Is it Friday yet?

It's been a long week already and it's only Tuesday! I had hoped to do some scrapping this evening but I'm just too tired, so spent the time buying some supplies online. I can't wait till everything comes in, then I'd better get scrapping!

Looks like we might have someone to help fix the car....fingers crossed because now Roger has to use the car for work and I don't want to be walking everywhere!

Saturday night Jess, Roger and I went to the procession and fireworks display. It was a great night and the fireworks were spectacular. Roger was snapping away and fortunately got some really good shots of the fireworks. I've done a LO and will post it in the next couple of days. Back to work today after having a nice 2 weeks off, oh well all good things...

I'm really pleased with how this LO turned out. I used one of scrapdolly's tutorials and it helped me to no end! I can't wait to start on another tutorial!

I had fun doing this layout. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions on how to improve these layouts please let me know, I would really appreciate it. That's the only way to improve!

I bought brads for the first time and had to have a play, I love the look of them.

My First Album

This is my album cover. The picture does not really do it justice because of the shiny paper on the background which is very difficult to photograph. I love this picture of Jess, my youngest, taken in British Columbia.

The beginning...

Welcome to my first blog. I have no idea why I've started this or where it is headed but here it goes.

I've been on holidays for two weeks and after having purchased an absolutely dud car for my daughter a week ago Friday, I decided I needed a pick me up so started scrapbooking. I'd dabbled in it a few years ago but then life got in the way and I quickly dropped it.

This time around I'm thoroughly enjoying it. So much so that I've spent a fortune on papers and various paraphernalia, even spent an entire day creating a space for it all in the dining room. I'm pleased with my first efforts but very envious of most of the layouts I see from others. I'll get there...baby steps...yup...baby steps!
