Good Memories

Thought these papers would be ideal for these two photos of Alex taken when he was about two (he's now 17!!!) listening to some music on his Dad's headphones (how big are they!!!!). Just goes to show that at that tender young age he loved music and now he's always listening to his songs even though I don't know who half of them are anymore!!

Autumn/Fall

Loving this time of year. The mornings are crisp, the sky is blue and the trees look lovely all golden brown and yellow. Great photo opportunities to be had as well and I couldn't resist buying this Fall Postcard (png file) from Jessica Sprague today for only $1.00. There are some other $1 frames and masks on there as well but only for today.

Knitting

My Nan is a great knitter. When I went to see her yesterday she had a huge basket full of knitted squares she had done ready to be made into a huge blanket!! Couldn't resist taking some photos of her with her blanket and to do a photo collage telling the story about her knitting ready to put on a scrapbook page at some point.

Half Term Week

Been a fairly quiet week so far. Spent a couple of days just chilling at home. Yesterday I went to see my Nan and had a walk round the Cathedral and took some more photos. The weather has been glorious the last couple of days, blue skies and upto 17C, not normal for this time of year. Today I went into the city with my friend Angela to do some shopping and treat ourselves to a nice lunch. We went to a restaurant called Wagamamas and I had a chicken & squash curry with rice which was yummy. Bought myself an early birthday present as well! I need a warm coat for walking Lucy and found one in Next of all places not that its cold enough for coats yet. Love this one though as its long enough to cover my bum, just what you need on a cold and frosty morning!!

This mornings walk was lovely, blue skies, sun and mist, my favourite! Trees are looking all autumny. Hoping to go to Holt Country Park in the morning for a walk and then in the afternoon owl spotting if the weather holds out.

My Prizes!

I won a Stampin Up prize a couple of weeks ago on Suzanne's blog and the parcel arrived today. Very pleased with what I got and can't wait to make some Xmas cards this week with one of the sets.I managed to do one layout this afternoon using some left over Cosmo Cricket papers using a 6x12 format which I havn't done for ages.
An evening ahead of watching my programmes tonight - catch up on Doc Martin and Trinity!!!

The Weekend

The weekend zoomed by again! Saturday was spent doing mundane things like going to the supermarket, The Range, Staples etc. Sunday was spent tidying my craft room at long last. I still had Kim's shelves and boxes full of her stuff from when we decorated her bedroom months and months ago that she hadn't sorted out so Sunday was the day. I share the craft room with a couple of ladders (don't ask!!!) and a vacuum cleaner so not much room in there really but after a good tidy and sort out looks alot better. One day I will get round to painting it a nice lighter colour and would love some Ikea expedit shelves and have storage all matching. One day.

Yesterday afternoon we took Lucy for a walk to one of our newer places that we found, it was around 3.30pm and as the clocks went back Saturday night it was starting to get dull. I just said this is the ideal place for owls - theres a barn, water, fields - and then we saw one!! A lovely barn owl looking for his dinner. He was across the other side of a field from us so abit too far away for good photos but he was out hunting for ages. We are going to go back and set ourselves up in a better spot sometime this week and hopefully get that 'ideal' owl photo I'm after.

Well all my chores are done. Kim has gone into the city with her friends clothes shopping, Alex has gone to his girlfriends so its just me and Lucy, again!!! Going to have my lunch - fresh picked home grown tomato sandwiches and go and mess up my tidy craft room!!!
