Thank you Karen for these instructions xx
A beautiful LO too and love the colours you used
Free Mini Book Class and Sunday ramblings
Happy Scrappy Sunday everyone. I promised I would share my latest mini book here and give the instructions. I have made it for a scrap class I am teaching and as the instructions had to be written for that, it seemed silly not to share them here too. It is a very very simple book and uses many...
Thank you for the prompt xx and will think about all you teachers as I start the 6th year of my retirement today and LOVE every minute, your turn will come one day :)
Best days are Sundays when you have nothing to prepare or mark and the next best day is a Monday when you can stay in bed with the whole day unplanned LOL!!
Calling all Teachers and Prompt 36

Enjoy the last few weeks of the hols with Nigel xx
5210 and my 50th
It has been utterly foul weather here for the last couple of days, but do you know what - that means it is GREAT scrapping time. I have been working on my 50th birthday little book and have almost finished. But i couldn't wait to share it. I haven't taken pictures of the other pages yet, but I h...
Just popped in to collect 3 weeks worth of 52 in 10 LOL!!
Belated Happy 50th, my you are looking GREAT! and just love that song and a fab video from Nigel.
Luv n'hugs for yesterday xx
In celebration
No proper post today - too busy having fun (and burying my head in the sand and pretending that I am still 21 instead of a whole bigger number!) I have had many many wonderful gifts and an incredible day which I will write about another time. meanwhile I have to share one of the gifts Nij gave m...
Thank you Karen x
Another prompt and FREE word art
Happy Father's Day today. I find father's day and mother's day quite hard as I miss them both so I focus hard on having fun. Nij had fun cards today fromt he three fur babies. Yes .... I know it is daft but heck .... I'm daft. Anyway I have some free word art for you. You can download it free...
Thank you for the prompt, sorry you feel a little disheartened :(
Please do the whole 52 weeks for us all xx
Fab mini book for Nigel, he's a lucky man!
Special mini album
I have had such fun making a gift for Nigel for Father's Day. But he's not a father, I hear you cry. Well yes he is actually. He has three fur babies (look, by now you know I am crazy so it shouldn't come as a surprise!) I saw the mini album at The Shabby Shop and it is absolutely gorgeous. I ...
Fab idea for hidden journalling, may I scraplift that idea at sometime? Will let you know when I use the idea!
Just popped on to pick up today's prompt before we go to church but not posted yet:( Still have plenty of prompts to get on with!
Sort of lazy Saturday
I love lazy Saturdays and I am planning on having one from here on in. Had to work hard this morning but have just been rewarded with a trip to get a frappaccino as a reward. Roof off driving along in the sunshine - fabulous. However, I came home, went and sat int he garden and am now back ins...
Thanks karen, Slowly playing catch up and look forward each week to the new prompt so I can then spend hours mulling over how I will attempt them :)
Lovely photos of you and Jackie at her 50th, you both look amazing!
What a celebration
Well, she's 50! And what a celebration. We had an utterly wonderful evening. Champagne on the lawns - it was a beautiful warm evening, the hotel is set in stunning countryside and it was just perfect. Then inside for a wonderful meal. The food was superb and, for the first time in a long time, i...
Thanks for prompt 22 xx
You are looking really good, well done on your weight loss!

Walk around Wimborne
Well the forecast for today was grim but actually it has been lovely. It looked like it was threatening rain, but the sun came out and it was warm and very pleasant. So we headed off to Wimborne. It is a town we visit a lot, both to go to and to drive through en route to a lot of places. It is ...
Hope these prompts will be for the whole year? really enjoy getting them each Sunday and although I am 5 behind when the weather is bad I will play catch up, loving my album and the ideas and challenges to journal more.
many, many thanks too xx
I believe there are more quietly doing these classes than you believe Karen!
Oh and poor Nigel, fancy showing us his 'poxed' face LOL!!
52 in 10 Prompt 21
Here we are again .... another week on .... another prompt. I think there are still a few of you watching and playing, but I guess I knew that by almost half way it would be pretty much done. I hope that you have enjoyed the prompts and making the pages and that you have found the class fun...
Thank you Karen, been away on holiday so just picked up last Sunday's... will soon have tomorrow's too!
52 in 10 Prompt 17
Apologies for the lateness of the prompt. I completely forgot it was Sunday LOL So we are now at Prompt 17 and this year seems to be whizzing by so quickly. The course works so that we look at a theme for approximately 4 weeks and then move on to another theme, so we are off to soemthing new ...
Hi karen what a brilliant idea, I am very happy to make a donation.
Having 'made over' our house in several areas in past few years before my retirement I will look foward to this one :)
Thank you xx
52 in 10 Prompt 15
So, Spring is here and we have had some gorgeous days. I have been out walking everyday and enjoyingt he weather. Consequently I haven't been scrapping much, but hey ho! Aparently Spring is a time when everyone, birds, bees, squirrels, foxes, people, start thinking of new homes. Maybe just a ...
Late this week !

