Wow! It's been a while

I was going to delete this very neglected blog, but then I had a browse through lots of my old posts and enjoyed having a nice stroll down memory lane. 

I've just posted this picture on a Shimelle on-line course web site and thought I would add a copy here.

The photos are from August 2015 and show a public footpath near our home.  There were fields of broad beans and corn on one side a free range pigs on the other.  I'm amazed it took us 27 years to walk this path.  The wood is tiny and hidden away in the middle of lots of farm fields.  We also walked past old farm houses, one of which had an ancient fuel pump in the garden.  At the end is an old quarry, that's now a lovely lake for wildlife.

The papers are old Simple Stories Destinations papers.  The page is a bit brown, but it matches the busy pocket page opposite as that includes red and kraft,

Have a lovely week x

LOAD 512

I signed up for LOAD (layout a day) May 2012.  Last time I only made about 4 pages as I had a really busy month.  Yet again it's fallen on a busy month so I will see how it goes.  This is my first page - all about me - and shows photos from 2006 when I was on my way out for a night out with the MBA crowd.  The small title 'Learn Discover Grow' is very apt for everything I learnt and experienced during the time I studied for my Masters Degree.

The page is based on a Shimelle.com layout.  The journalling is on the light brown stripes.  Not the best balanced page but I didn't want to cover up all the sayings on the background paper.  The papers are mainly Simple Stories with Making Memories flowers and brads.

I've also finished another two journal pages so will share them on Wednesday when they have reached their destination.

In case you are wondering the shield is for hubby's car winning the concurs competition (overall winner for the sixth time) at the annual sunbeam alpine owners club yearly get together.

Have a lovely day.  Anne x
