So the lucky winner is Vanessa of Green Ness. Congrats Vanessa. Please send me your address at libby@withnall.com and I’ll get the mag/book in the mail to you ASAP.
Emma of The Syders was kind enough to pass on a meme to share my favourite photo. What a hard thing to do. To make it a bit more challenging I decided to choose from the photos not shared on my blog (as far as I can recall). This was taken on our Mexico cruise back in 2007. I had started blogging but did not yet know how to add photos 
.
I’d to see what you all choose for your favourite photo so please play along and be sure to let me know if you do.
Well, when I set the goal of a blog post every day within a week I wasn’t sure how I was going to manage. However, now that we’re at the beginning of February I have a growing list of ideas. It really is amazing how the more I’ve had to challenge myself the easier the ideas seem to flow. Now, let’s see if I’m saying the same thing in a couple months time.
When I opened the mail today and recieved the two free back issues that came with my magazine subscription to Clean Food Organic my first thought was to do a blog post to make sure all my fellow Aussies know about this great magazine. It originally started out like more of a book (which was expensive) but is now a magazine ($8.95 per issue).
My second thought was I already have one of these back issues so therefore I can do a giveaway on the blog. Yay!!! So any of my Aussie readers who are interested in checking out the mag (book in this case) please leave a comment and I’ll do the draw on Friday.

Which means the winner is Jody!!!! Congrats! Please e-mail your address (to libby@withnall.com) and I will get it in the post ASAP.
Thanks so much for the wonderful comments on my last post. I already have a lot of family holiday traditions and think maybe I’m just putting unrealistic expectations on how I should be feeling – thinking I should be excited, whereas it’s probably fine to just be looking forward to the season. It’s very relaxed for us this year with not a lot going, which is a big change from previous years. So I’m just going to go with the flow and enjoy the time with family and friends, not keep on trying to find my Christmas spirit.
And what better a way to start than with a Christmas giveaway for Eric Dodges A Christmas Wish CD. It’s a lovely CD which I’m listening to right now.
I’ll do the draw on Friday. Please leave a comment – If you’d like you can share your favourite thing about Christmas. Everyone can enter the draw. Good luck!

I’ll be back with another giveaway very soon – I accidently ordered 2 Christmas CDs – Kevin now thinks I’m doing it on purpose so I can have giveways .
Well, it’s been about a while since my last giveaway – and I’ve done it again – this time ordering two of these beauties instead of one.
So one of you lucky readers has the chance to win a Crop-a-dile corner chomper. Unfortuately it’s a bit on the heavy side so this giveaway is only available to my fellow Aussies.
Please leave a comment if you’d like to win a new scrapbook/craft toy and I will draw a winner when I return from holidays on the 2nd December. Good luck!
Todays post is bought to you by the letter “P” or should that be “S” for Shimelle’s Blogging for Scrapbookers class.
Okay, yes I know parking is strange topic for a blog post, but I need to know I’m not alone in my parking habits.
Whenever I go to the local mall I always try and park in the same isle – the one in front the main entrance. I’m sure everyone thinks I do this because I’m lazy but I’m not. I don’t even care which end I park at. I do this so I don’t have to try to remember where I’ve parked the car! Yes, you all know I have a shocking memory so this takes away the worry of losing my car. If I have to park in a different isle I really have to make a note of where the car is so I can find it again. And I have to admit I have a similar strategy for nearly all big car parks – I always park in the same area . Does anyone else do this?
This is not to say I don’t get just a little bit excited when I get a rare spot by the door!!!! No where near enough to stop and take a photo! Well, I did but I was documenting a day in my life .
Here’s the layout – this one took like 10mins!
I find inspiration in a lot of different places – the web, blogs that I read, my fav. mags, nature, my kids, books, TV. They inspire me to live a better life, be a better Mum/Wife, get out there and chase my dreams, work towards my health and fitness goals, learn new skills, give ideas for blog posts and scrapbook layouts, the list goes on.
These days most of my inspiration comes from the blogs that I read – of which there are too many to mention. My favourites can be found in the side bar but today I wanted to share with you those you provide me with almost daily inspiration.
Attic 24 – Lucy not only inspired me to learn crocheting but to embrace colour and look a life I little differently. She also inspired me to start buying flowers for myself and spreading them around my home. Love this!
The Val Blog – Valerie – of the famous Red Carpet Ready program – inspires me to believe in myself and that making health & fitness a priority in my life is very important. She was also the inspiration behind my green smoothie addiction:-).
Down to Earth – provides inspiration in living a simple life. Rhonda has helped me realize how much I love being a Mum & Wife and running our home with love.
Creative Organising - Aby always has wonderful and inspiring ideas for organising in a stylish and crafty way.
Kath Eats Real Food – Love Kath’s approach to food. Everything is okay but moderation is key. She’s been a big role model for me this year and an inspiration to find a way to eat that is healthy and liveable.
Lavender House – A fairly new find for me but I’m just loving this blog. So full of life and inspiring photos.
Be sure to check them out for a dose of inspiration.
Today’s layout showcases the things that I’m lovin’ right now. These things bring me happiness and quite a few were inspired by the above blogs.
