what ive been up to

have been busy scrapbooking completed 2 one of my daughters through the years and one of my oldest daughters wedding which was in 2000 i have so many photos laying about so i thought id better do something with them ive so far made 9 scrapbooks and have millions of photos still to use.need to start another bag for my other granchildren but handstitching kills my hands so ive been putting it of .got a new rubber stamp from paper nation called the fisherman i want to play with that but as my craftroom doubles as a guest room and my daughter stayed tuesday and is staying on sunday i have had to clear my stuff away shes gone to brighton to a music festival and is using me as a stop over shame the weather has changed i was enjoying the sun now its miserable again .i might take a couple of photos of a couple of pages of my scrapbook and post them later
