30 Days of Lists - Day 31

You thought I'd finished with this didn't you. Well although there are no official lists left in the 30 Days of Lists challenge I thought I'd take the opportunity on the last day of March to go back over all my previous lists and make a list of all the things I actually completed.

Day Nine

My oughta do list...

• Wash the evening pots
• Put the 2 piles of clothes away that are sitting in the bedroom
• Look at the CD of old holiday photos my mum gave me and sort out which ones I want to scrap
• Send my proof of no claims to the insurance company

Day Five

Things I would like to do/accomplish by the end of the month:

• create 4 scrapbook pages
• renew house insurance
• finish reading "Married to the Mouse"
• spring clean the whole house
• sort the kitchen drawers
• start my crm blog
• sort through blog photos

Day Three

This.... I am going to....

• This week I am going to make a start on the tea shop page I've been trying to start for over a week
• This week I am going to finish the book I'm reading - The Girl who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson
• This week I am going to finish writing up last year's diary for my project 52
• This month I am going to the Birmingham NEC scrapbook fair and buy some more washi tape - if any stands have some
• This month I am going to get up to date with all the programmes I've recorded on the Sky Planner
• This year I will finish reading all my outstanding books and I will reward myself by having a Kindle for Christmas

So there we go. I don't think I did too badly after all. 

My next challenge will be to scrap some of the lists and write them up in my lovely travel-themed notebook.

I've really enjoyed taking part in the 30 Days of Lists challenge and can't wait until September when I can do it again.

Finally getting around to using the tool - Sew Easy

This year I'm determined to use some of the tools I've got that I've haven't got around to using yet. Last Christmas my sister-in-law bought me a We R Memory Keepers Sew Easy tool and I'm ashamed to say I haven't used it yet. So I created the following page using the cross attachment.

Whilst at the NEC Hobbycraft show last month I bought some travel-themed papers and embellishments from Do Crafts. I just love travel scrapbooking supplies so when I spotted these I couldn't resist. I made a page about our day out in London last October.

I used paper from the Papermania All aboard collection along with the embellishment in the top left hand corner.

The envelope on the left hand side is just a regular airmail envelope that I've had in my stash for ages. Inside are our tickets and receipts from the day.

The bunting down the right hand side and along the bottom is from The London Line and the embroidered London title is from a stall at the fair but I can't remember what it's called.

I'm so glad I finally got around to using this tool. I'll definitely be using it again on another layout soon.

30 Days of Lists - Day 30

Well I finally got there and finally got around to posting this last list. This was another difficult list to compile. It challenged me to really think about what I believe in.

My Manifesto...

I believe you shouldn't wish your life away
I believe I am as good a mum as I can be
I believe in writing lists
I believe you can't hate someone unless you've loved them
I believe in karma
I believe having children changes your outlook on life
I believe I'd be truly lost if I ever couldn't sit down and read a book
I believe you should never leave the house on an argument
I believe the elderly should be treated better in this country
I believe in feeding the birds
I believe cancer will be cured in my lifetime 

I'm sure, as with al my other lists, that if I sat down to write these lists in a year/five years/ten years time they would be completely different. We'll have to wait and see.
