I love tulips

 Love the light on this one

These were all taken in my Dad's garden at the weekend, so beautiful.
I like lots of flowers (gerberas are my favourite favourites!) but tulips are a definate close second.
I'm going to make sure we get some spring bulbs into our garden for next year. Dad's garden is just blooming and its gorgeous :)

This weekend we...

 Found lots of these

 Had one of these

 Went to the garden centre to look for a  tree

And we also did a little bit of this :)

Hope you had a lovely weekend too xx

I will learn.....

Our blogging prompt today from Shimelle was to think about blogging and scrapping for the future. As she says in her prompt we usually scrap the past or present, but rarely the future. She asked us to think about setting a goal, something to aim for and to record this in some way.
Right at this moment I feel I have many things to set goals for (I have numerous projects on the go and really could do with an extra day in the week!) I am trying to lose a bit of weight, trying to exercise (not succeeding although I am enjoying swimming everyweek) I want more family time, I have a skirt that I need to sew... and many more I'm sure you get the picture.
But right now, right this minute I want to learn how to use my camera, to be able to take good pictures and learn to be more creative, maybe even being able to to manipulate them with photoshop.
I have signed up to do a short course at college, just the basics and hopefully this will start after Easter.
I'm looking forward to meeting people in the same boat as me, just learning, I'm eager to pick up new tips, compare photos and share ideas.

So this is for Grandad.. I will learn and I will learn well :)

Today..

I enjoyed listening to Ollie read his reading book to me. Bella enjoyed having her photo took too :)

Scrapped

 I know this photo keeps on appearing on here but I have now finally scrapped it!
So this is the hot chocolate I had in Wales while DH,DDand both DS' had icecream :) As it was February I kinda thought it was a bit too chilly for icecream...but I made sure I tried ALL their icecreams just to make sure it tasted ok!
My blog post for Shimelle's class are a little mixed up as I joined a bit late so I think this might be prompt 2/3 as it is listed in my favourites and I've also added some hidden journaling on a tag behind the photo.

Here's a close up I have sprayed with a bit of cosmic shimmer but I didn't think about my computer on the floor as I turned and sprayed it onto the card....DOH...hence a sparkly edge on said laptop. It does look pretty though!
Anyways its Friday tomorrow and I'm looking forward to a busy weekend and hopefully lots of sunshine, although the weatherman has just told me its going to get colder again :( But wait!!! More reasons for me to have more hot chocolates! (Like I need an excuse???)
xxxx

My favourites...

right now I'm loving these beautiful sunsets

 Spring flowers appearing in the garden (well dad's garden)

 Loving my camera and taking photos.

Chocolate :) of course

And picking up Ollie from school, sharing stories about his day (and constantly hearing how hungry he is and "have you bought me something??") and while we wait for Laura and Jamie he reads me his reading book and practises his new words...just loving that :)

So this is another quick post. I'm hoping to scrap tomorrow inbetween a run/jog/walk and school pick up.

Thanks for stopping by :)

Blogging...

for scrapbookers.

This is Shimelle's new online class. I thought I might join in.

This is my blogging place (amongst others round the house) but this one is my favourite, its where I am now.

So today it's just a short post to blog about what I want to get from this class.

I want to scrap more

therefore to blog more of what I scrap

but I want my blog posts to be more than just what materials I've used....to have more meaning

to blog everyday life too

but not necessarily everyday

I also may need to find 3 hours more everyday too!!!
