Today Callum was playing with the playdough, as he does most days, I got the camera to take a picture so that I could do a scrapbook page on it. But as soon as he saw me sit down with the camera he was over. I still had the camera in my hand when he climbed up onto the sofa... Read more →
OK I know today is Saturday, but these are two layouts that I have just completed using photo's taken on two separate Sunday's. One last Sunday, 'one sunday...in february' and one from a Sunday in November 2005, 'me & my boy'. I bought some Making Memories white velvet alphabet stickers on my last trip to Hobbycraft and knew they would... Read more →
It's good to know that my children aren't the only ones to get carried away when playing, to ignore what I say and generally play up. It's also good to know that I am not the only Mummy who get's frustrated and cross with her children sometimes. Matthew had one of his friends over to play this morning and for... Read more →
I have completed my first scrapbook album, 30 layouts since I started back in September. Very proud of this album, so many little details about our life, so many that could have been forgotton. I love that this new hobby can let me put down in words and pictures the boys growing up, us growing up and moments in our... Read more →
By now you may has guessed that coffee is important to me. I may not always be able to drink a whole cup whilst it's still warm, but I will always love it. With two trips to Caffe Nero this week I thought it was about time I did a layout on coffee... I have another love other than coffee... Read more →

That's it, see you later and I promise no more valentine related blogs! (Oh and Janine this is not what I was referring to in my e-mail, that... Read more →
What a great day! Jeff had taken the day off and we had a lovely time together. I received not just one, but two beautiful bunches of flowers. We managed to have a romantic lunch together, just the two of us. Matthew had been dropped off at pre-school for 12:30pm and Callum had fallen asleep in car on the way... Read more →
It is nearly two years since we left Surrey and moved to Dorset, where has the time gone? It has also been nearly two years since I've had a night out with the girls in Surrey. No kids, no babies on the way, just us girls, some food and a fair amount of wine! So good to catch up with... Read more →
Had a great time last night seeing The Bluetones, we got right up front again and took some photo's. They did do 'Slight Return' and 'Bluetonic' alas no 'Carnt be Trusted', but Mark can still shimmy! In response to Janine's comment about my post Good Times, see below... "LOVE this layout Jo! So cool to see someone else do a... Read more →
Yesterday's good mood left me feeling inspired and creative, so whilst typepad was down last night I started my second layout of the day. Had some great photos of Callum and I playing a few weeks ago and they were just begging to be put onto a layout. I had also bought some paper over the internet that looked like... Read more →
