1 year, 5 months, 3 days...........

..........since I last blogged. I hope I can remember how!! So lets do a little recap.

Faith

Well, God willing, in less than a month I'm going back to Riverwoods to work on the summer camp. This time it's not quite so much of a jump off a cliff as I can take unpaid leave from work and I don't have a flat to give up, but it still means that I need God so much for support. I feel like it's definitely the right thing for me to do. I have prayed about it and the paperwork and stuff is much easier this time. I'll be on the leadership staff this summer as well as the health care staff. Those of you who pray, please do! I'll need it as leadership can be a massive challenge. I've never had to deal with some of the situations that I may encounter doing it so please pray for wisdom.

Scrapping

Most, if not all, of my LO's these days are made with Studio Calico kits. I love them. Scarlet and April the owners co-ordinate everything so perfectly. I makes life so easy. I'm thinking of selling most of my other stash on Ebay because it never gets used! They have a new kit going live on Tuesday morning at 5am GMT. I shall be getting up for this one because my mum has promised to buy the project kit for my birthday. I know my birthday isn't until July but I'll be in Illinois by then so it makes sense. The project kit is a canvas album by Donna Downey. It looks gorgeous and I plan to use it for some photos from camp this year. In the small amount of time off that I get I should be able to do little bits on it. Hopefully that'll give me the scrappy fix I need.

This is my latest LO. It's made with the January Studio Calico kit. I'm seriously behind! The baby in the picture is my friend's little girl. She's four days old in this picture. Totally gorgeous!

I used Maya mists on the background. I sprayed metallic turquoise on first, then masked the star and sprayed sliver over the top. I then used a template to stitch around the outline. I think I may be addicted to the mists!!

Cars

Not much to say here really. I went to Le Mans again last year.

It was wonderful as usual. The sound that reverberates around the start/finish straight is totally amazing. It echoes right down inside you. There's just nothing like it. I will never get sick of it.

Aston Martin won the GT1 category. They raced in the lovely Gulf colours.

Talking of Astons, they revealed this recently.

It's the concept of their one-77. Now I love Astons and this car is gorgeous, but £1,000,000!!

Anyway, that's it for now. I shall be back soon with a little scrappy RAK. See you soon.

Aston Martin N400 roadster

Just a little piccie. It's beautiful!

TTFN

WoooHooo!

Just a quick one as I'm in the middle of tidying my room (wonders will never cease)!

I made UKS Lay Out of the Week, and it's on the home page. They didn't tell me it would be, so I only found from my UKS team mate. I have to say I know it's not a huge thing but I was very happy.

Anyway TTFN.

CyberCrop

Just a quick one tonight as I'm doing a cybercrop on the wonderful FSUK.

These LO's are the first I've done with a gorgeous kit I brought from Scrapping Goodies.

They're my friends kids on the day after her wedding. Anyway off for more scrapping. TTFN.

Craft space.

Just a few pictures of my crafting space.

My desk and the tiny space for my chair.

My tote.

Lots of lovely brads and buttons.

A basket of bits and bobs including sweeties!

As you can see it doesn't take more than a few photos to show it all to you! TTFN

Sorry!

No pics of my crafting space today. Had to visit my dad and check that my newly cut key worked in the door (such a faff, it takes a year to get it and then I have to go to three different shops to find on that can cut it!). Well I got fed tonight (lovely sausage and mash with onion gravy and peas, thanks to my step mum) and we watched Trinny and Susannah. Well TTFN and see ya tomorrow.

Bad girl!!

I have been very naughty. I am seriously behind in my blog. I do however have a good reason.

The last piece of new furniture for my room has finally arrived. Word of advice to all - Do not get Ikea to deliver furniture to you, or you may end up like me, waiting six weeks for it only to have to go out and find the truck and tell them where to go! So having been without furniture for 6 weeks (we gave the old stuff to a little boy I know), it took me a day to put together and then two days to sort out my room. Now my room is sorted I have scrapping space in it. Yay! All my stuff has been removed from the living room, much to my mother's delight, to be placed upstairs. So that's where I've been for the past 10 days, up in my room scrapping. I love it! True, I do have to squeeze into my chair which is behind a desk and infront of a radiator (with just enough space to get in), and there's stuff piled up around me. But it's specific scrapping space and the piles are at least organised.

I have my TV and radio set up so I can watch my videos or listen to my audio books. I have been scrapping almost every day and I love it. So I'm sorry for being a very bad blogger but I'll try to be better.

Here are some of the LO's I have managed to do recently.

Well I'll show some more tomorrow and I'll try and get some pics of my scrapping space. TTFN x
