BACK HOME . . . .

After our wonderful holiday in St Andrews, I got my wish the weather was glorious and we were out all day every day :D


Alan, Blair and Jack walking the old course. . .




Craig and Jack at our favourite beach opposite the Old Course




Lauren and Jack having a blast on the go carts




And Jack having his favourite strawberry ice cream on Market Street



We took loads of photos and have uploaded all of them to the pc so, no excuses for NOT scrapbooking them now LOL.


I took my new Lili of the Valley stamps, some memento inks, cardstock and copics with me so I could practice my colouring technique. . . I'm getting there but it's taking longer than I thought to get the hang of these markers. Lauren said it's because I'm a perfectionist and shouldn't be so critical of myself BUT I think I'm just PANTS at colouring with them LOL

Having inspected the course Blair and Jack concluded that it was in perfect condition for "The Open" :D

I HAVEN'T LEFT THE COUNTRY......

and to prove it I even have some crafty stuff to blog !!!
Due to life getting in the way I have badly neglected my blogee :(

It's not all been doom and gloom though as I managed to fit in a trip to Disneyland Paris in February. We had a great time and DGS Jack had a ball this year as he can now walk/run... and LOVES Mickey Mouse......I wonder who he gets that from :D :D

I made this little book ( using my trusty BIA ) for Jack with photos of our trip to DLP last year, it isn't my usual style as it had to be quite simple and easy to follow. He LOVES it :D :D
Please excuse the photos they are a bit blurry, I was in a hurry to take them before dinner :D
