Project 12 - February 2013

I have completed another page to my project 12 which I am very happy about. 
I used the sketch from the website Scrapbook and cards today

February was very busy so I had a lot of photos to include. I had to miss some out which I was a little disappointed about. One was from pancake day and the other was from when I went out for a meal with my sister and her family. 

I decided on the colour pink as February is linked to Valentines day, but focused on my friends rather than Valentines Day itself. This is the layout I completed.

Again I included the library ticket, the tickets from Hodsock Priory and a picture one of the children had drawn of me. A fun filled month

Project 12 - January 2013

Last year I started project 12 and loved it. Sadly I only got half the way through but I intend on going back and completing the year. 
However I decided to start this years project 12 as it is a great way of remembering what I have done over the month.  I obtained the page design from Scrapbook and Cards Today, Project 12, 2011 designs

My final design is quite different but I wanted to add as much as i could. Here is what I got up to in January. I have blurred out some of the information for personal reasons. 

I am 34

A few weeks ago I spent a lovely day with my sister and friend scrapbooking (and chatting!) My sister had seen a lovely page design from a girl called Kimberly where she described herself in different ways. Below is her layout

We had a great time reading each others descriptions and this is what I came up with. 

These are my descriptions

1. I am either tired, or hungry, or both
2. I like to stand at the window and look – it is not nosey, it is called being observant
3. I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up
4. I love meatballs
5. I moved home 6 times in 5 years
6. I love people watching
7. At university I got a first in an assignment but it was reduced to a 2:1, I still tell everyone I got a first
8. I get really cross with driving instructors who take learner drivers out on the main roads during rush hour traffic when they can’t get out of first gear
9. I miss librarians stamping the return date in the front of library books
10. I hate doors that say no entry or private
11. I like to have company
12. I enjoy learning and would like to achieve a masters degree
13. I am becoming more stubborn and defiant
14. I wish I could tell my younger self (and sometimes my present self) to not care what people think
15. I love it when the children bring the school bear back to class as they get so excited. I also get to find out what they like to do at home
16. I have a stupid sense of humour like my husband and I love it
17. I can’t help but laugh when people fall over
18. I am my own worst critic
19. I find mumbling soooo annoying
20. When I was younger I was a member of the Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan fan club
21. I hate finding new hairdressers and have only had 5
22. Chocolate makes me happy
23. I would love to own a property by the sea
24. I love looking at photos and I don’t care whose they are
25. My favourite author at the moment is Lee Child and Kathy Reichs
26. I don’t like watching new films. I would rather watch one I know is good and makes me laugh
27. I love music with a good drum beat
28. I can get frustrated very easily
29. I would love to have the perfect house, but neither myself or my husband are tidy enough
30. I like watching sport, especially Formula 1
31. At school I did a lot of fundraising for the Guide Dogs for the Blind association
32. When I was little I had an imaginary friend called Peter
33. I am unable to make a decision
34. Lloydy says I am definitely blonde!

I must admit I am a little disappointed with a few of my decisions but I do like it. I especially love the fact that the 3 of us created the same layout, with different interpretations, around the same theme. Looking forward to the next scrapbook day girls :)
