Blogging For Scrapbookers

I have returned from my mini digital hiatus which was I actually rather enjoyed because it reminded me of a simpler time and was a bit like having an accident and waking up in 1973 (but with less Gene Hunt). All good things must come to an end though and it's not like I could really live without the internet, it's just that with the hinges on the computer having gone to hinge heaven, looking at the screen requires a great deal of commitment and possibly a PhD in the art of propping.

Anyway as my sidebar has been telling people while I've been away, I've signed up for Shimelle's new class (anyone who mentions my as yet unfinished LSNED will be escorted from the premises) which is Blogging for Scrapbookers and also very exciting. I'm really hoping that taking this class will encourage me to blog more often, without necessarily having a layout or specific photograph to share in order to record memories and details of my day-to-day activities and special events which I might otherwise forget. I also want to try to be more present in my life and take the time to notice, think and hopefully blog about the little things that make me happy (while glossing over the things that make me cross because I don't think I want to remember them).

I'll be adding a picture to this post later when I have access to more than just work related photographs so watch this space (unless you like pictures of roads, junctions and traffic lights in which case email me, I can make your day).

UPDATE - OK, here's the picture now.  Sadly not of anything scrapbooking related but it is a picture of the world's largest mirrorball (allegedly) and that green blur in it is me - hello!

  1. Hi Polly! Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a lovely comment :-)
    I'm looking forward to reading some field notes on cider-related high jinx! Maybe we can swap a few stories - many of my best adventures have started at the beloved cider bus at Glasto :-) x

  3. Hi Polly,
    lovely to see you're in this class too! I won't mention LSNED if you don't (I have an unfortunate gap in my little album which I can't see ever getting filled)!

    I love your writing, looking forward to reading more!
