Birthday Cake

Here is the result of a lot of eggs, some painting and some patience :)

T43

Went out for Afternoon tea today with Jan and Ruth for Jan's 60th Birthday. It was fabulous - highly recommended!! A great way to spend an afternoon off work...not often I had a cuppa so it had to be photographed!

I made Jan an exploding box rather than a card with a photo of the three of us inside.

Scrapology January Scraplift Challenge

Here is my LO for the Scrapology January Scraplift Challenge. I loved this sketch and knew exactly which pictures I'd be digging out of the box! I used up my very last adhesive crystal on this and I'm not supposed to buying anything - oh dear....!!!!

M110

A couple more layouts - I've finished the Doodlebug Birthday kit and moved onto the Sweetheart one :) I'm not sure about the engagement LO - not used to the "white space" so feels like I need to throw something at it!

Mission One Ten Layouts

I have been really good and sticking to the Mission One Ten rules - no buying anything! I have also been stash busting by using kits and opening packets (almost painful!).

Here are a few LO's of Rebecca's 3rd birthday (yes...over a year ago!) they are all pretty simple, but I've enjoyed using the Doodlebug Birthday Girl kit with a few added extras from the stash pile :)

Graduation

Carly graduated today! Tickets only available for her parents, so we went along to meet her outside the town hall and see her in cap and gown. We bought a bead for her PAndora bracelet to say Congratulations (if Rebecca had her way it would have been a kermit the frog or tinkerbell one!). Carly wasn't keen on all the attention!

Song of the Week

A song I'd usually pass over, but this appeared through shuffle tonight and I just had to listen to it. Realised it was from one of Mum's favourite albums when I got home :)

You're not the girl you think you are,
no nothey're not his shoes under your bed,
yeah yeah he'll take you places in his carbthat you won't forget, no
And all the people that you know, yeah will turn their heads as you go by
but you'll be hard to recognize with the top down and the wind blowing, blowing
He won't deceive you but tell you the truth
woman, he'll be no trouble
he won't write you letters
full of excuses
come on, believe you have one in a million
You're not the girl you think you are, yeah
someone's standing in your place
the bathroom mirror makes you look tall
but it's all in your head, in your head
