Yay! Come see our sparkly new blog and website....all about kid's rooms.

It's been my dream, for over a decade now, to create a small business around designing kid's rooms...and I've finally taken my first tentative steps on the path to achieving that dream.

It's been quite a challenge...I was a full-time police officer when the idea came to me...and, despite their protestations to the contrary, innovation and progression in any form is not supported.
I wanted to combine my idea with raising awareness over child abuse, having been a specialist investigator of such crimes for twelve years previously, but the police managers I encountered were not an imaginative group and couldn't see the potential...I'm reminded of the 'insanity' quote from Albert Einstein as I write...

But the dream didn't die there...in some respects it just grew bigger and stronger and clearer with each and every set-back...and there have been a few I'll admit.

But I didn't give up...chipping away, bit by bit until I'm here proudly letting you know about my beautiful, new website...and blog...

In the next few weeks I'll have to decide what I'm going to do with this blog...and wanted to let you know that I may have to let it go as I concentrate on the new one...is this the feeling mother get when their kids leave home for the first time, or am I just being a little over-dramatic...I think it might be the latter...

Here's the link you need to find the magical (hope you agree) world of Dreams and Wishes...

Here's one I made earlier...

My technical frailties mean I've not quite finished the latest moodboard...so, in true 'Blue Peter' style, here's one I made earlier...

Off to a good start in Get Organised Month.

I think I must have fallen into every trap of unsuccessful blogging in recent years...lack of technical knowledge, procrastination, content not good enough, content not consistent...you name it, I've done it! Not intentionally though, I hasten to add...!
But, still, it seems like a good idea to make a fresh start now, in Get Organised Month.

So, while I go off and sort out my blog-post calendar, I'll leave you with some easy ideas on how to organise some of those new Christmas toys...
