So that means today I might have time to will:
*Finish up a couple of layouts for Sandra at Gotta Craft. This month's kit is so pretty I'd love to give you a little sneak. Mmm, maybe she wouldn't mind too much. After all, you can find out more about it here
*Have a go at Alexa's wonderful digital template (with free downloadable instructions!). Dare I digi, do you think?
*Really get stuck into finding a flat for my brother. He's on sabbatical from the end of the month and he's coming home to write a book. Hurrah! The pressure is on for me to find him a great place, with me being in the business and all.
*Order more albums. I keep finding overflow piles of layouts whenever I tidy up. I like turning up an old page I haven't seen in a while though. Like this one:
*And OF COURSE thank every one of you who wrote a story for Storytelling Sunday. AND everyone who hopped around reading and commenting. We had a record number of entries this month (and there is still time - the linky is open all week). Thank you all for joining in with such enthusiasm. You make an old blogger very happy ♥
Your post today just shows the power of routine. Sometimes there's nothing better than simply putting one foot in front. Sounds like a wonderful day to me!
ReplyDeleteNot so old surely ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm back to the routine today :( I'm trying to get enthusiastic - honest.
less of the old mrs, ur younger than me :-)). Looking forward to seeing some new scrapbooking soon,

thanks for the reminder about albums. I bought a pile of them from What! last year and I have only three left. I have just liberated a pile of old photographs from a long forgotten box so I have pages and pages to make and soon I'll have no where to put them! and with the Family Reunion at the beginning of June I have to have the albums ready to show off.
ReplyDeleteLOVE your farmyard LO. kraft and red, but not any old red - red gingham! yeah! x
ReplyDeleteAm late here..but am loving your story-telling Sunday. Will definitely be joining in!!!
ReplyDeleteHow cool is it that you have so many layouts done you keep finding more that haven't made it to an album?
ReplyDeleteI just found a pile of layouts yesterday that won't fit into my albums, I definitely need a couple more!
ReplyDeleteGreat colours on the farm page, I {heart} kraft! x
Sounds like you have a wonderful day ahead of you. I too need to order more albums - isn't that the best feeling in the world, where you've scrapped ahead of your capacity. And I'm pacing myself and enjoying the stories all week long. There are some really good ones.
ReplyDeleteI hope your day is going to plan! I love the model farm LO, brown is my favourite colour thi not one I seem to use in scrapping and the red with it is fab. Are those old pictures of your family?
ReplyDeleteLove the farm layout. Great colours. Would love to see your digi layout.
ReplyDeleteAdorable layout, Sian. I always love to study your fantastic details. Sounds like you have a full plate this week. I'm looking forward to a trip out of state for my brother's wedding this week! Once that's behind us I have a list of "must-do's" myself. xo
ReplyDeleteLove the layout Sian! My teaching term ended last week, so I'm doing lots of catch-up and clean up this week.

I have lots of albums....it's actually getting the pages into them that's the problem!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd a lot less of the old, please....or I must be vintage!!
Am also hoping to have a go at Alexa's digi page.
Have fun with the digi! Love the layout, great feel to it.
ReplyDeleteOld you? Nah!
ReplyDeleteHope you had time to get on with your wish list today.
Lovely layout - really interesting placement... and the colour choice is so perfect!
ReplyDeleteHappy flat hunting! And I love your LO - I too need new albums, just finished the last one! Its all this blogging, its encouraging me to do more scrapping!
ReplyDeleteStorytelling Sunday is such fun Sian, I am itching to join in (hopefully when life slows down a little; or will it ever?). Good luck with your lovely list and finding your brother a flat. I always smile when I hear that; everyone calls them "apartments" out here!
ReplyDeleteLovely attention to detail on your LO. And less of the old ...
ReplyDeleteOooh now - Sian does digi? I'd love to see that. I tried once and it scrambled my brain. But I am a bit numptyish when it comes to anything technical at ALL!
ReplyDeleteAm so glad the poster is being enjoyed :) I knew it found it's way to the right person!
Good luck with the flat hunting for your brother ... not a responsibility I'd fancy. Having said that, I was responsible for viewing possible houses for my Mum before she moved to our neck of the woods!! She must trust me (and your brother you!)
ReplyDeleteoh no, don't go digi!! lol! I cannot get to grips with it at all!
ReplyDeleteLove all the little bits on your farm yard layout. good luck with the flat hunting.
Thanks too for your comment on my Tower Bridge photos...how funny that you mention Sherlock Holmes when i've just finished a layout with him as the theme xx
It IS lovely when life gets back to 'normal' isn't it? Love the LO!

We went back to School last week, for 3 days! This week is short too as we had BHM off and Thursday is polling day at School, so its a TD day for me! lol
ReplyDeleteI love ur layout :)
Sian you have put this page together quite beautifully - again it is the attention to detail but it is also the ability to combine vintage photos with modern scrap product that is done so seamlessly!
ReplyDeleteToday I won't! And I didn't!
ReplyDeleteI love that farm layout. How can you bear not having them in albums? I'm really anal about that (and about books not lying horizontal on shelves)
Hope you have had a lovely day, Sian! I love that wonderfully nostalgic page: I remember being IN photos like this, with just these sorts of clothes and caps, and farm buildings a round... Hope the template is going well?
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab LO Sian sounds like you have got your hands full. I too have to sort a routine as exams looming x
ReplyDeleteSounds like a plan! Hope you had fun crafting and shopping ;)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your digi layout, you will have lots of fun doing it I'm sure:) I love those old photos, especially the one with the chickens! P.S thanks for your recent comment.
ReplyDeleteLove it
