New year’s eve

The year is nearly over and I can look back on it quite happily. I was determined to get fitter at the start of the year and have certainly done that, our walks have become part of the daily routine now and I’ve lost well over a stone in weight

I’ve scrapped more, taking part in several classes and completed several knitting and crochet projects.

I didn’t quite reach my book target but I’ve read a wide range of authors which I’ve thoroughly enjoyed.

Most importantly I’ve completed a whole year of daily photos which I never thought I would do

All that’s left for me to do is wish you all a happy new year, I’m looking forward to seeing what you all get up to next year!

Happy Christmas

I did this layout following a class over on 2peas by Nichol Magouirk as I wanted to try using my mica mists. I did enjoy the class but think I’m better with cleaner layouts!

I’m now going to leave the computer alone for a few days and enjoy my time with the family. I hope everyone has a lovely Christmas xx

time to catch up

I’ve managed to find a little time to catch up on my journal as I know the next few days will be hectic!

I hope you are all on top of things and able to enjoy these busy few days.

journal

next two pages of my journal

a new granddaughter

 

this little boy, being cuddled by his daddy, is now busy making a fuss of his own little baby.

Yesterday morning we had a new addition to the family, a little granddaughter

So I think I can be allowed to delay my 10th journal page until I have a photo to use.

A new baby in a Christmas Journal, what could be better!
