School victorian day

Aeron had to dress up to go to school yesterday as it was 'Victorian day' where they spent the day sampling vicorian school life- I thought it was such a fantastic idea. He really enjoyed it.

He did look very cute!

Over the last few weeks I have had scrapbook Apprentice work to do, a birthday 2 birthday parties to organise and co-ordinate, my dads memorial party, a trip to swansea and 4 out of 5 of us being ill!!! And then you realise you havent even started your xmas shopping!!

Anyhows I am waiting in for my kit stash which will hopefully be ready by the end of the week! I can let you know that its Dream street papers (the Simply Stated range) Am loving black and white papers at the moment- as soon as they arrive I will post a sneek for you :)

The stashaholics team did the team challenge over on uks a few weeks back here was my attempt - did anyone notice the 7inch LP?? The challenge was to use old stash and recycled things!

Well I have been busy - my scrapping stash had finally started no taken over my dining room!! One whole sideof the room was covered with boxes full of stash!! I promised James I would sort it, so persuaded him to take me up to Ikea for some new storage.

I spent all weekendsorting through my stash, and sorting my buttons (which have now all been sorted in to jarsby colour- they look sooooo pretty!! I knew I had alot but really I have alot of buttons!!! I find my space in the dining room works so much better now especially for scrapbooking!!

Talking of scrapbooking I have a few sneek peeks for you that I have been working on for the scrapbook apprentice!! I had to make 2 layouts and 2 cards and I really dont like making cards- its just not my thing!!

Oh my boys are argueing!! back in school tommorrow though!!
We had a lovely day out on sat, we went down to St Fagans near Cardiff, it is really good the entrance was free so all we had to pay for was getting there and parking. The celtic village was my fave bit (even if I did come out smelling like a bonfire!!)

My only boy that would dress up was Calann, I turned the pics to sepia when I got home.
James took this really lovely one of my - do you like my hat?

These huts were great you could see and smeel the smoke a mile off- I coughed when I went in -lol I am a wimp!!

Pumpkin fun

Today the 12 scrapbook apprentices were announced- I am one of them!!!


I love halloween- its one of my favourite times of year!! (It always helps that my b'day was the day before) We bought 4 pumpkins Well 1 pumpkin and 3 munchkins!! I helped the boys carve theirs but ran out of time to do mine as I went shopping.


I am very fortunate the family gave me money for my birthday which meant I could buy some dresses I have had my eye on (5 in total (but 3 totalled £9) I loooovvvvvveeee shopping for clothes!! James bought me the pride and predjudice (the 90s version!!) I love it!! he also bought me a hot knife!! which is a soldering iron with a craft knife blade to making cutting really easy!! (I am such a cheat!!)
This pic of Ev makes me laugh!! - You can just see him saying 'mum stop taking photos!!'The cheeky boy started to knock the munchkins on the grass- the grin!!!
