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.

....envy.
I really do envy those organized people who some how manage to blog every day. I really would love to but I often run out of time and more often than not have very little to say. But tonight I have the time for a little update on the wild and crazy life that I live.
I have finally finished decorating the box room, now dubbed "The Bat Cave". Dove ey on three walls and soft black on the fourth. With the black blinds and curtains is looks chic and masculine, which was what I was aiming for as it is a home office/den for my hubby.
My little boy has developed the most hideous eczema which has left him looking a little like Lizard man, but thankfully I think we now have it under control and he is now getting back his beautiful baby soft skin. We are waiting rather impatiently for him to cut his first tooth as well so lots of sleepless nights for us.
I have been scrapping like mad but making very few cards. I go through stages like that though. I was finding it heartbreaking to let go of my hard work even though they were greatly appreciated. With scrapbooking my creations don't stray any further than my book case. Pictures to follow.

This is my entry from the Scrummy Stash Café challenge blog. I actually finished it last night but due to the large amount of snow that fell on my little village I haven’t been able to post it until now.
I live in a little village on the Welsh border. I am surrounded by rolling fields filled with sheep. I moved here with my hubby about eight months ago from an equally small village surrounded by rolling fields filled with cows on the outskirts of Bristol. Because my husband still works in Bristol, I drive him to work every day over the severn crossing. There are two bridges crossing the severn in to England and just after ten this morning they were both closed due to the snow. This is the first time this has happened since the second crossing was opened. Fortunately we were able to cross it in to England this morning but after struggling our way through the deep snow to Charlies office we found out that they were closing for the day and that Charlie could go home. A little annoying as it takes thirty minutes to get to Charlies office and another thirty to get home. Charlie was thrilled though, its not often that you get an unexpected day off. We headed for my mums as she was expecting me, it being Friday. I am very glad that we did as they had closed the bridges and we had no way of returning to Wales. Even my mum’s street was barely impassable. In the end we waited it out at mums, building a snow man, making snow angels and having snowball fights. I felt like a child again. I hope that Logan gets to see snow like this again when he is old enough to enjoy it.

Some times I forget.
I saw this while tidying up before heading to bed and had to snap a picture. My husband has taken Logans shoes off and dropped them on top of his in the corner of the dining room (Oddly enough that is wear my husbands work shoes live). My husband has size 12/13 feet and they make Logans shoes seem so small.

This took me months but I have finally finished it. I still have to streach it but I am going to wait till I have decided what to do with it. I think it would look nice framed though its meant to be a cushion.
My little boy got a little devil costume from his uncle when he was born and I have been dying to frame this picture of him wearing it. I added a couple of spiders and some webbing using black card, a few eyelets and a black fineliner.
I picked up some mulberry paper flowers recently and decided that they would really perk up my wedding photos. I only have these three on display as they show how much Charlie and I enjoy eachother.

My little boy Logan is 4 months old in a few days. I feel like time has flown by. I think what makes it seam that way even more is that Logan is growing at an alarming rate. He has been checked out by numerous doctors and we have been told that his growth is perfectly healthy and that he will slow down in time. As my husband Charlie is over 6 ft tall and big with it they are not surprised. This picture was taken today. In it Logan is wearing a 6 - 9 months baby grow. He has been grumpy all evening as I have made him wear his scratch mitts. He has dry skin on his face and he keeps scratching it, poor love.
