Had to be Scrapped

I knew that I had to scrapbook the images of the guys in dress uniform actually the term is undress uniform, not sure why but I do know they are oh so smart.

My man, Chris, he will soon have lost 4 stone in weight and he looks amazing for it don’t you think?

Then there's Craig our nephew. I had to take lots of photo’s as my mother in Law would like one for the album

and another page of the two of them together.

Romancing Paper Pack

I have mostly in my time given away freely to my readers papers that I have designed, I can spend days at a time creating these and so this time I am asking a small fee for my papers, this new set is beautiful so I think a £1 charge isn’t asking too much it works out at 20 pence per sheet.

The Carpenter and his Apprentice

Quite inspirational how quickly one learns Jack not yet four is eager to learn and is something of a sponge taking everything in that he he told. Concentration is the key and he is relentless in his questions. I have always been a firm believer in telling children the truth when they ask a question, I know my two girls ordered it and if you tried to fob them off after they asked for an explanation on something they would accept the truth far better than a white lie.

Jack also demands this, so as best we can we try to explain things truthfully. He loves to do work of any kind, he asked his Grandad if when he slept over if he could do some work in the shed with real tools, of course his Grandad agreed not thinking that he would remember but of course he did remember and although it was a bitter cold day out they went to the shed.

look at the concentration in his little face, on the top image he even has his tongue out, both his Grandad and his Mum does this when they concentrate ha ha!

Can you believe he never hit his or his Grandads fingers even once.

I asked him what he was making, he told me it was going to be a new wall for me.

They then decided to make a sword, Grandad cut out the pieces and Jack screwed them together.

So Captain Jack now has a sword, we even cut out some stickers to decorate it.

I’ve started a Smash Book

I’m not sure how many of you will know about the Smash Book by K&Co but I guess some of you will have heard about them, basically it is somewhere that you can write a scrappy journal about likes and dislikes and general things you have going on, a bit of a diary if you like but one that you craft together.

This is mine I got my Smash Book at Ribbon Carousel 

You get a pen and glue stick loads of ideas and there is loads of Smash book embellishments you can get.

This is a few embellishments that I have.

 

So next up is to decide what you want to journal about,  thought that I would write about me starting cycling.

So this is my first page giving some of the goals that I’d like to achieve.

The possibilities are endless, they even have a dedicated blog for inspiration. http://www.smashstoriesblog.com/

I happen to be a little OCD I think as I just can’t bring myself to take the cover wrapping off the book yet.

Jacks First Suit Oh My!

Well we trailed the streets on Saturday searching for Christmas presents although we have something already for Jack he is in need of a new coat so we thought we would get that too, we ended up in Marks and Spenser and soon spotted the perfect coat to keep him warm and toasty, then Chris spotted it, “we have to get it” he said so we bought a Christmas outfit for him too, he has his nursery party and then of course there is Christmas day.

So here it is, Jack’s first suit. and doesn't he look dapper? and only 3 years old.

I immediately thought I should scrapbook this so I used My Memories Suite and made a couple of pages.

Gosh I love this little guy.

Jack's Video

I love this little guy so much.

 

 

My Memories Suite even allows me to make the albums into video's how cool is that?

The Incredible Jack Hulk

Kids just love Halloween don't they?

Whilst for use older adults it can be a pain in the behind, the older kids coming around late on a night long before Halloween night and it’s not toffee apples they are after, it’s hard cash and when they don’t get it we get a mouthful of abuse (sigh)

Our Family have always done Halloween but none of our children go to strangers houses, we only go to family and close friends and we arrange it before the event. This way we aren’t bothering anyone, if only all Mums and Dads did this.

So Last night we were the first stop for Jack to come knocking, he certainly wasn’t disappointed with his goody bag and he roared and acted the part perfectly.

How did your night go?

I used the My Memories Suite to make the layouts. Also all papers and elements are from the Echo Park Chillingworth Manor digi kit from Jessica Sprague

Riding the Waves

Well seeming at though we have had a massive downpour all day I needed something to cheer me up, I even stooped so low to put on the heating, well that was until Chris informed me that I was melting his skin with the heat.

Grandson Jack has just had another holiday and Granda Chris gave him some pennies to buy an inflatable for the pool.

I could seriously kiss his face off. This is him was his Mam Lauren (daughter)
