I've been busy scrapping even though I've been ever so quiet!

I'm sorry I've been such a bad blogger for the past month. February was a blur of work, cooking, washing, taxi-ing, kids, work and actually quite a bit of socialising! In a nutshell, this is what happened to me in February, and not necessarily in any order:

• We had a adults-only weekend in London. Actually, that sounds a little oo-er, and in fact at one point I did wonder, when my friend referred to "the swingers". Hmmm. Actually "the swingers" are little tickets that attach to one's lapel and allows you into the members-only area of Twickenham. Phew. We went to see England v France, met some of the England team, drooled over Toby Flood, and generally had a great time!
• We had a lovely half-term, which included a trip to Sandwell Valley Farm on a beautiful sunny day.
• Cameron was evacuated and looked super-cute.
• Cam has also become a Cub Scout, we were proud.
• I had two trips to the hospital. Neither revealed anything surprising. My damaged nerves are still damaged, and my slightly odd son is still slightly odd.
• We had a lovely roast dinner with some good friends on a cold sunday afternoon. Actually, we did this twice.
• Valentine's day passed us by, or rather was low-key for Jon, whilst I received an abundance of gifts.
• I cried in front of all my friends. My friends never see me cry. I am tough. But these friends are special and just for a moment I let them in. I have been overwhelmed the past few weeks and for a second I needed to let it out.
• We had a couple of poker nights and I went from terrible to slightly better.
• I went to Parents' Evening and came out incredibly proud. My children are wonderful. Bright, pleasant, polite, hardworking, and everything I want them to be and more.
• I went out for a curry, a thai, a pizza, a roast, a pub lunch. Oh another curry. Yeah the diet's going great!
• I had a little retail therapy in the form of boots (always needed), a handbag (even more essential), clothes (nice) and stash.
• I didn't drink too much at any point.
• I scrapped quite a bit, but not as much as I'd like.
• I made cards and quite a few at that.
• I had an eye test and it turns out I don't have a brain tumour, but the iphone has not helped my eyes.
• I went to work a fair bit, enjoyed it, and hope to do some more.
• I went for dinner at some new friends and drove home. Wow, I never drive home!
• We had the Cropaganza which was fun but damn near killed me!
• I hurt my family but I have tried to make amends.
• We went to Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery and decided it isn't as good as it used to be.
• Oh god I just remembered another curry. Actually, this was a special one, with friends over in Leicestershire, who have just got engaged and have asked Jon to be best man (silly, silly people). Plus a special question will be on its way for Maddie! This was yet another child-free night away (we haven't done badly this month!)

I think that covers it. You can see I've been busy. Now let me share with you my latest layouts and cards. Hopefully by the next time I post, I will have bought my new camera lens, as this one is just pants!!! All layouts (I think) have used sketches, so credit to Pagemaps, Pencil Lines and Sketchy Thursday - thanks :) Woops I just noticed I've used the same photo twice below! Oh well, it's a good one, as at this point in time, it was a rare thing to see Cam so happy and carefree.
