Snow Fun with Ice

Pinaddict challenge 1, Perpetual calendar

This is a project I saw and wanted to make for the new year.

Then I found out about the pin addicts pinterest challenge at http://mylovebumps.blogspot.com/ and thought it would be a great opportunity to get some projects made and help me along with blogging :)

I got together all the things needed for the project card and stamp and ink. In the tutorial they use postcards for month dividers however I decided to use photos to make it more personal to myself. I also looked everywhere for a similar cardboard container but with no luck I again turned to my pinterest to see if I could find anything, lucky I did and I purchased a pottery berry basket from Anthropologie.

Here is how my project turned out, I would say the pot is a little small to hold all the cards properly but I love it and it will definitely do (a few years) till I can get to America and buy my self a card berry basket :)

Stamping under way I did this over 2 evenings as it did take some time.

Pottery berry basket :)

The best on Sunday!

Pancakes :) Filled with nutella, yummy :)

Halloween!

I love Halloween and so do my boys, it has been a long time since I have been able to craft anything, trying to decorate the house and renovate some furniture it still hasn't all been done but with a new Hobby Craft store now open I couldn't wait to craft any longer, I organised my bureau (Still to painted but now a space of my own) and bought some Halloween goodies for the boys craft time and some wreath rings and got stuck in, oh what fun!

Here is said bureau I will eventually sand it down and paint it to fit in with the living room theme and fix the bar that should sit just behind the bottom doors, but I am so happy to finally have a little space to craft and this thing holds a lot and with a lock it's child friendly so added bonus :)

Muffin tin meals.

I saw the idea for this when I was looking at cupcakes on pinterest, and like the handy size and fun aspect of this for the boys, we have only tried out breakfast so far but the possibilities are endless here is what we have tried.

Jam on toast, Probiotic yogurt drink, Kiwi (each tried a little peace), cheese, chocolate spread on toast and Cheerios.

Apricots, Bananas, Apple, coco cereal, cheese, Cheerios and a glass of milk with a strawberry straw :)

Here a the boys enjoying there breakfast, I love the way that the portion sizes are so great and being able to put different tastes in each section, only one rule something must be tasted from each section but not forced to eat it all. Who new? Aidan loves Apricots :)
I can't wait to try out lunch get stuck into the dreaded veggies.

My Favourite Boys

I haven't posted in a while I have been way to busy having lots of fun over the summer with my 2 favourite boys

Eating cake is also lots of Fun!

The Summer passed by way too quickly and Matthew has already been back at school for 2 weeks, Aidan and I miss him in the days but it's good to have our own time.

I am now busy decorating the house and getting lots of things finished so soon there will be a lot more blogging about my home :)

Using a good Camera :)

I have a basic digital camera it was bought about 5 years ago and has treated me well but I really would like to upgrade to something with more features and better picture quality to really capture those special moments a friend of mine recently bought a new camera, she is into crafts like me and a great photographer you can see her blog here.

This is a pictures of Aidan and I taken at her home she even let me have a go on the camera, I need a new camera ;) hint hint hubby, if your reading.

Summer slow down

Please!!!! We have had such a great summer this year even though the weather has mainly been wet, we got away as a family for a week in Glasgow and have spent our days full of activities. Botanical Garden.

Science Center

Open top bus tour

Trips to new parks

All this has equaled to a wonderful fun filled Summer I just wish it would slow down a little only 2 more weeks and my wee boy will be back at school.
