Say it with signs.

Just for the crack, Ive used a few of the signs that took my fancy to record my state of mind!!!!
What would yours be? Have fun...

On your bike mate!!

Just chill, will ya...

HELP!! Call me...I NEED CHOCOLATE!!
Oh Bollocks, whatever!!

Keep walking, nothing occurring here!!

Im sure there are so many more but I want to save some for a rainy day. x

Life worth documenting.

These four words sum it up for me!
When I'm at screaming point stressed, just plain cross, upset or just fed up with life itself I Scrapbook.

Take a deep breath, choose a photo and loose yourself in the patchwork of pulling together the memories of a 'Life worth documenting'.
Many a day Iv'e come back from the brink of having a breakdown just by shuffling papers and sorting brads! Slaming cardstock between the plates of a Big Shot and cutting out flowers by the dozen gives my mind time to think, helps me to take deep breaths and lower my pulse rate...I think it should be available on Prescription!

So, as you take in the time and detail of the layouts below just wonder to yourself,

What sort of mood was she in when she did this one?
Five lives worth documenting.x

Daisy,


I saw these Bronze Sculptures at Chelsea Flower Show last year and I often just sit and gaze at these three photo's.
I love the unusual and understated, these are both of these things to me, they both captivated me and made me want to sit down alongside them. The statue I named Daisy is cupping her hands to let the water drizzle through them, that in itself is calming and soothing. Yet when you look at her from an angle where you cannot see the water flowing through her fingers it appears as if she is coverting either a delicate butterfly or ladybird.
I love that we all see different things in the same image, as well as the same image seeming different in some way depending on our mood or frame of mind.
I just loved them and although it may seem a strange thing to photograph, its not to me, as I am constantly surrounded by children be them my own or someone elses. I would willingly share my garden bench or patch of grass with any of these, we might even have a little one sided chat!
