So much lovely stash in my 2 peas delivery that it made it hard to know where to start and what to use! Plus my evenings have been somewhat devoted to producing a Kids Recipe Book for Matthew's pre-school. We've also had Jeff's parents to stay which has been really good, such a help with the boys! At the weekend... Read more →
... in a brown box from America! So exciting to return home to find a parcel propped against the front door. My tummy got butterflies with the feeling of happiness and excitement as I instantly knew it was my 2peas order! Couldn't resist photographing the evidence before I put it all away... Thank you to my sister Janet for giving... Read more →
Sunday night I was flicking through Ali Edward's first book and saw a layout that for some reason I hadn't noticed before. It was part of a two page spread, but it was just the thing for a quick one photo layout. After lunch on Mondays Matthew goes to Pre-school and Callum goes for a nap, usually. This precious time...

You know how it is, you start looking at all the scrapbooking products on-line and before you know it you've purchased something that you know you've just got to have. Yet you have no idea when you'll use it or how. Well I bought a pack of alphabet flashcards from 7gypsies through 2peas... I thought about using individual cards on... Read more →
Yesterday I was reading Ali Edward's blog, she had a photo of her son jumping on the bed. It reminded me of a photo I had taken of Matthew last summer and inspired me to scrapbook it (cardstock colour didn't come out well in the photo). Jumping on the bed is so much fun no matter how old you are,... Read more →

OK I know today is Saturday, but these are two layouts that I have just completed using photo's taken on two separate Sunday's. One last Sunday, 'one sunday...in february' and one from a Sunday in November 2005, 'me & my boy'. I bought some Making Memories white velvet alphabet stickers on my last trip to Hobbycraft and knew they would... Read more →
It's good to know that my children aren't the only ones to get carried away when playing, to ignore what I say and generally play up. It's also good to know that I am not the only Mummy who get's frustrated and cross with her children sometimes. Matthew had one of his friends over to play this morning and for... Read more →
I have completed my first scrapbook album, 30 layouts since I started back in September. Very proud of this album, so many little details about our life, so many that could have been forgotton. I love that this new hobby can let me put down in words and pictures the boys growing up, us growing up and moments in our... Read more →
By now you may has guessed that coffee is important to me. I may not always be able to drink a whole cup whilst it's still warm, but I will always love it. With two trips to Caffe Nero this week I thought it was about time I did a layout on coffee... I have another love other than coffee... Read more →
