14/31 Why do I blog?

After my life changed recently I decided not to blog anymore and deleted my blog, after many years. I missed it so much and returned pretty quick! So why did I start? To share my scrapbooking layouts, it was good to look back and see how it all began .... I discovered scrapbooking after my first trip to Disney World in 2008, my first album is a Disney album.

Over the years I discovered new blogs and made new friends! I love it! A whole new world of making photographs look pretty with patterned paper took over my life, I began photographing EVERYTHING! I then scrapped all aspects of my life.

When I first began blogging I didn't really talk about myself or family I just uploaded photographs of my layouts but I found that people were interested in all aspects of my life and at the minute, I seem to be posting alot more 'life stuff' than scrapbook layouts!

Thanks to everyone who visits my blog, I love all the comments I get and try to visit as many blogs as possible. My blogger friends have become friends in real life and I think that's amazing!

Linking in with Emma at outmumbered, I discovered Emma's blog through my blog friend Nina! Thanks Nina! I've met some awesome people through friends of friends!

13/31 Where I live

I live in Swindon! It's a lovely town in the heart of Wiltshire, I really love Wiltshire.

 But what is my town well known for?!?!? Hmmm! A Roundabout!

 This is the famous Magic Roundabout

 One of the other things I love about my town is shopping in The Designer Outlet, I've had some real bargains over the years I've lived here! I also like the fact it encompasses trains as Swindon is famous for it's Rail too! The Steam Museum is next door and tells us all about the Foundation of GWR in 1835, it had a massive impact on the History of the Railways.

 I live a few minutes away from Lydiard Park with is great place to go and feed the ducks, have a BBQ or picnic, it has a pretty house {where we took our class on a School Trip, they loved it}, you can walk around the walled gardens or the little ones can play in the park. I came here to take photos of the girls in their Prom dresses.

By the lake

It has great scenery

The Gorgeous House

 Wiltshire is a lovely places to live I'm just over an hour away from London or Bournemouth but close by I have awesome places such as The Cotswolds, Stonehenge, Avebury, Lacock Abbey, Highclere Castle aka Downton Abbey, many Canals & locks, Bath is very close too!

A big thanks to outmumbered for hosting these prompts, I just wish I could of kept up! Eeeek!!

12/31 A Guilty Pleasure

Today's prompt is a guilty pleasure, this again is hard work only choosing one! So here's my guilty pleasure list ...ooooops!
First and foremost is a cheeky cupcake, I can't resist a cheeky cupcake, nomnomnom! That's the reason I had this tattoo, it symbolises my love for sweet things but also my weight loss, I started the journey about the same time as having this done...

I love chinese take away. Mmmm! I love Costa Black Forest Hot Chocolate. I love lil naps on the sofa, sometimes they turn from minutes into hours! Ooooops! I read loads of blogs in my spare time. I love American sweets & breakfast cereal too! I'd much rather have sweets/candies than chocolate. I often wear pj's straight after work.
As you can see I'm very naughty! haha!

11/31 5 Favourite Films

Finding only five films I love is very tricky, my movie taste is as varied as my music taste! I love allsorts... however, I'm not a fan of sci-fi or horror!

Top Five {in no particular order}

One // Mary Poppins

 Two // The Fast & the Furious films  {I love a bit of Vin Diesel}

 Three // The Lion King 

Four // The Transporter

Five // The Heat 

This is without the classics such as Dirty Dancing, Pretty Woman, Mamma Mia, Grease, my movie list is endless. Nothing beats a movie/duvet day! I love a thriller or a singalong.
