My Month in Numbers - April x

I really enjoy doing this unusual type of monthly round up. It helps me see our lives in a totally different light & also starts me thinking about the Project Life pages I'm still to start for the same month & gets my head in the right place to begin them.

So here is April.

38.2 miles power walked - I didn't get much chance mainly due to Easter hols.

7 Hot cross buns, toasted & buttered, consumed over the Easter Holidays.

£119.15 - the saving I made on dies I purchased during the Sizzix uk sale.

11 blogs written - seems to be about average this year.

20 years since I first met these Ladies at an Aqua Swimming lesson & we now have 24 children between us!!

188 miles I drove to experience the most wonderful day at Windsor castle watching Dan march in the Queens Scout Parade alongside 500 other Queen Scouts.

3 fabulous weekends spent with scrapping Ladies :)2 actually scrapping & 1 teaching at the GoGo Getaway.

£80.50 - raised at a Macmillan Girls Night In, what a great night it was too full of food, laughter & party games :D

S17 & 18 - Our seats at the LG Arena to see  the wonderful Gary Barlow x 

Thats all folks.

Hop on over to Julie's blog to read more MMIN posts this month x

First 25 happy days!

I've been loving doing this #100 happy days challenge I first found on Facebook. I think it's mainly because in this busy world we live in, it helps me register the small things that you can sometimes miss & recognise that I do indeed live a happy life.

I wanted to record this challenge as part of my Project life & found the perfect page protectors from Becky Higgins at Sarah's Cards shop.

This is what I have included in March.

I stated the challenge on the 7th( for no good reason other than this is the day I first saw it) so hence why there are 25 photos in March.

I used the Instaframe app to create the collage plus rhonna designs app to add the numbers prior to printing them 4x4 in square. I added the details of each photo on a 3x4 journalling card.

So far I am still up to date with this challenge & don't seem to find it a chore like I have with other photo challenges I've attempted in the past. So I hope to share more of these images again soon x

I'm continuing to try & keep my pages simple & use up the memorabilia I hoard! plus using up old supplies & paper. This month I dug out a few old stamp sets to use & having them to hand meant that they do feature on these pages :)I need to remember to do that again next month x
