Friends

Yesterday I saw one of my oldest friends for the first time in ages. The type of friend who, even though it's been months, you can pick up where you left off.

The great project life dilemma

Since doing December Daily (or attempting too) this year, I've got a bit of a bug for pocket scrapbooking. I say every year I want to do project life but never manage it but this year I'm almost certainly, say 75%, thinking I want to do it.

But what album to go for? I like the size of the 6x8 - small always seems easier - but what make? Simple stories? Studio calico? The triple rings of the studio calico are nice and I have a few page protectors already. Or do I go 9x12? Oh the dilemma!!

Merry Christmas!!

Tuesday 15

Sorry for the out of sync post!!

Tuesday 15 was a special day in that the first British astronaut to the International Space Station blasted off from Kazakhstan.  I put the launch on TV but safe to say, Ella wanted to watch something else. I did manage to persuade her to try and build a rocket from her blocks.

Wednesday 16

A busy day with a very well behaved three year old. Well. Mostly.
We got up and out early and went to a preschool group at a soft play centre. Ella got to run and play as well as paint and play with playdoh.
Then we met daddy for lunch and again, Ella was a star.
I had a few shops to pop into and there was no moaning and only one wee stop!
Both  girls fell asleep in the car on the way home and that's where I made a mistake... I tried to wake Ella up so she would sleep that night. Never try to wake her. There is thrashing. There is screaming. Unfortunately there was also a three year old who didn't fall asleep until 2145....

Attempted to make a gingerbread house...

12th

Braved town. Got my eyes tested as they feel really strained. Took the girls to meet Santa. Met auntie nat and uncle Ryan. Browsed the fabric shop. Childminders Christmas party.

Also, I feel I'm in that fuggy place after pregnancy. Still no mojo but making slight progress with Crochet and, thanks to my Simple Stories prize, my December Daily.
