Your A Star

 Good morning how are you? We are on our final weekend before school goes back for term 4. This has been such a weird year, so many things turning 40, Covid, Covid and turning 40 .... realising that your not in control of anything really even though you feel you do. Homeschooling, isolating, social distancing, realising that you where always social distancing cause you life really hasnt changed... then feeling a little depressed that, thats the case and you have been training for this your whole adult life?

Another thing is realising that I have a nearly 18 year old and that he is graduating and finishing his school career !!!! WOW !!! Thats all I can say about that I think I might go back into his younger albums and get a little retrospective.... leave that with me I just had an idea!!!

So with that in mind I have two layouts from when he was my little man.....

 Good morning how are you? Today is a blogging day .... sometimes I enjoy this part and other times not so much. Your probably wondering why then do it? 

This is a big question.... it first started as a way to share my work and hopefully inspire those like minded people, a way to connect to and to be apart of something. 

Then it evolved towards design teams, a way to share new products and inspiration and to share how things are done, after all thats how we grow in our craft without it then we wouldn't evolve and have the amazing products that we do now compared to when I first started.

Now as that design team work has calmed down and I am not doing as much, I really had to think why blog? whats the point? sometimes you feel like your talking to yourself.... 

After some deliberation... the answer was simple.... this is my visual journal, it documents our life, my thoughts, ideas and its for my kids. If anything ever happens to my photo albums there is a online documentation of there lives.. not all would be lost And I suppose the bigger picture is when I have left this world there will be apart of me and my voice still here.

So hopefully I will get better a the blogging and voicing things, that is my aim, I can only try right?
