Mind the gap

Hi all so i appear to have quite a few scrapbook pages to share so am back again.

December- And my trip to Edinburgh which was lovely but mad i got ill that weekend!

I pretty much lifted this page from Pinterest but its not pinned on my boards so i can't link it but I'm really please with how it looks.

I havent spoken about the wedding plans much and I'm planning on doing a post about it soon.

In December i got my ring! I had that little ring pic for ages, thinking one day i will need that, it literally floated about on my desk for what feels like years lol but i finally got to use it yay!

This is another december one but not about christmas, Im trying to use the photos to tell more stories, so this one is how this was my last christmas with the same name as my family.

So there you have it, i even have some more to share later on in the week.

Thanks for coming by to take a look

Kindle Love

I got my kindle for Christmas from Rob, i always thought it would be a way of reading and knitting. Knitting seems to be all consuming lately, though i am learning to drop back a little and allow myself time to sit and scrap and as of this week read.

My gorgeous cover is from Amazon which is Cosmo Cricket, yep my guy is awesome!

I always knit on the bus well depending on the size of the person who sits next to me on the bus (true story) but this past week, I took my kindle and got really into it again. You have to be careful as with knitting where you sit because is someone is being too loud then its hard to concentrate.

 So i now take my kindle everywhere, this is me at work on my lunch hour.

After work at home

On a saturday having my usual yummy soup and a bit of reading time.

back on the bus

and i have even now taken to reading as i make the stupidly long walk up to work

and a few pages in bed.

So there you go I appear to be addicted, I always thought that the books would be too expensive but there are soooo many thats are 79p, 99p etc obviously some of the 'bigger' books are a bit more but even if the book is £4 you are pretty unlikely to finish that in say a month so £4 a month isn't too bad is it?

So if you are debating one i say go and get one if you can.

I am having a very chilled out weekend, my chum Natalie is on her way round, so need to do a quick tidy round and then the afternoon sitting and knitting i think. Completely stuck with one of my projects so hoping she can help yay!

Thanks for stopping by

Gaps

Hi all, so I thought i would pop back and show you some more of the pages i have been doing. As i have mentioned before when i tried to put my 2011 album in some sort of order there were huge gaps.

Like this photo, i think i have a tiny pic in my doc 2011 but this deserves a page of its very own and a frame on my wall.

Me, my mam and my sis.

We all like knitting we do! lol

This very same weekend we dropped by to see Elijah who gets more gorgeous every time we see him, i really wanted to document how cute Rob was with him.

These were random papers i had had for ages but as ive not bought anything for ages i have been going through my old stuff but i really like this colour combo.

Jump forward to December and my 29th Birthday! Im 30 this year, how did that happen?

I like to do a age page every year and do a little review of what is going on in my little life, again i have used old stash.

So there you go, hope you like them.

Ive got a bit of knitting planned this evening and some trashy TV.

Have a nice evening xx
