There's only been one topic on my craft desk of late ... my beloved New York City. A three day visit doesn't make that many pages, so there a few pocket pages and a few double page spreads. There's a generic spread for our 2018 album. And by reusing the design, there's a double spread … Continue reading Scrapping in 2018 #3
Let's see if March turned out to be marvellous ...: There was just one day this month when school closed because of heavy snowfall. 270 lengths of the pool in the gym. A better than expected total given that I missed a week because of a heavy cold. 15 scrapbook pages made this month. Most … Continue reading Month in Numbers| March 2018
As of today, 3rd April, I'm taking part in #100dayproject. It's a project designed to unleash your creativity, each and every day for 100 consecutive days. Don't be put off by the length of time the project runs for; the idea is simply to be creative each day. If you're a scrapbooker, like me, … Continue reading 100 Day Project

I'm becoming quite attached to my One Little Word Traveler's Notebook. (We Brits would ordinarily use two 'l's ...) It sits on the side of my desk, nestled up to the keyboard, which means it's hard to ignore. And that's a good thing, because I began 2018 with the desire to record the moments that … Continue reading OLW – Nourish & the Traveler’s Notebook
I began 2018 with a title page for the coming year's album. As luck would have it, I was able to find three recent photos where we were all wearing red and took it from there. I was astonished by how many 'likes' this image received on Instagram.There's been a page about The Boy Child's … Continue reading Scrapping 2018
There was a time when every January, I signed up for Ali Edwards' year-long One Little Word workshop. It invariably went one of two ways: I stopped participating after 3 or 4 months, because I didn't feel Ali's suggestions weren't working for me, or I finished the 12 months and had a skinny (and usually odd-sized) album I … Continue reading Recording My One Little Word in 2018
I find January to be a month that usually drags its feet. Not this time around. Let's see how it worked out: 4: the number of pages in the application form issued by Guide Dogs for the Blind. All so we could apply to rehome a dog who has been withdrawn from training. 270: the number of … Continue reading Month in Numbers | January 2018
Happy New Year to you and yours! The last quarter of 2017 saw me giving this blog a lot of thought. Not about stopping (as so many favourite bloggers appear to have done in 2017), but more about the direction and content. Earlier in the year, someone had told me that my blog was all … Continue reading Blog Review | 2017
