I've decided that all this scrap booking & creating is my version of pregnancy nesting instinct! I'm cramming it all in now coz I won't get the chance to do any in a few weeks time when Little Baby is born! This first page is from one of my friend Charlotte's sister's wedding last September. (Charlotte is the one on the far right by the heart I've added). I still have to put the journaling on it with the date & other details but I couldn't wait to post it here! I've put a close up of the flowers so you can see the details & 3D effect! I did the sewing while the boys were watching telly before tea lst night (had to turn the tv up very loud so they could hear it over the sewing machine!!). Jordan kept asking me what I was knitting! Timmy stood & watched me sew, fascinated by it. He kept looking at the flowers & buttons & the page & saying 'It's beautiful Mummy! I love all your colours! I really like it!' Made my day! (Luke had nodded off to sleep by this point!)
These 2 layouts of Luke & Timmy I did ages ago after a trip to Delamere Forest but they never felt finished to me. The other night I added a few bits & I am happy with them now! The red ribbons are from my Mum's ribbon box. I think I used to wear them in my hair? Or maybe it was sewn on a dress Mum made for me? Either way it's cracking on a bit & it's nice to preserve the tiny piece that was left over on a scrapbook page.
And this last layout is one that I started before Christmas & just never got around to finishing till this week. The photos are of Jordan in the ladybird costume I made for his nursery school's Ugly Bug Ball last summer. Jordan isn't one for dressing up at all but he wore this costume over & over for quite a while. It was worth the effort making it for him just to see the fun he had flying around our garden & singing & dancing in the Ugly Bug Ball production at school.Hope you are well & having a great week! Look forward to hearing from you soon! TTFN! ;O)

When you were about 6 months old and we were hard up and I took you out everyday in your lovely big old fashioned pram, I saw a competition in the local paper to answer a load of questions about things in some shop windows in the town centre. Because I had the time I was able to go over and over until I had found all the answers! Then I had to write a sentence about why I liked shopping there and guess what? I won £40 to spend in 2 of the shops so I chose the record!!!!! shop and the haberdasher's shop! It was pretty tricky spending£20 all in one go but I stocked up on loads of braid and ricrac and you can still see it today!!!
Do hope Charlotte and Emily like the wedding scrap- it looks lovely(even though it's pink!!!)
love Mum x
ps when I was buying the prizes I left you outside sitting up in your pram (we did in those days!) and someone came in to tell me that a little boy was feeding you sweets! Someone like your boys I expect who was crazy about babies!
