I started this layout on Tuesday and due to the circumstances mentioned in the post below I had been unable to complete it, until just now. A bit of a change for me to use black cardstock and really bright colours, but the patterned papers went with the colour in the photos so I just ran with it. The supplies... Read more →
Oh, what a week. Monday I had to get my car serviced so Jeff lent me his for the day so that I could take Matthew to pre-school and football. Tuesday Matthew had a session at his 1st School so my friend Jo came over to look after Callum. I also completed this layout about 'Us', a fairly rare family... Read more →
In Bournemouth there is a big balloon that can take you up in it's basket allowing you to see for miles, on a good day that is. Travis (the Scottish band) took a ride in it the day we saw them in concert, they also played crazy golf in the Winter Gardens - oh how I would have loved to... Read more →
Just LOVE the photo I took last Saturday of Jeff, Callum and I on the bench in the woods, so much so that I had to scrap it immediately. I also just love the French Twist paper by Autumn Leaves that I used in my previous layout and used some again in this one. This time I teamed it up... Read more →
It has been one of those hectic days and I am SO glad that the boys are asleep, the housework is done and I can sit down and relax with a cup of coffee. Can you believe I did 12 trips in the car today? Trip to Mums to drop off Callum. Return to Verwood with Matthew to his new... Read more →
"I've run out of puff!" is what Matthew says when he's been cycling and needs a rest, I guess it has a lot to do with his love of trains. Last weekend on our cycle ride to the nearby country park the bumpy track was too much for his little legs and wee bike. I think the good weather had... Read more →
Can't believe a week has passed since I last posted, here's the update. Last week saw Annie pulling my 'glad' layout out of the hat to win a 'glad' banner. Thanks Annie, can't wait to get it in the post! Talking about getting things in the post... I had been waiting to receive a parcel of happiness (scrap supplies from... Read more →
Took inspiration this week from the Pencil Lines layout for challenge number 35. I have been wanting to do a layout about the different names Matthew has been called over the 4 years of his life. Up until the age of 2 1/2 years Matthew called himself 'Babboo' and if we held him upside down he'd say 'De Di Down... Read more →
After our lovely meal out the other night I wanted to get a photo of the two of us. Jeff wasn't keen on this idea, but I persuaded him to let me take some photos and guess what, we had a laugh and got some great photos too. Take a look... Lately on Annie's blog she has been writing about... Read more →
