Have you done a challenge yet?

Have you? No entries so far for the May challenge....is this stash going to waste? Can promise you a bumper bag of goodies this month, including some lush BG papers for the winning entry. If you haven't yet checked out the challenge click on it on the top right of my blog to take you straight to the details.

Quietish day yesterday, still trying to recover the house from leaving Pete in charge for a night and a half with two very poorly kids, washing machine still hasn't stopped. Did finish my Maze book from the Alison Doherty class from the weekend. I love these little Maze books and they're so simple to make. Alisons incorporated tags in the pockets and instead of a ribbon closure, it was bound just like a little book with regular covers.

We used the gorgeous Autumn Leaves foofala papers and they were stunning. Also the lushest velvet papers, soooo strokeable which we used to make the daisies. I filled mine with pics of the ickle ones having fun painting in the half built conservatory making a hideous mess. Don't know about you, but i'm certainly NO Martha Stewart. My house definately looks like there are 4 kids living here. I could run myself into an early grave trying to make sure everything is always spick and span but i don't. Instead i choose to enjoy my time. I do what i need to do and the rest of the time i enjoy at home. When you look back on your childhood do you think about how tidy your house was...or do you think about the time you used to play and be happy and enjoy childhood? I'd rather sit and glue stuff with the kids than wash the kitchen floor, read a book rather than iron a mountain of clothes. And you know what...I don't care!
