Mini Book 2010

Spent this afternoon trying to get housework done and catching up on my Mini Book 2010 (UKScrappers Challenge). February was such a blah month that I couldnt get motivated about my pages - so in the end I opted for a book list and some journalling. Actually turned out not too bad in the end!

So this is my book so far:

The front cover -

 January Pages -


And February Pages - 



The next months pages are almost done and due to my holiday to Vegas I have a little more to work with for March.  Ah, its good to be up to date with this :)

Its Official . . . I've signed up to GoGo!!

I took the plunge yesterday and signed up to the ScrapaGoGo Monthly Kits - so excited. I have been looking around the kit clubs for one to join as buying supplies here is just not an option with my nearest shop around 2½ hours drive so it will be great to have a regular flow of goodies coming my way. I also have my forms for the GoGoGetaway Retreat filled in and ready to go off - now we are talking mega excitement !! Hope I get a place.

Amy & Tony's Confirmation is on Sunday so I guess housework is on the menu this week, along with some prep for the Cyber Crop coming up on the 23rd - time sure is flying.

I have almost finished 2 pages (started one before I finished another - unlike me!) which I will post when they are done. I just need to find the right words to journal on my 'Joe' page - do you ever have that moment when you know what you want to say but just cant find the right words ?? Its coming to me though . . .  slowly :)

Where did the past few days go ???

Wow!! The past few days have just flown by. The sun came out so we have spent a lot of time outdoors over the past few days and the time has just flown. The kids have gone back to school this morning so the house is very quiet! Although my kitchen is now covered in sand and there are wetsuits hanging around outside so a sure sign that spring/summer has definitely arrived in Templemoyle.

We spent Saturday at Ards Forest NP hiking with Max & Coco. Amy dressed for the occasion as usual. Love this pic of her posing in her Primark shades . . lol x



Sunday was Mass in the morning and the beach all afternoon. Hence sand and wetsuits reference at the top of this post.

Now back to business - I have soooo much to catch up on with my scrapbooking. I have to finish my February & March pages for the Mini Book Challenge, get some prep done for the CC  on UKS and do the April Adornit Challenge.

On the subject of Adornit - I received my prize goodies for the February Challenge and they are gorgeous: What Do you Think ??


I need to get myself in gear to catch up with everything . .  i dont like being behind . .  it creates STRESS and STRESS leads to excessive intake of chocolate.

Oh I wish I were a Chocolate Lab x

Oh I wish I were a Chocolate Lab - swan about looking gorgeous all the time, eat everything I wanted (even things that are not edible !!!) play on the beach every day and sleep whenever I wanted cuddled up to the one I love. Couldn't resist these pic's of Max & Coco snuggled up in the sun after a mad playtime. They are inseparable and look absolutely adorable together. Oh one day these two will make lovely babies . . . . x
