Photo of a very tired dgs1 waiting patiently for his meal!
Dgs1 learning to use his new scooter just after Christmas last year!



This week's lo for UKS January week 4 challenge. Had to use a pic of an animal, red, black or gold and some stitching. Managed all three! Photo is dd1's guinea pig who died last year.

This week's lo for Shimelle's challenge, Scrap Like You Mean It. We had a sketch to follow, and I kept very much to it, and kept it simple! Photo is of the frozen canal a couple of weekends ago.


This started life as a plain chipboard address book from Paperchase, I just couldn't leave it like that!

Had another little play with digi last night, used a free download from Rhonna Farrer at 2 Peas. Not a brilliant photo, with that shiny forehead, but typical of dd2 and her dh!

And here is lo3 for SLYMI challenge, using chipboard.


January week 3 challenge on UKS, had to scrap a winter picture with summer colours. This photo shows the ducks sitting on the frozen canal a week ago, as they were nearly under the bridge, the water wasn't frozen there and gave nice reflections.


My week 2 lo for Shimelle's Scrap Like You Mean It challenge on UKS. Had to use hearts or stars, I went for the hearts!

52Q first tags


I decided to do Emily Falconbridge's 52 Questions challenge this year, but will stick to small tags to make it a more manageable project.
Here are the first two tags! My answers to the questions are on the reverse side and as they are personal I will not show them!

This is the lo I have done for this week's challenge on UKS. Piccie is dgs2 on his first birthday eyeing up the candle on his cake!



Three more 6x6 lo's for my sister, piccies are her grandchildren!
I love the first one where they have so obviously been told to smile for the camera!

OK, I should be finishing my Christmas album but I got distracted by this lovely free kit from Scrapdragon and had to have a play!

Pages 30 and 31, nearly there!








More pages for my Christmas album, still very simple, but I still got behind!

Boxing day, and all invited to dd3 for a buffet lunch, then lots of chatter and games!


Christmas Day, much quieter this year for us as didn't have all the family for lunch, but still had fun! And the usual games in the evening, lots of laughter!


Christmas Eve, the build up to the big day! Lots of preparation here!

Page23 - about Christmas stockings! Photos show ours, sadly they have been redundant for a few years now! The very large stocking I made as a joke for dh many years ago!

This is the lovely Maya Road Calendar album I received from Secret Santa on the Crafty Magpies team on UKS! Couldn't have been a better choice as I have a project in mind for next year and this will be perfect for it! Thankyou Santa!
