Hafermann Happiness

blogged by me domestic goddess On 8/13/2008 06:09:00 PM 5 lovely comments


A day spent with the Hafermann family always leaves me smiling and happy. Today was no exception. We all met up for lunch and then a few games of bowling, a bit of shopping and a visit to the playground. The wind and rain did not spoil our fun. Of course i had to take the group photo to compare last years! They have just got to be the coolest kids in town!!




And here are a few sneak peeks of my mini book class that I will be teaching at Moxley and Scrapping Angels Summer workshop.




Hope you all had a great day, and thanks for stopping by

Monday Monday

so good to me..... It has been so far, LOL. Had a good tidy up today and a massive sort out of the children's play area, another 2 large bin bags full of junk to be binned, hooray!!!


Then i have cracked on designing classes for the Moxley workshop and Scrapping Angels Summer workshop. I completed this layout (sneak peek only) using the gorgeous Jenni Bowlin papers, some Prima edging, Lil Davis sparkly title and butterflies! This is a really soft and feminine layout.



I am now working on a cute "All about me" or "All About Someone" mini book using some Love Elsie Zoe papers, and KI Memories taglines. This is going to be a shabby and distressed book.
Pencil Lines went live last night. I used the new We R Memory Keepers paper line,and Cherry Arte chipboard, which I love! Decided to do another layout straight after , LOL.
I turned the sketch and used multiple photos of Lilly at Sports day. I used a story board to plan my photos in photoshop.





My second layout is of Izzy in her last infants Sports Day, again using the funky We R Memory Keepers papers :). I outlined the flowers and doodled.





The weather has not improved here in the UK, so the girls and I have been crafting and doing some sewing practise .

Hope you have all had a lovely weekend. Thanks as always for stopping by

9 Years ago today

blogged by me domestic goddess On 8/06/2008 09:49:00 PM 6 lovely comments

I became Mrs Bowkis! I cannot believe how time flies. 9 years ago I walked down the aisle, as Anna Wilmot, and turned back as Mrs Bowkis. Now 9 years later, I have 2 amazing and beautiful children, that have made our family complete and who joined us for dinner at Pizza Express. There could not have been a nicer way to have spent our anniversary.


I love you hun xxxx

Silly Sunday

blogged by me domestic goddess On 8/03/2008 10:30:00 PM 7 lovely comments

The weather has remained dry today and after a late start to the day (we woke at 10am!), Peter took us out for Sunday Lunch at Brampton Mill. A gorgeous old mill house situated by the river, with an oldey worldy pub and a lovely 3 floor restaurant. We all settled down to a Sunday Lunch of chicken and beef, scrumptious!. We then headed to the Garden Centre to look at the fish and cute rabbits, and then onwards to Nan's for a cuppa and slice of cake. Its been one of those lazy family Sundays that I love.





Pencil Lines went live tonight with Hebe. I have been looking through my albums and had noticed I haven't scrapped Lilly's first day, i couldn't believe it! so i had to use this weeks sketch for Lilly's first day. I used :


Making Memories passport paper
Basic Grey Boxer diecuts mounted onto chipboard
Fancy Pants felt shapes
Scenic Rubons
Hambly Rubons
Jenni Bowlin Journaling stickers


Lilly looks so young in these photos, although on the day I though how grown up she looked.

I have a busy week planned, designing my autumn classes. The girls are off to a cheer leading workshop tomorrow afternoon, and I plan to go for a run or a swim, depending on the weather.

Thanks as always for stopping by

A few layouts

blogged by me domestic goddess On 8/03/2008 12:11:00 AM 8 lovely comments
Its the weekend, nothing much to blog about, spending time with the girls and Peter.

I had a couple of layouts in TSBM this month which i haven't shared yet. Both were done with the 4 ways kit I was given, lots of gorgeous Pink Paislee Spring Fling to play with.




And here are my Bad Girls Kit creations. A stunning kit which I had lots of fun playing with.






For details on all the Bad Girl layouts please visit the DT gallery

Finally a sneak of a layout I have done for a charity calender that Bubbly Funk are doing.




Hope you are having a lovely weekend, I am hoping to get my sewing machine out tomorrow to make these cute pin cushions!


Hugs and thanks for stopping by

The Good Life

blogged by me domestic goddess On 7/31/2008 12:56:00 PM 6 lovely comments
Well we have had our first crop!, not the largest but a few peas to feed a child and some lettuce's so far. Peter had a ham and homegrown lettuce sandwich today, hehehehe.




Yesterday the pool I ordered was delivered, and thankfully Annie was here to help set it up. Of course the forecast is heavy showers from now on!!, but it hasn't stopped the girls from jumping in first thing this morning.




I have some more sneak peeks from Bad Girls August kit, i am so in love with this kit. At first I couldn't get my head around Wendy's choice of paper, but as soon as I started pulling them out of the box and adding some embellies to the mix and a photo or two, i so got it, she is a genius!!



Finally a glimpse of my project for Easy Crafts, I used last months Bad Girls kit for these.



Hope the sun is still shining for you. I am off to see if the girls have left and water in the pool, I can hear alot of splashing!!

Hugs and thanks for stopping by

Bad Girls and Pencil Lines

blogged by me domestic goddess On 7/29/2008 11:13:00 PM 5 lovely comments
My Bad Girls kit finally arrived late Friday afternoon, and with the party at the weekend I have only just at a chance to open my box and have a play! August's kit is full of vintage goodies that you come to expect from Wendy, an eclectic mix of papers and gorgeous embellishments.
Here is a sneak peek before the reveal on the 1st August.


Pencil Lines went live last night, and we were sponsored by Riff Raff chipboard.

I used this beautiful butterfly on my layout using Scrapping Angels last kit. I painted the chipboard and then added glitter. Adhered only the body to my layout and bent the wings to give the impression of flight.


The summer holidays are in full swing, and for the first time in 5 years, i went swimming with the girls! We had such a blast and will be doing it again next week. I love swimming, just hate my body in a swimming cossie!

Its late, I am about to hit the sack. Tomorrow Annie is coming over to visit, and I cannot wait. She has been in the states for the best part of 5 weeks and I have missed her dearly!


Thanks as always for stopping by

Hugs
