Scrapping at Last

I finally found some time today to do some scrapping, this is a DLO of my DS and his friends at their recent primary school prom. It is scrary how quick my wonderful baby boy is growing up, but I am also very proud of the young man I can see emerging from this wonderful young boy.

Finished Gala Day Decorations

Thought I would show you what I have been up to for the past 4 weeks, my DS was chosen as a Bodyguard in our local gala day pageant, so of course that meant decorating the house. DS had a great time and was really happy with his castle.

Recent LO's

I have been up to my butt in Gala day decorations, but decided to give myself a break and do a couple of LO's, one was for a challenge on UKS and the other was me trying to make a start on my DS's prom pics. Hoping now that the gala day is out of the way I can make a start on some scrapping and also get to play with some of the many stamps I have been buying.

Dottee Doll Swap

I am taking part in a Dottee Doll swap, these funny little dolls measure around 2" or 3" and are great fun to make....kind of like my own ones, so just need to hope I like the two I get back:lol: I am sure I will...or I may need to make myself another two. They are for nothing in particular, I just wanted them to hang in my craft room.

These are my two...hope who ever gets them likes them.

Time in a bottle

"If I could save time in a bottle"

Goodness how good would that be, especially at the moment. I just never seem to have enough time in a day. I cant believe it is over a month since I posted here...I have been so busy as it is the wind down for girls brigade and gala season here. Gala season wont mean much to those of you who dont live here in West Lothian, but to me it means work, work and more work..for not only do GB take part in events, but my Darling son is one of the Gala Queens bodyguards..which means the house has to be decorated. so that is what I have been doing, we are putting a castle on the front of our house, but as usual working on it is dependant on weather and grabbing some free time between other gala activities..but not to worry, we will get there in the end.

Below is a pic of me working on putting in the details, which will now need to be painted in..

Knitting to save childrens lives

I was asked by a friend to knit a hat to help save the life of a baby in Tibet - I wondered what she was on about, until she explained that Save the Children, was asking people to knit a hat to help prevent a child dying from hypothermia. Well it had been a while since I had knitted anything~which was strange because when my kids where little I knitted for them all the time~anyway I sat down one night while watching tv and knitted a little hat and that was me hooked, so I knitted another and then another...they only take about an hour of your time...so please if you can spare an hour or two....knit a hat, just think for every hat you knit you save a childs life...what an amazing feeling knowing something as simple can have such an amazing affect on a families life. Go on knit a hat http://www.savethechildren.org.uk/en/5072.htm The pattern and information can be found here.

Here is a pic of some of the hats that are ready to be posted off.

Happy National Scrapbooking Day

I have had so much on at the moment that I dont know if I am coming or going, it has been great over the last week actually sitting down and doing some crafting. Here are a few layouts that I have completed, a couple as part of the Cyber Crop on Uk Scrappers and one was for the weekly challenge.
