Wk 2

I know I'm sharing all of these out of order but it's just whatever file I happen to grab next from the folder.  Tonight I'm sharing Week 2 of my 52 weeks of me album.  This particular week all I did was read.  Sometimes you just can't put a book down and this was one of those times.

Week 6

Over the weekend I was catching up on my 52 weeks of me album.  During week 6 I attended a corporate awards dinner.  The first one I've been to since starting my new job.  I now know why my boss was so insistant that I attend.....I won an award - go me!!  (I have blocked out my journaling - I don't want the world to know where I work)

A fun letter B

After much debate we stuck with something very simple and fun for the letter B of our Alphabet Weekends.  We decided to go bowling.  I normally don't enjoy bowling but they had the lights off and the 80's tunes pumping and I don't mind saying, I had a ball (pardon the pun).  Daniel decided it would be funny for me not the have bumpers but didn't warn me.  Needless to say I got a gutter ball the first go so yeah...I ended up with bumpers after that but I still got beaten.  I don't know what it is, I'm just no good at ten pin bowling. 

All 3 of us are really enjoying out Alphabet weekends so far and the letter C will be upon us in a week....got any ideas?

We've made 3 new rules:
1.  It can't cost more that $120
2. All 3 of us have to join in - even if we don't particularly like the idea of that activity
3. It has to be something we haven't done before or a place we haven't been to before

My idea is canoeing.  Will wait until Sunday when we're all home to talk to the family about it.

I'll leave you with our B pics.  Can't wait to get these printed and scrapped this weekend.

Leave me a comment and let me know what your ideas are for "C"

Alphabet weekends { the letter B }

So this weekend is the second weekend of our Alphabet Weekends and we're doing the letter B. I'm looking for some ideas . So far we have:

* Beach
* Bowling
* Buddhist Temple (thanks Lis)
Daniel really wants to go and watch the Dragons play the Rabbitohs. He's trying to think of something associated with that game that begins with b lol

If you think of something please leave me a comment.

Thought I'd pop in ....

and post a couple of my most recent layouts.

This is my entry for the Word Challenge at Challenge Heaven this month which is to use the word Happy in your title as well as use a scalloped edge somewhere.  This is my week 4 of my 52 weeks of me album using the Evanthe kit from Storyboard Kits and an old sketch by Inspired Blueprints.

 This is my entry for the Colour Challenge at Challenge Heaven which was to use Summer colours that are bright and fresh as well as using paint on your layout.  This layout is also my first in my new album called Alphabet Weekends.  A for Action Park.  Next weekend is B. Wonder what we're gonna do.

I'm enjoying doing the 8.5x11 layouts so much that I'm considering not doing 12x12 anymore.  It's so nice to do something different.

I know it's been a month since I posted anything but I did say I was taking a step back :)  If you're still popping in, please leave me a comment to let me know you were here.
