Hi

Well I have had to find another background for my blog the other one disapeared I was so fond of it too
I have tried to make them but they just didnt work out, prolly because I do not have any knowledge of how to work these computers very well  I would guess
My laptop has crashed so Im on the old one its almost worn out, Im so glad it is still working for the moment anyway!
 I would luv a background  with a shabby look with butterflys and birds but none I can find right now I will still keep looking though
I have now tried about 8 and this is the best I can find for now tis a little too big not sure how to fix it so Im off to sleep right now

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year!
I hope to get back into my crafts soon but right now its spring cleaning and there is sure a lot to be done  around here !!
So I hope I get back to you all soon

Christmas

Happy new year

Hi

It's only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth -- and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up -- that we will begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had.

I found a few Utubes on making some little mini albums so I put these together 1 will be for my sister and not sure what the others will be for I am sure I will find some use for them!!
I didn't realise these things could take so long to make

I have used some papers in the front album so I could learn the way of how to make it and I did make a few mistakes but all in all I covered those up pretty well!

Now I need to make some embellishments

scrapping

I have been very busy making these albums for my Nieces and my nephew I have nearly finished this one

this is for Emily the next thing is joining them all up with a tape measure as you can see there are bigger tags waiting to have some flowers as pulls on them they will slip behind the 2 small ones in every Pocket

this is called "watch me grow Album by laura Denison

Hi

Well I have been back from holidays for 2 weeks and have not yet settled into my daily life!
Funny how after a holiday you feel to change things a bit and first was to hit the garden, it looks overrun and messy so I have been pulling out weeds and removing old plants and replanting ready for spring!
I have half way done the front garden and hurt my back a bit, so thats on hold for a bit so the chiropractor said today!
Thats a huge problem with me, it is boots and all, no holding back, I can't seem to do a few hours then leave it! I was fine till I got retired for the nite and oooo that hurt lol
So Hubby bought up some hotpacks hoping that I would sleep, but in the end not really successfully
I wonder if I will ever learn? probably not! lol
I want to get back into that garden and get it all done so I can get on with some wall painting.... mmm not as young as I thought I was lol
I have a lot of scrapbooking I would really like to do so I have promised myself it will be tomorrow, rest that back and begin a new album
So Im still here!!!!
Cheers

A couple of photos

This was taken in a dollhouse shop in Frankenmuth Michigan

Yep that Tudor again! lol

Just some ideas really

Little bit exi but cute

the store in Frankenmuth

Help

Can anyone tell me why I have that stupid Blogger template thing on top of my Blog I want to get rid of it but it has no button to do that!

Hi

Well I'm back from the USA trip and had such FUN!
It was so nice to have a holiday I had forgotten what it does for you after 5 years of not leaving home
I did not find much in the way of miniatures in Michigan but I did find scrapbooking!
Oh dear I bought so much back with me.... gotta sort out craft room and fit it all in now!

So Im still having fun doing that, I actually ordered a cupboard unit this is it but in white Im going all white for my scrapping


I got it from http://scrapbooking.arnolds.net.au/catalog/
I only ordered it yesterday and will be here today!
Im very excited I have never had a  nice storage place only a cupboard with shelves I guess that is fine but this will be fabulous!
Now all I need is a white desk and I will be on my way of a corner for scrapping!!!

So I may have to change this blog name now huh?
So great to be back home again although it is a little cold after having 30c or 80F for 3 weeks with a very high humidity that gets me!
OOps made a big mistake there read the thermometer wrong lol it is 10 c which is 50F!!! not used to it!!! lol
