Our Wonderful Digital Artist

Copyright Clickcritters.com 2012

One thing I've always tried to teach my children is that, despite any difficulties or your own limitations, you can do whatever you want to do, and be whoever you want to be.

Our Adnil Press business is one example of this - despite the fact that we live in a very rural location and have limited resources, over the course of the past twelve years, we have worked to build up our business, and in doing so, have secured several international printing contracts, including of course, our exclusive Australian contract with IEW.

Well, it seems all that encouragement is paying off. Our darling 15 year old dd is now our one and only 'working' child.  She has a passion for digital art, and has impressed one business so much that they are now buying her art for their online site!  This week, she received her first payment, and has stepped into the world of professional digital artists.

I also received a lovely email from the owners, who praised our girl for her talents, and indicated that they are very much looking forward to working with her.  Usually, they only purchase art from experienced artists who are at least 18 years of age, but her work impressed them so much, that they wanted her to begin with them straight away.

Congratulations, sweetheart - we hope it will be the beginning of a wonderful career!

A New Banner

We are home after a very eventful and exciting week at homeschool camp (blog posts and pictures to come soon).

After a very late night (some going without sleep at all), we lined up for some photos, and I now have an excellent new photo to use as a Banner:

Loving our new family shot - well, family - minus one, plus one!  :)

Treasured Moments

Do you find yourself falling into a pattern of daily grind, skipping the 'fun' activities because you don't have time or lack energy?
Do creative arts, nature walks, drama, read alouds or spontaneous acts seem only a distant dream in your life?

Yet these Treasured Moments shared with loved ones uplift us, nurture our soul, remind us of the beauty and joy in our lives.

We want Treasured Moments for ourselves, for our children, for our families but how can we make it happen?

... Commitment ... Encouragement ... Support ... Ideas ... Plans.

I invite you to join us every Saturday and share your plans and ideas, your targets and goals and your stories ... your 'Treasured Moments'. In this way we may inspire one another, encourage ourselves and start achieving our dreams.

Our holidays, including a homeschool camp, and time with our friends, Lynn B and Erin at Seven Little Australians - we've returned home refreshed, encouraged and full of enthusiasm - thankyou so much!

Discovering All About Spelling - it's been some time since I've found myself excited by a new curriculum - I think this one will suit our needs very well.

Finally, my son has been 'cleared' to apply for a driver's licence. It's been several years since he last had an episode, and having spent the past year medication-free, he is now no longer classed as epileptic.

Our new car. Dear hubby purchased a little Ford Fiesta on Sunday at the local auction. It is the one Daniel will use once he has his learner's.

5.
All my children are at home! This week, we have Jessica and Rebekah home for a visit, so all our children are under one roof once again. It certainly becomes more difficult as they are growing older!

6.
Our local show is on Monday! We have 126 entries in the art, craft and cooking section, and we will be performing with our concert band.

7.
We begin term 4 this week - probably Wednesday.
