A Bit of Digi Scrapping

It has been AGES since I did anything like this, and yes the page is just a tiny bit basic but I had to start somewhere.  I had forgotten just how much I loved digital scrapbooking.  Of course you could easily re create a page like this using real products.




The papers and embellishments are all part of some kits I downloaded way before I started having eye problems, but now I have some super duper software on my computer I can digi scrap again and actually see what I am doing.

I am really inspired now to create more - especially as Kate and Eamonn are expecting their first baby!  How exciting, I know what it is but I am not saying! 

 I hope you like it

Life Just Passes Us By

I know I said I would do some projects at the weekend but as the title of this blog goes - "Life Just Passes Us By"

I seem to spend all my time these days either working (which obviously we have to do to pay our way and keep our sanity) and sleeping, there seems to be no in between!  Don't get me wrong I love my job, I really do but I must make some time for me!

I was getting myself all worked up about my blog and the fact that I have not posted much recently, and then I thought STOP why put pressure on yourself.  Yes it is nice if people read it and yes it is nice to be able to share creative ideas and thoughts with others BUT I don't have to BLOG all the time and I should not worry if I have not done it for a while.

My dad asked me recently why I BLOG, the simple answer is that it makes me feel better.  I have kept a paper diary off and on for years and I truly believe that writing your thoughts and feelings down is a good thing.  I still keep a diary, all though these days I use a computerised version, mainly because my hand writing has got worse as my eyesight got worse and I write things in there I would never dare put on my public BLOG.  Even so I still like to do both, everyone should do it, it helps clear your head and put things in perspective!

Anyway enough waffle from me, have a lovely day.   Below is a little project I made a while ago, it makes me smile and makes me think of days gone by!  It is my nan, I still miss her dearly!  Everything used is available from www.stampeezee.co.uk

Bad Blogger!

I am such a bad blogger!  I feel awful as I got off to such a roaring start!

I promise to post some projects this weekend (honest!)

I have hardly been on line at all as I have been feeling so poorly and could not face looking at the computer in the evenings.  I have had the most awful cold and cough (no not swine flu, well at least I hope not)

Anyway, I am quite excited, I have ordered Debbies new kit of the month (http://www.stampeezee.co.uk/) and I can not wait for it to come!

Until the weekend!
