I have been tagged by the lovely Katherine, to tell you 7 random facts about myself.
Okay, so....
1) I have a phobia of peas - I have been known to have nightmares about them.
2) I have read the Harry Potter books many many many times.
3) I love socks, they are always on my christmas list. I have over 50 pairs - all different colours and patterns!
4) I was Prince Charming in our year 6 school play.
5) Musicals make me happy!
6) I can't stand tea or coffee, or fizzy drinks.
7) I've known I wanted to be a doctor since I was 12, and probably even earlier.
I am coming to the end of my 12 day stint at work and am shattered! I'm so looking forward to a day off. The weekend on was exhausting - both physically and emotionally.
I haven't managed to get any scrapping done, in fact I haven't even properly unpacked from the weekend away! In a couple of weeks my sister is coming down for a girlie weekend so we plan to do some scrapping then - hopefully I'll be unpacked by then but at the rate I'm going who knows!

Back home
After my fab weekend away I went straight to my parents house, met Michael there and then off we went to see his mum too so we've been busy and on the road a lot! It is nice to come home and relax - I'm spending the whole day today in my pjamas, watching high school musical and eating chocolate!
We went to see the new James Bond last night - I enjoyed it, but I'm not sure it was the best ever. We also had dinner out at Frankie and Bennys - I know it's commercial but I love it, their cocktails are fab and the food is right up my street!
Tomorrow we are off to view a potential house - very exciting, especially as it is pink!!
I thought I should finally share some of the work I did at the weekend - I was very productive and loved being able to scrap my little heart out! I did do a few more than this but am thinking of submitting so I won't add them just in case! I even did my very fist 6x12" layout and I like it, I think I'll be trying this size out again in the not too distant future. Seeing as I used up so much stuff, I treated myself to an order during the week which I collected yesterday - included were 15 odd packs of thickers, yes I went a little crazy but I just had to have the foil ones and the puffy ones!

Lushalicious!
I had the most fabulous weekend with this crazy bunch of chickas! We scrapped up a storm - everyone produced some utterly gorgeous and very inspiring layouts. We drank wine, ate chocolate and gossipped likeother for years! Of course we couldn't miss the opportunity to get some pics to scrap, this is one of my faves!
The lovely Sj also very kindly took pics of us by a very autumnal tree lol! I love mine below, thanks hun!
I completed 12 layouts and have done another 2 this morning (I'm on a roll!) which I will get photographed and uploaded by the end of the week.

House hunting is hard!
Yup, it's stressful, emotional and difficult.
On Thursday evening we saw a house that made us smile when we walked through the front door - we were very excited about it and loved looking around. It had beautiful inglenook fireplaces, fab ceiling beams and original floorboards. We went back today to see it in daylight. Unfortunately we had our "sensible hats" on today and it became evident that there was just too much work to do, and a few obstacles that we could not overcome, like no parking, not even on the street. So we are back to square one. In the last few days we've been up and down.
Now I've found details for another house that I'm really excited about, but I get the feeling it might just be a rebound house! I hope not, because I am so excited about buying somewhere, but we'll see.
This week I'm on twighlights again, that means I start work at 1:30pm and finish at 9:30pm. The hours are very odd - in the mornings you feel like you've got the day off, then after lunch off you dash to look after 320 patients single handedly, then home, very late dinner and off to sleep! It is only a 4 day week though, because I get the Friday off yay! Plus it is almost payday again, which has come around very quick!

Time flies!
Oh dear oh dear, almost a month has gone by since I last upadated, I can't believe how quickly the time has flown by! I haven't done any crafting since the layouts I uploaded previously and I am missing it so I'm making a promise to myself to do some scrapping at the weekend!
At least I know I'll be able to do some the following weekend as I'm off on a retreat with some fab girls - some of whom I've met and other I haven't yet. So excited about it, really can't wait for a whole weekend of girlie scrapping!
We are still house-hunting. We've been to see a few places, none of which float our boat so to say! We are seeing somewhere tonight that I'm quite excited about so fingers crossed. Mind you if we waited another few month we might be able to afford even more with the way house prices are going, and with some of our deposit caught up in the whole Icesave debacle yadayadayada maybe it would be sensible. Then again, sensible is just damn dull and when I set my mind on something I want it straight away lol! So we'll see.
I realised I never put any of our offical wedding pics on here, so a few of my faves to brighten up this post!

Scrapagogo Goodness
My September Scrapagogo kit arrived yesterday in the post and it is gorgeous, totally up my street, and to prove it I've done 3 layouts already with it!
I'm so excited about tonight - we are off house hunting! We've been trawling through house details and have picked out a couple to go and view this evening. It will be great to get a better idea of what is available so I can't wait!
We are also getting on well with our wedding photo album, all the details are with the album makers, just got to finalise the details and choose which pictures to have in black and white and which in colour, then off to print - yay!

Inspired
It is a while since I felt inspired to scrap, but finally my mojo is back so I took the opportunity to scrap a couple of wedding and honeymoon photos.
The first is a layout of Michael - this photo was taken just before the wedding ceremony - we had two photographers so during the morning one was with me and the other with michael and his groomsmen. I was so pleased we decided to do it as he got some great shots, especially of them all playing pool! I used some of the July Scrapagogo kit for this one, only adding an Autumn Leaves stamp.
Some honeymoon pictures for this one - from the San Fransisco leg of our trip. I was really looking forward to seeing the painted ladies, I had read about the juxtaposition of the beautiful old houses and the San Fran financial district skyline in the background. The reality didn't disappoint - a gorgeous view! When I saw the little house rub ons from Heidi Grace in the August scrapgogo kit I knew they had to go with these photos!
Finally, one of my favourite wedding photos - i love the classic feel of it in black and white. It really was a perfect day and I'm enjoying scrapping it - at first I felt a bit of pressure to get the layouts so amazing to do justice to the photos, but now I realise that I can just print them off and scrap them again if I want so I should just enjoy it! Anyway, I used little yellow bicycle paper, chipboard and journalling block, making memories glitter letters and journalling blocks, metallic thickers, american crafts chipboard shapes, random lace from scrapagogo kits and stemma big brads, acrylic shape and clip.
