Apples!

Some with teeth marks, some half eaten, all discarded. Rosie is having a marathon apple eating session today. She has yet to completely finish one but I've been finding them all over the place. This one was tucked on the radiator in the living room, but I have also found one in Chris' shoe.

A little something to tuck in my bag. My gorillapod slr.

Dancing Queens CJ...

Today I have received Nicola's (ander06 on UKS), "I wish I knew then..." circle journal. As the next posting date is just a week away I decided I'd better get cracking with it. So I spent a couple of hours mulling over some ideas (that's extremely hard work for me) and had a rummage through my stash. The result is it's almost complete. So here is a sneak peek of my contribution to it.

My new laptop - at last. Our old one has given up the ghost - it just won't charge, so we decided to buy a new one. This one is super sleek and black, but best of all it will read SDHC cards! Yay!!! It's amazing how much I have missed having a laptop, at least I can keep an eye on what the kids are up to again..... speaking of which....

One of the many chores I need to do is sort out the kids toys. I've just had some RUB boxes delivered to help get everything organised, well, when I say everything...you can live in hope. This Squirrel game is a good example. It once had a little tree in the centre to pour the balls down so the squirrels could catch them. It once had hundreds of balls. Now, it's tree less, has one ball and has been abandoned.

Footie anyone?

Such a lovely sunny day - so why waste it indoors. Well, I didn't waste it, I scrapped. I did scrap outdoor photo's though in my defense.

This LO is of Jamie and Rosie playing football in the garden a couple of weeks ago. I've used the scrapagogo April Showers kit, along with a few bits from past kits, stash and of course my new threads, flairs and a journaling card.

TFL!

A touch of Shabby Chic....

Something that I have loved since subbing to Scrapagogo is being introduced to new companies. Shabby Chic is one of them, I just adore the journaling cards they produce and recently I decided to look them up on t'tinterweb. As a result I have found that they have a sister company - Blueberry Freckles, where they sell printable tags.

This little selection, at just 1 3/4" x 3 1/4" , will be available via Blueberry Freckles in the next week but as I was cunning and subscribed to the newsletter - they were free. While these have been printed onto white cardstock, but I'm wondering how they will look on some Kraft cardstock.

Why not give them a visit and sign up to the newsletter, hopefully the next time round there will be more freebies with it to print out.

This morning I have had a cup of tea in my favourite mug. Being my favourite mug I thought it should make an entry somewhere along the line. It was part of a leaving present that was given to me years ago.

The sun is shining and I've gone all Kim & Aggie! Sunday I treated myself (again...I do seem to do a lot of that don't I...) this time to a new mop! Whhhooooo, I hear you cry. LOL. Sad part is I couldn't wait to get home and give it a go on the bathroom floors. That was delayed though when I couldn't find the squeegee bit for the bucket, so ended up buying a new bucket as well.

Never let it be said that I don't know how to live.....

"38 Skeins Embroidery Thread - assort. of colours."

My latest online shopping arrived today. Not bad for £3.99. That's it, I'm on a diet again now, no more stash shopping.

Another wonder around the garden to see what I could see. Unfortunately I can't remember what this is. It's one of what felt like a million bulbs I planted last October. I didn't notice at the time of taking the photo that it had a visitor either.

What a lot of Flair!

Every so often I have a wonder around the QVC craft site and see if they have anything, after P&P that is worth ordering. I found these, American Craft Flairs...10 packets to be precise so this is just a selection of the ones that arrived today. I just love them. No idea what I'll use them on, but I'm sure a few will make their way on to birthday cards...that is when I can bring myself to part with them.

A mundane day today, but no less stressful. For some reason, only known to himself, Jamie insists on running around the house screaming while I vacuum. As if the noise of the vacuum is some how not enough to give me a headache he has got to make sure I get one. Unfortunately the weather is warming up and Merrell is already shedding her fur, so I need to vacuum more often at the moment. Paracetamol anyone...?

I do have a hopeful side when it comes to all this extra vacuuming...that my current one will give up the ghost and be deemed unrepairable so I can have one of those nice ball ones Dyson now do. I do mention to Chris that I want one everytime I see the advert.

This week is the first module for CJ's People Imagery course. After loving Painting with Light I just had to give this one a go. So, for today, may I present my final selection of photo's taken of Rosie. I've spent half the day trying to get them, then go through them (200 shots in all), so it seemed fitting that this was also my 365 photo.

Over the weekend the radiator in the utility room developed a small hole, so we decided rather than calling out a plumber to change it, we'd do it ourselves. Many hours later after draining and flushing and a few sweet words - ta dah....one new radiator.
