Project Life - December 2012

So here our my pages for December.  Products used Studio Calico December 2012 kit, and Shimelle Christmas 2012 kit.

Starting with a lovely cobweb covered in frost, a visit to the ballet

Dressing the tree, collection James Christmas present and my handmade gifts to my friends from Preston

Having lunch with my crop friends and going out with some school mums

visit to the Bull, new Christmas ornment, and a visit to the German market in Birmingham

Then for the Christmas week, I used a different page protector - 6x4 horizontal - 

My little family christmas meal, my birthday

Part of the Christmas table, James new bike, and James and his cousins on Christmas day.

Then what we got up to over the Christmas period,

And for the final page I did a page for James birthday

Some hidden journalling on the tags - the red snowflake is a coaster that I fold in Wilkinson.

So that's it for my 2012 Project Life albums - which covers two albums.  Now I'm onto 2013 hoping the the process will be quicker this year - using the Studio Calico Project Life Kit.

Project Life - November 2012

I think this month is the one month were I've only got 3 page protectors for the whole month.

Product used : Studio Calico November kit and Simply Stories - Sn@p cards.

James have another eye test and getting some new glasses, my new IG profile photo, and James's model making, as well as seeing what Christmas jumpers look best.

2nd week - 3 trips to the City to try and get my Laptop mended, baking my Christmas Cake, Ikea, last crop of the year, and autumn leaves.

night out with some friends, spending the day with James, and going to the Grand Opening of Funky Farm Scrapbook Barn store.

A visit to see Sheena; and a Wednesday trip : shopping, cinema and lunch (the blank space is for my cinema tickets)

I organised a weekend away with my crafting buddies from the Skrapz crop, again we went to Toad Hall and once again we had a blast.

Deb made us all some delicious cupcakes, which was as yummy as they looked, and left us all wanting more.

The one thing that was planned for that weekend was a group photo, I had a break and walk down the lane and around the church ground.

And 4 of us stayed over on the Sunday night, it was great to have the extra full day of scrapping, but the room felt really different with just four of us.

So that was my November, and I've already started on my December and hoping to get that completed along side with my Journal your Christmas Album - which I haven't even started yet, but hope this year will be the one I actually finish in January.

Thanks for stopping by.

Project Life 2012 - October

As promised I'm back with my Project Life -October 2012 pages, so here goes ...

An early Birthday present from Julie was a trip to see Jesus Christ Superstar at the NIA in Birmingham, we started the evening off at the Handmade Burger Co at the Mailbox.

I actually got out of the car to take this photo, we had left NIA car park and was queueing up to get out on to the main road and I looked up and saw a lady exercising in a Gym, it was about 11pm or even later at night.  

meeting and greeting parents at a school parents evening as a Govenor; noticing how taller James now is: Ofsted meeting; loving the Autumn colours of the trees, my current coffee obsession.

I actually got 36 boxes of coffee !!!

James's 100% attendance; having some work done on our conservatory roof; my 1st crocheting project; trick or treating with James and his friends.

We spent half term in Sheringham, which included a lovely walk through the woods, and coming across this great sign post to direct us to the cafe; James still having to do homework whilst on his holiday - he wasn't impressed.

various photos around the town, local bakery; lovely wool shop;

 a trip to the theatre; fish & chip supper; arcade time with James; very rough sea;

Even though the weather wasn't great we still managed to spend some time on the beach.

 Key points: the local stream engine at the train station

Having a walk along the front in the fog; beach huts;

I attended the Creative Heart & Soul Retreat in Coventry with Sheena and Sam, it was my first CH&S retreat and I loved it, hoping to make to back again next year.

 This was my month of October, thanks for stopping by ...
