S.W.U 39

I'm definitely on a role now, posting my challenge LO's 2 days running!!


This LO is of 2 of my dear friends, we met in Brighton in 1979 when our children were born, and have been friends ever since. Although we live some miles apart we meet up each year
for a pic-nic and of course a long chat.

Thank you for looking

S.W.U. Challenges

This is is the final 3 challenges to bring me up-to-date.
I think I have even managed to put them in the right order, lets see!!

This is wk 36 - Think Pink

This is Maisie in her pink baby grow she was 3 days old




This is wk 37 - Patchwork

I put faux cross stitch around the paper.


This is wk 38 - My proudest Moment

My son Ben is terrified of hospitals - 'faints' at the thought of having to go inside one,
but he was present at the birth of his baby daughter Maisie in June this year.
Well done I'm very proud of you

Thank you for looking at my LO's if you have any comments please leave them

S.W.U. Challenge

I'm finally up-to-date with the challenges, well for the time being any way!

I have had to add them to my blog in stages as there doesn't seem to be enough space to upload them all at the same time, they are also slightly out of order so be patient and keep looking!

This is wk 35 - Me in 2010

My greatest moment this year has been becoming a grandmother - Nana 'T',
this is Maisie and me in October.



This is wk 34 - The Great Outdoors

My younger sister and her family spend some time each year in Zimbabwe


This is wk 33 - My Secret
It's a secret so I can't tell you!

This is wk 32 - Magic

My son Ben was mad on 'doing' Magic, just like his Uncle Simon. One year we bought him a magic set, I made a cape and a top hat - poor rabbit, it was in and out of the top hat
so many time it wanted to disappear!

Thank you for looking, if you have any comments please leave them

Maisie's 1st Bath

I don't usually post Lo's other than the S.W.U. challenge on my blog, but I just had to add these of my new baby grandaughter having her 1st bath. I scrap lifted the design from a magazine, I thought it was so clever. I had wanted to use the magnets I bought ages ago and had so many pictures of Maisie having her bath, so I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to combine the two.




Thank you for looking

S.W.U. 31


How I feel about?
Being a 'grandparent'
I LOVE IT

Martin decide he wanted to be called 'Grumpy' - I knew I didn't want to be :-
Grandma, Granny or Nanny - so decide on Nana 'T' as a friend had become 'Nana Lyn' just before Maisie was born, and I quite liked it. But in the end babies will call you what ever they want.

Thank you for looking

S.W.U. 30

SWU 28


Traditions ~ I've tried and tried to get this picture straight, perhaps it's my camera!! I expect it is more likely the way I'm holding the camera.

I found this challenge very taxing, traditions - traditions - Christmas - no, family traditions - we have many but I haven't any photos of them, or at least none I would want to scrap. I was looking through my box of old photos when these fell out. They are of the drama group my husband and I used to belong to on the mainland. After the final performance we would have a get-together and put of a little show of our own, there was a great deal of talent in our company, people would sing, recite poems ect,. Some of the guys would dress up in the girls costumes and give their rendition of the main songs - with a difference!! My son at 13 yrs(wearing the blue dress!) enjoyed this as he was 'one of the guys', my husband is in the front row stage left. It's a bit worrying when both son and husband enjoy dressing up!!

SWU 27


Hi everyone, well believe it or not, I'm now totally up-to-date with the challenges.


This LO probably only loosely fits the challenge, which was to scrap what makes you happy along with altering your paper, if you look closely you can see I have distressed the edges of the CS, but I have torn the paper as well, which is becoming easier for me!

The LO is of my sons Joe and his girlfriend Suzie during their recent holiday in Egypt and Ben and Nikki on the day their baby Maisie was born.

Thank you for looking

Scrap with Us number 16

'Old Wives Tales'

Hi, this is my 'old wives tale'

If you hold a ring over a pregnant women's belly you are supposed to be able to tell the sex of the baby, if the ring swings from side to side it will be a girl, and if it swings in a circle it is going to be a boy!!


This is my daughter-in-law expecting her first baby. The ring says it will be a girl - we will know shortly, it is now 6 days over due. I'm so looking forward to meeting my first G'baby.

Scrap with You number 13

I started off being worried by this challenge, but knew which photo I wanted to use. The challenge photo gave me the inspiration to use these spring colours.

Scrap with You number 12

This challenge was great, there is a secret envelope with a tab and my journalling. This picture is of Ben (with fair hair) and his cousins on one of their sleep overs.

Scrap with You number 11

I found this weeks challenge very troublesome, I have problems tearing paper!!
