Week 36: Boxing clever?

Well I imagine that I may have been more noticeable by my absence than by my scintillating blog posts I am afraid! It's been a crazy few weeks here with lots of catering and family time over the Bank Holiday and the last weekend in August we are at the MotoGP at Silverstone with a bunch of the people we work with, so I am scheduling this before we leave.
Lilly's Loom Box!

Thanks to all of you who are dipping in and out on the challenges.. I am sure we will regroup a bit as the evenings close in.

I am scheduling this ahead of time, otherwise I am sure it would be later than ever.

This week let's share some Boxes!

Ideas for your week:
  • Monday... Storage boxes
  • Tuesday ... Decorative or Ugly boxes
  • Wednesday ... Boxes of Junk
  • Thursday ... Boxes I cannot throw away
  • Friday .... Boxes I have seen today
  • Saturday ... Unusual boxes
  • Sunday ... Random choice .. but still boxes!

Week 35: Travel Tales

Hi again everyone!
Hope the Bank Holiday weekend (here in the UK anyways) has been kind to you.

My Favourite Holiday Activity
We have had a very busy birthday weekend with my Father-in-Law and I am almost a day late posting this. Apologies for the lateness but I have excuses a-plenty.

I am a little slow on a prompt for this week so I will use the Fancy Dress theme we had for the party.. Travel

Can you share with us some of your best travel stories or images..


  • Monday .... dream destination
  • Tuesday  ... worst trip ever!
  • Wednesday  ... close to home
  • Thursday ... far away
  • Friday  ... activity or relaxing?
  • Saturday  ... childhood trips
  • Sunday  ... fantasy holiday guest!

Hope this prompts some fun thoughts.. especially that fantasy guest!

Week 34: Paper Mates (try again!)

(Having to repost this as I noticed it disappears when you click on it!)


Well I was just trying to think of something a little different for this week!  Something we all have to share and something we might all come across in our week, whatever we are doing.

And then I thought of boxes.. cards .. all made of 'Paper'

so.. share with us the things you see and do made or paper.. so many possibilities..

here's a few ideas, but feel free to add your own..


  • Monday ... Newspapers
  • Tuesday ... Cards
  • Wednesday ... Bags or Boxes
  • Thursday ... Posters
  • Friday ... Tissue or crepe
  • Saturday  ... Hobby papers
  • Sunday ... Your choice

Week 33: Sky pictures

Hi everyone!

Sorry for the lateness, the weekend ran away from me!

thanks for your offerings on the Centenary of WW1. I still have to read them..

Easy prompt this week.. with the weather being quite brusque this week and winds passing quickly over the country, passing us first in the South West, the Uk will probably have it's fair shame of what the weathermen call 'mixed weather'
Cute Clouds at the Mount

(Sorry Joy.. I am enviously imagining all your skies will be blue in Belize, but maybe you can find us some glorious sunsets or sunrises..)

Show me some Skies !!

Here's a few ideas, no days specified as who knows if and when!

    • Blue sky
    • Cute clouds
    • Grey clouds threatening
    • Sunrise
    • Sunset
    • Through the trees
    • Over the horizon
    • Sea and sky

Week 32 : Centenary

Hi everyone.. I am running late and writing this in real time.. 9.25am Monday!  I had a busy weekend with helping at Jordan's food fair stall and then out in the boat a little yesterday.. came home and had my lie-in in the afternoon instead.. so I got up twice yesterday!

All the news here in the UK is about the Centenary, 100 year anniversary of the outbreak of the First World war and although some of us are not in the UK I hope you don't mind if I use this as this week's theme.  

I am sure that even if you are not here you can find some pictures or stories of the past to share...(you know how I love nostalgia!)


I will try and make the theme loose so we can all have something to share:

100 (years anniversary..)

Here's a few ideas, hard ones to choose specific things to photograph, so maybe just aim to get one good post this week if it is difficult.:
  • Monday.... Candles / Lights Out
  • Tuesday....  A Memorial Stone or Place
  • Wednesday...Soldier's Story
  • Thursday ... 100 years ago
  • Friday .... Family story
  • Saturday ... Now and then
  • Sunday ... Living Long Ago
I think we may be surprised at each other's stories..

Week 30 : Summer Season's Views

Scrapbooked Summer
Can you believe we are on our third season.. January was Winter, April was Spring and here we are in Summer!  I hope you are enjoying this gorgeous spell of proper English Summer (or summer wherever else you are!)

This Season's Views : Summer

You can have a lazy week and just post one view for the whole week if you wish, but try and take a view you used back in Week 5, Winter.. or Week 17 Spring.

... but if you want to join in every day, or some days then here's a few ideas..(you can mix these up if you like as maybe you need to think about some of them over a couple of days)
  • Monday  ... Garden View or Through the Window
  • Tuesday  ... This season's favourite meal 
  • Wednesday ...  Sky View
  • Thursday   ... Family or friends
  • Friday  ...  This season's favourite outfit
  • Saturday ...  View of a frequently visited place
  • Sunday  (...bear with me on this one..)   Feet first.. show us your feet / shoes in this season's setting! (apologies for that one, it came from one of my creative thinking design colleagues!) Hopefully we may get snow / sand and autumn leaves but who knows!
Looking forward to these!
