2nd post in as many days!!!!!!!

Following on from the other day when mojo was present, I forgot to post this one inspired by  the Like Forever Kit layouts and using the first kit I got from them. I added some die cuts from my stash for the title.

Hello poor neglected blog.

So easy to get distracted by life and not by the fun things. It was crop day yesterday and as always I got fired up and produced more when I got home. I'm following an online class at the moment involving using all those pesky die-cuts that we normally end up throwing away. When completed I will put them all on here but in the meantime here is what I did at home in the evening:
The first one was a quality time lunch with my eldest in Manchester. Loverly.

The second one is also of Michael and was taken on christmas day at my sister in law's house where we had a great time.

This third one is of hubby's niece who is just the nicest young lady-love her to bits. The idea for this one came from somewhere but I can't remember where so can't credit.

Hope you likey. Thanks for looking and see you soon.

I remember

a few weeks ago now before I became newly obsessed with knitting. My husband says it happens every few years and when he saw my knitting needles out asked me how long I would be knitting for this time? Several scarfs, shawls and cards later I decide today to scrap a photo of son no.1. 
Admittedly it felt a bit strange to get the ol' sprays out but it was fun to do so.

more wedding

Clive's nephew got married in the summer and I managed to catch this photo of the bride and groom with Michael having a good time. It looks like they are singing along to Bruce as this is their normal Bruce stance.
I saw this layout whilst blog surfing and knew I wanted to lift it-the colours cry out to me-adding some die cuts around the photo itself.

weird and wonderful

So, you know I love weird and wonderful arty things and what better than this great ape or the reflection of a car wheel in a puddle, both begging to be photographed.

Not so weird but most definitely wonderful is a rare lunch with No.1 son.

Cropping.

Yesterday was our girly crop day and we all managed to produce something. Here's mine:
I've mentioned before that whenever we go away and wherever we go, we always come across a wedding. Marbella was no exception and here is the wedding car.

The ideal thing about cut files is that you can use all the scraps that you have left over from whole sheets and thats what I did here for this photo of Steven. Yes, another photo of Steven, primarily because Michael won't let me take pictures of him.

The last one is of Whitstable-again. It was so lovely to see children crabbing in October when you think we should be huddled up by a cosy fire. I even managed to use some dies that I never thought I would.

My hommage

...to Paris. As a francophile who once lived there and feels strong ties to this beautiful city of light, I knew I had to pay homage in some small way. What else but to create something and write a little bit about my feelings.
I'd had the chipboard tower for about 15 years and never used it despite taking photos of the eiffel tower every timeI'm in Paris. I'd obviously been saving it for some unknown reason that suddenly became clear after the events of last week. I am so used to hearing about daily bombings and terrorist attempts but when it happens in Europe so close to home it is shocking in the true sense of the word.
