It's becoming a bit of a struggle to create a page every day but I am at least keeping up with noting my thoughts and 'lessons learned' in my little book. I do hope to catch up with all my pages this weekend.. but we'll see what life throws at me!
Anyway, I have two completed pages to share from last week. I think Thursday's page is fairly self-explanatory...
Yes... this is a real bugbear of mine - irresponsible dog-owners, you make my blood boil. A dark, angry topic set against girly bright papers - for some reason the contrast really appealed to me. The little birdie sticker was from Paperchase (oh how I LOOOOVE this shop! But that's another story).
The next page (Friday 11th Sept) follows a similar theme as they lie opposite each other in the album. My title was prompted by a particularly stressy morning trying to get the boys dressed, teeth and faces cleaned and out of the door in time for Friday Toddler Group which starts at 10. We got there, eventually, at 10.40 with me in a foul mood. Within two minutes all my stresses melted away and serenity was restored. It's just such a happy, friendly place to be - the boys have such fun there and I get to chat with grown-ups and eat cake. Perfect!
I chose the pigeon picture as an image of calm, unruffledness - something I wasn't until I got to Toddler Group.
One piece of exciting news before I go - I just received a huge amount of Glue Dots in a giveaway in this month's Scrapbook Magazine - woo-hoo!!! A girl can surely never have too many Glue Dots. So, my lesson for today? Keep applying for all those giveaways.. sooner or later, your name WILL come up!
