Talent in the Family

Richard Hammond!!


Today Milne's primary had a "Come as your Favourite Celebrity" day. Trouble was they only gave us 2 days notice!! Up until last night we had no idea who he was going to go as or where we would get any necessary items for that person.
One brain storm later, after watching one of his favourite programmes, Brainiac, Samuel decided he could go as Richard Hammond as all he would need was his jeans, a t-shirt and a shirt. (That was all he wears when he's on Top Gear too Samuel tells me). So after hunting through his wardrobe we had our outfit. As for the hair....well that had to be from an earlier programme as we didn't have time to grow it overnight!!!
Nikon D60

Enter the D60 for Dummies book (with love from John). Having had a quick look through it tonight I managed to put a bit of bling on Samuel's tooth that fell out earlier. I'm well chuffed I even managed to find the menu.
P.S. Plot spoiler...........There is no tooth fairy so I can just give him the money!!!! Oh to be 12.

SLYMI wk 8

Well I'm wasn't too sure about this weeks challenge as cutting photos isn't really my thing. This photo, however, looks better for being cut out as it had a dark background with the TV and the window in view
Not sure I'l be cutting more pictures any time soon though but it's good to learn new ways of scrapping.

Daft Dog
On My Windowsill
While doing the shopping in Tesco on Monday I picked up these daffs half price. Two bunches for £1.00. They had opened today when I got home from work and look lovely on my kitchen windowsill. Also on there are the sheep that Ruth bought me last year for my Birthday and which I meant to blog last September and never got around to it!! Although I'm not doing the 365 photo challenge I am trying to take more pictures this year. I'm not doing too badly so far :)

Birthday mini book
One of our Chelsea Pensioner friends, Jim, is 94 on the 21st so I thought I'd make him a little book.
He painted a beautiful picture of Elgin Catherdral, for Samuel, a few years ago and I wanted to send him the photos so added them to the book along with a few pictures Samuel had drawn for him. I copied the Happy Birthday on the front from SI magazine this month.

A Nice Surprise

When I got to work this morning I found this chocolate heart lolly on my desk. All four of us in the office got one. It's from one of the ladies in the Modern Languages department who thought it would cheer us up if we'd had a busy week. She was right. After being really busy for the last 2 days it was nice to feel appreciated. It's the little things that matter :)

Cyber Crop



As I haven't been to a crop since the beginning of December I thought I need a day of scrapping. What better than some fab classes from UKS. I've managed 3 LO, a mini book and and accordian book. Not bad for day one. A huge thank you to Ruth for the JBP of the kit for the Sherlock Holmes class. I still need to photo some LOs but that will need to wait till tomorrow when the light is better.

The Bypass
The Fochabers bypass is underway. Well it is as far
as cutting down trees is concerned. They haven't got the contractors sorted yet but are at least making a start. Work is due to start in summer 2009 and should be completed by summer 2011 (but we shall see!!!!!!!!)
The trees around the pond have all been cut down and our cherry tree is no more :( they have also cut a path through the Gordon Lennox estate as far as the A96. Progress indeed. At least the snowdrops are still blooming and the swans are happy :)

Poor old cherry tree!!
