A few from this week for the Scraptember FB page


19th 'Surprise' love how the photo's I took whilst she was engrossed with the TV whilst eating a snack and didn;t even notice me - although worrying too x 


Day 20- ' Leftovers'  could mean anything - well these are left over papers and Keir and Luna were at Wing Wah Chinese Buffet where there are usually loads and loads of leftovers !


Day 21 - 'Hexagons' - I still might put some tiny hexagons on this coloured with the same paint as the background ?  -  didn't really relate at all to the prompt today


Day 22 - Saturday today - TV programmes........... don't really know if I like this layout, but I refound my safmat which is a clear sticky sheet and so it looks like you've typed directly onto the layout which is great !  AND as I said above, Luna is too INTO TV and it worries me that she has such attention span, but I am not her parents.  x  

Not done so many Layouts this week

I hope my mojo is waning !  I ordered an alphabet and stamp set (Lawn Fawn) and didn't like it but I persevered today and it's growing on me.  I hope so as it was nearly £30 altogether.  AND I also ordered a bloody alphabet on Facebook through American company and that was $30 so far tracked to London, hope it gets here this time next week ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, need to play.

Ordered so much stuff but been a bit better this week.  Especially if my mojo is waning.  Think I just like bought alphabets better !

& three scrapbook kits every month !!!  -  cut out the page layout kit - as this months wasn't that good to be honest. 

Keeping Lottie loves paper and Mind the Scrap though.  But counted up that I have over 700 papers OMG how did that happen.


I am so fat fat fat

11.6 - so thats an 8lb gain since April.  This cannot continue.  Started AGAIN today and Keir turns up with chocolate and peanuts and dry roasted nuts etc -  needing eating he said so he didn't take them home with him.

So what did I do - yes I F**king ate loads of them.  Didn't have much lunch though and a small tea.  finished off my sweets I bought at work yesterday and a few crisps off Korin - that is it now, back to it properly by the time I go to work on Thursday I want to be 11.3 and I know I can do it !

Well, Korin and Tod have moved in together !

this last week..................... I am very happy for her, she won't have to struggle so much financially.  I hope. 

Paid for a meal for them tonight (Saturday 22.9.18) as a moving in present.  He seems a good guy x cooks every night for her.  How wonderful would that be eh.  I am so sick of cooking.  Well I cook as little as I possibly can these days.

Tuesday 18 September 2018

I didn't do any more Go Go Getaway but continued with Scraptember. to today 18.9.18

And got inspiration from Going again to Burton Play Farm and adventure Barn thingummy !  In fact I had luna 3 days last week and two days this week - and over the weekend me and key cleared Korins old bedroom of the junk - and Alison got her Wedding Dress - it is beautiful and she looks so lovely in it x x x - and also then went to the Play Farm etc - tomorrow is a day off and I intend to get washing up to date and REST - or scrap again - which is more probable.

I have spent far too much money, how many times do I actually say that - have just ordered yet another die from America which has cost $30 about £25 !!  I really wanted it but now I'm thinking it's going to be a small die again and I don't really like small dies.  Just had another die and stamp set - £30 - this has got to stop, but I am so enjoying my scrapping agian x

Anyway, here we are with more Scraptemebers........












Sunday 9 September 2018

and of course theres more

Challenge 4 I think use a die as a stencil - so i did this background


Challenge No. 5 was to do a scraplift 


Challenge No. 6 was to encorporate a cup of tea.  More than likely this would have been coffee for Keir but the picture kinda fitted the brief.


There re 6 more challenges.  BUT I don't think I can bring myself to do much more of these - plus having to do the Scraptember scrapping too.  But I shall see x

Scraptember & Go Go Getaway Cyber Crop weekend

Day 2 - Away.......


Day 3 - Sunrise - couldn't find a pic of a sunrise so did a pic again of luna being the sunshine in my life and sunrise is sunshine - so it's a golden layout - kinda fits 


Day 4 - Sunset.  Found some pics of mom and these weren't long before she died so it was kind of the end of the day for her.  titled it Moms Sunset Years.  Loved her so much, she was such a lovely person.  


