Taking Stock




So I've been a little secret squirrel lately, yes I have.  




I've been doing the Blog With Pip eCourse.  It's been totally awesome, but it's not over yet.  So I'm not going to bang on about it too much right now. I am just going to share with you a little homework assignment that Pip gave us this week.


It's called Taking Stock.  You may have seen it before.  I have, but I've never done it myself.  So, this being a week of firsts for me here goes.


(I look forward to reading yours soon too!)

    1. Hello There Karen!

      Etsy and crochet are new to me. But dark chocolate is a very old friend.

  4. OH my goodness. I love this post! I haven't done the stocktake yet. 'Fraid I might find some ole boxes in the storeroom out the back with some questionable contents! Aaaaand then I'll feel obliged to be authentically bloggish about them. Ai ai ai! Thanks for sharing, it's so nice to get an inside view of that beautiful brain!
    And thank you super much for the mention!

  6. It's never wrong to eat dark chocolate! I love an almond combo. Sometimes life gets so hectic it's hard to just sit down and play a game with the kids and then you feel so guilty even though you do it most of the time. Oh and lets not talk about the budget, it's taken me a week to get over it! Blogging with Pip is awesome fun!
