My sister Janet and her new husband Richard were married in Breamore Church, at 11am on 23rd May (the same church that Jeff and I got married in way back in 2001). The sun shone and my boys (after much worrying on my part) did indeed wear their page boy outfits and behave well - phew! Look how cute they... Read more →
Wow, May this year has been super busy. Matthew celebrated his 6th Birthday, we had a sad unexpected trip back to Northern Ireland, I had two fairs, Jeff's parents came to visit and my sister got married. Also since I last posted, way back in April there was my sisters Hen Weekend and Matthew learnt to ride his bike without... Read more →
The recent Masters Golf on the TV and a two day golfing break for Jeff meant I had some guilt-free scrapping time! Firstly three layouts about my weekend spent with the girls Janine and Sheila. Ready for your close-up girls? You have been scalloped! I used a Heidi Swapp polka dot mask to paint pink dots on the white cardstock... Read more →
This years Easter Egg hunt took place in our garden with 17 clues leading to where treasure could be found. Matthew was great at reading the clues and then the race was on between him and Callum as to who could get to the treasure first. Each clue was inside a little plastic egg, along with 2 mini chocolate eggs... Read more →

As you can see photos were taken and Jeff was called up to take a look at our sleeping babes. We've been preparing for Easter by baking easter shaped cookies, thanks to... Read more →
A week and a half a go my two friends Sheila and Janine came over from Northern Ireland to spend a very short but fantastic weekend with me in England. Shortened even further by a 5 hour delay in Belfast Airport before they could even board the plane to Southampton. Still we managed to pack a load of things into... Read more →
Ahh Mothers Day; handmade cards, breakfast in bed, time at the beach, lunch out and flowers. OK so I didn't get any scrap time but at least I did get lots of great photos to scrap when I do get some time! The flowers above were the ones I gave to my Mum and below you can see the ones... Read more →
Wow, time just seems to be flying and what with half-term, making stuff for a craft fair and a boy off sick from school, my blogging has yet again been pushed to the end of the queue! The scrapbook layout above and below was made over a month ago and I didn't get round to posting it. It shows Matthew's... Read more →
I know...it's a shock isn't it? I'm back blogging and only 4 days have passed. I just wanted to share some photos from the weekend of costumes and haircuts. Matthew has a class assembly this coming Friday in which he is a policeman. We do not have a Police costume, so Saturday afternoon we went into nearby Ringwood to buy... Read more →
...let it snow, let it snow". One of my favourite Christmas songs and yet in England we have a near zero chance of ever getting snow at Christmas. However, February is not bad, closer to Christmas than last year's snow which we received in April! The photo above was taken after I had slipped unceremoniously down the bank. Thankfully I...
