Shiny head club :-)

It's a bit of a joke in our house - my other half always has the mickey taken out of him about his 'shiny head'. I must add that he is very quite capable of dishing out a lot bit of mickey taking and does take it back well...
I had this photo from our holiday and was going to make a layout- when the boys joked that it looked a bit 'shiny head clubby' so it put me off and I left it out..don't ask me why, but I was fiddling about with some pink and bluey scraps of paper  last night- one being the really glitzy shiny glittery My Mind's Eye paper left from Ann's class at the Eclectic Crop,and the idea just came to me to use the shiny head photo on the shiny paper.

 

I sprayed quite a lot of glimmer mist over the whole thing too..

Just to make sure it was shiny!

Back AND front !

When our son graduated last year, I took the usual 'lots' of photos and have scrapped some of the main ones that I really liked, but as always - I still have quite a lot that I love and haven't done anything with.
I kept saying before and on the day 'we must get a photo of your back as well as your front' and it became a bit of a leg pull for the others about me - mum wants a picture of the back etc etc.... so without further ado  here it is. I used Sandra's  latest  Gottacraft kit -which as always had a great mix of papers and embellishments,I added some of my own letters for the title.

LSNED day 19

I  learned that - I am a very bad girl when I see new Christmas papers and things...I've ordered some of this...

and one of these......

It's fun having something to look forward to making though isn't it??

What with these and  my card kit I should be kept quiet for ages AND totally organised ..... (hmmmmm) !

LSNED day 18

I learned something today that I kind of already knew ......
It really really does make such a difference to a certain male person's mood around here when he comes home from watching his favourite obsession team play footie and they have won- there was me minding my own business trying to take a 'self portrait' and in he comes and says- oooh let me be in it !.....

LSNED day 16 and 17

I learned on the the 16th- that when Dads are on their own in the world- and are up against it -you worry about them just as much as you do your sons...in just the same way,but are in a funny way still their little girl

Day 17 : I learned that you can get that blind put up eventually if you just drop a little hint that it's been hanging around for 3 weeks and aren't there any of the right screws available - especially if you have a willing er helper .....

LSNED 11 -15

It's weird how you go along on a roll and then you lose a day and it throws you all out - I've been keeping things in mind every day

day 11: Hinself's Alice Cooper obsession will never wane

day 12: I love to sit and do a bit of hooking when there is lots going on round me - it calms me.

day 13:Worrying all day about having a troublesome tooth out doesn't help at all !

day 14:I really can't create in a 7 inch square of space in my craft room - I must put  punches and things away as soon as I 've used  them.

Cue embarrasing photo...... perhaps  if I post it small it won't look so bad .....

day 15: my reasons for doing this ...I haven't really stuck rigidly to Shimelle's prompts but this year I'm doing it more as a kind of diary for me and I'm enjoying  it. I really like looking back on these projects year after year to see how life has changed for me.This time last year i was looking forward to seeing Michael Flatley.
 Three layouts from exactly this time last year - has my style changed ? don't think so - and I still love that pale blue and white damasky Jenni Bowlin paper!  do you have one ( or more ) papers that you absolutely love and no matter how old it is you still love using it?

4 x 6 Photo Love *7*

Shimelle is certainly keeping me busy  lately and I must admit I am rather likiing it....
I've loosely tried to keep up with LSNED this week,so will be blogging pages soon.
I certainly learned yesterday that worrying all day about having a troublesome tooth out didn't help one little bit - and the more you worry - the worse you feel so it's best not to.
Here's my July photo love layout - better late than never eh?
