Have been busy over the last couple of weeks with the school holidays I have been taking the kids to Casey Race our local pools twice a week I did manage to go down the water slides but there was one slide that I'd rathjer give birth than go down it again but at least I can say I tried it. I had a crop last Saturday and managed to get nearly 3 double layouts done.
I have been doing lots of playing with the NEW Kut it Out goodies will show sometime this week....
Thats it for now be back soon
I remeber when I first found the big world of scrapping blogs I use to hang out for some of my favorite scrappers to update there blogs and I use to get annoyed having to wait well I am one of those people now that have taken my time updating my blog it's been over a month since my last post and lots has happen..
* Celebrated Christmas kids got very spolit as per usual Olivia got lots of Hannah Montanna stuff and an IPOD Nano, Riley got Transfomers stuff which he is obsessed about. Mum and Dad brough us a really good family pressie we got a Wii and lots of games and Wii Fit have not been able to get on it much yet as the kids are hogging it all the time.
* In between Christmas and New Years we did all of our new front yard lots of new plants (I got my way and got 2 palm trees) our front yard looks so nice now with new turf and plants...
* New Years was spent at Karens it was a stinking hot day and night and I ended up jumping in the pool fully clothed very refreshing against my nice red sunburn from doing the gardening.
* Craig had three weeks off so we went on a few family outings we went to a trout farm and caught 3 salmon Olivia hated the fish going anywhere near her, it was a very expensive outing as you pay per kilo of fish so for 30 mins fishing 3 salmon and $133.00 later we were off...we called into Grants picnic ground and the kids loved feeding the birds and one even landed on Olivia's hand.
* We have been to Casey Race a couple of times the kids love the pools there and of course the water slides I made Mel go down and I could'nt get out what I was trying to say to her as I was Laughing that much at her screaming..she did get some good underwater photos of Olivia.
* When out for Yum Cha for Jenni's 40th birthday with the scrapping girls Yum Cha was very interesting could not eat the chicken feet what is the go with people eating them.
* I have been doing lots of scrapping with Olivia over the school holidays she loves playing around with my goodies she did this one page that looked like a florist had attacked her page but as long as she is happy with what she is creating then I am..I held a mother daughter crop yesterday lots of very creative next generation scrappers there and of course us mums....I have been busy playing around with the new goodies from Kut It Out (website coming very soon) and also doing lots of new samples for Bumble bee Crafts (will take pics and post them over the next few days).
* Only 2 weeks left of the school holidays and I have to admit I have enjoyed them Olivia is heading into Grade 4 this year it will be interesting to see how she goes as she has had the same teacher for the last 3 years, Riley is off to kinder I get 11 hours child free time a week can't wait...
* I am holding my first adult crop of the year Karen from Kut it out will be there with her new goodies, nearly a full house a long cop this time 3.00 til midnight hoping to finish of my Countdown to Christmas album and do some layouts in between chatting and eating. My classes are starting back on 5th Feb...will be having a little break in March off on a family holiday to QLD looking forward to the theme parks and catching up with friends.
Can't think of anything else at the moment but I will be back soon.
I have been umming and ahhing whether to chop my hair and today I went to my hairdresser and decided to change the colour and to chop it. I have not had my hair this short in over 15 years....I always have my hair light blonde but you always ended up looking witchy....so now with my nice new hairstyle it's longer at the sides and shorter at the back I will be able to spend less time doing my hair.
In scrapping news have been mainly doing my Countdown to Christmas album and some Bumble Bee projects will be back to share some pics.. I have my last crop of the year This Saturday night and it's booked out looking forward to it hopefully I will be able to get some stuff done.
