Have you discovered Grace Farris on Instagram yet? She's a doctor/cartoonist and her observational drawings are spot on. 🙂 You can also find her on Cup of Jo.

Scrapbooking in 2021 | Off The Grid
Regular readers will know that I don't do fussy scrapbooking (unless I'm in a class at a scrapbooking retreat) and I have a soft spot for a good old fashioned grid design. My current go-to-grid-design was first seen by me on Instagram (look for snap.scrap.repeat) - I can see it being used a lot. 🙂 … Continue reading Scrapbooking in 2021 | Off The Grid
Month in Numbers | January 2021
Despite Lockdown 3.0 restricting life, January appears to have passed by quickly. Let's see what the numbers made of it. 16 online Step classes completed by me. Where would we be without free-to-access YouTube videos? 31 sessions of 10-minutes-long Pilates. It's mostly stretching but, whatever. 20,364 steps walked by me on my busiest day of … Continue reading Month in Numbers | January 2021
Scrapbooking in 2020 #18
I've filled in the last few gaps in The Boy Child's earlier albums from 2011 with a few 12x12 spreads. You'll also be able to see what the original pages looked like (the right hand images). There's the time The Boy Child was a shepherd in the Nativity (journaling tucked behind the right hand photo). … Continue reading Scrapbooking in 2020 #18
Scrapbooking in 2020 #11
I've added two more pages to my in progress Ascension album. I went back to Shimelle's 4x6 Photo Love class for a spread featuring three photos and an interactive element. I may have got a little carried away with the embellishing (scraplifted from here), but I love how it looks next to the photos. English … Continue reading Scrapbooking in 2020 #11
Life in Lockdown | Turning Negatives into Positives
I've noticed that I've been feeling more 'down' of late, and even though I know it's okay to feel all the feelings, I'd much rather focus on the positives. Travel: Comfortless Cove, Ascension Island The negative: All our travel plans for this year have been postponed or cancelled. The positive: There is still an outside … Continue reading Life in Lockdown | Turning Negatives into Positives
Life in Lockdown | Day in the Life – 28 May 2020
06.30: Alarm goes off. The Brainy One is already at work in the office. The Boy Child is still asleep. I get up, clean my teeth and have a quick wash. Dress in shorts and t-shirt. Put the first load of the day (bedding) into the washing machine and switch it on. 07.00: I leave … Continue reading Life in Lockdown | Day in the Life – 28 May 2020
Life in Lockdown | Finding the Fitness
I've always walked Tilly twice a day, sometimes more, so it was obvious fairly early on in Lockdown that walking her once a day wouldn't be enough to make up for all the swimming I wouldn't be doing. I also knew that I wasn't going to be able to do anywhere near the amount of … Continue reading Life in Lockdown | Finding the Fitness
One Little Word | Pause – March and April 2020
I'll be honest here. At the end of March, I had no idea how I would record our One Little Word. Ditto for April. And then thanks to a Saturday afternoon spent scrapbooking with The Best Friend, via the magic of Facetime, I knew ... March: It had to be Lockdown. How could it be … Continue reading One Little Word | Pause – March and April 2020
Scrapbooking in 2020 #6
We're in week 5 of lockdown and I seem to have finally found time during daylight hours for crafting. We appear to have reached an unspoken agreement where all 4 of us are happy to have alone time for an hour or so most afternoons. Tilly spends her alone time asleep. I'm still plugging away … Continue reading Scrapbooking in 2020 #6
