I decided to use some of the clear stamps that I bought to create a page of Lauren's first day at school. I didn't get the stamping quite right but I am pleased with the simplicity of the page. I think I have finally "found" my scrapping style; simple layouts, straight lines and little patterned paper scraps.
Lauren's swimming lessons are still going well however Amy is most put out that she isn't going swimming too. I decided to take her a week or so ago , which she loved but it all ended rather abruptly when she cut her cornea (ouch!) by throwing her swim ring up in the air and it somehow managed to scrape her eye! We made an impromptu visit to the optician who examined it under a microscope, confirmed the cut and prescribed some antibiotic eye drops!! Thankfully there is no lasting damage and her eye has completely healed.
The first of the school birthday parties was held the other day and teh kids could wear fancy dress - I usually groan at the thought of fancy dress but decided to meet the challenge head on....and so Lauren was...Tinkerbell, complete with glittering make up and hair, which by the time she had twirled and danced round our house found itself on to our carpet, floors, chairs etc.
Finally, a proud mummy moment! - I left Lauren to ballet this morning and was informed by her teacher that she had won the "most promising pre-school award" for her ballet last year. She has to attend a small presentation next week and get her photo taken. I have no recent ballet photos but here is one of the prima ballerina last year.
Have a good week!

What a fab "proud mummy" moment! And well done Lauren too! :o)
disney's Tinkerbell will be out of a job!! Best to warn her that Lauren will be coming soon.Mum xx
You better get used to the fancy dress party - it's a primary school must! Love the layout and am almost feeling your excitement at the arrival of new stash. I've got 3 gift certificates for 2peas from my birthday which I'm taking extra special care with:)
Gorgeous pics - my 2 dd's have well outgrown the fairy stage unfortunately.
As for the shipping costs, customs and 3 weeks delay...THIS is why you must give digi a try - instant downloads/gratification, no shipping, and you can continue to reuse your fav stash without it ever running out. What more could a scrapper ask for?
I too like the simple style :)
I was beginning to think that it was only me in England that got caught by the customs charges! I love your simple page and how you picked the colour of the cardstock to pick out the colour in Lauren's tie. We're coming over the weekend after next, so maybe I'll see you in church on Sunday 2nd Nov. Take care, Jo x
