For me Sunday was bittersweet as our local branch of Starbucks closed. Why?............... Starbucks have not deigned to answer my email as yet. So we the customers/friends staged a sit-in and enjoyed our last coffees and cakes together. Now they are emptying out the shop in readiness for it's new owners.................. Cafe Nero!!!!!!!
Tracey, Rosie, Phoebe, Evalina, Karl and their district manager.
Anyway on a slightly less depressing not, I have completed my minibook for LSNED 2012. I know I actually finished it. So here are lots of photos to prove it.
So this is the final album, all tied up............
despite my best efforts, I think I will again fail to read 100 books this year,
The page above is all about the fact my bipolar played up and I hadn't got a Community Psychiatric nurse but then got a new one with lots of helpful ideas.
I want to learn how to make a quilt............
This was a daft one about life giving u lemons,
Self explanatory I think.........................
This was a spare page I just decorated so as not to waste the card stock................
This page is about how I have conflicts about myself and sometimes I really don't like me.............
but on occasion I am happy to be me...............
The button heart again was a spare page filler......................
I like this page. I had had the typewriter for ages and new it would come out at the right time............
These are three pictures from Rinda's scavenger hunt.....................
This page is a brief one about the 60 Swans coming together at The Bishop's Palace prior to being auctioned off for charity. They actually raise £111,000 for Wells people and some are going to stay here...........
Self explanatory really, she is rather pretty although today she's wet from the rain xxxx
Not a clear picture but this page is all about waiting 8 months for my car to be paid...................
No writing here by me, my friend Steve's letter to the local paper...............
This is my account being credited with the money for my tax rebate................
The last day's page was about our family service in church. The morning was given over to Jesus being our Shepherd and random facts about sheep. Did u know that sheep have 4 stomachs? Did you know there are over 2,000 breeds of sheep in the world or that Australia does not hold the record for the largest number of sheep it's china or Russia?
The final page is a summary of my learning. Nothing too heavy I might add but different feelings of fun, randomness, illness and challenge. I feel I am proud of my journey this September. How was your?
Sorry to hear about your Starbucks, what a shame :(
