Great photos Veronica, I only got 18, which is actually more than I thought. I love the way Mosaic Maker puts them together, off to check that out
Posted by Rhianna (@aparentinglife) | 1 February 2012, 1:48 amThanks, Rhi. Getting to 18, if you don’t normally do such challenges is pretty good. Mosaic Maker was a recommendation to me. It’s great so I was really happy to recommend it on.
Posted by Mixed Gems | 10 February 2012, 4:33 pmno many pics in one
beautiful!
Posted by Tina´s PicStory | 1 February 2012, 4:16 amThanks, Tina. Mosaic Maker was a great find. Love all these in one collage shot too!
Posted by Mixed Gems | 10 February 2012, 4:34 pmSo great to see the month captured! Your expression in the last photo is priceless with your bub in the background!
Posted by Debbie @ Aspiring Mum | 1 February 2012, 6:43 amThanks, Debbie. I didn’t really pay attention to my expression as much as seeing bub with her arms raised up (maybe in victory?!). You’re right though, I was less than impressed. Nap struggles are about the only thing that will eat away at patience, which otherwise has improved with the arrival of the little ones. I guess I’ve a ways to go to be truly, fully patient!
Posted by Mixed Gems | 10 February 2012, 4:36 pmWhat a great way to remember the past month. Love the pics of the sleeping kids
Posted by Erin @ Lohtown Life | 1 February 2012, 7:02 amThanks, Erin. I love the collage idea too and was so pleased to find Mosaic Maker. It made it such a cinch!
Seems like the sleeping kids are the popular shot. I think all mums can unconsciously, subconsciously, feel the liberation, the tangible sigh of relief, of a few moments to ourselves when then are asleep. Them not being asleep when they should is the primary thing that eats away at my patience. (They are still little, I bet other things will challenge my patience in months and years to come!)
Posted by Mixed Gems | 10 February 2012, 4:38 pmLove your January collage Veronica

Posted by Grace | 1 February 2012, 9:11 amThanks, Grace. Yes, the last one and the two girls sleeping seem to have attracted the most comments. Mind you, they are both about getting the bubs to sleep! I think we all have great sympathy with each other for that difficult task!
Posted by Mixed Gems | 10 February 2012, 5:24 pmLove the collage!
almost forgot today was the start of a new month haha…

Posted by Mixed Gems | 10 February 2012, 5:40 pmLove the montage of photos, you are quite the photographer!
Posted by Bicultural Mama | 1 February 2012, 12:50 pmThanks, Maria. I love that I found Mosaic Maker to put them all together. Thanks for your kind comment too. I wonder if I can take it beyond just a hobby one day.
Posted by Mixed Gems | 10 February 2012, 5:42 pmVery interesting collage! A bit of everything.. lots of food
Posted by Tat | 1 February 2012, 1:26 pmThanks, Tat. Gotta follow the themes for the challenge which means it does end up a bit of a mish mash of topics. I enjoy it though.
Posted by Mixed Gems | 10 February 2012, 5:45 pmI’ve so been enjoying your photos. Can’t wait to see everyone’s Feb photos either
Posted by Ames | 1 February 2012, 1:34 pmThanks, Ames. Appreciate that. Feb is already sizing up to be huge. It’s great!
Posted by Mixed Gems | 10 February 2012, 5:50 pmMy fave is the one with your little girls sleeping. Such peaceful looking angels and all that hair!!
Posted by Kirri White | 1 February 2012, 1:55 pmThanks, Kirri. Lots of people like the sleeping girls. I think it’s because they appreciate the peace and quiet that comes with that moment. Ha Ha!
Posted by Mixed Gems | 10 February 2012, 5:56 pmWhat a fabulous mosaic of your life!! My fave is definitely the one of your girls sleeping – so sweet!
xx Sannah
Posted by sannah | 1 February 2012, 2:31 pmThanks, Sannah. Lots of people love the sleeping girl pic. Maybe it’s because it’s something we all yearn for our kids to do so we can have a little breather sometimes??
Posted by Mixed Gems | 10 February 2012, 8:21 pmLove it! These photo challenges are so great, aren’t they? It’s nice to put them all together and have a little bit of the month captured in this way. I am off to check out this mosaic maker as I had to photoshop mine, this might be easier.
Posted by Becky | 1 February 2012, 7:24 pmThanks, Becky. I am just a tad addicted to photo challenges. I started my blog with a challenge last June. I’m on my 8th one, I think! Hope you found Mosaic Maker easy and useful.
Posted by Mixed Gems | 10 February 2012, 8:22 pmThat’s a wonderful way to display them all, Veronica! What great images you have captured. So colourful and full of love!
Completely off the topic, Veronica, I have been trying to grab your button buy can’t seem to find your ‘code’ to copy and paste? Am I missing something? Cheers, D x
Posted by Bright & Precious | 1 February 2012, 9:18 pmThanks, Deb. I really like the inspiration I get from photo-challenges. I like the variety of topics and he challenge to try and do something a bit different.
As to my button, I can’t seem to get the coding to show up so I’ll email it to you.
Thanks for having me on your blogroll!
Posted by Mixed Gems | 10 February 2012, 8:50 pmWonderful collection of pics. So excited about #febphotoaday
Posted by Née | 1 February 2012, 9:19 pmThanks, Nee. Happy to see you on enjoying Instagram! Hope you’re enjoying the February challenge too.
