When I finished the 100 Day Project in July last year, the RAF journals weren't finished. After more than 30 days of writing, the second journal is already looking a lot fuller. Day 100 - July 2020Day 1 - January 2021 I had a lot of fun writing about the fashions of the late 1980s … Continue reading 100 Day Project | One Month In
This year's word of heart is being recorded simply - one 12x12 scrapbook page a month. The Boy made me laugh by suggesting that he should appear every month. 🙂 In January, I chose a cute photo of our great nephews after they'd built a snowman: For February, I chose a set of photos taken … Continue reading Recording 2021’s One Little Word | Heart – January and February
I can’t say that February was fabulous; the hideous weather put paid to that. But it wasn’t a total washout.

(The Brainy One and The Boy walk her in the … Continue reading Month in Numbers | February 2021
After the announcement from Boris earlier this week, there is definitely hope that we are on the way out of this ...

Not so. All I … Continue reading Scrapbooking in 2021 | Filling in the Gaps
The grimness continued with a astonishing threat from the EU. I don't usually swear when scrapbooking but, really ...? It's paired with grief at the loss of a wonderful man. I included Captain Sir Tom's obituary and a photo of Number 10 with the Union flags at half-mast. 😦 I also included a cartoon and … Continue reading Covid-19 | The Journal, Part 11

The 2020 album is now complete - a title page and one layout for each month. 🙂 October: was about our road trip to Lacock. I adapted a design from Shimelle's 4x6 Photo Love class to suit my needs.

We're into February and life is still fairly grim. 😦 Schools across England didn't reopen after the Christmas holidays (although some did actually reopen for just one day) ... which meant that home-schooling was back on the agenda. The Boy Child's birthday present from us this year was a laptop and we gave it to … Continue reading Covid-19 | The Journal, Part 10
