Learn Something New 2010

Sorry everyone but we're having a bit of a cheating post today. This week has been so so mental at work that I've not had time to keep up with life outside of it. I didn't even have time to WOYWW this week :(  But I did manage to catch up with LSNED last night and this evening, so here are my posts. This should roughly keep you up to date with what I've been doing and I'm hoping that I can dig myself out of this hole during the weekend to do some proper posts and some layouts.

Learn Something New 2010

Here are the posts for 2nd & 3rd of September. Sorry for quickie post today but relatives are all about to descend. Been up since 7 (why can't I do that in the week when I need to??) and all tidied by 9am. So I've had 2 and a bit hours to catch up with Shimelle whilst sneaking peeks out of my window to see if they have arrived (even though I knew it wouldn't have been them, another lesson there I think!) 
Full pic-a-nic report tomorrow, and hopefully i'll be able to get some nice photos as well.

Learn Something New 2010

Ok, so here is post 1 for LSN 2010. All done digitally and all my own work (though I did pinch the paperclip from a google image search) 

Still not sure on the format, especially when I've seen everyone elses lovely paper albums but I just don't have time to do a paper one, and I needed to get started with something. The bonus with digital is that if I decide I don't like it, I haven't wasted a scrap in the process. 

The story behind the lesson, or should it be a reminder, is that my mum & stepdad are coming for a visit this weekend. I had invited stepsisters, step bruv-in-law and supercute nephew, but as it was a bit last minute I didn't expect that they'd be able to come. But I got a phone call last night from mother to say that big sis is coming with nephew!! Hooray!!! I am very excited as its going to be the longest period of time that I've seen him. (Its also good practice for the OH, as I'm slowly starting to brainwash him into the merits of a little addition!) So its a good reminder for me that sometimes the things I wish for do come true. Fingers crossed for the lottery this w/e!!

Learn Something New 2010

Just a quick one tonight, to show off my page template for Learn Something New, Shimelle's new class that starts tomorrow. Been sweating over it all weekend, as I want it to try and reflect my schoolday self a little. Tried loads of different directions, but I think i've got it cracked now. 

No cover yet, but I have a clear idea in my mind and a month in which to do it. For those that might be slightly confused, the two doodles along the left and bottom are my favourite 2 doodles. The bottom one was a challenge that I remember, in that you have to create that shape without going over a line, or lifting your pen. There are several ways of doing it, and it can be done at any time, on the phone, in the shower etc etc etc. 

Handwriting was done using a mouse and my right hand (i'm a leftie!) so I'm quite pleased with it. Not sure what the class is going to entail so a nice big space is really useful. And that's about it.

If you want to join in, its here on Shimelle's site. I loved her Blogging for Scrapbookers, and this one looks just as good. And i'm doing it with Mum so I already have 1 buddy to swop ideas with. I'm planning to play along and do my blog posts so you might get a bit unindated, please bear with me.
