Just Not Going To Happen

Well I did try, but sadly life got in the way....just not going to reach my target of 10 LO's this month. Just on my way home from work now, got a medical appoinment at 4, then need to feed the kids then get them to Beavers for 6. This will give me around an hour of scrapping before I need to pick them up. Off out tomorrow night, so it is very clear I will not do 5 LO's in 1 hour tonight.

Did try, but sadly failed :0(

Just Swing

Completed another LO after taking a break for this at the pub after the football:

I have based my LO on this sketch at Ideas For Scrapbookers.  Do go and visit the blog as it is a great resource for ideas as well as sketches.

Again I have used my October Afternoon Fly A Kite papers:

Not quite sure if it needs the bunting or not.  But if I do add it, think it will just be the top left corner and all across may be a little too much.  This photo was taken at the same time as our woodland wood.  In our local covert, someone many many years ago has constructed a swing in the trees.  Not quite sure if it is the same swing but there was definitely one there 25 years ago as I too used to play on it.

Twisted Sketches #55

Above is this weeks sketch and the twist is flags.  Every Wednesday you get a new sketch published for scrapping and every Saturday there is a card sketch.  Check out all the crafty creations here.  I used October Afternoon's Fly A Kite papers and this is what I came up with whilst watching the football:

Please excuse the flash on the photo but camera does not want to play today and try as I might I just can't turn the flash off.

But Not Too Hot For This

It may have been a day of heat yesterday and way too hot to scrap but it certainly was not too hot for this:

We had started with a little bit of water in the pool, added a little more:

Then some more water:

And then ended up with this:

 And today?  We are having lots of this:

Just Too Hot To Scrap!

Planned on having a scrapping frenzy today but sadly with this heat, it has just not happened.  There just seems no air at all.  First got poor Snowball out of his cage for a run around in the lounge with the fan on.  He really appreciated that and seemed much brighter after.

Liam just loves to hold him like he is a baby and the silly thing just lets him.

Then I spent nearly an hour moving the poor guinea pigs on to the patio as it is in the shade of our copper beach.  It was just way too hot for them on the grass.  I sprayed the patio before I moved them and they just perked up no end when they were moved.  Pity the same can't be said for me!

My Dad is calling at my Mother In Laws later today to pick up my foot pump so we can pump some air into the kids new paddling pool.  Quite glad the pool was deflated today as its just too hot for them to go out, especially for Freya, who like me, goes lobster at the slightest hint of the sun.

Hoping to get some energy back and get some scrapping done after we have eaten.