Day 5 = Goals.  I like this pic of me where I am slimmer.  The wording tells of how I need to be more positive etc.  today I weighed myself at 11.3 which is 5lb's heavier than this picture.  I was pleased with ll.3 and thought I will be really good today - and what did I do, ate a load of crap with a capital C.  Fed up being stupid.  Must be much better from tomorrow I can 11.1 on Thursday when I go back to work. 


Day 6 - explore.  And the layout is self explanitory really.  playing and exploring games with little miss.


Day 7 was still to be done at this stage and so I went on to the No. 1 Challenge on Go Go Getaway, it's only a cybercrop which I said I would never do !!  ha ha.  Challenge No. 1 was to be inspired by hexagons.  Don't know if I really like this layout and the pictures printed by myself are very dark, but it fits the brief.  Will probably be thrown away when I go through my layouts next.  ha ha x 


2nd Challenge was to do a 3 photo layout and I combined this layout with Day 7 on the Scraptember as the title was REST - I try not to let luna sleep in the afternoons as much as possible but by 1.30 pm she is absolutely exhausted.  So we go upstairs and lie on the bed and normally she drops off to sleep.  She fights sleep, she has a temper tantrum if I try to get her to sleep, but a lot of the time now when she's sitting watching TV with me she lies against me and drops off - half hour, 45 minutes occasionally an hour and I lie on the bed with her and 40 winks too - so thats why I called it secret slumber.  I then feel a bit more energised to cope with her for another couple of hours before her dad picks her up.  Shes an absolute delight to look after but my god she's such a bloody handful. I feel old. x 


And the 3rd Challenge on the Cybercrop is / was use up all your odd alphas.  Well this Alpha set of stickers needed using or chucking so I did this 'childlike' layout and used some of the stickers I had bought for luna too as she loves stickers.  Yes it's an immature layout but it sums up little miss to a 'T' x kind of love it/hate it - probably another one which will be chucked away in the next clearout of layouts.  I need to go through all my old albums and throw loads away, after a quick glance through the other night the early layouts are quick shocking - bloody awful x 


And again it's late and i need to sleep.  Gotta catch up with Day 8 & 9 and around 5 cybercrop layouts.  I don't think I shall be able to do it though, too much to do and it's a 3 day week with little miss and I'm back at work after an anniual leave week.  Ah well. it's been fun whilst I can do it x 


Wednesday 5 September 2018

scraptember FB page - scrapping every day for a month x

Day 1 - Prompt - Home .....

Bloomin Heck, time goes by so quickly x

Summer challenges on Facebook - Mind the Scrap have now finished and this weeks sees the all the children returning to school - a few schools went back last week but the majority have gone back this week.............we were going to go away for a few days but really couldn't leave Korin to chase to and fro hers and our house to look after the dog and cats - it's not fair and she's not been feeling very well.  Anyway, I had training at work to do today despite me having this week off as annual leave - I get the hour back (it was only half hour) but they let me have the hour for travelling in and home - but it broke my day up too much and I ended up being out the house for over 2 hours.  Never mind eh.  Another kit received from Mind the Scrap which is lovely, but I really must stop buying, how many times do I actually say that as I place another order - I have another alpha on order too - one came last week and it's only bloody 1 cm tall the letters, no good whatsoever. 

Anyway, done loads of scrapping because of the Summer Challenges and here are a few more - again.  Have also joined a Facebook Page 'Scraptember' - although it's 5th I have only just started Day 1 tonight - so I hope to catch up - I might not actually do all the days but will have to see if I get the time.

All I know is currently I am enjoying myself.  Fingers crossed that it continues, after the amount of money I have spent.




this is that horrible alpha I bought, although it's not that bad if I need  small alphabet of course x







And this is another alphabet which is 3.5 cm tall but only about 1mm wide - really difficult to stick down but I do love the alphabet x


Just how cute does Luna look here.  Love her to bits.  x
