Along time ago (way back in November) when life was a bit crazy on the crafting side and quiet on the blog side, my fellow blogging friend PJ tagged me via her blog. I have to tell you 7 random things about me and tag 7 blogging friends, or as many as I know. I decided to incorporate my list... Read more →
Shock news I know, my apologies for being absent without leave. At least I can use that title, I've been wanting to use that for a while now! So what on earth have I been doing this past month and a bit? Well, we've celebrated Christmas, my 34th Birthday, been looking at wedding dresses (for my sister) and I've been... Read more →
Wow, we're a week into December already and Christmas day seems just around the corner. The house is decorated, the tree is up and the boys and I have been watching Christmas movies. So a week in and 7 little advent stockings have been emptied and their contents eaten. We've watched The Santa Clause and Santa Clause 2. Callum has... Read more →
No I haven't decorated the house for Christmas already - keep reading! I've been a busy bee crafting away for the busiest time of the year. Want to see what I've been making? I did a little photoshoot on Sunday in the hope that I may actually get my website shop up and running - as yet it still isn't.... Read more →
It's been a little while since I updated my blog, encountered problems posting with Typepad.

The other day I was having major problems trying to re-size a photo so that I could upload it to the Design Your Life gallery - thank you Janine for helping me at such a late hour! Anyway,...

My 'week in the life' has come to an end, so my camera's (I used two; my Canon SLR and a compact Panasonic) will be wondering what has happened as they get a wee bit of a break. The family will be glad not to having photo's taken of them at any given opportunity too! So here's some of the... Read more →
This week I am joining in with Ali Edward's, scrapbooking genius (yes, I wish she was my friend) to document a week in my life. This basically means taking a load of photos of everyday events, things, routines etc and journaling what happens each day. It will be a great way to look back in years to come and see... Read more →
Well yesterdays post certainly seemed to bring a smile to your faces, so glad for that. Those photos from yesterday were certainly destined to be a scrapbook page. With an hour to spare before I had to go and get Matthew from school, Callum was playing upstairs with the Thomas wooden train track in the same room as my scrap... Read more →
Always good to start a new week with some happiness, unfortunately it was somewhat lacking this morning with our boys. The school photographer is at Matthew's school today and we had the chance to have 'siblings' photos early this morning. We had them dressed in their uniforms, Matthew even had a nice new jumper bought especially for the photos (his... Read more →
