♥ A little stack of five metallic washi tapes.

To enter just leave a comment below and be a follower of scraps of us.

I am happy to post worldwide and the closing date for the giveaway is 10th Dec. The winner will be picked at random and announced on my blog on the 11th Dec.

Good luck lovely people. x

Brighton...

26 Nov 2012




























Yesterday morning we headed over to Brighton  - my favourite place! It was forecast to rain from lunchtime so we thought we might get an hour or two before any showers. Then as soon as we arrived came huge black clouds and the biggest downpour. Luckily it only lasted a few minutes and the sun came back out. We decided to give any shopping a miss with the kids and instead walked along the seafront and the pier stopping for some chips.

Instagram & 52 Weeks of Happy 3/52

20 Nov 2012


 
I got a new phone a couple of weeks ago and I'm now finally on Instagram. I don't have loads of photos on there yet and I'm still working it all out, but I am loving it so far. Its great to actually have a decent camera on my phone to capture those little everyday moments that I would otherwise miss because I don't have my big camera to hand. I'm loving the quickness off instagram too, being able to just share my pictures so easily. I have been playing around with a few other apps too, mainly Fuzelpro and Afterglow for the frames and collages and Picfx for the bokeh effects. If anyone has any others they recommend I would love to hear. 
 

So these are my happy moments from this week - from my Instagram.

♥ Making little faces all around the house with these light switch stickers.

♥ Archie picking me flowers from the garden.

♥ Elizabeth's star award sticker from school. We went to her parents evening this week and it was lovely to hear that she is doing so well.

♥ Drawing with chalks in the garden.

Hope your all having a happy week. x

Hello Mr Squirrel

18 Nov 2012


 

 

 
 


 



 

 






Another gorgeous sunny day. Another Autumn walk in the park. This time we remembered to stop off on the way and buy some nuts to feed the squirrels. Its so sweet watching them take all the nuts from your hand and bury them in what looks like random little holes in the ground, storing them all up in preparation for the winter months. I do wonder how they ever find them all again.

Some of the trees were starting to look quite wintry now, with just a few little leaves still hanging on. Elizabeth loved playing in all the fallen leaves, shuffling her way around the bandstand to achieve as much crunching noise as possible. She called it her rustle walk!
