Anyway this will most likely be my last Desk showing for a while so here it is, not very exciting as I've been tidying after finishing my Stash buster page and a card that needed posting today, it was made but I had to check if Sandy was actually 65 before I attached the numbers, didn't want to insult her if she wasn't !!! Apart from that all my July birthday cards are already posted.
I've been collecting together all the pieces that I had out, parts of cards,cards with stamped images, all were spread over my desk so they will find themselves in the orange box behind, couldn't throw the box away! well I never do if I'm honest, this one was a gift for Mothers Day, Tangerine bath goodies from The Body Shop, they smell lovely too.
Not much here either, I was just cutting some sixes from different card, I saw a shaker card that looked like it might be an idea as GS number 2 is six in November not sure what he is currently in to at the moment as it was super heroes when we left them and Minions before that! Apparently 2 year old GS is into them now!
My first page, I've decided to start from our trip in January and try to do a page for each Month through the year of our travels seeing we seem to be doing such a lot at the moment, especially as we are mostly with family so it will hopefully be a book of memories too. This was our journey from home to Bilbao.
If any of you have traveled around Spain you may have seen the black Bulls, they are huge, they used to advertise Osbornes Brandy but then they started to disappear, seen as a distraction I think, in the 80's travelling over here on holiday we used to play spot the bull with our boys, they were very competitive trying to spot the most, funnily there's only the two of us now but we still find ourselves shouting ?Black Bull? Ha,Ha, very sad I know but guess who always wins, not me!
That's been my week, still baking hot but we are going out early every morning. Big excitement just before I started my blog, our mini air cooler arrived, we are hoping it might be enough with fans to keep the boys cool in bed, someone is playing with it downstairs, just hope it doesn't have a remote control, we have enough already!
Hope you all have a fun week, Happy WOYWW, I hope to visit as many desks as I can, in between the cleaning of course, LOL

Hi Jan, I can concur with the remote controls! It seems like everything has one these days. Hubby finally bought a fancy one that could do al the entertainment stuff from just the one. Now I have a drawer full of the redundant ones! Enjoy your family get together,Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #4 XxX
ReplyDeletewell you seem to have been incredibly busy today! hope the family arrive safely and you have a wonderful time. Love the idea of your journal to create the memories in Helen #1
ReplyDeleteI remember the big black advertising bulls in Spain, thanks for bringing it up I almost forgot - it's a fun memory (although we didn't shout 'bull') IT's freakin' hot in the Netherlands too, I got the big old fan from the storage, my hubby cleaned it all up and it's now whirling the wind in the living room.. it does help a bit but boy, is that thing noisy! I'm longing for Autumn already! Thanks for stopping by my blog today, have a wonderful week. Happy woyww and a big hug from Holland, Marit #19
ReplyDeleteI love your journal. I do something similar in my bullet journal. Thanks for sharing. Caro x (#31)
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to be spending time with the family - another page in the Memory Book. Hope you get all your jobs done before they arrive.
ReplyDeleteDo come back to us after your break.
Hugs, Neet 5 xx

Hi Jan, love the first spread in your travel journal. I'm off to Manchester soon to pick up my parents today. Safe travels and enjoy your break. Sarah #15
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm late replying - been to Winchester to clear out my son's uni flat, visiting Julia en route!
ReplyDeletePlease can I borrow your air cooler? Lol, honestly it has been baking here too - I don't do well in the heat. Love the look of your journal, it's so much better than just leaving all the memories inside the digital camera and never printing them off! Hope your family all travel well, enjoy the time with them looking for Black Bulls!
Hugs LLJ 8 xxx

ReplyDeleteHi Jan! You are going to have so much fun with the boys on your side of the world for a change! Enjoy them! Thanks for the visit prior to getting busy with grandma duties. Sorry you couldn't see the card. I'll get it up in my SCS gallery soon. Hugs! Kel #25
