As in my scrapbook album Me - The Abridged Version which I started last September. Coincidentally the same time that I discovered Twilight, so it's no wonder I didn't get it finished within the month. It's been put to one side for a while, whilst I got on with other scrapbook projects; Yesterday Today album and my December Daily and... Read more →

It would appear that although I have been busy sorting and organising recently, cleaning has taken a bit of a back seat. Today it was time to address that issue especially as we were having friends over after school. A 'To Do' list was definitely required. I find I work much better when I have a list of tasks, and...

A little while ago Ali Edwards showed a beautiful layout on her blog featuring a full width photo, some twill and an embellishment cluster. I love the impact that a full width photo has on a layout and have made a couple before. As often happens with Ali's blog, I was inspired to go and create. I decided to use... Read more →

Don't know what's happening but my blog has for some reason decided that you can't post a comment, should you so wish. I'm waiting on Typepad to respond to me as to why this has occurred and naturally I'll keep you posted! Edited - not sure what's going on here. Team Typepad can comment ok, but when I try I...

As promised, this is my completed December Daily 2009. Whilst I don't want to bore you with lots of photos I feel that I missed telling you about the build up to our Christmas due to my lack of blogging. So please forgive me for indulging a little in Christmas past. The album measures 6 x 6 inches and is... Read more →

It features vintage toys moving around the room - so cool, I can't do it justice by explaining it here. My favourite song of right now just got even better. You can... Read more →

I'm thinking most of you will recognise that line from the film Dirty Dancing. It's one of my favourite films, so it should come as no surprise to you that under my current desire to get fit and lose weight I just had to get this in Morrisons today, especially when it was only £4. I've just learnt how to... Read more →

Today a new daily routine begins. Today Callum has gone to school full-time. Today I am without both boys until 3pm. (I should add that we are expecting snow later and looking at the state of the rest of the country I wouldn't be surprised if the snow closes school tomorrow and I'll be back to square one!). However, I... Read more →

... in hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there... and sure enough Santa did visit. But how did Santa do? Callum Well, the Lego Death Star kit is £270, so Santa gave Callum a Lego Star Wars magnet kit instead. It has Darth Vader, Obi Wan Kenobi and Chewbacca. Wii Lego Star Wars game - yes Blue Lightsaber -... Read more →

... you have something planned and then there's a spanner in the works. Callum was looking forward to making Christmas cookies at school on Friday morning. Matthew was looking forward to his friend Anna (he is very keen on her and she apparently has pretend sleepovers with Matthew!) is coming to play on Friday afternoon. The boys were looking forward...
