Are there more trees

...around now than there used to be? Everywhere seems to be knee-deep in Autumnal shades of leaves and the trees are not even bare yet...

Went a-scrappin' yesterday. Had a great time & managed 2 whole layouts. When I showed Mark he said, very nice, and what did I do for the rest of the day. Funny. It's a long process being a creative genius ha ha.
This:

My Guitar Hero (after the DS game Oliver is playing), a layout just because I wanted to, and this:

Week 44 of SLYMI - scrap something which scares you. Well, my list of choices stretched pretty far here, but settled for this one, which is actually a fear that I cannot run away from, and how I handle it will determine how much confidence my son will face the world with....
Scary thought indeed.

Mark is giving the pigeons a bath - don't ask - and he has been in filling up buckets with water and dettol and now the whole house pongs of it and reminds me of school and puke. Lovely.

Oliver went to a Halloween party last night, and I bravely girded my loins and threw myself into staying there and joining in, and, I have to say - it was surprisingly enjoyable. Perhaps being sociable and joining in has something going for it after all lol.

2 whole layouts in a day? I'm lucky if I do that in a month. They're fab, and the little devil is great :)

I am not really a joiner but I wish I was - because joining in is pretty good sometimes! In scrapping news I went to a wedding with Shimelle on Friday and heard all about the closure of the big scrapping magazine etc... the crazy lives you people lead.

Glad you enjoyed the cupcakes - eat 'em quick because two days later they start to get a bit dry :(

The LO's are fab - definitely works better with the yellow theme for the SLYMI one.

Oliver looks great in his Halloween outfit and glad you enjoyed it too.
