{Christmas, Chilly and Card}

No updates for the last few days as I was on the edge of my seat waiting for exam results to come out, and yesterday they did - I passed! I'm now a doctor, wow thats wierd! I can't quite believe that the last 5 years have come to an end - graduation is next week and I'm sure that will make it feel more real.

Here are the last few days prompts - tomorrow's is "celebrate" - something I'm certainly in the mood for :D

{Cosy}

"Cosy" - is it me or is it one of those words that the more you looks at it the more wierd it looks?!
Anyway, this is my cosy - a gorgeous scented candle by yankee candles, tis one is called holiday home sweet home and it just smells of christmas! I've just noticed you can see out tree lights reflecting in the glass jar, well I guess that adds to the cosiness of the whole thing :D

{Show off Sunday!}

A Christmassy photo to get us all in the festive mood - this is from last year :)
Our tree went up yesterday, and very pretty it is, all golds and reds. I love how it makes the house feel so cosy. The rest of the decorations will go up today - the tree took so long to do we didn't get time to do the rest yesterday!

Eeks, it's me again!

Yup, another picture of me - scary! I find it funny how one person can look so different - I think I look completely different in my 3 self portraits so far, I also think I look totally different in the mirror than I do on camera! This is good practice though - I need to get used to having my photo taken for the wedding!

And my third LO of my stash diet - the photo is my sister on holiday this year, the papers are sassafrass lass and the sketch is a becky fleck page map from august i think.


Today being the first day of advent I got to open the first parcel of my advent swap - my Santa had cut me a whole bunch of titles for wedding pages and they are great! I can't wait to use them, but obviously there's still almost 7 months left, so they are going in my wedding drawer! I'm chuffed to bits with them, and can't wait to open tomorrow's gift :D

Stash diet!

Yup, I've decided that I have too much stash and am putting myself on a diet! I intend not to buy anything else until I have completed 35 layouts, although I will still be getting my monthly kits.
I made a start by doing two more layouts using pencil lines sketches number 57 and number 60. Here they are.



I have just counted up, and it turns out that so far in 2007 I've done 35 layouts exactly, which means I'm going to have to get my scrapping butt in gear if I ever want to buy anything again!

{Rough, Smooth and Bristles}

This week's prompts are textures - so here are rough, smooth and bristles :)

{Wet}

This is what is wet in my space today - the garden!
I tried so hard to get this really sharp, but there was quite a breeze and this was the best i could do. still, i just love the colour, it looks like velvet!
