Identity matters

I've just finished filling in the 2011 UK Census and two questions have been really interesting. I asked my children how they wanted to describe their national identity and their religion. Whilst my husband and I gave the same answers to both, none of the children wanted to give the same answers as us, and actually all were different from each other. It just shows how important it was to ask them and not complete the form on their behalf. I am really proud of them for giving considered answers that represent how they feel about identity and religion.


Yesterday I told you how we went along the Camel Trail geocaching on Friday. This morning I made a digital scrapbooking page of the walk. I used digital papers and embellishments from the Time Traveller collection by Scrapgirl (at http://www.scrapgirls.com/). I've created quite a simple layout which allows the photos and journalling to take centre stage. With me being the only girl in a family of four men (or nearly men!), my layouts often have a neutral or slightly masculine feel and this one is no exception. I really like the Time Traveller collection as it has a vintage feel but also a steam punk feel, and they are two of my favourite styles.

I've also started a new crochet amigurumi today using  Saplanet's  The Didis pattern (at http://simpleartsplanet.com/). I'm aiming to finish this for next Sunday's show and tell.


Until next time
