The titles were cut with Man, Oh, Man! Sizzlit dies from the film-strip frame waste from my Bellagio Fountains page |
3, 2 and 1 are for the physio appointments, consultant appointments and steroid injection I had for my various ailments ... getting old is no fun at all!
1 = an unexpected overnight guest, delayed on her way home to the Isle of Man when the ferry company texted her to say that the ferry had broken down ... and was returning to Douglas without any passengers! Luckily she was able to reverse her journey slightly and stay with us. We put the world to rights over a couple of
2 = free tickets for the Moscow State Circus at the theatre where I work occasionally. It was a brilliant show on our tiny stage with laughter at the various clowns, wincing at the contortionist's impossible angles and wonder at the strength, grace and skill of the various acrobatic acts.
24/7 = Hubby's cover at work ... much too restricting even though he wasn't called out!
7 = nights I spent in Vegas with 5 friends. I dared to do my 1st helicopter flight and notched up my 100th geocache while I was there too.
4 = days spent in Krakow by Child No.3 who "enjoyed" her visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau and now wants to get married in the Salt Mines!
There wasn't quite room on my page for some of my other numbered notes so I'll add them here:
4 = books taken to Las Vegas, where, apart from the travel guides, I didn't read a thing! Once I was back in the UK, I did manage to read 1 story about harvesting people for organs to order - yuk - "The Fifth Vial" by Michael Palmer.
45 = minutes spent on the phone to No.2 Son trying to determine what he thinks he's doing at university!
200 = blog posts celebrated with a Tagxedo tutorial.
I used a border punch to add interest to some more counterfeit washi tape |

Thanks for joining in ... don't worry I don't record late entries in red pen ;-) In fact, you're the 2nd person to have just remembered March's numbers when they came to do April's.
You sound like you had a great month, very internationally flavoured!
You're on the board now: http://pinterest.com/notesonpaper/my-month-in-numbers/

I have never seen this before - what a super idea :0) Love the colours...a brilliant use of your scraps!
Well done on getting March done - I can't quite fathom how we got through April so quickly! Your Las Vegas trip sounds fantastic.
I remember you telling me that this is what you were doing and now I see it on your LO I really love the idea and your page
I love all the little pieces of your life this project reveals. Hope the toes are feeling better and that the steroid injection provides some relief :) and I'm still marvelling at that helicopter trip
What a great way to use your kit, and a great project idea. I missed that you were doing a project like this, I love it!
I have to tell you - I was reading quickly and not carefully and thought you said you work occasionally for the Moscow State Circus. I thought - wait, she's in Moscow, how did I miss that? I reread and straightened out the confusion in my own mind, but now I'll always think of you and your time in the circus!!haha
Better late than never. Some good numbers there. I like the idea of tags. I've just bought some tiny coloured ones so i might steal this idea for April, if you wouldn't mind
Mine are just in blog land - haven't managed to get any on paper yet so well done for that :0)
An action packed time for your family. Your mum's toes sound painful and I know what you mean about the getting old syndrome; I have far too many aching joints. Las Vegas with friends, how wonderful and the helicopter ride.
I empathise with the phone call...Kirsty and I have the same sort of conversations!

What a busy but fun month you've had
lots of numbers there - a lovley layout of a fun packed month....apart from the toes and injections!!
Sounds like March was a fun month. I'm trying to create my Month in Numbers layout within a few days of the new month . . . so far so good this year. For April, I started a draft blog post and have been adding in a few numbers when they occur or come to mind, so I think I'll get my April up in a day or two. Great idea to go ahead & prep your April page, too. I'm using a digi template for mine, so it's easy to pop everything in.
Love how you've presented your Month in Numbers
I really like the idea of the month in numbers but I'm just not sure I should be adding another idea to my list of monthly items! Great layout though
March sounds like it was a good month, especially the trip to vegas. Did you enjoy the helicopter ride? I'm jealous! x
Ireally like your layout for this - it's ideal for recording short notes of your month.
Sounds like you were really busy - no wonder you didn't get round to recording the month while it was happening!
Thank you for the WBD book by the way - it arrived in this morning's post and is now by my bed. I promise to pass it on asap!
Have a good week!
Sounds like you had a great month x
We visited krakow over Easter & your daughter is right the Salt Mines would be a great place to get married but the lift back up is not too pleasant!
What a great month it looks like you had. Great page too.
neat page, I do like the border punches, have just splurged and bought a set.
Neat idea to do April's too - always good to be prepared :)
