Seven random facts


It feels like a very long time since I last blogged. I'm on a mission at the moment, firstly to spend less time on the tinterweb...not easy when there are so many wonderful blogs to read. And secondly, I'm also on a bid to become more organised so that when Jamie starts school this week and Rosie is in nursery I can have guilt free time to craft, or just sit with my feet up and read blogs.
The layout above was one I did at my local crop on Saturday. I've probably mentioned before that I've decided it's about time I appeared in my scrapbooks. Having not had kids until my mid/late thirties I have visions of any Grandchildren not having a clue who I am as I will have long since passed away, that's assuming my two, firstly have children and secondly, leave it until the age I did.
So, back to the layout, "Seven Random Facts" and they are:
  • there is a tidy person bursting to get out of me
  • i have my nose pierced
  • never suggest I wear pink if you value your life
  • i love the autumn. It brings woolly tights and long boots to me
  • i can't resist red shoes
  • i'm a qualified reflexologist who hates feet
  • i have never had short hair and probably never will

That's it from me for now. I hope to be back soonish with my LSNED pages, or at least a post to say what I have learnt so far.

Thanks for stopping by!

SLYMI - Week 23


Ta-dah....here it is, my self portrait layout. I decided to go for nice muted tones, I guess you could say playing it safe for the first SP I've ever scrapped. I'm logging this down down to SLYMI week 23, but it could also come under week 16 - scrapping in the morning as I was up at 07:30 doing it.

I've decided that I want to do a LO so i went back through the SLYMI themes and found week 23: Self portrait. So, this is the photo I intend to use. I spent ten minutes taking shots of myself at arms length and am fairly pleased with this one. And ahhh...now you know what I look like if you haven't done one of CJ's courses that I've been on. I hadn't realised just how many freckles I have but for all my faults this is me, almost au natural (touch of lippy and mascara).
