March Document 2011 in the making

Here is my latest 6x4 style page for March Document 2011...I found these little pouches quite hard to work with but I think overlapping is the key rather than treating them as separate tiny LOs. This one was the most overlappy of all of the pages I've tried so far...in fact I just did a 12x12 LO and then sliced it up!

Are you doing Document 2011?

Spring

Oh how I love the Spring!

Did all my meetings outside yesterday and it was lovely...I can't handle the full-on summer heat, I head for the shade and moan a lot. So spring is perfect for me Sun without too much burn, lovely!

Adam took this photo last week whole we were in Cornwall, don't you think Daffodils just sum up the season so well?!

Document 2011 - Feb

February was a pretty challenging month overall, but it did include some really lovely moments too...





My main pages highlight my time at drinkshopdo and a lovely long walk along a great bit of Dorset coastline...

Document 2011 - Jan

Having seen all the fabulous Document 2010 pages turn up in blogland last year I really wanted to create some of my own. I've always scrapped life as it comes, just chronologically scrapping the events of life since 2007, so all my scrapbook albums are annual. However I wanted to do this Document style to actually cut back a bit on my scrapping, I was scrapbooking so many pages of the same event and much as I love them 3 massive D-ring albums per year is just too much! So I've gone for this approach for 2011.

Here are my 2 event pages...

...staying in a gorgeous hotel called Shendish Manor and going out for dinner for my Mother-in-law's 50th birthday.

And here are the little details of my January...



I've managed to do February as well so sometime soon I'll get them posted on here!

Hope you're all well bloggers,

much love Hx

My February Highlights

Courtesy of a quite exciting new app I've made a collage of highlights from last month...I must get round to actually scrapbooking them!

DrinkShopDo

I just went to the most amazing place!

www.drinkshopdo.com

It's tucked away behind kings cross station and is totally worth a visit! Everything in there is for sale, you can even buy the cup they serve your tea in. We played scrabble, ate cake and you can even knit!

2010

I have had so little time to blog, I haven't even read blogs! I haven't scrapbooked for months and I'm getting withdrawl symptoms! Sorry I've been away, I've been starting a new job...it's been daunting and scary and exciting and I miss my boss who I've taken over from a lot! But anyhow when it comes to the end of December I love to look back over the year and have enjoyed reading everyone elses too, so here's my 2010...

JANUARY

Started with snowy walks and wintery weather, went to IKEA, saw my family and enjoyed a cold day out at Kew Gardens

FEBRUARY

Was a fabulous month, including my birthday, treat to see Strictly Come Dancing on tour, over night stay in Brighton, a lovely valentines day, a half term trip to Dorset and Adam enjoying pancake day with my littlest sister. We spent a long weekend in Devon with Adam's family.

MARCH

A less fabulous month trying to take hormone regulating drugs that made me feel so so yuck. But we did have an amazing day at work, this is my amazing boss singing 'A whole new world' on Disney Singstar...I mean singing in the loosest sense of the word.

APRIL

Back to my old self and had a great Easter in Dorset, Adam's Grandparents came to stay and we took them to our favourite place in London, Golders Hill Park. We went to a wedding a beautiful location, visited an animal sanctuary and went on a date in Southend, met up with my mum and sisters in Winchester and took my kids club on a great weekend away.

MAY

Went to Madame Tausards with some very good friends for Bank Holiday, Adam was on TV on a programme called hospital heroes. We went to Centerparcs with my Mum, Dad and Sisters and had a truly wonderful weekend.

JUNE

I spent a week in hospital having an emergency cystectomy...not fun. Adam's sister got married...very fun. Went for a picnic, met up with childhood friends and had a lovely evening celebrating Grannie's 80th birthday.

JULY

We moved flat with the help of some wonderful friends, we went to many BBC recordings courtesy of some of those same great friends, my brother and his wife came over from America and had a wedding ceremony this side of the pond and our friend had a baby, called Isaac.

AUGUST

I went to hospital, again. It was long, painful and extremely tedious. Adam turned 25. And on the 31st August we flew to Dublin to spend 3 relaxing days in the countryside, recovering from the summer.

SEPTEMBER

We enjoyed the last day of sun in London town. Went to the butterfly house with my family and I gained 3 new colleagues at long last!

OCTOBER

I went on a fantastic team building retreat with my boss and colleagues. Adam's grandparents came to stay, we took them to Kew Gardens and on a Thames River cruise. We went to Devon and Cornwall with Adam's mum and her husband. I took Lydia to see Billy Eliot in Victoria.


NOVEMBER

I had another operation, spent a few weeks in bed. At the end of the month we went for a blissful, relaxing, snowy spa day. Lush.

DECEMBER

Lots more snow, lots of work, lots of Christmas based activities. I cooked my first Christmas dinner and we shared with wonderful friends.

2010 felt quick. Very quick.
