or should this post be called “when good things go bad”?
or should this post be called “the one with lots and lots of photos”?
or should this post be called “there is some scrapbooking at the end of this post”???
We are just back from a road trip
was just overnight but it was a nice time away
When I say nice I mean ummm it was mostly nice
And by mostly nice I mean everything started out nice
Like a picnic lunch at a playground
it was nice
till someone decided to run through a maze, fall over on the gravel and grazed both knees, an elbow and her lips…
Going to an indoor playcentre that has rooms for dressing up and imaginative play is all fun
till 2 people decide to play chasings and one runs into the play equipment and gets a bleeding nose…
Going for a walk across a suspension bridge is fantastic
till someone realises that she doesn’t like being high up on things that move
walking around the Launceston Gorge is beautiful
until someone realises that the sunshine is too warm for the thick jumper that they chose to wear,
rather than leave in the car,
and then gets grumpy because they have to carry it
and finally seeing gorgeous wildlife is all great
until you see a dinosaur
and have to run real fast so you don’t get eaten!!!
Ha!!
So there you are
The joy we had while on our little roadtrip 
I wanted to start sharing, with you, what I made with my January Polka Dot Whimsy kit
The kit is called City Life and it is full of the usual Polka Dot Whimsy goodness
Straight away I made 4 pages and in this post I will share with you 2 (the other 2 will be in my next post)
in the kit there were various sequins, which were ideal Christmas decorations on the page
and this fabric and it’s the cool little bits that sets PDW apart
perfect on this fabric, agreed??
and the journaling
my second page
and some details
gorgeous trim
lots for me to cut up and layer
and the journaling
and in the kit is a gorgeous ruffle flower that Michelle made, especially for this kit
I simply added a hair slide to the back and now someone loves wearing it
phew, long post!
