There was such a great atmosphere at the weekend and theres nothing better than a very busy scrapping table with five of us squished around itI'm also loving a few other sites at the moment, either for inspiration, information or just general useage
- Netmums - great for helpful information on your local area, a place to sell your items and fantastic forums for all kinds of support
- Freecycle - awesome for moving your unwanted items on to a new home and vice versa
- Paper Craft Junkies - I've been part of this crafting forum for some time now, I host a monthly stamped image swop and there is loads of crafting inspiration for cardmaking, scrapbooking, atc's and altered art. Also there new look home page is full of ideas
- Allotments - I have an allotment and one of the best places I've found for fantastic guides and a helpful forum is this one.
Hope at least one of them will be of use to you sometime :)

Well this is our gorgeous E30 bmw, Tel built this from scratch, it started off in a grey chassis then we got a black one, he built the engine, welded in the leather interior, everything you can imagine, he did it to this beauty.
Whilst I was pregnant with Riley this was my vehicle for work, and believe me it roared!!! everyone could hear me coming lol Even when I was heavily pregnant I carried on driving it, but due to it been lowered! I use to practically get out on my knees!!! lol ~memories~
Anyway recently we sold it :( a very sad day to be honest because we both did love it loads, but the last thing it needed was a complete respray which sadly we just could not afford :( so its now been re-sprayed bmw racing green! has roll bars in it! and is going to be a track car, so she gets to live once more.
So I tag, Rosie, Elaine, Kirsty, Emma, debbie and claire
I bet you'll be shocked to see what pictures are there girls :)

I'm a bit of a hoarder when it comes to my boys makes and finds! i have large scrapbooks that i keep all of jacks work in from his childminder days, home and now school too, we're up to book four!! Riley is still on book one at the moment, but I love flicking through them and see how their art and writing has changed :)
So a great saying for today then
'You never realise how much your mother loves you till you explore the attic - and find every letter you ever sent her, every finger painting, clay pot, bead necklace, Easter chicken, cardboard Santa Claus, paper lace mother's day card and school report since day one'

A Mother's love is forever; time, distance, hardship... all fall before the strength of her love.

Yesterday Rosie and I went charity shopping in the gorgeous town of Market Harborough yesterday, gorgeous little Freya came with us tooSome great bargains were purchased too :)This gorgeous old book will be an altered art journal at some pointThis suede journal was a bargain £1.50 and is my new 52 questions journal for the year that is been ran over here and here is my first page, I've decided to only use papers from my scraps box and a playing card on each page!Each page is going to be very plain and simple because the journal will be colourful and busy once its completed :)

super duper
Jack very patiently waited for Daddy to come home before opening more presents**somewhere along the line I think I've screwed the settings up for my camera, although I doubt the flash helps! 98% were all blurred last night :( very sad)**
This boy loves his Laa LaaHow funny does Wicket look! Very tiny... don't let that fool you cause he's massive!But the boys had a good time, the evening began at MacDonald's, well for some of us it did!!! (You see my idea of McD's is near the supermarket, everyone else's is in town) hence poor little Sol getting no dinner, other than a Wimpy from the alley (which come on, you cant count Wimpy as dinner can you?)Jacks chrimbo pressie in the form of a ball - one very happy boy with that.and when we finally released Riley from his chair
a late night but a good night had by all, Jacks friends are popping round after school for cake as we didn't even have time to munch on that.
