Under a near constant cover of cloud I sit and watch New Moon. Yes it's Friday 19th March and the New Moon DVD isn't even released until Monday 22nd March, but pre-ordering it from Amazon has resulted in the Royal Mail delivering it today, 3 days early - lucky, lucky Me! So all planned housework was postponed, I had a... Read more →

The idea for this page design was inspired by a layout by Elizabeth Kartchner seen in Creating Keepsakes magazine and on her blog. I really liked the idea of 5 slim spaces to put either photos or patterned paper. I had 5 photos that I wanted to use for Callums first day of school, so I left out the patterned... Read more →

Robot day has arrived and Matthew's C-3PO costume is finished. I managed to finish the costume before Matthew went to bed last night, but not an awful lot more has been achieved on my part. I had so many great plans for this week, like making Valentines Day cards and a mini-book for Jeff (well probably more for me!), getting... Read more →

This house has been Star Wars and robot mad recently. The boys can't get enough of Star Wars. When they're not at school they are either playing with the Lego, building spaceships and/or playing with the Star Wars mini-figures, or watching the films or playing Lego Star Wars on the Wii. Seriously they eat, drink and sleep Star Wars. It... Read more →
