So after my simply spiffing if not exhausting week away I thought it was about time I did some scrapbooking.  I love these photos of my friend Jackie and I, a self portrait taken in Devon.  It was our first trip away together (we have been separated by two corridors, a hall and a dining room that divides key stage 1 with key stage 2 for the past....ooh...mumble years) I'm sure after working together when we were first employed at our school we have been parted due to either a. bad behaviour or b. we have too much fun together.

The sentiment card is from Jellibean Soup and paper from Prima.  The white piece of card is just to cover  the name of where we went for this photo.

Anyway, back to the layout.  We are a right odd couple, so completely different except for one thing....no two.  We love our jobs and love having fun.  I have to say that without Jackie I certainly wouldn't be involved in so many fun activities.  She encourages my naughty side.  Needless to say we never stopped laughing when we were away. 

A little spritz of cosmic and glimmer sprays...

The photos show us looking rough and ready for action.  You don't have anytime at all for yourself when you are away with 46 children and are on call 24/7 and sleep in a hostel style bunk bed.  Hence the blotchy eyed, non makeup, hat covers all sins, cosy hoodie look.  Sometimes we looked worse....like when we got stuck in the river bank mud after kayaking and ended up crawling up the bank on our hands and knees.  Don't worry, we got hosed down by the instructor with cold water....thanks for that matey.


Couldn't resist this line in my journaling...I have lost count of how many times I have heard it:)

And we were still laughing;)
