And she was stuck...

Hi All.

Sorry, just a flying visit, but da tah da dah! I have won a prize! For work and progress in year 12 which makes me very very happy! But.. that was not what I am here to talk about. Basically, as a prize winner you get £12 to spend on any book you want off amazon, well...I want some kind of craft book as I figure I will get the most use out of it. I found this one which looks fab...And, bonus, it has been reduced to £5! So, I need to find another book as well. I need your help! Can anyone suggest a good cheap ish craft book, either on scrapbooking, knitting or creative photography? Also any christians out there, who know of a really good daily bible, with a verse or chapter dedicated to each day! Thanks! any comments would be greatly appreciated!

Hope you've all had a great weekend! xxxxxxx

Him and Her

She was round his house for the weekend and he took her on a walk with the dog.

The sky was heavy with rain clouds but the sun was shining bright.

He was smiling and she looked at him and loved him.

She got out her phone to take a picture and he muttered something like "not again!"

But because he knew what it meant to her, he let her take all the pictures she wanted.

For he knew that she wanted to capture a small part of that lovely weekend.

and she knew that she needed some new pictures to scrap with....

(she also didn't realise that he was kissing her head as she took the picture and has now fallen in love with an unexpected, unplanned shot...!) ....

A day in the life...

A little day in the life of Abi... (illustrated with phone pictures, so the quality isn't great but hey!)

This morning I woke up at 6.30 because I had a rowing regatta to get too! Not such a good start to a saturday!LOL!

Plus side was that I thought it would rain today, prayed hard that it wouldn't and we have had sun for basically all the day. God truly works miracles!!!

So... we arrived at a very british regatta with plenty of tents, chairs, bbq and generally a good atmosphere..We then rigged up the boats (rowing lingo for putting the boats together after being on the trailer, in case u were wondering!) and put our blades (oars) down by the bank. Along with hundreds of others...We waited for our race for what felt like hours! A nice chance to watch the beautiful river and get out those milky white feet! he he! Sadly we didn't win the race but it was great experience. We spent the next few hours watching the boats go by and cheering on our other crews. ( don't you love those socks?!)

Some of the girls did win...And finally got their burgers which they had been waiting for all day! We stayed late, enjoying the atmosphere of a proper british day in the country..

And headed home for fish and chips as the rain started to set in. What was your day like? Hope everyone has a brilliant bank holiday!

A busy first week back!

Happy Sunday.

This week has been so busy it's insane. Honestly, it feels like I have been back at school for a month not just a week! Exams are just around the corner and boy do we know it! The work has seriously taken a sharp turn upwards and after waking up at 8.30 this morning just to finish an essay for the next day I am starting to feel worried. We had an RS mock exam on thursday which went pretty well, i just feel i need to get a better essay structure so that means practice, practice, practice! ahhhhh! Also to pile it all on, prefect interviews start soon eeeeeeek!

Anyway enough of my rambling, a few pics to share. I am making a film in photography for my final piece, it is based on water but has lots of text etc and several stills so here are a few I am going to use...All of these were taken in France on rowing camp! Kinda useful, a lot of water about Lol! Anyway, have to go and do some flute practice! ahhh I am faaarrr to busy! Thanks for stopping by!

phewww, been a long time!

Hi All.

Firstly, I am not dead, neither am i stranded in some foreign country. I have just got back from rowing camp! Woooh. It was so amazing. We rowed on the Loir in France. No Computer, no phones, no paper! As a result I didn't find out about this weird ash cloud thing until yesterday when I promptly thanked God that I was travelling by ferry n not plane. If any of u blogging friends are stranded, I am so so sorry, sounds horrible. Lots of prayer needed for that to clear!

Anyway...This i'm afraid has to be a fairly quick post as I am shattered after a nine hour ferry journey and a three hour train journey! N I'm back to skl tomorrow! eeeek!

Flip, I had no idea that the blogging world moves so fast. Away for ten days n came back to find so many blog updates n exciting things like Shimelle's crop party that I had missed! sob sob! Anyway will share a few pics from my trip.

The weather was amazing, lovely n hot, a little bit windy but apart from that fab!

The pontoon...

The beautiful river. It is huge!!!! No chance of crashing! Thank goodness as I steer the boat!

Camp fun!... Me reflected in my friends glasses! love this pic!

Me n my friends in town! (yeah I'm the little one on the end!)interesting depth of field with the boats!

will share more tomorrow! Thanks for stopping by n visiting the bag blogger that I am eeek!

Let me indulge!

Hi

Sorry, I haven't stopped by in a few days! eeeeekk. Revision.... need I say more! Quite happy to say I have achieved quite a lot and in most subjects have got over half way in note taking etc! Day off tomorrow! he he! Easter sunday! Looking forward to it! So..thought i would share an insanely cute video I found the other day. I just love it! It made me happy for quite a long time but took a great deal of finding cos I had watched the video at school and then forgot the name! ahh anyone ever done that? The most frustrating thing!

Reminds me of the boy though..

10. reasons why I love him:

1. He puts up with my strops (which I have to confess are numerous!)

2. Let me into his family.

3. Let's me pretend that one day I will be King (yeah i know the gender thing....!)

4. lets me ring him at crazy hours just so I can say goodnight.

5. sends the most lovely texts.

6. tries to play mario kart Wii with his arms around me.

7. Watched mamma mia with me three times despite the fact that he hates it.

8. doesn't mind laughing at me when I am just plain moody. Normally sorts things out!

9. Got MSN so he could talk to me.

10. Let me kiss in the rain. T, I love you. Thank you xxxx

Soon, another list! wooooh! easter sunday tomorrow! Hope everyone has an awesome day to celebrate that our beautiful saviour has risen! So excited!

Thanks for stopping by!
