Another day, another LO. This is my interpretation of the pencil lines sketch 27. Colin the caterpillar scrapped so soon after he hatched!!!




TUT TUT!!! naughty me... scrapping recent photos before the older ones... must set myself the challenge that for every new photo I scrap I have to scrap an older photo too!!!

Going out in a mo... taking the boys to the park
for some fresh air. And for once I am going to leave the camera at home so I can focus on the fun rather than getting that perfect photo!!!

Surely even scrappers need to step away from the camera sometimes?!?!?

OK so I know 3 posts in one day is a little excessive... but this is a quickie just to share this LO.

My lovely little super hero, a LO based on Pencil Lines sketch 26.

Two posts in one day.... I need to get out more!!!

While I am sat here feeding niblet, I thought I would pop on and show you my nice tidy work space!

I am so sad... I even sorted all my embroidery threads. I have a whole basket full of them accumulated over the years from lots of cross stitch projects. I love stitching on LOs but it takes soooooooo long....

The unit is from Ikea. I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it. It holds all of the stash I use on a regular basis (the rest is still in the loft). I sorted through my cardstock and paper so that I have a varied range downstairs, and it sits nicely on top of the unit in Artbins, and the 2 big white boxes underneath hold all my patterned paper scraps and cardstock scraps... well when I say scraps, quite often there is nearly a whole sheet left!!! My sewing machine has to be close to hand... so that is downstairs too, but the sizzix is upstairs in a wardrobe as I don't use it that often.

Have decided to do a Pencil Lines sketch tonight, so hoping the boys go down and stay down!!!

*****Happy Easter*****

The easter bunny visited our house this morning... leaving Oliver 23 little eggs and 2 big eggs, daddy 1 big egg, Harry some pennies for his money box and mummy some new jeans!!!

What a clever bunny, knowing what would make everyone happy!!!

Not much opportunity to scrap today... Oliver wants to play outside, which is good as he will be nice and tired tonight. But Harry wants to be held rather than being in his pushchair/bouncy chair/bumbo!!!!

He looks so funny in his bumbo... he's not very impressed with it, but me being the cruel mummy I am can't wait to scrap a picture of him in it, mmwahhhahahahahahahaha!!!!

Hoping that Rob will take the boys over to the park for half an hour so that I can sort out my work space. I want to match some stash together in the daylight so that I can just get on and do a LO tonight, rather than faffing for ages like I usually do!!!

Had a fab couple of days at my mum's. Yesterday we took the boys to Sundown Adventure Land. Oliver has been a couple of times before but it was Daddy and Harry's first time. The weather was perfect and a great time was had by all.

Harry had to have his second lot of jabs today... it was awful. He was smiling away at me and 'talking' whilst we were in the doctors oblivious to what was about to happen... After the second injection he looked so upset with me that I started to fill up too. I'd be no good as a doctor or nurse...

It is very quiet without Oliver... I miss him loads when he is not here, but I spoke to him tonight and he is having lots of fun with Mama and Grandad. Tomorrow he is going to Center Parcs for the day... that boy really does have a very good life.

Managed to get another LO done today whilst Harry was in his calpol induced sleep!!! That must sound awful, like I drugged him so that I could scrap.....hhhhhmmmmmmm now there's a thought... LOL!



I am going to try and get another LO done tonight, but I really, really, really must go to bed early... I was up ironing until 12:30 this morning and then Niblet was up at 3:00 and again at 6:30.

I have so many LO ideas in my head and just never enough time to get them all done. I am awaiting some stamps from Fontwerks, and have a couple of pics set aside to use for these... and did I mention that I have ordered more stamps today?!?!? oops!!! just fell into my basket whilst I was 'just looking', no more buying stash...

I mean it.... I really do!!!

Had a fabby weekend... Mum came to stay on Friday for a couple of nights, and went home yesterday taking Oliver with her on the coach. He has been looking forward to this for ages!!!

Also got some scrapping done... I am loving having my scrapping space downstairs... I am getting much more done. Here are 2 of the LOs I did....

I also did another mini book, this time in pink for a friends little girl. I can't believe she who said she couldn't see the point in mini books, has got into them in a big way...LOL!!! It is not doing my sleep any good at all... now I not only dream about LOs but mini books!!!!
