Op Shopping


I confess... I am a wannabe op shopper. But I never seem to find anything. I am so envious of those who do, so every now and then I catch a bug and I just have to give it a go. Sophie from Her Library Adventures is also a workmate and friend of mine and constantly inspires me with her fabulous finds. I've been known to tease her for it (sorry soph) so I had to post what I found yesterday.
The story goes:
A local lady posted a picture on her FB page of a parlour set she had for sale... just $50 and still I was too tight to buy it The next day my sister comes over and she tells me about a parlour setting she bought the night before... yes, one in the same. Then she offers me the the 2 seater for nothing... now that is a great score!!!

Quotations

Hello - me again. You know, that wannabe blogger. I won't give up. I will keep appearing... sometimes more than others. Something on Pinterest just grabbed my attention. It summed up what I believe and I had to share it...

Mercy

This week at my school has been Mercy Week. It is a long tradition. Mercy is:
mer·cy (mûrs)
n. pl. mer·cies
1. Compassionate treatment, especially of those under one's power; clemency.
2. A disposition to be kind and forgiving: a heart full of mercy.
3. Something for which to be thankful; a blessing: It was a mercy that no one was hurt.
4. Alleviation of distress; relief: Taking in the refugees was an act of mercy.

Have you shown Mercy to someone who needs it this week?

speed bump

Wednesday as we know is hump day. Today I am visualizing it as my speed hump in my crawl towards those holidays. I have 6 classes to teach today, including my ever demanding year 12's. I teach drama and drama students are... well Dramatic. But they are inspiring even more so. I encourage them to dream, to believe they can have it all and I just saw this print on pinterest that I thought I would show them today to help them as they work on their major assessment for the year "The Solo"

Crawling towards the holidays...

In the school holidays I get to be everything I wish I was during term. I get to be the detailed housewife because I have time to clean up and bake etc. I get to be the attentive Mother because I get to sit with my children and do artwork or puzzles and the like at leisure. I get to design at will and fix my website and I HOPE these holidays, only 4 full school days away now, I get to be the blogger I want to be.

In the mean time here is my typography pinterest board!! Come follow me

BE REAL

Being real I know the following:
I am doing the best I can
I fail at blogging but want to keep trying
I am proud of myself at work


What do you know about yourself when you are real?
