Scrapbooking Memories want to publish MY LO!! I will actually get to see MY work and MY beautiful daughter in print - with MY name underneath them!! How Kool!!!
Well i have probably rambled enough!! My head is throbbing a bit so i am going to go lie down with my boys - (Hopefully they will lie there and watch cartoons and fall asleep so then i can too!! LOL!!)

Another wednesday gone!

This year is going way too fast! It feels like a blur! I stayed up so late last night scrapping! I did a LO on my gorgeous girl though that i absolutely LOVE! I got my inspiration from the lovely Jen Hall - I love how she uses fabric ties on her LOs and i had a look in her gallery in her blog and decided to have a go myself! Jen is a gorgeous scrapper and a lovely lady too - I have had the pleasure of meeting her in real life - go check out her blog from my links!! So this is my way of thanking Jen for the inspiration!! LOL!!

I hope you like it Jen!!

Well busy day today - I had volleyball this morning - we lost too! Bugger ay!! I then went and had lunch with my lovely friend Gretta and her cutie little baby Dominic! She is enjoying being a mum so much - It was great to see her so happy!!! she deserves it!! Then had to get the boys and i ended up being lazy and getting maccas for dinner - I fell asleep not long after getting home and Jono put all the kids to bed! What a sweetie! I cant believe i fell asleep!! LOL!! I will be up all night now!

I have been trying to think of xmas pressies for Mitch and Alicia - Matt is pretty much done - Just waiting for toys r us to get the last thing in - I have decided to get Alicia a Care Bear - But - Cant find the colour i want! Why is it the shops only have the yucky orange or yellow ones!! So annoying! I want pink or purple! I want a pretty girly one for my little princess! I have half my xmas shopping done - Just so hard when my kids are spoilt rotten and have everything already!!

Anyway - I am going to go do some scrapping! (Well try to - I have some more circle journals i got to do!!)

New Look!!

I have decided to revamp my blog a bit!! I have been trying to upload a header but it just wont work for me - Trying to get some help with it though!! And i got rid of all that pink!! YAY!!!
Pretty nothing day today! Yesterday we took the kids up to the water and Jono took the boys in a paddle boat and a kayak - They had a blast!! It was very kool - I got a few good photos - Would have taken more but i was pushing Alicia and then i had to watch Mitch aswell while Matt had a go in the kayak - I want to try and do a home photo shoot some time soon - I need some great new photos for my scrapping inspiration!!!

I will leave you with another LO i did last week! This one is using a challenge pack from my LSS - I might win a voucher for there if i get enough votes!!!

I am so slack!

Over a week since i posted last!! I am a naughty blogger arent i!! Me and my daughter have both been sick though so I will blame it on that!! I have scrapped a few pages!

This one of Alicia was for the scrapneeds Lucky 3 challenge - I am pretty happy with how it turned out as I would never really scrap them colours together!! And i altered that pic of Alicia to match it!

I also did this one of Matthew - We had to handsew, use tags, handwrite and use handwriting! I tried to scrap one of the boys so it didnt look like i was always scrapping Alicia!! LOL!! Plus i think these pics of Matt are pretty cute!! He was so proud of himself being able to blow bubbles by himself!!

Well not much happened this week - Volleyball on wed and thurs - we won both games too - Had lunch with friends on wednesday.

Well i am going to try and head to bed and get some much needed sleep - Hope i feel better tomorrow!! (Well today technically!)

Sunny Saturday!!

Well it is pretty warm here today!! I would love a nice cool rainy day!!
Guess What!!! I am so excited - I am getting my very first scrapbook LO published!!! In For Keeps magazine - Issue 40 which i worked out will come out in about March! I am so stoked!! And it is a LO of Alicia so my beautiful girl will be seen by everyone who reads it!! How Kool!!
Well it has been a busy week again! Wednesday especially! Volleyball and Matts school orientation - Thankfully only one more week to go and it is before volleyball this week! Took the kids down to chipmunks yesterday - They ran around for about 2 hours - they slept in this mroning though so maybe i should do it more!! HAHA!!! Alicia has a bit of a fever so she is a bit cranky! She amazes me though - I just turned around to see how she was and she waved at me - The first time she has waved!! So then we kept doing it to each other!! So cute!! Even though she is sick she is still one amazing little girl!!
Well i have double booked myself for tonight!! I am going to scrap with a friend and it is scrap needs 1st birthday party!! I want to do both!!! Bugger! I might have to steal my friends computer for a while at her house!! LOL!!!
Here is a LO i did this week of my gorgeous girl!! I love them prima flowers!!! YUMMO!!!

I went to my first paper fair!!!

I had so mush fun!! yesterday, Jono and me went to the paper crafts festival down at Penrith - Yes - Jono went with me!! Isnt he a sweetie!! He carried all the bags for me and kept telling me to buy whatever i wanted!! I love him so much!!! So i have taken a pic of all the yummy goodies i got - I so easily could have gotten more too!! LOL!!! I also got to meet up with some lovely ladies that i have chatted with for over a year! It was great!! Pity i didnt get to spend more time with them though!
And here is a LO i did the other day of my handsome Matt! Very simple but gee it was hard to do though! It just didnt come easy to me!
After the paper fair yesterday me and Jono went and played Aqua golf, mini golf, we then went and ate at lone star and also stopped in and bought some krispy kremes!!! YUMMO!! It was a fantastic day!! So relaxing and it was great to spend all that time with Jono with no kids!! Definately need that more!!!
Well now i am sitting here watching greys anatomy - brilliant show - i love it!! And trying to scrap a CJ that i REALLY need to do NOW!! So i will check back in soon!!!

Finally!!!

I am making another post!! It has been one hectic weekend!! I am still buggered! Jono and I went bowling on sunday - we played two games and i won the first!!! I was so stoked!! He flogged me in the secong though! And we went for a swim after he got home from work yesterday - both times with no kids and gee it was relaxing!! To have US time and NO KIDS!!!! And i am so excited - If we get some money that should be coming on thursday - we are going to the paper fair at penrith on sunday - and Jono is taking me - which means that he will probably let me buy whatever i want!! How kool!!! So Penrith here i come!! I cant wait to get some great goodies!!! YAY!!! I have done hardly any scrapping this week - I feel lazy!! I might have to get off here now and go see what i can come up with! Jono will be home soon though - Melbourne cup day - they get off early so they can watch the race! Which he has no interest in! So we are all going shopping! FUN!! I also got to see my mum and my nan on saturday! My nan is quite sick so it was great to go down and visit and she got to see the kids! Well I am going to scrap!! I actually feel like it now!! I promise i wont wait so long to blog again!! LOL!!!
