Really enjoying this. I've broken out the camera again and tried the Christmas lights challenge, got a shot of the poinciana flowers covering the hill at my bus stop, scrapped a tiramisu recipe that I used one day.

I'm stuck though without a photo on a day with the quote " like father like son". It would normally be a piece of cake to get that photo in this house, but not this time. I could write a story I suppose...

I'll have to take some piccies of mine again soon. All up to date except for today's.....it's been raining and I thought a photo of rain would have to do but I forgot. Ended up bringing home a serviette from the restaurant where we had tea tonight so at least I have something.

Have been keeping up with the pics but not with getting them scrapped.

I've got mine scrapped... just got to load them and get them on here...
Paiges birthday today - so I'll scrap her pic tomorrow.

BUT - I'm not sure I like getting my album ready beforehand! THis is the first time I have, the other two I did as I went along in December - and I think that I like doing that better - I've already had to re-organise! I should really leave this judgement till I finish and then see what I think...

I learn with every one I dooooo!

Yeah, I find I'm squishing things in and around mine too although I doubt that I would actually keep as up to date with mine if I did have to do it all as I went along. So far the only thing is, I think I will go bigger next year although I do like the feel of the little one in my hand.....feels all homely and loved. like it's been around for years already.

Here we go my first five days..... kinda...
