I have to Confess…..I did it!
I did it, I actually finished this 5×7 photo journal in a weekend. I printed, matted and sorted the pages yesterday at Angel Crafts crop. Thanks girls for your company, I have a lovely day as always. Then last night after the crop I want back to Roz’s where I started to stamp and embellish the pages. Inserting here another HUGE thank you to Roz for her lovely hospitality and great company. We always manage to get through so much when we work alongside each other its fab! 
I have to Confess - I Forget
I spent a total of 12 hours out of the house yesterday. I got a proper day off and it was much needed and most enjoyed.
Andrew stayed home with the children and I got to play with paper and sticky stuff for hours without the tug on the leg from one of other of my little dah’lings.
I have to Confess - I am having an Affair
The only trouble I have with crops is that I talk and mess around so much I am rarely productive LOL! By the time you chat, drink coffee, chat more, scrap a little, eat lunch, chat again, shop and pack up. The whole day has gone! 
I have to Confess - I am a Savoury kind of Girl
Adding to the hilarity yesterday was a challenge from Angela. An hour to create with 3 items in a kit and a few ideas from your neighbour, add 3 things from your own stash and see what you can come up with. Just a bit of fun eh? Well you would think so Mwhahahah! 
I have to Confess - I still love Furry Bears It prompted a barrage of questions (Poor Angela) on what did and did not count as your three items of stash, it was hilarious to listen too. And as for the ultra competitive scrappers present, well, I am glad I never had to run a ‘Mothers’ race st sports day against you 
Missed Linda yesterday, just wanted to mention that. The weather was appalling here and I was amazed I made it myself but poor Linda had to turn back it was so bad for her. Maybe next time hun.
I have to Confess - I love altering, especially boxes.
Anyway, I am pleased to have been able to start and finish a project in the allotted time. These pages are all in my Shimelle Gallery. This was a freebie class from Shimelle for anyone to download and complete. Having completed 3 on line classes last year from her and enjoyed each one for different reasons, this was a lovely little project that I could not resist. Thanks Shimelle.
I have to Confess - I LOVE pinkI used Banana Frog ‘Elegant Swirls’ stamps on each page as well as pink ricrak, pale pink Bazzil for the pages, Autumn Leaves Journaling stamps and a hydrangea.
I used a variety of 7 Gypsies stickers, Paper Artsy Stamps, Doodads, Inks, Heidi Swapp ribbon and embellishments, punches, die cuts, mount board and scraps of paper throughout. Lots of bits and pieces and only the hydrangeas were bought for this as I had not enough in my stash. Not bad I thought
Hope all are well, take care.
Until later xx ……

I love that little book, its lush. I have to admit I never ended up doing the class even though I downloaded it because I didnt fancy admitting anything to anyone LOL

Stunning Heather and gosh I can so relate to it too. Forgetfulness, love of anything savoury, my collection of football beanie bears and a passion for altering boxes LOL! I’ve yet to progress to a serious affair with my camera although DH would disagree.
I feel so inspired to do this now, I’d already downloaded the class……..straight onto my To Do list I think!
