We've had a very busy few days. School break, a friend's wedding, a Halloween party. It's been go go go. So last night when I got my planner ready for this week I was pleased to see apart from work, not too much going on. I need that sometimes. I need a quieter week this [...]
My daughter, Hollie & I had so much fun with today's project. We've been potato printing!! Did you do that as a kid too? Takes me right back to pre school days. It's definitely a case of releasing your inner child. All you need is a potato, small sharp knife and something to create the [...]
Happy Monday to you? Have you got a good week planned? Is it half term break for you too? Do you do anything fun for Halloween? It's a busy week for us. Fitting in work around the kids being off this week. I'm trying to stay organised and have a good balance of work and [...]
I like to make notes & lists. I like to be able to jot things down as I think about them. I don't always want a big note pad in my bag though. I'd much prefer something slim line and also pretty. These little dori-journals are perfect to slide in to your hand bag, keep [...]
Did you like your little toadstools in this months 'Once Upon a Story Kit' kit? Isn't it cute?! What are you doing with yours? Has it become a key ring, or a planner charm? It also really looks good just hanging on the pin board. I saw on facebook this morning that one of our [...]

With this month's kit theme being 'Once upon a Story' I thought it would be a good month to chat about art journals in a bit more depth. Why? Art journaling is something that I dip in and out of and that suits me. I like projects that I can easily pick up and put [...]
Today's post is all about 'Remembering to.... document the every day. It's so easy to concentrate on the perfect moments when it comes to scrapbooking, project life, journaling etc... We all have the beautiful family photos and we document all the precious moments, but it's easy to forget about the general every day stuff. Normal [...]
Sometimes it's nice to send a card in the mail....just because. It was National Card Making Day at the weekend, but I never got around to making any, so I'm making up for it now. I've made up these cards using this month's October Kit. I generally make up a few cards at a time. [...]
