Girls Day Out

We all had a lovely 'Girly' day out in Southampton, shopping, coffee, lunch and then a show.

Guess where we went for coffee?

Guess which show we went to see?

I had seen the show way back in the sixties and it all came back to me, I was singing along to all the numbers, it was brilliant.

Thank you for looking at my LO.

Week 45 Challenge

This week challeng 'A Blast from the Past'

This certainly is the past. We got married nearly 34 years ago, 26th March 1977. Then we had a special 'Handfasting' - (a pagan wedding in 2007). We had the most wonderful time, this time it included our 2 sons and all our special friends.

Thank you for looking at my LO

SWU Challenge continues!

Well here we go again, after the break for Christmas I've managed to get up-to-date again.


Week 40 Something Scary

This week I found it quite difficult to think of a suitable LO, but came up with this one of my husband and our little grandaughter who was only 6 months, yes it is scary how fast she is growing.

Week 41 White Space

As everyone who knows me will know, I HAVE to fill in every bit of space, so this weeks challange was just that a real challenge. This LO is of a group of spiritual friends and

myself celebrating 'Yule.

Week 42 A Review of 2010

This challenge was a lovely one, except there was no way all my photos would

fit on one 12 x 12 sheet, not the size I printed them anyway!

So there was only one thing to do a double page spread.

Week 43 6 Things I love Right Now

This was easy! Except for the lettering - I cut it out using my gypsie - it took me 4 attempts to get it right - it was only when I was getting so frustrated and about to thrown the ........ thing out the window, my husband suggested I re-calibrate it, guess what - this is the result.

Moral of the story 'Never give up'

Week 44 Christmas / Holidays

We don't celebrate Christmas as normal, we celebrate 'Yule' so when My son sent me this photo of my grandaughters first chirstmas among all her presents, I just had to use it in this weeks challenge. A friend of theirs made Maisie a stocking with her name on it, and my other son bought Maisie the giant Minnie Mouse

Well that's my LO's hope you like them as much as I have enjoyed doing them.

Thank you for looking

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

10 Things about ........... me!

It's quite difficult writing about yourself, but I realized I am different things to different people.

Thank you for looking

Lost & Found

S.W.U challenge

Wk 29 Yes I'm still keeping up!

This picture is of my son Ben and our lovely daughter-in-law Nikki.

I found it quite difficult to find a picture to meet this challenge, but decided on these although I haven't actually lost Ben, but I have found the daughter I never had!!

Thank you for looking

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!!

Thank you for looking

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

SWU

I am now up to date with the challenges.

Week 24 Accessorize

I cheated and downloaded the shop name for the title for this weeks challenge!

This picture was taken when I was a few months old, I was wearing Dads sunglasses, I'm not sure what I'm wearing on my head.

Week 25 A Guilty Pleasure

This is MY guilty pleasure (SCRAPPING), not the actual scrapping, it's the amount I spent on my hobby

Week 26 Life's a Beach

This picture, of my sons Joe and Ben (now 29 & 31 yrs) was taken by their Grandfather on Bognor Beach

Challenge Number 23 'Cherry on the Top'

This lo is of my sister Celia and I, we are sitting on the back door step, licking the cake mixture off the spatulas, we would get into a terrible mess but loved it.

Thank you for looking Teresa
