About me.. more.

And more pages for my "Being Charlotte Kingman" book about me. It's really coming together now and I have some more pics waiting to be scrapped! Only 2 weeks to go til I'm not 26 anymore, so I have to make sure I finish it by then!
Here's my wonderful family! I love these guys, and we have managed to get all together a couple of times this year which has been fantastic! We love getting to hang out together. This page has some of my all time favourite products- the MM artisan journalling piece, Maya Road Owl rub on, Colorbok sticker that says "Pieces of the same cake" {Lol! Heart glowing with pride}, Doodlebug paper frills and the Creative Imaginations lettering stickers that I've had for positively EONS!! I had to construct a 'Y' out of a curly letter 'Z' cos I had run out of Y's- Yvette taught me how to think creatively to make other letters out of Z's and all the unused letters. Thanks Yvette! That is a useful piece of creative info :)
And then here are my friends:
A funny bunch of different nationailites and personalities but a close bunch once we get together. Who would have thought all these different people could be friends! We all became friends at work and the best thing is there are a few couples within the group so we don't have to worry about partners who are "outsiders" and don't fit in. Get what I mean?
I found this really cool black embossed paper in my stash and I know I've had it for at least 4 years! I'm pretty sure I bought it when I worked at the Scrapbook shop (now you know why I have so much stuff from so long ago) and I finally thought- "Stuff it, I'm cutting into it and it's going into the book about me!" I lightly inked up the edges in silver ink so it would highlight the embossed pattern and it shows up pretty well here. I'm glad to have this out from being buried in my stash and actaully used! It's so pretty.
Will and I are off to Newtown for a look around today. Yay! Something interesting for my Project 365! Lol

Great photos and wonderful pages! Congrats on doing a "me" album! I have never ventured there; not ready for it!

Hey I used to have that black embossed paper. :)

Guess what, I still have it! Does that make you feel better? You've used it before me!

Love your layout about us! Beautiful. And beautiful journalling.

That's what they call it when they're recyling paper... and cleaning it... (preening)
I know - it was a hardie!
