It was the christmas light turn-on in Hucknall tonight. Tom was on parade with the beavers, and they all had fun. Tom even got to say hello to Santa. We enjoyed eating pipping hot chips on the way home.

Day 3 – I thought i would keep it simple after a busy weekend. We are back at work, Tom at school then Beavers, Phil weekly shopping. He brings me a princess advent calendar. Its like being a kid all over again. I love my husband. x
I have managed to miss-place my numbers already. I will stick them on when I do, or print out some new ones.
What a fun filled day we had, I think we were all very excited.
I’m going to try a few different techniques and today it was using the website pic monkey
http://www.picmonkey.com/ to create collages. My story today was going to be a long one so i’ve also included an insert of the adventures. Tom was very well behaved in a very busy Meadowhall in Sheffield.
My favourite picture and one that I know will come back out over the years to come is the one with Santa, Tom and all 3 sisters. You can see the excitement in all our eyes. Its not everyday you get to see Santa now is it?
Day 1 was a great start. Phil was at work, Tom comes running into the bedroom after finding his advent calendar. It took tom ages to find no1. You love reading all the packet. After breakfast its a 2 hour trip to the hairdressers. Tom sits lovely, writing xmas cards, reading, then playing on your DS. As we walk back to the car we enjoy streaming hot chips in a cone. Ive started a new job this autumn, and this evening was the xmas night out. We enjoyed a lovely meal at Browns in Nottingham. The food and company was great. I even got bought a very hot alcoholic shot as a welcome to the team. What a great first day in December!!!!
My second year at the December Daily – thanks to Ali Edwards for her inspiration.

Yehhhh the 1st of December has arrived. I cant wait to start my December Diary. Thanks to Ali Edwards for the inspiration again. I sat down in the week and ive just finished completing my blank pages. ive tried to keep it simpler this year to help save time.
I found this lovely sketch from pagemaps from their January 2012 archives.
I am trying to document my childhood, so when I get spare days like this it is great looking back at old photos. These photos from 1979 makes me smile. I think it is the innocent smiles on our faces. I certainly look very proud in my Nurses outfit.
Fab memories. x
I love reading the blog and the design sketches on Page Maps. For some unknown reason I got excited when I saw this competition http://www.pagemaps.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/bella-blvd-sketch-contest.html
………….so I thought I would give it a go. I am trying to scrap a load of childhood photos, and I knew straight away what pictures I would use. Some from a very hot sunny Crete family holiday.
My only real nightmare was after drawing pencil lines for my hand writing and carefully writing, I went to rub out the lines and the pen smudged everywhere. I was lucky and it allowed me to rub everything out and start again. Next time, test on a small piece of paper first, and use perm ink!
I used…..
Background – Basic Grey Motifica Jade Paper
Tim Holk, Kraft Core Nostalgic Collection.
(I’m not very good on the sewing machine, so I hand stitched around the page).
Smash Tape – K&Company
Page Title Stickers – Daisy Dandelion Velour
Footprints – EK success Classic Stickers
Small Title & Date – Simple Stories Year-o-graph Expressions Cardstock
Thanks loads for giving me the inspiration Page Maps!!
