Here come the girls

I love this picture of my sister, her daughters and her grand daughters...it was taken a few years ago. I knew I would scrap it one day and along came the challenge on UKs, scrap the women in your life and I immediately thought of this photo. It turned out different from what I originally planned, but I really like it dispite the leaky elbows:)

SLYMI challenge Layouts

These are layouts I did for the SLYMI Challenge on UKS, its not often I scrap myself or my hubby, I do like the picture of him....he usually avoids the camera

SLYMI - Self Portrait

SLYMI - Use supplied sketch

Scapping at Last

I have finally got around to doing some scrapping, nothing elaborate, just some plain and simple Layouts. I enjoyed doing them so thats what really matters.

New Beginnings

Today is the first day in 10 months that I do not have to worry about cancer treatment, I am finally finished with Chemotherapy and Radioum. Hopefully that is the end of this horrible chapter in my life and I can get on with just being me.

So as a start on my New Beginning....I rejoined Scottish Slimmers, I have my life back; now I want my body back, 6 months of steriods have certainly helped me pile on the pounds and my gooodness I piled on a lot. I even managed to go out walking today...it is great to finally be able to take control again, I managed 1.25 miles in 15 minutes so not bad after all these months of inactivity, long way to go to managing the 13 miles I used to be able to do...but I will get there.

I am also feeling more like crafting so my energy levels are certainly improving, so hopefully I will be able to post more craft projects here soon.

Good to be scrapping again

Its been a while since I have felt up to scrapping, however now that my chemotherapy is finished...I am beginning to feel like myself once again. I managed two layouts this afternoon, one for a challenge by my team on Uk scrappers and the other is for the weekly challenge set by another team. I enjoyed doing these and perhaps I am needing to challenge myself more now.

This Layout is my daughter trying and failing to stay awake, during a delay for our flight to Orlando...its true teenagers can sleep anywhere:lol:

This layout is for a challenge, it is my son and his friends all dressed up for their school prom....how things change..they called it the Qualifying Dance or the Qually Dance when I was at school...and I had to walk to it, no stretch limo for us...in fact I dont think stretch limo's where around then:lol:

Birthday Card

This is a card i made for my little niece for her birthday. I am thoroughly enjoying stamping again, I had stop stamping cards for a long time, but I am really enjoying doing it and colouring them.

Tag book for a Friend

I have two very special friends and life would be so hard without them, I know they are always there if I need them and they are never further away than a phone call. I wanted to let them know how special they are to me, so I made two identical tag books, one for each of them. I hope they like them.
