Easily distracted

On waking this morning the plan was:

1. Go into town to do big weekly shop
2. Come home, have coffee and watch Saturday Kitchen
3. Make homemade soup for lunch
4. Blitz daughter's bedroom (even though she moved out months ago, she left enough 'stuff' behind to make it look as if she's still here)
5. Help clear out one half of the garage so we can park two cars in there again
6. Upload latest 4x6 photo love on Shimelle

So I started with 1 and also went to the post office to collect this:

I was the lucky winner of Pass the Book (a fantastically good idea organised by Sian)  and this beautifully wrapped package came from Spain with Good Mail Day inside (plus the oh so pretty card I've shown on top of the packing) - thank you Alison!
Onto 2.  Whilst watching Saturday Kitchen the postman came and delivered this month's kit from Sarah' Cards

Oh how pretty, there was much oohing and ahhing and planning going on.  Whilst busy doing 3 I was trying to visualise what beautiful things I could make with it.

From here on in, things have not gone to plan.  After lunch I sat in the sunshine in the conservatory reading the book, had a little doze, woke up to find husband singlehandedly sorting out garage.  Quickly busied myself in the kitchen and made a batch of chocolate chip muffins whilst shouting out 'fancy a cup of tea before we get started out there?' in order to make it seem that I had been busy and not asleep, dreaming of fantastically wrapped and decorated letters and parcels.

So before things go further to pot, I've come upstairs on the pretext of starting 4 and avoiding 5 at all costs and finally getting round to doing 6.  I loved this way of displaying 8 photos in one and a half layouts and although R's graduation was some years ago, as I'd used J's graduation last month I thought it would be nice to include hers in this project.  My only problem as this Photo Love project is progressing is finding enough photos of the same subject to use each month!  Next month it's NINE so I had better get snapping ... I kind of think it could be puppy related next time!
