B is for Birthday's

Yay me, I've finished the B page at last! I wanted to make a record of Nick's favourite birthdays, but after spending several nights finding all his old birthday pictures and scanning them in, I became quite nostalgic and didn't know which to choose. Finally decided they were ALL going in, but as the journal is only 8" square that was impossible, you'd have needed a magnifying glass to see the pictures! Finally decided to put my 3 favourites on one side of the layout, and small pictures off another 8 on the other side (that was all I could fit on!) Hope you like it. Meanwhile, I'm off to pour myself a well deserved glass of wine to celebrate!

The A page is finished at last!

At last, I have finished the first pages of the A to Z journal I am doing for my son, Nick. I decided to do "A for Arrival", using a double page layout for each letter. These pages came together quite easily, as I was able to copy newspaper clippings and photo's from his baby book. I am going to try and keep plenty of room for journalling throughout the book, so that Nick can read it over the years and remember that I wasn't a bad mum, after all! I hope you like it.

My only problem now is whether to do another one for my daughter Polly - she wants to know why I'm not doing her one, too!

Making Gingerbread House

Hi,

Resisted huge urge to go shopping today and decided to take the Christmas decorations down instead. So now the house looks really bare, but I can get to my desk again so have no excuse to start scrapping soon! I ordered my journal on the internet today, and have my first page planned in my mind.


My DD has been wanting to make a gingerbread house since before Christmas, after I bought one in kit form from Aldi's. Well, we assembled the house yesterday and today she decorated it all by herself. It looks fabulous! The kit came with all the people and decorations, I gave Polly some extra jellies from the cupboard so she really went to town! I love spending time with her like this, wish we didn't both have to go back to school on Monday.