52 in 10 prompt 14
Happy Easter Sunday everyone Well here is prompt 14. You know how this works now. The same broad theme runs for a couple of weeks so we are still focusing on HOME. Last week I asked you to explore your home and what it means. This week is a little more specific and there is an added chall...
Thank you Karen, another early bird!
Just to upload last week's and then enjoy this prompt.
How strange that our team on UKS were chatting about who we would invite to do a Come Dine with me this past week so I already have a group:)
Well done with Shimelle's 3 week class, it definitely has inspired me to use old stash that I too have been ignoring for a long time!
52 in 10 Prompt 12

Hi karen I would have paid for this class BUT refreshing to have a freebie, so thank you very, very much.

Thank you, thank you and thank you xxx
52 in 10 Prompt 11
OK, so over the past two weeks we have established we all have friends. We have general friends .... we have close friends..... we have special friends. But we all have friends. This week we are going to look at something which might not be quite so comfortable ..... or you can treat the prom...
Thank Karen I really enjoyed last week's though I think similar to Claire's! Still have to finish off and upload!

5210 Prompt 10
So, we are already at week 10 of the project - almost a quarter of the way through. This week we are sticking witht he theme of friends but have moved on to that one special friend you may have or may have had. I am exceptionally lucky to have two best friends - both of whom I have had for y...

5210 Prompt 9
And so we get to a whole new section of our album this week - one we will be looking at, sort of, for the next few weeks. I hope you enjoyed the sections on family and role models. I have to say i am loving my album and it is really giving me something to focus on. That and preparingt he p...
Well done on losing weight having that kind of week, I had got to that stage when I took early retirement. I was getting into school at 7am, coming home at 7pm then started work at home from 9 - 1am every week day and Sundays it all started again.
I really don't think people realise what it is like in education and I think it has got worse
(((hugs))) for you both xx
A week and a half in three days
There is so much to do and so much of it involves jobs I can't finish and finalise at the moment so I feel I am getting nowhere. If any of you feel teachers work 9 - 4 and only in term time five days a week, let me tell you that is NOT the case and apart from holiday work - and there is a LOT of...
Love the papers and the way you have used them too. Thanks to you my sewing machine is permanently out these days!!
Such a lovely tribute too to Nigel and I am sure his quality of life is so much better these days following retirement and hope he is feeling better soon!
Awaiting todays prompt and glad I had a chance to read this!
Dedicated to the one I love
I have had a lovely day with my Nij today. We have sat and watched TV, been for a walk, played band, both enjoyed our own hobbies together and just had a nice time. And do you know what ..... that really matters. He is not really very well at the moment, and not just his ears. And it all makes ...
Another stalker here, I was here early so read your blog.
Happy Half term and I know what you mean about having to buy ALL new clothes and finding you don't know what you want AND finding all the sizes are bigger sizes than your new smaller size!! Well done karen on the weight loss too xx
Love sketches so a very happy bunny, thanks xx
5210 Prompt 7 and a FREEBIE
How can we already be at week 7. Didn't we JUST have Christmas? I can't believe how quickly this course is going and how much I am loving it. This week is an extra special week as I have a skecth for you to use if you wish and also a template for those of you who digi scrap. This week we...

Thank again xxx
52 in 10 Prompt 4
Hi again everyone. I am so pleased people are enjoying this still. I know a lot of youfelt that last week's prompt demanded a lot of thought, but I have seen some utterly gorgeous pages and art journal entries. I am trying to comment on as many pages and blogs as I can but do forgive me if I ...

52 in 10 prompt 1
Good morning and welcome everyone. I don't think any of you could have any idea how nervous I feel right now. This seemed like such a good idea when I thought of it back in October. It was just what I needed to give me a focus for 2010. I thought that a couple of people might like to join in...
Hi Karen just downloaded the file, very quick and easy and love the journalling idea to reflect back on 2000. Off to look at me in 2000, I was 55, taking early retirement with a reduced pension from teaching and like you I was heavier then LOL!!
Well done to on your weight loss, you have done incredibly well in 4 months.
