Little Moments ....

Happy Monday ....

The girls are back at school today after the half term break, its quiet..

We had plenty of fun though and as they get older it seems easier to embrace the little moments.

One of the days included another boat trip, something so calming about water and the fresh air is always welcome, here are some photos for you to enjoy...

Will be back tomorrow to show you my first project life spread :)

Halloween Bat Toppers

A couple of fun things to share about this post/project...

I actually had time on Sunday (afternoon) to create these cuties, which if you have read my blog for a while you will know that my projects normally come to life in the evening when the girls are in bed.. So this was a refreshing change to create in natural daylight ..

These photos where taken using my new light box :) I am thinking of doing a separate post on that.
So it was early evening when I had my mini photo shoot...

My initial idea with these was to add glitter around the wings, but i didn't have any glitter glue (which would work perfectly) so i used Modge Podge and Shimmer glitter.. So after my first attempt I decided to leave the other two plain.

I love the googly eyes..

I glued a mini peg on the back so they can easily hold a mini treat bag closed..

Enjoying the moment

This past week was a tough emotional one for me :(.

So a day of  fun and surprisingly warm weather yesterday, was just what i needed to remind myself to enjoy the moments.

It was also a great opportunity to take my camera and take some photos, I miss carrying  my camera round and just snapping away, I must remember to take it with me more often..

Here are some photos from yesterday ..

We took the girls on a canal boat.. So relaxing !!!! They even had a go a steering so much fun !!!

Enjoying a go a graffiti art !!

I spent some time this weekend making "Autumn" inspired embellishments... I have to say that these Yo-Yo's are rather addictive. But they are the perfect quick project to make when you haven't got a lot of time..

The rest of my day will be spent tidying and a quick trip to the shops and maybe some more Yo-Yo making.

Happy Monday...
