GOOD MORNING - WELL MARCH IS DISAPPEARING IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE

I noticed it on Friday when I clocked the 13th rocking post of the year - 13 - that's a quarter of the year - yes that's right.  13 weeks in so how is your year looking so far, have you ticked things off the to do list, achieved what you were wanting to achieve by now, making good headway?  Have the resolutions been ticked off or drop kicked?  Either way there is still lots of time to make changes and progress!

I think I need to 'shift' things a little bit if I'm honest, it's noting how best to do that but it's not insurmountable just a determination to crack on as it were.  But whilst I'm making these changes I'll share a few layouts with you.  First up a double page I did around our visit to Souter Lighthouse last year.  We would never have found this place had it not been for a recommendation from Jen, we had a fab afternoon on a gorgeous coastline!




Next up our first visit to Bridgnorth enjoying a ride in the cliff side railway


And finally a photo documenting our visit to a Japanese garden last year, it was a beautiful day and it was a gorgeous day out!


So there we go, hope you are having a good day!

JAPANESE GARDEN MINI BOOK

Morning all sharing more non 12 x 12 items this morning.  This was another mini book gift that I managed for Christmas, made using the now very old Far East papers by DCWV (Die Cuts with a View).  I made the book for my sister, it is utilising the same book style as the Christmas one I shared yesterday (which show the versatility of books as they look completely different depending on the papers you use).


The mini book documents a day trip to a Japanese Garden as part of a birthday treat of my sister who loves all things Japanese.  Whilst we were there we made up some Haikus (which I documented) and enjoyed some tea in the garden.


I used both photos taken and the Haikus to adorn the book, without (hopefully) losing the essence of the book.







It was a lovely day trip out where you got lots of pictures


The book includes pull outs from the pockets which I covered in photos as well






And there was an amazing crystal garden, inside that had been created - the room was quite literally buzzing!












Thanks for looking!
