{The Christening}

It happened.

All the stress, nerves, worrying and planning but it happened. And as far as I know everyone had a lovely time - downside - I hardly took any pictures! Luckily Laura & Hubby were guests and she did an amazing jobs capturing all the scrapbooking moments (all the photos below are hers! Amazing right?! I love them all!!) I do have lots of pictures of the guests getting a bit merry and having a dance.

Things I want to remember:-

How well behaved my lil'man was. He was so good seeing as that morning before he was extremely grumpy!

How he moved his head out the way when the priest was trying to anoint him!

How he flinched when his head got wet!!

How I made a speech, thanking everyone for all there help!

How generous everyone was.

How K, Me and M danced too 'ain't nobody'

Onto the pictures - thanks again Laura xx

I went to a crop at the weekend, I have been doing to this crop for over 3 maybe nearly 4 years now! And this past weekend was my first full crop attendance (well I went last month too but did not scrap - i made christening invites and some of my friends wedding invites!) since being about 7 months pregnant. And it felt so good - to cut, glue, stick, drink tea and a Starbucks hazelnut skinny latte (yum!) and to chat with the other ladies. I find with scrapbooking you ending sharing and knowing so much about these other ladies lives. So catching up at a crop you are really just have a good ol'natter! lol! These ladies have been great even though I am not always around on UKS as much (i find blogging,facebooking and twittering and being a mummy/housewife hard enough! lol!) they are still so welcoming. Thanks!!

Onto the layouts..... (i was thinking of saving some for another post but decided against it so apologies in advance!!)

{Twisted Sketch #65}

This weeks sketch is up!! And the twist is 'Metal' - me I automatically though brads. Yay that's metal - but do you think I could get them to work on my layout!??!!! EERRRR NO!! so i grabbed my 'metal' box and managed to unearth a metal label holder - which I think I have had for a million years (ok maybe not that long!) but it worked!

I used a fairly old photo - well from Jan - when I was heavily preganant and my sister threw me a baby shower!

supplies used : Paper - crate paper, studio calico & Lillybee, some random brown sequined trim, kraft cardstock, and of course thickers!!

In my world - I have been knitting (finally finsihed a pair of socks I started ages ago!) watching a lot of TV and generally not doing much else - however September is a busy month for the Edwards/Inkpen's - starting this weekend with Laura's wedding! xx
