First baby boy page!

It was so nice to take a little bit of time to do some scrapping after about 8 weeks of not doing any! This page came together over the course of a couple of days - not something that usually happens, I usually like to sit down and finish a layout once I've started but obviously that's not practical anymore so I'm going to have to adapt my scrapping style!

I used lots of the gorgeous new Pebbles Inc New Arrival range along with plenty of other bits & pieces, and I'm really pleased with how it's turned out. There are so many things I want to write about and document, but until I can figure out a way to get those feelings and events down on paper in a way that does them justice it's simple journalling all the way!

Craftiness

Hold the press, I've actually got some photos printed out and some lovely new baby boy stash (Pebbles - new arrival boy). It's the first time I've scrapped in the last 6 weeks & it feels good! I was a bit nervous at starting to scrap pictures of Benjamin, but I figure I can always scrap the same photo twice if it all goes wrong haha! I have the journalling all ready, written a couple of weeks ago thanks to Shimelle's True Stories prompts. I also have fab new iPhone app sketches2scrapbook for inspiration in case i get stuck!
So watch out for a layout soon!

Time flies by...

I know it's a little while since Halloween, but I wanted to show you these cute cute pics of my little boy all dressed up in his pumpkin suit!

I can't believe how big my little baby is getting already! He's almost 6 weeks now, and the days are just flying by. Some days I look at him and think how tiny he is, still so fragile. But other times I see a real little boy, full of character and love. He's smiling lots now, which is just amazing (he's got such a cheeky grin!), and he's starting to show interest in toys and lights - he's fascinated by mirrors and shiny things!

A little reminiscing about being pregnant - it seems like a long long time ago that I was this size! He's grown a bit since he was born, but I'm still totally amazed that he fitted in there! I made this page for a sketch challenge over at Sarah's Cards, but I wanted to share it here too. The journalling, a letter to 'baby' was written about 2 weeks before he was born.

The new arrival!

Announcing the arrival of Benjamin!







A little delayed in updating - I've been totally wrapped up in my new mummy bubble & busy cuddling my son! Yup, it's a boy!
Benjamin was born 12 days late on 10/10/10 at 10:27pm - I forgive his lack of timekeeping since it means he has the coolest birthday ever! He weighed in at an impressive 9lb 14oz and has the cutest little chubby cheeks u have ever seen.







We are so totally in love & completely over the moon to be a little family of 3. We are all doing well.







Posting from my phone since I haven't really been bothered to sit at the computer yet, but I have a whole load of photos to share already - he'll be 2 weeks old tomorrow & already the time is flying by!

No news

Quick update:
No news is, well, no news in this case!
I'm still here, still pregnant and now overdue.

Fancy a sketch?

The new sketch challenge is up over at Sarah's Cards - you could win a £10 e-voucher so get creating! More deets over on the blog, but here is the sketch (designed this month by Rachel Ward) and my take on it using gorgeous MME papers and one of my favourite wedding photos.



Documenting July 2010

I'm not really 'keeping up' with this project, but I am loving how the album is coming along, so I don't mind that I've only just finished July's pages!

I'm especially enjoying looking back at my bump photos over the weeks - I felt huge at this stage, but my it's grown a lot more since then!!

So, July's pages using the Cosmo 'Delovely' range.
