Trethorne Farm

Firstly, don't forget to check out Mojoholder and the new challenge went live tonight and we have scraplifted Theresa Collins this week.  Here is my take on the challenge:

Half term is coming to a close except Ben and Charlotte have an extra day off on Monday due to staff training.

We took the kids to a local farm / adventure park on Wednesday and they had a great time.  They all love animals but especially Amy so they were all in their element.  Here are a few photo's from our day out.

Whilst we were out Ben's third tooth came out and I caught the whole process on camera which is going to make a great layout sometime soon!

Schools Out

So half term begins and we have some plans to take the kids on a few day trips so we are keeping our fingers crossed that the weather holds out. One of the trips is to a local farm / adventure park so I think we will all be wearing our wellies to that one!  I can't wait to see Amy's face when we go to the farm as she loves animals.

I went to the Plymouth crop recently and despite not feeling too great I managed to complete a couple of layouts.  The first one is based on the title of a Charlie and Lola book called 'I will never not ever eat a tomato' which pretty much describes Ben's attitude when it comes to tomatoes.

The little calendar that I made to go on the 'wall' shows the date that the photograph was taken which was actually Ben's sixth birthday.  I made the little glass of milkshake using a Hambly overlay for the glass and the washing machine is actually a little shaker box with a t-shirt and red sock in it.  The blue tiles are miniature mosaic tiles and I just drew the kettle on card and cut it out covering with some metal tape and using a brad for the little handle (it is straight in real life it went a little wonky in the scanner).

The next layout was a really quick one of Charlotte but I love how it turned out.

I also finished a little holiday journal but I have yet to take a photograph of that.

Have a good Sunday :)

Wow

I have The Big Picture in my bloglines, I love looking  the brilliant images but they have really surpassed themselves with a post about World Animal Day showing some fantastic animal images - look at them here.

I am very late in putting up my Bellaboo Design Team work this month so apologies to Liberty.  The October kit was so lovely to work with but wait until you see the November one!  I just love the colours in it and they are perfect for this time of year (and no, it isn't red, green and gold!  Much more muted and beautiful).

Have a good weekend everyone :)
