Wedding Album
Last February I made a Wedding Album for Ian's cousin - and it's just occured to me that I never got round to sharing it with you all!
So, here it is .... better later than never, as they say!

6 days in and ......
the photo a day project has fallen apart! Well, actually that happened on the forth, but hey!
So, it looks like POTD is going to be Project Life .... photos of the important things, everyday things, and even the mundane .... just not every day. I'll still end up with a great record of 2012, and it will give me a chance to add more photos of the important things, rather than just trying to pick out one.
On a more positive note, Scrapbook Life 2012 is still on a roll. I've not got anything ready to post yet, but I have been playing with my doodles, prompts and calendar pages, and am going to Staples after work to get a binder, pockets and a few other bits. Then I'm going to spend some time over the weekend playing with papers and getting the binder filled. Piccies will follow next week ;-)
But most importantly, I'm enjoying doing the creative bits I have managed to do .... and even getting out of my box a bit!

Doodling - a new found media!
OK - so I'm probably light years behind everyone else, but I though I'd give Doodling a go as a new addition to my crafty armoury!
I found a great blog called Homegrown Hospitality by Stephanie Ackerman, and decided to sign up for her Doodle 101 workshop. Below is my first proper Doodled page - the front page for my journal. I want to try and make at least one page each week in this journal, and will be featuring doodles in there a fair bit. It's so relaxing and theraputic, although I may need to buy some other pens as the Promarkers bled though to the back .... and the next page - ooops!
I'm seriously thinking about now joining the Doodle, Too class!

Yayyyyy - PAY DAY!!!
July's Pay Day is FINALLY here, and I'm so excited - because now I can book myself on a couple of online workshops :)
I just can't decide which ones .....
Inspiration Inspired
Moving Into Manual Mode
Adventures In Scrapbooking - Use Your Stash
Book of Stories
and Me - The Abridged Version - all over on Big Picture Scrapbooking.
I'd love to be able to do them all, but as I'm also hoping DH will chip in towards (or even buy me) a Cricut Expression (£300ish) I better not push my luck too far LOL

Something New for 2010
OK, I know it's a bit early for New Year's Resolutions, but I was reading through some of the blogs from Shimelle's Blogging for Scrapbooking class and came across Melissa's post from today about her challenge.
One of the challenges was to pick a book from a list and read it, then give a review. It gives links to various Top 100 lists, and there is one for Mystery Novels. That got me thinking.
One of my resolutions for 2010 is to have more quality ME TIME! So, I've printed off The 100 Best Mystery Novels of All Time and plan to read through them ALL! OK, I'm never going to finish that in one year, but I can give it a flippin good try ........ and what I haven't read I can do in 2011 :)
