and some more

I am so slack with entering my los in the comps I do them for...

but it is using a CHARMS star...which I am addicted to! lol

A new fav

and I nearly missed showing you...

for 123 MAY

what do you think?

A reminder to myself

slow down mummy, there is no need to rush,
slow down mummy, what is all the fuss?
slow down mummy, make yourself a cup tea.
slow down mummy, come spend some time with me.
slow down mummy, let’s pull boots on for a walk,
let’s kick at piles of leaves, and smile and laugh and talk.
slow down mummy, you look ever so tired,
come sit and snuggle under the duvet, and rest with me a while.
slow down mummy, those dirty dishes can wait,
slow down mummy, let’s have some fun - bake a cake!
slow down mummy, I know you work a lot,
but sometimes mummy, it’s nice when you just stop.
sit with us a minute,
and listen to our day,
spend a cherished moment,
because our childhood won’t stay!




made me cry...must remember this EVERYDAY....think I'll make it my phone screensaver as sometimes I think I pay IT more attention than I do my kids...not true....but could be!

a weekend of scrapping

2 months really? since I blogged???? how slack. my excuse has been I've been shedding 12 kgs....yep 12kgs...so exercise and eating right have taken over my mindset and my TIME...and sadly scrapping and blogging and most other stuff has taken a back seat.

But the inaugural SCRAP AND CHAT RETREAT was held on the weekend just passed and I must say it was a great weekend. 26 ladies all scrapping, eating, drinking, laughing, chatting, running, well Jasmine Shea and I went for a run each day, we had to to combat the ridiculous amount of food consumed!

So I only managed 11 layouts, one which was a blind scrap run by the owner of SFS herself Peta Macbeth.

Here are a couple of the layouts. The rest I will share over the next few days.

Stuck! 15 April sketch

Anna's Craft Cupboard sketch

and retreat photos will follow.

and it's on AGAIN NEXT YEAR, same time hopefully, last weekend in April, with a three night option. Spots will be limited, smaller retreat under 30 people so it will be first in with deposit best dressed.
