This Lo was created for a challenge during the scrap my memories crop. You could only use white. I had a lot of trouble with it as I don't have a lot of white embellishments but with a little though I came up with this. Its very simple and I think it really highlights the photo. I am thinking of doing a few more like this, using only one colour.

I am happy.
I am happy for no particular reason. I am happy because I have a husband who loves me as much as I love him. I am happy because I have a beautiful son who has just cut his first tooth. I am happy because I have a family that love and support me no matter what I do. I know that times are hard, they are for many people right now, but right now I am happy. Broke, tired and in need of a shower but happy.
To celebrate my 100th post, I give you Bill Bailey. Hes a comedian from the west country, where I am originally from and I just love his view on England.

.... at two in the morning. I live in a smallish village and its so quiet at night its eerie. You do get a little " village of the damned " vibe sometimes.
Today was my first mothers day. I still find it strange being called a mummy sometimes, as if someone is going to tell me its all been a mistake and take my son away. I love my son to bits and I love being a mummy, its being called one that throws me a little. But hey sometimes I forget my married name and write my maiden name by mistake. I guess its just another title to get used to.
Im feeling a little too much like an adult right now so before the state of the world depresses, I am going to stand in my kitchen and eat a little chocolate trifle. Hopefully that should restore the balance.

Just your average, ordinary day in the B household. A bit of shopping (Logan is now the besotted owner of a stuffed toy rabbit), Chinese food for tea and once again I am still awake at the wee hours of the morning. In two hours time i will have officially been up 24 hours straight. This mummy business isn't all its cracked up to be sometimes.

I love robot chicken and if you are a fan of Starwars you have to watch it. I nearly pee myself every time.

Sometimes, like most of you I would imagine, I wonder where I “fit” in to this world. I am not a great writer or poet, I have no plans to make the world or people’s lives better and I have no idea’s that will revolutionise today’s society. I am a wife to a lazy but supportive husband, a mother to a wonderful but occasionally smelly little boy, a daughter to my loving, overwhelming parents, a sister to a brother I don’t see nearly enough and a friend to my “girls”
I am a chubby redhead in a sea of Fake blond and skinny and I really don’t mind. I love to paint my nails but often forget to brush my hair. I am half an hour late for everything and my friends love me regardless. I swear way too much and read at least one book a week. We don’t have T.V hooked up, we only watch films. I’m 5ft 3 and don’t wear heels, I am not ashamed of my height. I wear addidas trainers and jeans most of the time, when I dress up I wear 50s inspired dresses and secretly thrive on the surprised look on peoples faces when they see that I can look good if I make a effort. My husband loves me when I don’t make an effort. I brother calls me an umpa-lumpa but because I love him I like it. I never wanted to be a mother but now that I am I wouldn’t change it for the world.
I am still not sure where I fit in this world but right now I know I fit in right between my husband and son in our big warm bed. Goodnight or good morning, have a great day xx

Heaven arrived today in the shape of a large cardboard box. My Basic Grey goodies from Artymiss have finally arrived and I can't wait to get started.
This little delivery thankfully makes up for the fact that I had to go to work today. My maternity leave is creeping to an end and I had to go in to negotiate my return to work as a part timer. Not much fun but luckily the hours and days I need to work were accepted with very little fuss.
Short and sweet post for today, more tomorrow but my little boy has finally drifted off so its up the wooden hill for me. Night all.
