A layout

Later than I normally manage but here's my layout for this weeks AC blog challenge.The colours are a little off,I have a hard time photographing limey greens !

As I mentioned Monday,I've had these pictures printed and ready to use since last September,so glad I finally got round to scrapping them.Taken at our friends cottage last Labour day weekend,it was such a great weekend.


Supplies: American Crafts.....Paper,Christmas(bushels of fun),Spring&Summer(Teapot) and Backyard(Drip and Ribbit)....Thickers,Smoothie.....Rub-ons,Lauren......Journaling sticker and Chipboard stars.

Others:Cardstock....Bazzill and Making Memories letter stickers.

I think I have a severe case of rectangular right side-a-titus because my last 4 layouts have all been like this.......change is in order.

More pages.....

I thought I'd post a couple more pages,so here's my October and December photo a day layouts.I finished the October one a couple of weeks ago and I got around to doing the December one this weekend.

Originally I was going to make them along the lines of this one,that I did for my May 07 page but in the end I just wasn't feeling in the mood for double pages and I had more pictures than before and couldn't choose which one to highlight ! So I made one page layouts and just took the big square block element from my original page.

I wasn't bothered about the images being so small as I got all my photo's printed at 4x6 to put in their own normal photo album.As I was feeling lazy I basically just copied October's for December's,just centered it up.

I had one less photo for December so I used that for the date.

So my scrapbooking tally for January is 11 pages,consisting of 10 single pages and 1 double page. I didn't get around to completing any older photo layouts but that's OK I have one planned for this month.

Bad Blogger !

Nearly a week since I last posted.I haven't much to report either.The boys are finished from school so that means 2 weeks with no homework and no lunches to make !

I've done everything Christmas related apart from a few last minute fresh fruits and veggies and I can't believe Christmas is in 3 days,I'm not feeling very festive this year for some reason.

Yesterday was officially the first day of winter,really thought that started at the end of November with all the snow we've had so far ! Anyway another good dumping yesterday but luckily it was Sunday and no need to leave the house.I had time yesterday to make the 3 memorabilia frames for my wall in the kitchen,so hopefully if it's sunny tomorrow I will take photo's of the kitchen.

Still no scrapping for me,I did tidy up my space and put all the things back in their right places from all the cards and mini albums I made,so maybe now I will be able to create something.



I'm up to date here with my photo a day and above is a mosaic of the first 16 days,since I don't like to post without a photo.

Good intentions.....

....I had them I really did !

I fully intended to update before now but life got busy.

Friday I was not in the best of moods I was mad,upset and could totally understand why my son is so discouraged but after a glass of wine,lots of extremely loud music and a moan to a friend I'll leave it at some rules and regulations are just bloody stupid and some people are obviously set in there ways and there's nothing you can do about it.

The kitchen is almost there,really it is...................we tiled this weekend here's proof....




Well I tiled he cut tiles and took photo's,now I just need to grout and touch up the woodwork and voila.....done!

Since today is December the 1st it means I'm starting my photo a day again over here . I'm so mad with myself because the shot I wanted to take today I couldn't as I forgot to take my camera because I was not fully awake when we left the house at 6.20 this morning.......................Oh well,I'll find something else !

Oh and hopefully fingers crossed we passed our citizenship test today.It will be 8 to 10 weeks before we find out but I am 99.9% sure i answered everything right and the interview was good so just waiting for that piece of paper.
