So much for Sunny September. Typically the weather went back to winter today given that the schools were on holiday!
We kept them amused though, we went swimming this morning then for lunch and then went to see Brave this afternoon so we've had a full day. I had been hoping to get some crafting done but that hasn't materialised. Yet. I should really do some school uniform ironing for tomorrow.
On to today's offering. I was asked to make a guest book for a friend's uncle who was retiring from the Fire Service after 30 years. I went for a very simple design. Wasn't sure the recipient would appreciate lots of embellies!
The inner pages are just a simple cream with a strip of patterned paper down the side of them. I also included a page where he could add a photo later if he wanted.
The party was on Friday so I'm hoping that the guest book went down well.

I'm glad you had a good day, despite the weather. Yes, I heard it somewhere that we were going to have a sunny September too, it seems they may have got it wrong!
