Collectively Yours Challenge


The challenge this week is to do a LO using multiple photo's ... so here's mine. It's a layout of Dill our second greyhound who sadly passed away two years ago aged only 7 from bone cancer. I wanted to create a simple LO so the focus was on the photo's and journeling. I usually use just one photo on my layouts and yet I've done two this week using multiple's .... and enjoyed it!

Well it's been raining since 10am YESTERDAY with no sign of it stopping... Dogs are pretty darn fed up I can tell you.

Just been speaking to my brother and family in America via the webcam, don't think I'll ever get used to being able to see them and speak to them when they are so far away. The first time we did it I cried buckets. It's lovely to be able to see my little neice Katie and somehow it doesn't seem quite so bad with them being over there when you can see and talk. Katie was only 2 when they left and is now 4 and sounds like a real little American, she has a lovely accent and has just graduated from Kindergarten ..We used to use MSN but the quality of the picture and the time lag were a pain, now we use skype which has a much better picture quality with hardly any time lag in the speech.

I'm all on my own for reason to be divulged tomorrow (don't want to jinx anything)... watch this space.

Lavish use of ....... Brads



This is a LO from the Design Collective week 6 Class 1 .. By Kirsty Wiseman to use brads and boy did I ... my fingers still hurt from opening all the split pins LOL... I have decided to link it to the challenge on "Collectively Yours" my first time LOL. Also the first time I've scanned and stitched a LO (because I'm rubbish at taking photo's) but have ended up with a nasty shadow on the LO which isn't there really. Oh well back to the drawing board.

It's been a frustrating day had so much to do and just seemed to flit from one thing to another without really knuckling done to anything, so have bits of paper scattered all over my desk with lists of half finished jobs. Added to spending nearly all day with a telephone attached to my ear trying to get tickets for the Blackpool playoffs at Wembley for son (no we don't live in Blackpool but he has supported them for years and regulars travels to watch them) who I might add is off enjoying himself at Alton Towers. The ticket line has been PET all day (permanently engaged tone) can you guess I was once a BT operator....and there not taking internet bookings.

Had a wonderful day at the crop Saturday where I did the Rocky LO and Sunday we finally got the pots and baskets done yay !!!

Mac had is follow up appt at the vets after his dental and got the all clear.
