{Documenting February 2011}

Staying up to date with this year's Document project so far yippee!

So, here's my pages for February, starting with the 'Benjamin update' page & his 4 month photo. I think the best thing about this month of his life was the proper laughs we had - so adorable. He also learnt to sit up, to screech & to roll onto his side. He now sleeps all night long, from 10:30pm - 7:30am which is pure bliss!

Next up, February's main event, which was a weekend away with the family to a lovely barn in rural Suffolk. We spent the weekend eating lots of yummy food, playing silly games & going for walks. It was a bit chilly but I made everyone line-up for a photo lol!

Lastly, February's mini pages. This month included lots of photos going up on the walls, waffles with malteasers & ice cream for breakfast, playing with great-granny, valentines day, and Mungo sleeping in lots of silly places!

The retreat

At the weekend I had a wonderful time up in Warrington at the Sarah's Cards Retreat. It was great to get together with old friends and to meet those I hadn't already met.




The weekend included 6 classes from my talented fellow DT, and whilst they were ongoing the crop room fell silent & looked like this...




I had the pleasure of working the shop and oh my there were lots of goodies! Gorgeous new stash from Echo Park, American Crafts, My Minds Eye & Sassafrass amongst others. Yes I did buy a few things, I'll share later! I tried not to go too mad, after all new Crate, Cosmo Cricket, Fancy Pants, Maya Road, October Afternoon & more are due in soon!

It was a little odd being away from my little boy for the first time, but we all managed, and while I was away he learnt to do this...




Amazing how quickly they change!

The giggler

My little boy did his first little laughs a couple of days ago. We've had squeals for a few weeks now, but not a proper laugh like this. Apparently gargling with water is hilarious. Who knew?!
Be warned - this laughter is highly infectious!

4 months old!

Seems only a moment ago I was taking his 3 month old photos - that month has flown by!

Love Nest

The February kit from Sarah's Cards features the 'Love Nest' range from Glitz Designs. This kit is packed full of gorgeous papers and fab embellishments from some of my favourite manufacturers including stickers from Crate and brads from Dear Lizzy at American Crafts. This month's kit is amazing for both masculine and feminine pages - I love it! Have you checked out what is coming up in the next few months? Some amazing paper ranges hot off the press from CHA, I can't wait!

Here's a little peek at what is coming your way in February's kit.

Grab Bag

A random selection of photos of the little man from December and January. Just because.

 

Just the Two of Us

A picture from our first wedding anniversary this time - I was feeling a bit overwhelmed by the large (enormous!) pile of Benjamin pics that I grabbed an older me & him photo instead. My first attempt at misting and I LOVE it, I'm converted! I tend not to use plain cardstock anymore, but a little misting and it's all jazzed up :)
