Coasting along

January is whizzing by and that means that the school holidays will soon be over, we've had a busy time but now we have one last week to kick back and relax before the tyranny of the school routine consumes our lives once more. I'm going to savour every moment!

My decision not to plan seems to be going well, my family is organising me left, right and centre - turns out they are good planners too :)

So amongst the jet-setting and gadding about I've found a few moments to scrap. I've had a lot of fun with the basic grey kissing booth range - lovely pinks and browns with some green thrown in.

This LO is the result of Barb's blind scrap over at WP. I love Barb's style, so I was very keen to give this challenge a go. Another page for my Hong Kong album :)

This one, of my Dr Who obsessed daughter, is for Kel's sketch over SFS. I added some prima packaging and a Charm's heart as well as the cute little buttons that the ever-fabulous Jules sent me. Oh and see that little strip of star ribbon? That was sent to me by the lovely Helen of Red Earth Scrapping. She and I share a mutual fb friend who put together a sweet little swap (thanks Kate!!). It made my heart happy to get a parcel of goodies from a total stranger just because she could! Truly a random act of kindness!

Seems like I've been in the pink of late. Here's a little bit of New Zealand cousin fun - Angus and Meg enjoying the pool on a rare sunny day. This one is for Sue's sketch over at Scrapbooking Top 50.

After losing all my photos last year I decided to print a big batch of photos from Christmas and New Zealand - I only printed 200 to start with as I thought I'd pace myself lol. Truth is, it turns out that many photos can be a bit daunting, it took me a few days of admiring them to get my scrap on. But don't worry  I've tripled backed up all my photos and those back ups are hidden where no burglar will ever find them!

Time to go - thanks for stopping by and I hope your January is treating you well.
