Day 2

So what do you do when you have to stay in bed for a week and your friend calls because she wants to meka a photobook fro her son's 18th birthday very quick and without planning? You just tell her to bake one of your favourite cakes and just invite her over for a scrapbooking feast - even if it is taking place o your bedside. We had so much fun doing this. Looking at the old pictures, planning layouts, chosing paper. We had the whole afternoon and really finished 28 pages. There is some finetuning needed and some texting but the basis is done. That was so much fun and we both could hardly believe what we did accomplish in that time given we both are not born scrapbookers. But as always, Ali Edwards was a great help with all her easygoing layouts and her great approach to these things. What also helped was the arrival of the new monthly kit from Studio Callico. I have been wanting to buy them for a long time but they were sold out quickly so I decided to go for the monthly subscription. I'll show you tomorrow what arrived. It was such a bliss to get this today!
And then suddenly whe recognized how late ist was and that a husband would turn up in a couple of minutes. That was the time when we truly learned that the Fly lady was so right telling us that you can move mountains in 15 minutes. We speed-cleaned the whole place in a whizz and did not even need the alarm clock.
So we think we will repeat this next Monday...
