Summer Photo Scavenger Hunt 2016 - Start?

-
Ok... this year things went quite higgledi - piggledi when it comes to "regular" things ... I've not done any "conscious"hunting for Rinda's Photo Scavenger Hunt (usually keep the list with me somewhere, on the phone etc), other posts went a bit off as well...

 Holiday in Florida with the girls, the big P1 start, family over etc ... suppose that does that for you.

 Anyway... let's see what we can do. The Scavenger Hunt is still on until 22nd September, so I might actually get something done. :)

  1. A "wild heart" - a naturally occurring heart (like the rock above, but it doesn't have to be a rock)
  2. A footprint or pawprint
  3. A skeleton, bone or x-ray
    Skeleton Pens (The Works)
    Shop Front Kiehl's

  4. A book or magazine read during 2016
    The Illustrated Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone - Introducing the girls to the joys of HP World! 
  5. A porch or deck
  6. A camper (caravan)
  7. A family gathering
    Ice cream with my mum & sis who came for a visit
      Family trip to the Kelpies
  8. A drawing, art project, artistic photograph, scrapbook page, greeting card, or art journal page created by you.
    Still needs the title... and date.. but else... it's done. ;) 

  9. Someone playing with, in, or around water.
    The one day of Scottish Summer we had the paddling pool out in use... 

  10. A bicycle
  11. Fresh produce
  12. A window
  13. The moon
    Strawberry Moon June 2016

  14. A buffet of food
    Yummy "buffet" "High Tea" at Susan's Baby Shower
    Look at those cute chocolate tea pots & tea cups!! 

  15. A team logo
    (might go for another photo if time allows)
    During the Scottish Claymores Anniversary

  16. A map showing a trip taken during the time period
  17. Twins
    Easy one for me - they're with me 24/7 ish... ;) 
    Two set of twins ... am I getting bonus points for that, Rinda? ;) 
    Another one ... on a sculpture ... a hand... :o 

  18. A supermarket cart, basket or trolley full of groceries 
  19. A seasonal cocktail or beverage
    Not really seasonal, but more likely to drink in summer - Fruit Cider
      More of a seasonal beverage - Costa's Fruit Coolers!

  20. Someone laughing
    The girls... always giggling/laughing

  21.  A photograph of you with a newspaper or calendar page from the time period covered in the Hunt. Note: you may not use a substitute for this item.
    Alternatives - if you're having trouble finding any of the above, you may substitute from this list (but you may not substitute for item #21)
    alternative 1: a lighthouse
    Newhaven Lighthouse
    Abandoned Lighthouse Western Harbour

    We had to take photos of the girls with a lighthouse for their first day at P1 (a challenge, they have been reading "The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch" for nursery to P1 transition). So that was fairly easy.

    alternative 2: a baby (human or animal)
Huh... haven't done that bad I think! Let's see if I can manage to get all the other photos by the 22nd!! ;)

Christmas Journal Entry #2

Phew!!! Took me longer than I thought!!! :) Maybe I should leave the crafty bits out ... I am a slow scrapper after all (found that out at the Cyber Crop!!). But have to say I LOVE that LO. Used acetate with stazon white opaque (over photo), snowflake eyelets, snowflake button and snowflake vellum sticker. The prompt today suggested we cut a paper snowflake ... well, I had three attempts and am absolutely rubbish at it!! So I decided I try my luck with a quilled snowflake ... first time ever for me to do a snowflake and you can see the wonky result! LOL.

 Here is my Final Round up for the Photo Scavenger Hunt 2013: 1. Open air market (Market Stall outside Kew Station, London) 2. Theater for performing arts (not a movie theater) ( Edinburgh Festival Theatre ) 3. City Hall, Capitol or other similar civic building (Dumfries Council Buildings) 4. Airplane (Our Virgin Flight plane to London) 5. A sunset (opted for another picture than posted before, as this sunset is more stunning! It’s taken at Knockbrex House, Dumfries & Galloway, with view of the Bay) 6. Someone or something taking a nap (there’s too much cuteness about, and still so many photos of the Hobbits falling asleep ) 7. A sign that is intentionally or unintentionally funny (Seeing it was Maple Pecan Ice cream, the note  “May contain other nuts” makes you really wonder…) 8. A tower (Watch tower at St. Cuthbert’s graveyard, Edinburgh, defending against grave robbery) 9. A photo with someone or something that is clearly out of place or doesn't bel

Still struggling with sleep deprivation from Superbowl on Sunday, but hey … maybe I’ll get finally to sleep BEFORE midnight. And since 11am this morning the “little secret” from the Adamsons is now not a secret anymore. WE ARE PREGNANT WITH TWINS!!!!  The IVF run in December was positive (typical, the one we thought won’t do anything and we’ll have to go down to London to get immune issues checked out), and we had our official 12 week scan today. Both Chip and Chap are doing fine, are moving about, have all limbs and noses and chins and heartbeats. And I’m feeling as if a big rock’s been removed from my shoulders … have been reading too many horror stories about twin pregnancies resulting in just one baby born or even losing both. Think with 5 years IVF in the bag we know far too much about the medical background and are more likely to worry about what COULD go wrong instead of “enjoying the pregnancy”. But there you go – all going ok, tests were normal as well (don’t have t
