Super Soup Lunch

As I work part time, I have two days off a week - Tuesday and Friday.  Normally these days are spent doing housework, catching up on paperwork etc - the mundane of life.  I always have grand plans to put aside time for some craftiness but never seem mange it.  So today I decided that was going to change and I gave myself permission to spend the day how I wanted to spend it.  Usually when I do this, I have a tendency to faff about deciding what to do and in the end do nothing.  But not today. Today I scrapped.  I did a layout - the first in about six months!  As you can seen below I scrapped the start of my blogging journey.  The tab to the right hand side pulls out to reveal my thoughts on the whole process.  It is also the first time I scrapped in 8.5 x 11.  The jury is still out on this format - however I do have an whole album this size so I do want to learn to like it! The picture is not brilliant - I need to practise more with layout photos.  Hopefully now my mojo is on the rise, I will be able to.


During the day I took time out to go to the "Super Soup" lunch being held at church to raise money for Christian Aid.  The soup was delicious and it was lovely to have lunch with company and join the fight against poverty.  I don't know how much they raised but I think they had over 30 customers.

Finally a reminder that tomorrow is Earth Hour.  If you don't know what I am talking about click on the link to find out.  We are planning a mini event here with some friends.  Are you doing anything?

Nice layout. I like that you're documenting your thoughts at the beginning of your blog journey. On the layout, I really like the stitching and that bottom trim.

Hi Lynn, thanks so much for leaving a comment on my blog, it's always great to know that people have popped by for a visit. Love your blog LO... really should do one of those for my albums as the blog has become as much a part of my scrapping as they are. Don't give up on the 8.5 x 11 size as once you get into it, its a great size to work with and quite addictive!! Annette

I'm liking 8.5x11 or A4 as it actually is in my house :-P Love your page - well done for getting scrapping again - Blogging for Scrapbookers is obviously working for you!

A4 is new to me too. It is the size I am doing my digital Project 365. I am getting used to seeing the pages now! It has only taken me 13 weeks!!:)
