, and this space, would be to post the last 3 weeks.

Thanks for looking and journeying through this year with me.
























 At times I was unsure that I would be able to complete this challenge, but I did.  I did miss a few days, but i reckon 360 out of 365 isn't too bad for my first time.  I loved having an *excuse* to take photos, loved capturing moments that I otherwise wouldn't have.

So bring on 2011 - and another year of beautiful captures.

Blog it Forward - Everything Inbetween

The 2nd of my 'Blog it Forward' group - Everything Inbetween.

I love this blog.  Hayley is just divine. As is her blog.  I cannot remember how I first found her, but i do know that she was one of the first blogs that I started reading - and well, 2 yrs later, still am - so she must be good? 

I love her honesty.  Her vivaciousness.  Her humour.  Her love of her family.  Her love of Christmas!  Her stunning photos.  Her love of food (Woolies Vegetable Crisps in particular) - and and and.  She is so bubbly and fun and absolutely gorgeous (to look at too!).

But I love that she is really just documenting her life.  It's her diary.  Her keepsake - but she shares it with us too.
Here is an 'interview' with Hayley:

Myself described in three words: 
Proudly South African Girl (Can we pretend the ‘South African’ is one word. Thanks.)

My blog described in three words:
My ordinary life.

I blog because:
I want to remember. Not just the important things, but the mundane everyday stuff. What started off as a way for family and friends to keep up with our lives, has now turned into a journal of sorts

If my life had a theme song, it would be:
Bloody hell Shayne...how am I meant to pick just one…that’s impossible. Will have to skip this question, else you will be posting this only next year.

If I were a super hero my power would be:
The ability to slow time down. Life seems to be whizzing by…and I just want to slow it down…

At this very moment I’m craving:
A holiday, any holiday…I am not taking leave this over Christmas this year…and now I am jealous.

Things making me smile at the moment:
Christmas…I am a mad freak about Christmas and everything that goes with it. The rain that is currently pouring down outside. Looking up from my desk and seeing the skyline of the Jozi CBD. I love my city. My husband…he always makes me smile (cheesy I know).

So, go, do yourself a favour and set aside some time to read her blog.

You won't regret it, I promise!
