Sweet nothings

scrap therapy...

Its a fun title. but its actually a real real thing. you need to write it down, create around it,  to lay it to rest. at least lay it to rest for a little while..

 

 
 

one. not two.

just the one layout to share this morning. 

three. not two.

 

Thank you for kind emails/words/messages/comments about my ribs. No they are not any better LOL, they hurt too often!! But, if I tuck my computer chair in tight it kinda holds them better. so I'll just sit and scrap til they get well ;)

And note to self, never post your personality quiz results. Especially when your result is approx double everyone elses!!!!!!

feeling sorry for myself...

When I fell over nine days or so ago with the combination of excitable puppy and wet leaves I got a bruise the size of africa on my hip/thigh. I landed heavily on my wrist and hurt that enough to grumble the following few days. And then, as all that faded, an ache around my lower side took centre stage. It keeps me awake. It makes me cry. It hurts. And today they confirmed I have bruised and cracked ribs.  which, they said, will really hurt. No kidding!!! Which, they also said, we can do nothing for.  Ugh. So I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself today, and aching a lot. But still making layouts. In twos. ;)

 

why do these always come in twos?

I wonder why I never wait for three layouts to post together?
but, never the less, here are my latest two :)

 

two new ones....

I am not having a great week, can somebody tell me is it over yet??? still, scrapping is therapy. So I have LOTS in the works !!! Here are the last two I finished...

 

I love green. green is my go to happy colour :)

itunes Scrapbooking inspiration...

Oh yes, a new iTunes challenge is up here on the Designer Digitals blog.

This is my page... simple but effective. and kinda funny..

 

:)

undercover...

First time in years I have a hood on my coat, and actually use it! NEED it! LOL

two creative streaks...

Two creative streaks that need capturing in layouts!

none then three come along at once....

...ah yes, layouts... they have been made, but in little tiny snippets of time over the last few days. {Sheesh, its been crazy around here!} So, like the proverbial bus... three come along at once..

talk about random mixture of layouts... 

A fun one of what we are currently listening to in the car..

 

This one is more family history for my children. Tho, I find it REALLY hard writing about someone I barely knew. Its tough not to write what everyone else tells you about that person... but I didnt want a book of someone else's memories, I want mine. So the journaling on here is vague, I admit that, but its factual and alittle of what I recall even as a little girl.

 

{journaling reads; You are my Fathers Grandmother, Charlotte Armstrong.   You married part of a proud Scottish family - the Armstrong Clan, and I remember the blanket of Armstrong tartan you wrapped yourself in. You were a dressmaker, who moved to Dorset in 1919. You became widowed in 1925, left with four children to bring up alone. I vagely recall your 101st Birthday celebrations.. I wish I had been old enough to remember more. This newspaper clipping is when you turned 103. Quoted then as saying ‘old age was such a nuisance’ I’ve got to say how much I like your spirit Great Gran :) You might of passed that on...}

And this one is just a Sully dog moment I wanted to record.
