Time flies





Well, how quickly does the time go? The reason for not blogging very much over the past week is that I have been sorting my stash so I can fit it all into one nice new craft room that is now decorated and has some new units plus some that were in there before when It was my eldest son's bedroom.We had a trip to Ikea and bought some gorgeous little - well not that little white units and have got some bluey checked material boxes to go in them,and a few other bits.I am so thrilled to be able to have one room where I can keep all my stuff and escape to and not have to pack it all away at nought hours in the morning when I go to bed....Sorting 5 years of stash is no mean feat though but I am getting there,with himself breathing over my shoulder every five minutes to make sure I'm not slacking!I haven't done much crafting lately but I went to the Craftystash crop on Sunday and enjoyed a whole day with friends. We did two layouts whichI loved.

Back to blogging

Well, things have been pretty hectic here at Holmes towers, what with two boys moving out,one to go to Uni and one to live with his girlfriend.I haven't had easy access to my scrapping gear as it has been er-sorted out(sort of)and packed neatly in the garage in readiness for the move to the craft room.I have been managing to do my pages for Learn Something New Every Day but have had no computer for a couple of days and have been busy tidying stash.Anyway here are a few of the pages I've done

A busy weekend


Well,it's all change in our household at the moment.Our eldest has moved out to live with his girlfriend, the middle one has gone back to Uni and the youngest will be going to Uni in a couple of weeks.It was very quiet when I got in last night and very weird.Anyway we have decided to convert oldest son's room into a craft room for me, I think that if he does decide it's not for him we have other bedrooms and he always has a home here.So anyway - we hired a skip and have started the marathon of sorting years of er things we have horded out.Needless to say there was quite a lot of stash to sort. I decided to be ruthless and have sorted loads of old card kits and cardstock etc etc out to give away or throw.
So last night I made my cover for Shimelle's new class and was quite pleased with the result, now I have togo off to work, more sorting/scrapping this evening methinks.
