The ABC: L is for Light

 So its official Blogger really isn't a good friend of mine..... last weeks post we scheduled to publish .... but it didn't .... and because I wasn't feeling so well...I never did check ...so we are now a week behind..or should I say I'm a week behind....

So L is for Light

And hopefully I will post M sometime this week

The ABC :K is for Kayla

 This was an easy one......
It seemed only right after last week that I featured my daughter.....

Her name is Kayla (fitting) and she is 7 going on 17 .......

She tells me she is going to be a singer when she grows up ........ and to be honest she can belt out a tune.

So here is K

So like we always say ...Remember anyone can join in with ABC Monday .... just show a craft or a color or a photo that is the letter we are on for the week.


Also let me apologize.... we are a day late in putting ABC Monday up as blogger for some reason did not want me to publish yesterday .

The ABC : J is for Jayden

 Its ABC Monday ...... and this weeks I did play ahead.

J is for Jayden ..... My son ..... who will be turning 10 on Wednesday.
So J is in honor of his Birthday .......

I did a mini photo shot with my children some weeks ago ... and you may remember I posted a few of them

I also held one back its one of my favorites mainly because it captures his cheekiness, and he is (cause you know he had to) wearing his favorite tatty hat .....

When my mom saw this photo first thing she said was "He's got that flipping hat on again"


So a Big Happy Birthday  to Jayden ......

The ABC :I is for Ice

 Let me say first ... please excuses my lack of posts... its been a very difficult week... but we are back to normal...and strolling on...

So Happy Monday to you all...

ABC Monday .... and we are on the letter Ice... so in honor of the snow I have going on outside after 3 beautiful days of 50-60 degree weather... I thought I would bring you I is for Ice ...

I had so many ideas for I...but Ice won ...manly because it is snowing again.... and I couldn't take my mind of the fact that sooner or later that said snow would turn to ice ...

So like we always say ...Remember anyone can join in with ABC Monday .... just show a craft or a color or a photo that is the letter we are on for the week.

The ABC : H is for Helmet

 H .... was going to be hat .. worn by my lovely daughter, but she really wasn't up for having her photo taken at all this weekend....

So my best friend said helmet.....

We have a very special helmet hanging in our dinning room ... its a firefighters helmet once worn by my husband .....

He was a volunteer firefighter for many years, and we have lots and I mean lots of firefighter memorabilia in or dinning room...but the helmet really stands out...

Because it has just like him been into many fires....

So in honor of my husband and all the firefighters out there that have and continue to risk there lives

H is in a way for you

So like we always say ...Remember anyone can join in with ABC Monday .... just show a craft or a color or a photo that is the letter we are on for the week.

The ABC :E is for Egg

 Or in this case Eggs.


When I began the ABC I planned a few out in advance, E was one of them.....

I knew I wanted to do Egg and I knew how I wanted it all to look ...the lighting and the over all feel ...and then I went a brought a new camera..

That changed everything ..

Because as you know when using something new it always takes that little bit longer to execute the plan .....

I nearly gave up at one point and went and picked up my old beloved camera.... but I didn't, instead I stuck it out and after some choice words and a few kiddie fits I got there.

I am now happy

This is a bit of a different look .... not the usual Tatter Beans look..... but I do like it ...makes me feel a bit warmer inside as it is snowing outside again.

And the Eggs remind me of soldiers standing to attention....
We came up with some random facts about Eggs as a family ...

I (Rachel) don't eat the white of the egg unless its scrambled
Bip (my son) doesnt eat the (in his words) yellow yucking bit unless its scrambled
Bop (my daughter) LOVESSSSS eggs
Hubby ..... why are we doing random facts about eggs?

So there you have it Random Facts about Eggs

And don't forget this weeks giveaway .... It ends Saturday 26th of February (midnight est time) and I will announce the winner on Sunday.

Remember anyone can join in with ABC Monday .... just show a craft or a color or a photo that is the letter we are on for the week.

Have fun and enjoy the rest of your day.

The ABC : D is for Dice

 Dictionaries are a very useful tool to have laying around, so I have come to find out

I used one yesterday ... well The Hubby did he read out all the words from the D is for page.

He read most of the silly D's if I'm honest but he did read one that he didn't think I would use ... and when I kept saying Dice to him .. he would say "how can Dice inspire you?"

Dice did inspire me ... it made me think of something manly ... and there is something really romantic about the word manly ... I'm not sure what it is but its there on the tip of my tongue.

 Or could it just be the romance of the day.... Maybe?

So here is D is for Dice

Thanks to Paint The Moon... the template that I use to show the ABC's is a download from Paint The Moon

And as always if you would like to link up there are no real rules ... all you need do is either show a craft,print or even a color that follows along with the letter we are on... and then leave a comment with the link to your ABC for us to come view.

I'm really looking forward to see what you guys came up with this week

Well I wish you all a Happy Valentines Day....

Much ♥ Rachel

The ABC :C is for Coffee

 The ABC .....
Its like the ABC for Adults ... and honestly I am having so much fun doing this...

At some point I will produce cards out of the ABC photos.... just have to find the right paper ... paper is an issuse with me... Im not sure why ... I think it may be my anal ways ... yes I am totaly anal over some stuff and other stuff I dont give a dammm about... I guess its a good thing cause to be total anal over everything would make life unbearable for the Hubby and the kids....

But paper yes big hang ups over...

So C is for Coffee .......

This would have been so easy if I hadn't had so many ideas given to me last night when I sat down to do this.

I put it out there to the household... C is for?

Cookie.... Cake..... Cupid.... Crayons..... Cars...... Cats......Candles......Canary Yellow...(what) ..... Castles.....Clowns......Cups.....Clock........Catapult....(no way).....Crown......(you would say that).....Cow......(I am not going out to the fields at this time of night to take photography's of cows)..... OK well then we are out of ideas..... until the hubby said do you fancy a coffee Hun ......

Ye he clinched it....

 

C is for Coffee

This week is the letter B ... I had a few ideas for this.... Bike ... Bushes... but in the end I went with Buttons....

Buttons make me think of crafts and my daughter..... she loves buttons and sticking them on to paper to form pictures.... and I think she will love this print ......
