Every project starts with a first step and with the 100 Day Project, there is no need to reinvent the wheel. For this year's first step, I chose to create a revamped page for our 2009 album. I used a simple design from Shimelle's 4x6 Photo Love class. And if you're curious, here's what the … Continue reading The 100 Day Project 2023 | Making a Start

The thing about making several pages using the same design is that they invariably end up in different albums, so nobody is any the wiser . 🙂 (And I am closer to having a full set of gap-free albums.) Having said that, these two are side-by-side in The Boy's album. But this one below now … Continue reading Scrapbooking in 2021 | Filling in More Gaps
This year's word of heart is being recorded simply - one 12x12 scrapbook page a month.

(The Brainy One and The Boy walk her in the … Continue reading Month in Numbers | February 2021
Week 35: It was a quiet week, with not many photos. Tilly was happy to snooze the morning away after her walk. We walked in the grounds of Pitzhanger Manor. Saturday night suppers are homemade pizzas. 🙂 Week 36: I travelled on public transport for the first time in 6 months. I spent two mornings … Continue reading Project Life Revisited | Weeks 35 and 36

Day 1: Leaving school uniform shopping until the end of the school holidays doesn't work. The Boy Child … Continue reading Learn Something New Every Day | September 2020 | Days 1-5
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
"GET AWAY FROM MY MUM!" During our recent visit to Kew Gardens, we had an encounter with a lady who didn't appear to understand the concept of socially-distancing.
