Darren chose the photo for me and i made the page-we esp love maddies face.

OMG!!!

OMG-what has annelies bates done to me- i was awake at 6.30am and instead of getting my rest i got up and started scrapping. I didnt get to bed till 1.15am as it was as i was busy scrapping too.
I have been working more on my family book and have also started an "our house" book and a junk journal using bottle tops for the title.
There is also plans for starting a travel book too.

When Maddie came from school, she wanted to craft too and altered a picture of Belle the Princess (a future artist me thinks!)

i have been able to do some more of my book 2day, im half way through thr book and completed about 10 pages today. I had to give up when Betty came home as she was playing in my craft bag and pinching my glue.

On saturday, at the monthly crop we were introduced to altered books, a class led by a Ranger educator- Anneliese Bates.

I had so much fun folding, painting and altering the pages and have continued working on my book at home too. Im starting to look at junk mail differently too as my mind is thinking of how the mail could be used on a page. The recycling box will be halved at this rate.

Thanks to Anneliese for releasing my creativity again.

I recently came across a fantastic idea for storing bags and coats-it was in 1 of my moms magazines. I showed it to the hubby and he loved the idea-so we will have to wait and see what happens..... watch this space.

PANCAKE DAY-this is always a challenge for me as i have an intolerance to eggs but love pancakes, i have asked various chefs for receipes and had no joy. Thats why i love the internet as i now have numerous reciepes for egg free pancakes and cooking. In making our pancakes, we replaced the eggs with apple sauce and the pancakes came out very light and fluffy.

Darren has been taking some photos of the girls.......... but the 1 that makes me smile the most is the 1 of maddie, she has spaghetti juice around her mouth but insisted on putting her glitter lipgloss on too-classy!!! Betty is trying to be like me-with wearing my shoes.
