PL - Catch up.

I've been playing catch up with this project for a while now & I'm trying to not let this faze me but to work at my own pace catching up when I can. Over Christmas we got the 2013 albums out & had a lovely look through with the children, reminding me why I do this :)  So here is October '13.

Our son was 16, a scrapping retreat with friends, rugby win...

A trip to the theatre in Manchester for a friends birthday, coffee morning, dinner with old friends, Uni antics...

Queens Scout Award, Scouting Apex challenge...

GoGo Getaway 11 & my classes, recipes, garden path revamp...

Go Karting party, Hubbys birthday, cinema & theatre visit...

Cinema visit, halloween, pumpkin carving &

painting,changing our car...

I love looking back at all the little details that would be lost if I didn't keep notes or make these albums.

Thank you for looking too x

Card Challenge - Design Seeds.

This month our card challenge over on the Scrapology blog was set by DT member ScrapDolly. She asked used to use the Thistled Blues Palette from Design Seeds as our inspiration.

I love the icy colours & after a hunt through my stash, this is what I came up with.

I'm quite pleased with them & have already earmarked their recipients.

Please pop on over to the blog for all the details of how to play along & the prize on over x

Roller Coaster of a Week...

This week is one of those weeks which has me twisting & turning, down & then up, this way & that...riding my very own roller coaster.

I know it's coming & even through I think I'm ready for it, it still catches me & takes me for a ride exposing my emotions, reliving the past...

Yesterday (12th Jan) was the 4th anniversary of our house fire & tomorrow (14th Jan) is the 2nd anniversary of moving back. The two years in between were the longest, slowest moving, frustrating years I've ever lived through. During that time I learned...

I am trying so hard to find the Balance in my life right now & I keep reminding myself that anniversaries are a good thing. They mark life events both good and bad so you can reflect, remember & then move on and that is what we are trying to do with the help, love & support from family & friends on days like these.
