Scrapping really has taken a bit of a back burner - however I have managed to grab a few sessions in my scrap room as and when time (and my Mojo) has allowed.
At the beginning of October I attended The Fairytale event in Amsterdam. My decision to attend was made after lots of careful thought and consideration.....Hubs was in the hospital being cared for - my family were all visiting to help out with the guys etc - so with their blessing I took myself off for a couple of days - it was really difficult to leave the family, but I needed to have a break away from the upheaval at home.
The event took place in an old Dutch castle - which was the most amazing setting. It was fun to meet up with some of my Dutch pals and spend time with them - however my mind was elsewhere and I will confess to having to disappear a few times to go and have a little cry.
Details of next years event will be available soon - if you fancy a scrapbooking weekend away I would highly recommend checking out The FairyTale Event - the classes were all amazing with kits filled to overflowing......plus the Dutch scrappers are such a friendly and welcoming bunch of girls - you'd have a great time - guaranteed!
My Sis and her clan came to stay for a few days and then my Lil Sis and her family followed. (I'm extremely proud of my Lil Sis as she recently won The 2010 Pixel Awards for The UK's BEST Independent Photographic Mini Lab.)
Bobs has been busy surfing lots and J - well as if Hubs injuries haven't been enough to cope with - J decided to come off his bike and fall head first into a bramble bush! OUCH!We were picking thorns out of his face for days!
Normal service resumed :D

Lots of interesting snippets there.
Toni :o)
Its great to see you back and settling back into a normalish routine. Do keep us posted on how your hubs gets on. Take care, Claire x
YAY, so happy to see you creating again, missed you! Glad to hear DH is on the mend...♥
Hope to see the full pages! Glad to hear "Hubs" is doing well!
love the layout of Izzy!
glad to hear things are more settled at home, it was good to talk today xx
Wow, what a time you all have had! Somehoe your blog had disappeared from my radar (but it is on my list... confused...) and I didn't realise what has been happening to you and your family. I'm so sorry to hear of your husband's accident and very pleased for you all, that he is beginning to recover - even if it will be slow and frustrating. Having had a (much more minor!) accident myself (no operations or plaster casts involved though), I know how exhausting and frustrating it can be, to be in constant pain and to be desperate to get up and about - "back to normal". I'm pretty well okay now (it was a fall and back injury 2 years ago) - I just need to improve my general fitness and lose a couple of stone in weight that I managed to aquire...
I send my prayers and best wishes to your DH. I hope he can recover speedily and that he finds some activities to keep him occupied while he can't be up and about (has he tried papercrafting, lol? Or teach him to knit guernsey sweaters, like the fishermen?)
So pleased to see you're managing to get back to a bit of normality yourself - lovely photos and great glimpses of scrap pages! The weekend in Holland sounded lovely - if a bit emotional.
XX's and cyber-hugs to you!
Thinkin of you and glad things are SLOWLY getting back to the norm.
Take care...

Love those snippets of pages. So glad things are getting slowly back to normal and hubbie is going to be ok. Hope all the thorns are now out of J's face - looks sore! Make sure you take care of yourself :)
So sorry to read about your husband. The same thing happened to my friends husband a couple of months ago, and he's now paralysed from the neck down - however, he's alive, and everyone's coping as good as they can.
I will be thinking of you all. Take care of you too xx
