A Mini a Month Challenge

Well the updating of the blog was short lived again.  This was due to more internet problems at home which I think have been resolved.  It would appear I had an intermittent fault with my modem so a new one is awaited and fingers crossed I will get uninterupted online access.

This year I am definately on a mission to use up more stash and as I am on a strict budget I will only be buying my monthly kit and the essential supplies.

Karen on UKS has started a great challenge A Mini A Month - she will be posting prompts and instructions for a different mini book each month and there is a great thread for this on UKS.  The first one is an envelope book and the theme is to be New Beginnings.  Well after my short lived attempt at dieting last year I have decided to start the year by re joining Slimming World.  The difference this time is that I am being joined by a very good friend and we will be encouraging each other along to make sure we stay on the straight and anrrow.  I have decided that my book will be about my diet progress so I have made the book all ready to go and I will be adding pics to it as the year goes on.

It did take me two goes to get this right last night and the original book was somewhat larger but after having a disaster went for a small one with 4 x 4 envelopes just so that I didnt waste so much paper - however I do really like the dinky size so I might just go with this one.

    what a great idea ... maybe you could also use your blog as a note as to how much you've lost each month, that may also inspire you.

    The mini book looks lovely, and a great way to use up all your stash.

    Lovely simple mini- I really like the colours you have used...

    I am also going with small envelopes as I figured it would take a second attempt to get it right as well.

    Fingers cross for you on your slimming adventures this year - a friend is definately a must when doing stuff like this that..

    Congrats on finishing up the mini....

    Jhay..

    This is really gorgeous Suzy, I love the colours and PP's used. The flower on the front cover is beautiful and finishes it off perfectly :)

    Thanks for taking part in the AMAM challenge :)

    Good luck with your slimming world.
