Firstly, an apology for not updating on Friday yet again. This picture shows you the reason why! Our skip (which I have wanted for over 4 years now) finally arrived on Thursday and so I have spent the past few days fighting my way through the garage and beginning to empty it of the accumulated rubbish that comes with 10 years of marriage!
This is what the garage looked like when I started so you can see why I was desparate to do it LOL! So far I have taken one huge box of things to the charity shop and have some more that will go on Tuesday, and the skip is half full. The funny part has been that both Alex and Tim have been hovering by the skip at different times to make sure I don't throw anything away that they still want - they are both such hoarders!
Despite the weather being changeable, Alex and I have also been out to the park a few times where he has been scooting really fast, bicycling, and having fun on the bouncy slide (going too fast for decent photos!).
Crafting wise I had to get my DT entry for this weekends
Quirky Crafts challenge finished; not least because it is my challenge this week! The challenge is quite simple this time round; to make anything but a card and it is sponsored by Robyn's Fetish who provided the digital images I used on my layout. I just had to scrapbook the photos I took of Alex on his first day at school this week. I used the sketch from this weeks
Sketchy Thursday and am also entering this into
CCT 'something you would find in an office',
Delicious Doodles 'fresh start' (first day at school),
Fussy and Fancy 'back to school' challenges.
The only other crafting I have done has been this weeks
Less is More challenge, which was to make a one layer card 'seeing double'. I have used two fairies on this card,and the stars consist of two imprints of the same stamp (with part of it masked so that the wording round the candle could be seen). I added sakura stardust to the wings and glitter glue to the stars. This card also fits with
PaperPlay 'use 2 or more stamped images',
Aud Sentiments 'a card for a girl' and
Stampin' for the weekend 'pink' and
Stamp something's final 'anything goes' challenges. That is all from me for now...I am off down to the garage to continue filling the skip! Have a great week everyone.
Love,
Caro
