Those of you who read Ali Edwards' blog will be aware that she is planning to do the Week in the Life project again next month. I took part in 2008 and plan to again this year. However, I hadn't actually finished my Week in the Life project from 2008. How could I possibly participate in this years project knowing... Read more →

The idea for this page design was inspired by a layout by Elizabeth Kartchner seen in Creating Keepsakes magazine and on her blog. I really liked the idea of 5 slim spaces to put either photos or patterned paper. I had 5 photos that I wanted to use for Callums first day of school, so I left out the patterned... Read more →

After making do with a re-purposed Baby Changing Unit for a few years and most recently the dining room table, I was finding it hard to be inspired with my scrap space. The baby changing unit was great for storing all my scrap products but the worktop was too high and just wasn't big enough to 'spread' myself out. So... Read more →

Robot day has arrived and Matthew's C-3PO costume is finished. I managed to finish the costume before Matthew went to bed last night, but not an awful lot more has been achieved on my part. I had so many great plans for this week, like making Valentines Day cards and a mini-book for Jeff (well probably more for me!), getting... Read more →

As in my scrapbook album Me - The Abridged Version which I started last September. Coincidentally the same time that I discovered Twilight, so it's no wonder I didn't get it finished within the month. It's been put to one side for a while, whilst I got on with other scrapbook projects; Yesterday Today album and my December Daily and... Read more →

A little while ago Ali Edwards showed a beautiful layout on her blog featuring a full width photo, some twill and an embellishment cluster. I love the impact that a full width photo has on a layout and have made a couple before. As often happens with Ali's blog, I was inspired to go and create. I decided to use... Read more →

As promised, this is my completed December Daily 2009. Whilst I don't want to bore you with lots of photos I feel that I missed telling you about the build up to our Christmas due to my lack of blogging. So please forgive me for indulging a little in Christmas past. The album measures 6 x 6 inches and is... Read more →

I'm thinking most of you will recognise that line from the film Dirty Dancing. It's one of my favourite films, so it should come as no surprise to you that under my current desire to get fit and lose weight I just had to get this in Morrisons today, especially when it was only £4. I've just learnt how to... Read more →

I've been meaning to blog before now but yet again I seem to have been so busy that I just haven't got around to it. Then today whilst I ate my lunch I read Ali Edwards blog, she had done this 'For Today' post. Well that was just what I needed to jump start a quick post. Outside my window...... Read more →

It's been a busy week what with getting back into the swing of school life, especially with Callum starting too. He got through his first week with no tears and each day when he came out he excitedly showed me the new book he'd chosen. I'm looking forward to next week when he will go in the mornings for 3...
