Tilly after winning a blue ribbon – a proud mummy moment
Melbourne writer and crafter of blog, Meet Me at Mike’s, Pip Lincolne was onto something a few years back when she first posted her Taking Stock list. Since then, various bloggers of good repute have joined the club with their own and having read Briar Stanley’s offering on Sunday Collector this week – thought I would follow suit. It was quite a difficult exercise – grounding, thought provoking and once you open up the brain channels, the ideas seem flow…a little bit lateral, a little bit fun and a good way of appreciating what it is that makes your life good!
