I am giving a heads up to my readers, blogging may be a bit briefer during week days for a bit as I am back in school invigilating and so have less time.
We had a disappointing day today. We covered everything, moved a heap of furniture and prepared for new windows in our library and the scrap room. The people didn't turn up and said they were sorry - they ought o have phoned. Yes they ought. Nigel waited in for them.
We have agreed to another date and a reduction in cost but it was disappointing as we moved so much stuff and have had to put it back again.
It was fun to be back into school but my knee is protesting. It has gone from doing very very little to over 7000 steps today and it knows it!
I have managed some scrapping though. I made the daily prompt page for today and for yesterday.
Hearts today so I scrapped Paris
I even managed to hand stitch some heart embellishments.
Yesterday was journalling so I did a page journalling how we had the most amazing upgrade in Paris. We had booked the cheapest room in a very nice hotel and I was cheeky enough to ask that as it was our 25th wedding anniversary, could we possibly have one with a view if available. They upgraded us to a two-floor duplex apartment filled with antiques and with a view of the Eifel Tower. One night cost more than our entire booking. We were very very blessed.
I also made this page for a challenge on UK Scrappers
Today I am thankful that work is done - 2 sessions out of 21 completed - and yes I am counting. I am meant to be retired!
Isn't it amazing that we recognize the fact we were meant for retirement? LOL! It was probably best we didn't feel that way when we were working with students :-D :-D :-D
The layered hearts are so much fun on your layout, and I would have NEVER guessed they were hand-stitched. I am in awe of the room you and Nigel got for your 25th :-) What fabulous memories.
I hope your knee can keep up with your work schedule. Take care!
