I scrapped!!! Woohoo!!!

Seriously, I did. Actually this page was done by Friday but weather, life and other stuff prevented me from taking the photo. I did it for challenge #29 on SSD. I had to find inspiration from this blog. The photography was a bit beyond me but I love her idea of telling a story with a few captions. The beauty of hybrid of course, is that, the smiley paper was completely altered to fit the theme. It was yellow and red with “sick” and fever” scribbled all over it. I love photoshop.

Journalling reads:this is a story of a girl who: 1 -was able to concentrate intently; 2 -coversed animately; 3 -smiled often (my favourite); 4 -argued with passion; 5 -oh, and cried a river and drowned the whole world.
The quote at the top:“if the eyes are the window to the soul, your face would be the French doors standing wide open to your heart”

I did not get to sorting out that basket photos but I did manage to flood the bath room. Actually half the flat was covered in half an inch of water. If you think half an inch is not much you would be wrong. The under felt of the passage carpet is all bunched up and the previous owners put carpet over wooden floors.

In other news Nikita goes back to school tomorrow. Stationery is bought and labled. Those little white labels on everything she did herself in excel and stuck them on each every item. Books are covered, well most of them. We got two thirds of the way and ran out of paper. All I need to do is put a hem in her school uniform and she will polish her own shoes. Best Wishes to all teachers.

This week I will finish covering those school books and sort that basket of photos and… oh yes, write some.
