Hey everyone.

I’m having lots of fun at home today, mainly because a day off work means a day full of play in the craft room! Miya has been delighted to have a servant at home all day, she even got to adventure outside for a while, which is a treat which is usually reserved for weekend afternoons.

One of the many tasks I set myself to do today was to take photos of my scrapbook layouts – Can you believe that there were SEVEN that I had never got round to showing you!?! crazy stuff!

So here’s one of the seven delinquent layouts, called ‘Just Big Kids’.

I made this layout after our trip to Northern Ireland back in May. As the holiday was nearing to an end, on one of the last days my brother Roger and his two boys, Joshua and Lewis, came into see us so we could have a trip to the park with Auntie Lesley and Uncle Craig.

We have a funny story to share (which one day will find itself on a layout i’m sure):

On their way into Brookeborough, Joshua was obviously thinking pretty hard. He looked at the front of the car and seen the two seats occupied by his mummy and daddy. With him in his car seat, and Lewis in his car seat, Joshua must have been thinking about the fact that there was only one seat left in the car. Thinking logically, as kids tends to do, he pipes up: ‘ Daddy, Auntie Lesley will need to come in our car, because she loves me and Lewis, but Uncle Craig will need to walk to the park because he just loves me!’

HAHAHA! What crazy thoughts go through their little minds! And for the record, Uncle Craig loves Lewis just as much as he loves Joshua!

In the village I grew up, there were two play parks, which most people, young and old, differentiated by calling them ‘the new park’ and ‘the old park’ or ‘the big park’ and ‘the wee park’. It had been years since I had been the either, so I was very excited to relive a part of my youth. Of course, you guessed it, it had completely changed! The previously wooden structures had been replaced with astroturf and hard-wearing metal based structures. Josh was in his element, and with a camera in my hand, I was too!

I think we all let out our inner child for a while.

P.s. I got some very exciting news the other day, but I’m not ready to share it just yet, but lets just say that you guys might be seeing my mugshot in print a wee bit more often over the next few months! Eeeeeeeeeeeekkkk! xoxo

Thanks for stopping by, and come back to see the rest of those scrapbook pages which I still need to share with you all. leave a comment here

Its our anniversary today.

Its been three years:

Since they told me that I wouldn’t be able to sleep the night before the wedding, but I was so exhausted that I fell a sleep the moment my head hit the pillow.

Since the morning in the hair dressers when three stylists had to crowd round me, armed with GHDs and hair spray so that my hair would be curled in time

Since my mummy helped me step into my big princess wedding dress

Since the day I stood on our doorstep and familiar faces from my childhood life crowded round with cameras at the ready, making me feel like the most important person on earth

Since I whispered to my dad ‘walk slower!!!’ as we walked arm in arm up the red carpeted aisle

Since I looked into my husband’s eyes for the first time {♥}

Since the one and only day that I simply could not eat anything because I was just far too excited!

Since I crawled under a table to hang out with my nephews, who were covered from head to toe in chocolate sauce from the fountain

Since I jumped of my chair with excitement when I realised that dad had brought Bear to join in with the celebrations.

Since we twirled around and around on the dance floor, feeling rushes of adrenaline as my dress floated and your kilt whooshed and whirrled

Since that first dance as Mr & Mrs. Even though the sound quality was just awful, it didn’t matter, because we were having the time of our lives!

Since Charlie P followed me to the bathroom with a crochet hook, and unhooked the dozens of buttons to make your life a little easier! ; )

Since Sarah broke into the honeymoon suite, scattered our bed with rose petals and left us a midnight snack

Happy Anniversary Craigy bear. i love you.
