Good morning, well I find myself on Tuesday and the sun is shining and there are definite blue skies at the moment, so we are off out in a moment to enjoy the day. I hope you are making the most of it too!
Three layouts to share this morning, first up a photo from the Members Garden Party at Chatsworth last year, we had a fabulous evening in the garden, enjoying the band, the food we had taken and the fireworks!
Next up a photo of said 15 year old on his main hike when he went to Crookestone Barn last year as part of the team building for the Lesotho expedition. I just remember how tired he was when he arrived back that weekend!
And finally a photo of niece and her friend at their prom last year, I love love love, the natural pose of the two of them! Utterly beautiful!
I created all three layouts from a colour kit I put together inspired by a CSI post.
Morning all, well I'm sharing the layout I created of my niece ready for her prom at school last year, how stunning does she look!
I kept the layout simple as I wanted to attract the eye to the main photograph, I double matted the photo, varying the depth of the mat which I think works quite well!
Next up my brother and sister at my niece's 16th birthday - she decided she wanted a seaside day, which is exactly what we had!
and finally a shot taken by hubby last spring, we had a warm sunny day and said 15 year old decided to sunbathe - words fail me!
I hope you are off to a flying start on the scrapping front in February!
Morning all tis Friday - so what positives have I got for this week, the 26th of 2015?
Well I think the biggest happy this week has to be my niece, not only did she did the pretty mudders race at the weekend, raising money for cancer research charity
She also had her prom, here she is looking absolutely stunning and she's not yet 16! Me, my Mum and my sister were all very teary as we took photos, I raced home from work to get to see her, she looked utterly amazing!
There were other positives in the week but many of those disappeared into the background as you can probably appreciate!
We did some fun crafting activities on Friday evening
And worked on my peg loom
We also discovered the amazing Wingham Wool Works which is on the doorstep, an absolute heaven for all things wool!
Said 14 year old went off for a friends birthday with a cinema trip and TGI Fridays afterwards so we had a quiet Saturday afternoon and early evening, we managed to grab ourselves a meal at our local pub.
Sunday we toddled off to the cinema to watch a recorded stage play of Midsummer Night's Dream which was great, although proved a rather expensive sleep for said 14 year old - hurrumph!!!
Monday brought week three of the summer of colour challenge and this week I created seahorses.
Talking of said 14 year old, I'm grateful that he went off and had his first lot of jabs for his Lesotho trip, I'm also very grateful that he remembered that we had a school meeting on Tuesday as we had failed to put it on the calendar, I'm glad he was happy to come with us (despite the scary subject of how much they are changing the GCSE exams). And I've also got my fingers and toes crossed for him later when he is having a tooth removed, his first, it's actually a baby tooth and there isn't full space for it and there isn't one underneath which means it's causing problems with his other teeth which we don't want to decay as a result, so he's having it pulled, we are all somewhat apprehensive about it, so please think positive thoughts that it is a quick and simple process.
So there we have it (and the week has flown by literally!). How was yours were there any happy moments, silver linings that made you smile and reminded you of the gift of life, you know the one where you wake up and say yes - another day!
If you fancy joining in then pop a post together come back, link up and we shall come and visit, no blog, no problem, leave me a comment telling me your positives, or just sit quietly for 10 minutes and remember the highlights of the week, it is far too easy to dwell on the negative moments of life rather than the positives.
