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 →
... Jeff and I met for the very first time. This is a photo from 1999 Jeff was studying to be an Air Traffic Controller in Bournemouth and I lived here with my family. I went over to a friends house that day nine years ago. My friend was on the same course as Jeff and Jeff was at his... Read more →
As I said in my last post I really meant to try to keep up with the scrapbooking challenges that Ali Edwards set since she started the AEzine up again in May. Had completely failed to do any, until yesterday. I decided to have a 'go' at the One Little Word challenge set a couple of weeks ago. It had... Read more →
Went to see Travis last night with Jeff in Bournemouth and they ROCKED! They entered to the theme from Rocky and Fran made his way through the crowd up to the stage just like in the film, very cool and unexpected! They played quite a few songs from their new album 'The Boy With No Name' and several of their... Read more →
I was intending to keep up with the challenges that Ali Edwards posted this year in her AEzine, but haven't yet completed one. However, I did go around our house at the weekend and photograph beautiful things for one of her Everyday Beauty challenges and one of the photos was of bunting that was up for Matthew's birthday. I made... Read more →
Here it is, my layout scraplifted from Jamie Waters 'now' page which I saw on 2peas yesterday. When I was looking through my stickers I found that I had the same 7gypsies stickers that Jamie had used, well of course I just had to use them! And my felted bag... Had some wool left over so I knitted a teeny... Read more →
I love my boys, but man sometimes they drive me mad! So I am upstairs out of the way, on the computer listening to Jack Johnson and Jeff is in charge downstairs. Jack Johnson is my ultimate de-stress music, love him and don't listen to him as much as I need to, would probably help me shout less and cope... Read more →
Can't believe it is Tuesday already, the last week has flown by - been so busy with party planning and executing (the plans that is), etc, etc. So my little boy Matthew is a little bit bigger and a whole year older; 4 to be precise, wow where has the time gone? After two weeks of beautiful sunny weather the... Read more →
PJ kindly tagged me on Monday, thank you! Here's my answers to the tag questions which I wrote out yesterday but have only had the chance to post today. Two names you go by: Mummy (literally said hundreds of times a day from 2 little boys) Jo (heard very infrequently these days) Two things you have in a relationship: Love... Read more →
