This week's challenge on UKS, to use precious stash, my Sassafras bits, not got much left! A life theme, cuddles after waking from a nap, dgs, not me! Doodle or draw, stitching down left hand side. Swirls, die cut, and a cosy feeling, what better than a cuddle!

Tag 29 for 52Q challenge. Do you have a recurring dream?

Tag 30 - who do you need to thank?

Two more for my dear sister! My niece took her children to Manley Aquarium for some holiday fun!

Quick off the mark with this week's challenge on UKS! Nice easy one, only three elements, a love theme, pearls and something recycled. Love - is a great night out, used black pearls and the sparkly ric rac is recycled from one of the dd's tops.

Yippee, I finally finished the mini book that was a class from Karen at Total Papercraft during our 365 weekend. It was a lot of work, can't say I enjoyed all the sanding around the scalloped edges, but it was worth the effort! I have used some of my favourite photos from that weekend, but think I might add some journalling inside the front covers.

July week 2 challenge on UKS, a lot of criteria this week! Use stars, squares, white space, blue, birds and a celebration! Managed all of these! Photo is of the cake at the 30th anniversary celebrations of Fleet Knitting Club.

Tag 28 for 52Q challenge, sorry picture seems a bit blurry!

Playing around with some old stash, cutting and stamping, I came up with this lo of dgs2 playing with bubbles!

A mini star book, just some photos from a recent day of fun with dgs2! Hopefully when he is grown up he will look at it and wonder!

Tag 26 for 52Q challenge - what would I write on my walls?

Tag 27 - what have I found recently?

This lo is for the July week one challenge on UKS, title had to refer to summer, have a summer theme to the lo, have 2 photos, some ribbon and secret journalling. The photos were taken at the weekend when we went on a picnic with ds and family, the journalling is under the file folder!

This photo of dh and the girls was taken on Father's Day this year. I had deserted them all to go to a 365 weekend, so they organised a bbq for him!

Two more lo's for big sis's album!

Here is a lo I did in a class with Karen from Total Papercrafts on the 365 weekend! I love how it is so busy but the photos really stand out!

Here is a mini tag book which I made on the 365 weekend retreat. It is made from one sheet of double sided heavyweigh paper, folded to make pockets to hold tags etc! each tag contains a message from each lady at the weekend! Lovely keepsake!


Thank you to Barbara for helping us to make these!

Don't often do lo's of me, so when I saw this piccie taken by dh on a walk the other weekend, I quite liked it so had to scrap it!

Here are tags 24&25 for 52Q's challenge, all up to date again!

This week's challenge on UKS, featuring the ladies in my life, using a sketch, incorporating yellow, and using stash/tools I am addicted to! Think I'm addicted to it all!

A friend's dgd, isn't she cute?


















A friend, with the best sort of baby, doesn't cry, need feeding or nappies!

One more of sisters dgc!

This lo was done for the week 2 challenge on UKS, had to follow a sketch, use three different techniques and patterned papers, and include a number in the title. The photos show some brilliant grafitti along a footpath, and the artists seem to change the subject every few months!

More pics of my sisters dgc for her album!

A little boy, pleased to wear glasses!

June week 1 challenge on UKS. We had a sketch to follow, something handmade use acetate, so I made the acetate flowers and coloured them in, and use some ric rac. Photos show dd1 having had her new hairstyle from the training stylists at an Aveda salon, was a great change from her old style of just hanging long hair!
