Yay - I made it! I rose to Mandrake's challenge of a blog a day for the month of September (see here).

The topics over September ranged from baking to making bombs, sewing to special memories, precious people and places, and lots of laughs.

It was fun, but also hard at times, especially when I got to the end of a long and full-on day, only to remember the commitment that I had made (I'm a sucker for dares).

I realised that so often we can go through our days and hardly ever think back to the special memories that were made, the things we achieved, or things that we can be thankful for... I liked the fact that writing a post a day made me take stock of my day, my life, my family, and all the other things that I need to be thankful for.

So in celebration of keeping the dare, here are a few of my favourite photos for a laugh.
