Blogging for Scrapbookers Prompt 3

OK here's my list of five. I've chosen five quotes from daily ones which a friend sends me and a pic showing the view from our steading which always inspires me (when I remember to look up from working to take it in and appreciate it!)

1. Silence is often misinterpreted, but never misquoted.
2. "At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person.
Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us."
~ Albert Schweitzer
3. "People become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do things.

When they believe in themselves they have the first secret of success."-Norman Vincent Peale
4. He who dies with the most toys is still dead.
5. There is no key to happiness. The door is always open. Come on in.

No time for Scrapbooking yet.

My Tidy Craft Space!

Thought I should record this somewhere just so I know what it looks like tidy. It doesn't stay like this for long!

Minibook

I have been doing some crafting as one of my groups of Scrapbookers left me some beer mats and challenged me to do something with them so I decided to make a minibook of my ponies. I'd managed to make a page for each pony but hadn't added any journalling or embellishments before it disappeared into thin air and I still can't find it. These pictures are all I have of it!

Two Gone, Eight to Go!

My two beautiful boys have been sold and I'll really miss them. I've had them both since they were six months old, straight off Dartmoor and into the Drift sales. They're both fabulous ponies - little Tinker such a sweet, gentle little character and Biscuit so eager to do anything and everything asked of him. Hopefully, I'll be able to follow their progress as they're not going too far away. Just can't afford to keep them all anymore and now they're fully grown they need to be in work instead of standing in a field getting fat. Only another eight to find homes for now!

Inspiration from Shimelle

Haven't updated the Blog for ages and have only managed a few posts in the past year but have just signed up to one of Shimelle Laine's on-line classes 'Blogging for Scrapbookers' so if I manage to follow it and keep reasonably up-to-date then perhaps I'll be more consistent. Here's hoping!

One of the things which stops me blogging is the name I chose for the Blog. I feel I have to produce pics of some wonderful piece of craftwork before I can enter anything but I've decided just to write about any kind of 'stuff', mainly farm animal life.

Tinker's New Coat

Still no pictures!

I've actually spent some time in my craft room, nearly finished two layouts and made some cards, but I still haven't taken pictures of them to post - will do this soon. We had people staying in one of the holiday cottages and they were keen to learn about scrapbooking so I helped them make a few pages in the craft room. They're now hooked and keen to carry on when they get home having left with their newly created pages and two albums to fill with more.
One of my nearly-finished pages is of our pony Lucky who is out on loan at the moment and I need to do a journaling card to put on the layout telling his story so far, but then writing things down isn't exactly my strong point. I'll make it a 'detached' card that fits into something so I can do a little now and change it when I have more time.
Did a wonderful class at Stampaholics in Perth last week and have another one to go to tomorrow, so looking forward to that. I think we're making a desk calendar using the bind-it-all. More pictures which need uploading so I'll challenge myself to do it before another week goes by.
