In the New Year, I decided to join Shimelle's scrapbook challenge, to scrap 2010 month by month. Her ideas are inspirational, and include adding a divided page in the middle of each month, so that you can include more photo's than you would on a normal layout. A lot of people have also used the dividers to make several "mini" layouts too, which has been fun to do. Here is my attempt for January!
It's been a hard month to be positive about, as Nick injured his knee a few days after he returned from an RAF exercise, and was sent home on crutches. We took him back to Cranwell last weekend for an MRI scan, only to have to go and collect him again on Wednesday, as they haven't even booked the MRI scan yet. He is trying to stay positive, but after a month he still can't bend his knee, and is obviously very worried about his future. He goes back again to see the head physio on Thursday, so we are hoping he will actually get things moving. Not knowing is hard to bear, and it is awful not being able to do anything to help him. We just hope and pray constantly that they will be able to repair the damage, and that he WILL achieve his dream of becoming an RAF pilot, even if it will take a bit longer than he had hoped.
Let's hope that by the time I scrapbook February, it will be better news!

Oh dear - I am very sorry to hear of Nick's knee. What a nuisance for him I will send some healing thoughts to it.
I didn't quite get started Shimelle's 2010 as I was concentrating on finishing the Christmas Journal - and by the time I'd become aware of it I'd started my photo diary anyway - so maybe next year...
Is it a 12x12 affair and are the protectors with pockets working out ok? I like the sound of them.
Now I must go back and click on your photos to make them larger and have a better look.
As you say - what a month!
I have been meaning to come back and say how much I admired your crocheting - and your nice neat writing!
