The lovely Mary-Lou of Patio Postcards blog pointed me recently in the direction of Brené Brown‘s new weekly gratitude practice, TGIF. Most of us would recognise TGIF as an acronym for Thank God It’s Friday, but in Brené’s world it stands for Trusting, Grateful, Inspired and Fun. Trusting: that Tilly won't need to go to the vet again … Continue reading TGIF with a Difference #5
I went back to Shimelle's 4x6 Photo Love class for inspiration on how to record the Lakeland Wedding in this year's album. I love how it's turned out and I think it might actually be my favourite layout of the year so far. By constructing a folded cardstock panel, I was able to add a … Continue reading Scrapping in 2019 #9
Did we have a joyful July? Let's see what the numbers tell us ... 8 hours of tennis at Wimbledon resulted in seeing 4 matches, taking 258 photos (bonkers!), 2 alcoholic drinks and 1 cream tea. We travelled 600 miles round trip to attend X and Y's wedding. I took 143 photos during the 6 … Continue reading Month in Numbers | July 2019
I'd suggested recently to The Boy Child that he complete another Project Life style summer journal over the school holidays - he'd do the words and I'd provide the scrapbooking element. It would be the fourth year in a row that he had done it. He wasn't, it has to be said, too keen on … Continue reading His Summer Journal
I'm pleased to have rediscovered the urge to create a few more 12x12 pages (although that's not to say I haven't enjoyed working with pocket pages recently). I added one double spread to this year's album about Guernsey - there was no need to add more, as the trip is recorded in its own album. … Continue reading Scrapping in 2019 #8

Reading: Nightingale Point by Luan Goldie (review to follow). Processing: 143 photos from our first wedding of the summer. Making: the 6x8 album needed for … Continue reading Right Now …
Four more spreads have been added to my 'Thrive' traveler's notebook: That visit to the Royal Hospital Chelsea ... That magical outing ... The Brother's birthday ... That day at Wimbledon ... What have you been creating?
Taken as a whole, I loved this project. I missed just one day out of the 100 and didn't stress about it. Three of my five targeted projects were finished (and I'm seriously glad to have The History Project done and dusted) and the remaining two are further along than they were 100 days ago. … Continue reading The 100 Day Project | The End
Having worked on the Guernsey album recently, pocket page scrapbooking has definitely been the method of choice these last few weeks, but I did find time to make two 12x12 pages. First up is a page about meeting up with The Brother on his birthday. He's not the sort of chap to make a fuss, … Continue reading Scrapping in 2019 #7
Did June turn out to be joyful? I began the spread by adding some visual interest to my Project Life cards. I don't know why I haven't stitched on them before now. Let's take a look at the numbers: A fantastic 4 hours were spent at the Warner Bros Studio Tour (home of the Harry … Continue reading Month in Numbers | June 2019
