The Start of Something Big..

I did this layout a couple of weeks ago but seriously felt it was lacking something, so put it to one side. I browsed blogs for inspiration and finally found some VIA the Crafty Templates blog site,  in the form of one of their contributors, Sian. I urge you to check out her stuff. I love the unstructured-Ness of it.

Ah dollies..

Collecting dollies can be quite addictive..ive never been into dolls other than Blythe, but these two are very tempting..

Week in the life Day 7

I did it! 7 days of photos!

Week in the life Day 6

Day 5 was a bit lacking in the photo department.
All my photos are taken on my phone and edited using the Photogrid app.

Week in the life Day 3

I finally managed a bit more scrapping. i dont feel i have my scrap mojo back yet but im hoping its not far off!!

My life is already looking pretty dull and repetitive!!

week in the life day 1

week in the life..

for a long time now ive wanted to start an 'epic' scrapping project. every year i see all the amazing 'Journal your Christmas'( http://www.shimelle.com/paper/1284/journal-your-christmas-2011-online-scrapbooking-class/ ) and 'Project Life' ( http://aliedwards.com/projects/365-project-life/ ) albums and wish i had the time and motivation to start one.

So ive decided to give it a go.

Ali Edwards also promotes a project called 'A Week in the Life' ( http://aliedwards.com/projects/week-in-the-life ) which is a smaller, less imposing version of Project Life. Now that Eleanor is part of our life, and im off work, it gives me the perfect opportunity to have a go at something.

loving right now..
