Time to think.....

My mum and dad had the girls for 24 hours starting from lunch time yesterday!! Woo Hoo. DH and I went to the movies and saw the latest Indiana Jones movie. We enjoyed it. We don't get out often alone so that definitely had something to do with the entertainment level. We picked up some Thai Takeaway on the way home and settled in for the night.

I went to sleep at 9.15pm and I awoke at 6.50am!! With only one minor interruption to let the dog out in the wee small hours. I cannot remember the last sleep like that I have had. So I awoke raring to go. DH was still sleeping soundly, so what to do?

Make lists! That's what! Started going through my photos and outlining scrapbook pages I want to do. Then moved on to sewing projects. Have listed them all on the side of my blog. To summarise 41 single page scrapbook layouts and 11 2 page layouts. 9 sewing projects. Can I do it? Probably not! I won't knock myself out. I haven't included the Civil War Blocks as that will be a WIP for years to come.

I have made a start though, one (very basic) 1 page layout of a camping trip last year! Gotta start somewhere!

Scrappin' for a good cause

I churned out these little 6x6 mini pages last Friday night. There are 14 all together. Only took a couple of hours and it was a lot of fun. They are to go to a group of disadvantaged kids who will attend a camp in March. They use them to store their photos and remember the fun times they had.

More info is available here from Michelle and here from Julie.

Not quilty, but still crafty!

I haven't had much to show lately in the quilting department, purely as there is not much being done! I have some recent scrapbooking pages though. Very basic, but done, and that is better than not done! Top is the girls and my mum on mum's birthday in June, centre is Charlotte at the school chicken parade in April and the third is Chanel, our purple fairy. I blogged these photos of Chanel back in June.
