Mama OWL Blog: Project 365 / W1

Saturday, 3 January 2015

As promised, here is my very first #Project365 post with our first three photos of the year. I'll also be posting them on Instagram and you can follow my hashtag #Shep365 if you would like to view my progress day by day. The 365 linky at TBaM goes live tomorrow, so be sure to link up your post via the badge if you're taking part.

001 - On New Year's Day we went to my parents house for lunch and I got to wear the beautiful necklace and earring set that the children (and of course the Mister) bought me for Christmas. It's absolutely stunning and I was delighted to be have the chance to wear it out and show it off, I love it - especially as I wasn't even expecting any gifts.

002 - The weather has been a bit on the rubbish side (you may have noticed this yourself of course) so we have been in hibernation. E took the opportunity to get creative and she drew me this picture which says 'Mum heart Erica', and 'I heart Mum' which I thought was very sweet. She also added an evil flower (what else?) and some little old ladies, that I have been assured are not portraits of me.

003 - The weather is still rubbish, so my niece F came to visit and play with E (read: keep E occupied so I can get some things done) and they had a great time making chocolate bark with some leftover Christmas goodies from the snack cupboard as well as drawing & colouring, and acting out Disney's Frozen from start to finish. They're both almost word perfect for the dialogue as well as the songs. They may have watched the movie just a few times...
