A Week in the Life - Day one review

Well I snapped away all day on my phone yesterday as part of A Week in the life (Ali Edwards class) - wish I had taken them with my camera to be honest but with the size I am planning on printing my photos I think my camera phone will suffice. Also means I get to share faster on Instagram and Facebook!

Monday morning cup of tea in my Matt Cardle Letters Tour mug
Rob (10) making his breakfast
My baked omlettes (first attempt & tasty as!)
Spot of lippy and I'm good to go
Boys dropped at kids club (half term)
Drive to work
Day in the office (LBE - Civic Centre)
Gym classes at lunch (circuits and abs)
Gorgeously warm autumnal day
Left over homemade tutkey & veg curry for lunch
Pick up kids and purchase pumpkins
Fred the Hamster fed treats
Colour indexed my stains ahead of retreat
Finalised retreat class layout
Jamie (7) camped out alongside my bed
Early night to finish my book.

Day two (today) will be shared tomorrow. Hope you are having fun if you're joining in. I have yet to decide how I will record these but I am thinking a standard layout with my fave(s) photos and journaling and day reference with an accompanying project life style page. Might make a start this weekend whilst away with the ATDML girls!

From under my rock

Crawling out from under my blogger rock not realising how long it had been. Sure with social media sites such as Facebook and Instagram and I do hang out on Pinterest a fair bit I appear to have left my blog behind. Alas I think I might have missed it and so on tthe eve of an online activity with Ali Edwards to "document a week in the life http://aliedwards.com/2014/10/week-in-the-life-2014-getting-ready" and with November's Art Every Day approaching I think it's time to type away my ramblings again. Of courseDDecember will bring about the return of Timmy the Elf and his festive antics andthen with have a new year with all its good intentions. Add a few Throwback Thursday posts, sharing of my scrapbooking projects for my crop Enfield ScrapMates and for theAATDML design team gallery and  I've reallreall no excuse to stay silent!

See you tomorrow (even if I'm typing to myself!)
