I have joined in on a photo challenge over at OSS 31 things that make you smile...... well I have missed some days, BUT here are some of the things so far this month :D


My gorgeous kids

This is a picture that Brad drew... I normally stuggle to get him to draw anything other than scribble, so to walk into the lounge and see him doing this without any prompting really made me smile (the words he asked me to write so he could copy)

Sian with her jumper on back to front... at least she is starting to try and dress herself ;)

This was a gorgeous rak and trivia prize that I won both from OSS :D and a lovely mail art card from Charm as well

This is Sian changing her dolls nappy ... after it sat on the potty LOL


This is the first Daffodil in our garden this season (have loads of jonquils though)



The girls over at OSS never fail to make me smile :D

and another of the Daffodil... just cos I love how the photos of it turned out :D

Scrap'n Crazy DT Comp

I made it half way through the competition and I am pretty happy with that as all the LO's were very impressive.

So here are my entries (now that I can share ;) )

Round 1 - Use Red/pink/brown in a 60:30:10 ratio (this freaked me a little and I am sure I only got through because there were people who didn't complete their entries)





Round 2 - Was to use a Becky Fleck sketch that was designed for SNC



Round 3 - Texture now this is where I bombed out, but I am not really disappointed.
I had used Bazzill Bling, Chipboard, crumpled/torn paper, corduroy, felt and some gems. But I am not really a 'texture' type girl and compared to the other LO's I really didn't have alot of texture. Them's the breaks I guess LOL
