No time for scrapbooking!

Out of all of my crafts which have suffered due to the lack of time for me since my baby became a toddler, is scrap-booking!
I started a ‘baby album’ for Jake a year ago and have only managed 5 layouts! There is no way I’m going to get it finished before the new baby arrives [...]
Memories…

I have kept a memory box for as long as I can remember, just bits and bobs I’ve collected in a box throughout the years to remind me of things I’ve done that were important to me. Therefore I knew as soon as my first son was born I would do the same for him [...]
Not an easy Gift ……

Well this is the hardest gift I have ever had to decide on. Today is the 1st Birthday/Anniversary of my friends baby who sadly passed away a few hours after he was born. I didn’t want to take just flowers to the grave as it just doesn’t seem suitable for a one year old and just [...]

I don’t think I have blogged about my breadmaker yet? Probably because it’s not been used for the past couple of weeks. It is by far my best Freecycle item yet! For those of you who are not familiar with Freecycle, The Freecycle Network™ is made up of 4,528 groups with 5,362,000 members across the globe. [...]

After receiving the fab postcard the other day i’ve been doing a bit of searching Flickr and found somemore of Yoshitomo Nara’s pictures, I really like them I think they are great – especially the eyes!! He is exhibiting his work at the moment in the UK, but in Gateshead – so highly unlikely I’ll [...]

I’ve received a brilliant parcel today from the musical Scavenger swap on Swapbot! Thanks Leigh! The Cd is really good, a lot of things I haven’t heard before and some Evanescense songs – who I love. Here’s the play list:
Colorblind – Counting Crows (Dark Song)
The Infanta – The Decemberists (a song about Royalty)
We both go [...]
