Howdee bloggers and Happy August!! Can you really believe that its the 8th month already??I seriously can't!

Honestly, its the 3rd week of the holidays for me and it only feels like the first. I think come the end of the month I am going to be in shock about going back to work! booo

Anyway lets not dwell on that! I have more and more layouts to share , I am still really liking the plainer backgrounds, but Ithink maybe I need to branch out a little more??? we'll see.

OK so I have scrapped like a TON of wedding pictures already, but as i looked through the album I saw there were gaps in both pictures and journalling so I went back and printed more pictures and got right on it!

Jack and I have been married for 3 years now ( ok so where did that time go??) but it still feels so close, so I feel lucky that I can still journal things that feel fresh. Although I must admit I really want to get the rest done soon as I don't want to forget key points.

Here we go....

My best friend, ( who was not a bridesmaid, long story!) conducted our reading for us and she did the most AWESOME job! She was brilliant, having Bec there for us on the day was just so wonderful, I love her so much, she is the bestest friend I could ask for.

She read 1 Corinthians, a typical wedding reading, but one we loved all the same, and I just wanted to remember how we felt when she read for us. "Love is".... is part of the reading and really love to me is having a best friend like Bec!! Loves :O)

My dad and his sister are still very close knit and its so lovely to see how well they get on, they are in constant contact and I hope that in years to come, my relationship with my siblings is just the same. although I think it might take a bit of work !!! Eeeek !!

You really cannot forget the awesome details, the cutest confetti cones and the beans on the tables. Jelly beans are out signature sweet, I call my lovely hubby Bean, ( i rarely call him jack, unless i am speaking of him) so these were so fitting for our favours!!! and yummy too:)




Ok so pretty much the reason we chose Kelham Hall was this Avenue of trees. Iknew when I saw it what I wanted photo wise, how it framed the hall ( looking the other way) was just awesome. You can walk down here from the church and out guests did just that it was brilliant to see. Simply perfect!! I love it when a plan comes together:)

OOOOps the O fell off the page!!! eek. Ah well, I'll have to hunt for that one!!

So I created this page for a challenge set before the Nottingham Crop Retreat. The plan was to not include a picture of yourself, but instead 4 pictures of things that you like or represent you!! this is me!!! *shock*

Jack made me so proud when he took part in and completed the 60 mile Notts cycle ride a few weeks ago. He has only recently taken up cycling and is so blinking good at it already. He completed the cycle in a brilliant time too!!! honestly watching him ride over that finish line made me cry, I know how hard he worked to get to that stage and he deserves so much credit for it. Bean you make me the proudest wife EVER!! xx

I don't think that it matters whether or not the pattern is Cath Kidston, to Bella, i think she just likes the apron. But mummy loves that we have a matching set, so that's all cool. my girl loves to create, paint, stick, cut, bake, do play dough so why not do it in style??? cutes!!!

This is quite similar to the one above in terms of design, I think I will pop them together in the album!! Bella and Noodles (the cat) get on really well and although at times Bella can be a bit boisterous, noodles is so calm and good with her, she lets her stroke her and feed her biscuits(although i don't think that's any hardship!) she is patient with her and looks out for her. In the night if she cries you can hear noodle downstairs meowing and as if to tell us "hey look she is crying!!!" I hope they continue to have a great relationship as Bella grows.

The title says it all. My two favourite people. :)

and finally, if you are still here, Thanks!.

More Juice "Peas". ( Bella's way of saying please, obvs) Her little way of asking for a drink. Bella lovely to slide under her cute blankie and sip juice. She is a guzzler though and will get through as many cups as you can fill. I am being careful as this is leading to her not wanting too much food!!! hmmm. How cute is she though????

Ok so before you all nod off, I am off. This afternoon I am off for a special birthday treat with my friend Carla, I wont say what it is in case she reads this before she gets here. Its a surprise from me to her. I am wearing a dress though and there will be cake involved!!! BRILLIANT!!!!

I'll pop back with pics soon as she is a scrapper too and I am sure there will be a million pictures taken to scrap!!! YAY!!!

Happy Monday !!
