I've added more pocket page spreads to what will become my Ascension Island album: A double spread about that time I went out to sea on an ocean-going oil tanker ... I had quite a lot to say. And a single spread about the afternoon I hiked up Green Mountain with pals (and the reason … Continue reading Scrapbooking in 2020 #10
I completed a double page spread for The Boy Child's album. This will sit in his album behind the homeschooling spread. The design inspiration came from one seen on page 70 of the current edition (Summer 2020) of Scrapbook and Cards Today magazine: I've also begun to scrap some of my old photos from when … Continue reading Scrapbooking in 2020 #9
Another 30 days at, or very near home, but that didn't mean that June wasn't joyful.

The novelty has long … Continue reading Month in Numbers | June 2020

Not much has been added to the Covid-19 journal of late, because I'm using our Project Life album for the every day stuff. There's only so much Lockdown that needs to be recorded, isn't there? I have, however, added Day in the Life from the end of May. I copied and pasted the text from … Continue reading Covid-19 | The Journal | Part 4
My creative mojo has been missing of late; I didn't create a traditional 12x12 page for almost a month. Earlier this week, I went back to basics. I returned to one of my favourite online classes for photos of our great nephews - Shimelle's 4x6 Photo Love class. Sometimes, simplicity is key. I made a … Continue reading Scrapbooking in 2020 #8
Week 21: It was week 10 of Lockdown and I found it hard going ... but the positives were there. 🙂 Week 22: A much better week. The three rose bushes I planted in the first week of Lockdown are now flowering and they are glorious. Step aerobics and I are falling back into a … Continue reading Project Life Revisited | Weeks 21 and 22
Two months in and I love this project! It's been a real blast down Memory Lane; remembering events and/or people I haven't thought about in years. I've been surprised by a number of things: I write exactly as I think, without worrying too much about spelling and a correctly placed comma. The more I've thought … Continue reading The 100 Day Project | Two Months In

The lowest amount in months. 7 online Step classes. 15,484: My highest … Continue reading Month in Numbers | May 2020
Week 19: I finished listening to 13 Minutes to the Moon (via BBC Sounds and the BBC World Service). I might have purchased a pair of funky gold trainers from Boden. We had a Champagne Afternoon Tea to commemorate VE Day. I had an hour to myself and caught up on Series 5 of Outlander … Continue reading Project Life Revisited | Weeks 19 and 20
