It has been a very busy half term, what with my new job, Matthew starting a new football team (training on Saturdays and matches on Sundays), plus all the usual. My work involves lots of early mornings (not so nice) and lots of travelling. I get to see some beautiful villages and countryside on my travels and sometimes a chance... Read more →

This week has been lovely and warm, warm for March anyway. Inspired by the glorious spring weather I decided to document my wednesday. The next day I made a scrapbook page, decided on a simple grid design and stuck journaling strips straight onto the photos. Today... it felt like spring, 18 degrees C I got a lovely scrapbook order (lots... Read more →

BEING SNEAKY & BIG LETTER B - Jeff said some time ago that we needed more photos up around the house. After that an idea began to percolate in my head. I had a vision of something very cool, something that shows off lots of photos in a creative way. I also had a deadline because Jeff was going to... Read more →

It's all about Harry Potter in this house at the moment and well, I can't see that changing for a while. As I mentioned in my christmas post, Harry Potter has 'landed' in our house. The boys watched the first two movies before christmas and it's been growing from there. They got the Lego Hogwarts Castle and the Lego Quidditch... Read more →
