Selfish...

I know..But I needed to take a day off and just scrap...I have piles of editing, washing and other things to do..But I sat and scrapped and I felt good:


Scrap The Girls Sept Challenge:

The challenge this month was to use bull dog clips..Funnily enough..I had just bought some to use at Rylan's party..So it worked well. You know, when I finished this layout I put aside and didn't really like it..But it's grown on me now..Plus I love the photo of Hallie. I have used a Little Yellow Bicycle fabric frame behind the photo.. I love the gramaphone and the material was a little bit of scrap that actually dictated the colour scheme...Basic Grey flower..yummy...

Kraft It Up:

Ha..Now this was more my colour scheme!! The challenge this month was to use fabric.Some lovely quilting fabric used here.Tick..And stitching..Sigh..I am so lazy with my sewing machine..But I got it out...Woohooo! ..A quick handmade tissue paper flower. Seriously - I held 4 sheets between fingers and cut a shape. Viola! Some really OLD American Craft Dear Lizzy bunting...

And one of my 'Daily Grind' shots..This is what Miss M does when I feed Rylan.. Lifts the top and breastfeeds..She then goes and puts Lucy down for her nap too. Every day...She sat down beside me today and I smiled at her. "You gonna take my photo today Mama? "..

Sweetheart..

    Never never ever feel guilty for taking time out for yourself Celeste. I am so glad you did too because your layouts are both beautiful. You have such photogenic children so it must make it a little easier to put your pages together. Love having you join in with us at KIU xx
