Bo Bunny Family Chipboard Album


I've had this bare Family album for ages and keep doing a bit here and there- so I decided to get to it and finish it this weekend. It's one of those projects that I really enjoyed doing and made a change - think I might get another one very soon ! It's also middle son's 21st birthday tomorrow and I picked the cake up - and of course he had to have a look! Am off to try and get a mini album made with some photos of his Uni year. Have had the worst headache today so hope it continues to hold off so I can get his mini album done.

Time Layout




Blimey - two blogs in one day !
Well - here we go,my first layout for the My Freedom class. I did a page for the inside first page too.It's the'Time'layout.By the way - the random orange button on the left side shouldn't be there!Yay,I feel like I've caught up a bit now..I'm loving the way Shimelle does this,she gets you to think about different things and then it all comes together - roll on the next few weeks !

Catching Up - Stop the Clocks


I've missed blogging a couple of promts from Shimelle's class,one of them was name a poem that has inspired you or means something to you. Well - not being really into poetry,the only one that sticks in my mind and actually had an effect on me was the one that John Hannah recited in Four Weddings and a Funeral- 'Stop the Clocks' that always gets me when I hear that and the way he delivered it in the film really moved me- especially as it was s fun film too. So that being a bit depressing,music plays a big part in our household and many many lyrics are very special.Here is a snippet of the lyrics from 'Melee' 'Built to last ' It's a great song and has really meaningful lyrics - a real singalongy song too.Am now off to finish my 'Time'and 'Travel' layouts - am loving this class.

I've looked for love in stranger places
but never found someone like you
someone whose smile
makes me feel I've been holding back
and now there's nothing I can't do

cause this is real, and this is good
it warms the inside just like it should
but most of all
most of all, it's built to last
it's built to last

now look, where we are
you're in my heart now
and there's no escaping it for you

cause this is real, and this is good
it warms the inside just like it should
but most of all
most of all, it's built to last

walking on the hills at night
with those fireworks and candlelight
you and I were made to get love right
