Bubbly Funk May Kit

My photo album I made from the Bubbly Funk May Kit. I've decorated the inside pages but am yet to print out my black and white photos to add to it. Watch this space, they'll be here soon!

Freya's story book

Freya asked me to make her a notebook so that she can write all her stories in, so I made her one yesterday. She chose the papers and how she wanted it decorated, I just did the work for her.

When complete, I wrote a little note just for her inside the front cover. It read "To the most beautiful daughter that a Mummy could have. You are more precious to me than life itself. I will love you always, you are a 'mini me!' Lots of love, Mummy xx"

She read the words and had a little think, walked away with her book and came back a few minutes later with a reply, written inside the back cover, just for me. It reads "This is the only thing I will have when my mummy dies. It will remind me of the kind, loving and creative person she was"

How can I add to that...?

My family

I've challenged myself today to take some photos of me and my family. I took them in colour and converted to black and white for a uniformed look. Mind you I did make sure we were all in white shirts to start off with, so here they are:

My book of things to do!

Not that I have a bad memory and am forgetful or anything, but inspired by making the Bubbly Funk Summer Notebook, I decided to cover my book of Things To Do to make it look pretty (well I think so anyway!), so here it is...

How to make a journal book

The slide show below shows you how to start and make your own 6" x 6" (15cm x 15cm) square book similar to a scrapbook.

Over on the Bubbly Funk Forum we have a new swap starting called 'Where I Live'. The aim is to start yourself a book on where you live. All those involved will create a pair of 6"x6" (15cm x 15cm) pages on their home town for each member of the swap. These will then be distributed out in 'sets' once they're all done. The end result? We will each have our own book of our own home town along with a double page spread of where our Bubbly friends also live.

Never done him before!

Oooerrr missus! LOL Don't know why, but I've never scrapped a page featuring Will before so made a determined effort last night to make this LO. Am pretty pleased with it too. The tag is so true - he IS a part of me, and has been for as long as I can remember.

I've been tagged (again!)

Thanks to Kathy (http://kathybsworlduk.blogspot.com/) I've been tagged. I have to tell you 5-10 ways that I come up with things to put on my blog. Well here goes...

1. If I think it ain't too boring, I blog it.

2. If I'm still awake after 5 minutes of thinking about it, I blog it.

3. If I make it and I think that it's semi decent, I blog it.

4. If it'll give you a laugh, I blog it.

5. If it won't give you a laugh, I blog it.

6. If I'm proud of it, I blog it.

Get the drift ;)

Right over to you - Caroline, DiO, CrazyDaisy, Beth, Kaz & Sam

OoOh, and by the way, I loaded up a photo of me in the lorry I drove!

Guess what I did yesterday?

Am such an excited bunny! We were down our yard which is situated on a disused airfield yesterday as Will had to take some promo photos for a brochure and our website at work. My boss told me to get in one of the lorries and drive it - so I did!!!!! All I needed was a Yorkie in my hand and the crack of my bum showing for all the world to see and then I'd be a proper lorry driver!!! LURVED every minute of it and went round the airfield twice just for fun! Never hit a thing (mind you the hare I aimed at was running pretty quickly and I could hardly follow it into the middle of the rapeseed oil crop that it ran into, could I?!) Gonna see if the photo Will took can be cropped and zoomed in on and post it here when it's done.
