Morning all tis Friday time for
Well it has been a busy week overall I've managed some crafting last Friday and I can officially say that 2016 scrapbooking is complete (typically I've found a few photos that missed out but I can't face dismantling albums so we will simply draw a line). Here are a few that I've managed over the last few weeks
I've now sorted the remaining photos for 2017 into a pile in chronological order and will now be setting too on that pile. I estimate around 80 layouts are needed to complete that task before I can move on to 2018. I've used some old counterfeit kit inspiration to put together a kit to make a start on this task, so watch this space on that front.
We have recently joined the Yorkshire Sculpture Park as members and were desperately in need of a decent walk after what had felt like a difficult week, although we only had a relatively small window we decided to head up and park at the Weston and managed the key lakeside walk, hubby spotted lots of snowdrops on our woodland part of the walk.
It was cold but we were wrapped up well, you can see Emley Moor in the distance, the old analogue tower for television signals, now joined by its much thinner digital signal tower.
On Saturday night me, my sister, hubby and said 19 year old enjoyed a night out watching Ed Byrne at the City Hall, we had a fabulous night out.
We left having laughed so much that our faces ached, always the sign of a good night out!
As usual these two were up to mischief, my cousin said she thinks they are two peas in a pod, I'm not sure, do you see it?
Sunday was a wet day so we had a lovely day just tootling around the house, we had some jobs to do, hubby had a picture to hang and we had some items to go into the loft, you know the sort of thing, jobs that pile up that you haven't had chance to do, including cleaning the crystals and crystal cabinet.
Monday and it was back to the grindstone, I've worked from home due to the amount of work I can get done and the fact I had a key report to write for board.
And on Monday night I went to a craft session at the local shopping centre with my Mum and sister and enjoyed a marbling and book binding workshop. I've done marbling before as some of you may remember.
But I have never done bookbinding and I'm one of those individuals that loves to be shown how to make something, I'm not a lover of watching hours of you tube videos to get to grips with something and prefer the more personal touch.
I managed to completed 3 books by the end of the workshop and have a stack of marbled papers to make some more. This is the first time I've had a go at Japanese stab binding and I must say I'm a little bit addicted, so much so that a book binding kit may have inadvertently dropped into my Amazon shopping basket when I got home.
Tuesday night and we had tickets to the Lyceum theatre to watch "Peter Pan Goes Wrong" by the Mischief Theatre, this is the third of their plays that we've seen at the Lyceum and the first one that said 19 year old has attended. They didn't disappoint and we are always amazed at how physical the antics are and how they don't get hurt. A fabulous night out it has to be said.
Wednesday said 19 year old was off to London with Uni, so I had to drop him off, then had my annual mammogram (family links so I have started this much earlier than most and mine are annual), returned home and report a huge report for work and started a funding bid before ending for the day. Then me and hubby decided on an impromptu date night, so headed out for tapas.
We had a lovely evening, sat chilling enjoying each others company and a fabulous meal.
And that my lovely people was my week, it has unusually been a busy one for us and one I've really enjoyed. I hope you've had a grand week, if you fancy joining in pop a post together come back and link up and we can come and visit.
