A quick photo update.

Hey there, here's some pics of what we have been up to lately.  I'll be back with a scrappy update soon. 

We took a train into the city for the day a few weeks ago and had some Japanese for lunch and did a bit of shopping etc. We also took some ace pics of the kids. How disgusting are these jackets? (but I do love the pics).

We have been painting and redecorating our lounge room. My scrap room has been painted, I just need to finish reorganising it and it will be done. We also got a new fish tank. It is so AWESOME. I could watch it all day. It's so relaxing.

Our fish tank was a second hand set up so it came with fish. The boys were so excited that it had two clown fish(Nemo and Marlin).But we have added some extras now. We got a dory(blue tang) and a gorgeous blue star fish. 

I have given in to my LOVE for Pandora and got a necklace. I just love it. 

Yertle the Turtle is happy in his new home. He was originally in a tank when we got him from Kinder. He now has a pond, paved area and garden to wander around in. He loves the camera too. He sticks his head right in the lens. LOL.

We LOVE meringues. I have been experimenting with different shapes and sizes. These are our meringue monsters we made for easter.

Some of my Favourite photos from easter

The boys love these. K-nex. They got some for christmas and we play with them all the time.

Declan is a big school boy now and is going along well. I haven't posted any pics yet so here's some. Bailey was made the SRC member for his grade. He made this suggestion box for his class(with a bit of help). Declan made this cute elephant mask at school.

Anyway I'll be back soon with some layouts and some AP updates(lot's going on). I need to take some photos of my layouts. I left it too late today and they were dodgy.

See ya soon

Such a bad bad blogger!!!

Anyway I don't have any excuse for my absense. Except that I haven't really had much scrappin to share lately. Just not really getting anything done. Hopefully I'll get back into it now.

I am feeling inspired ATM. Started a follow the leader ran by Jodie at AP and am starting to get all sorts of ideas. So hopefully I put them on paper.  Jodie is running a number of cool challenges from the cybercrop and even if you didn't make the crop you have until monday night to complete them to be in the running for a RAK. Why not have a look. 

AP is also having a DT competition. you have until sunday night to register and the comp starts on monday. You can find the details at Artypants

or on the new AP blog 

Jodie has updated the shopping cart with some cool Hambly and Basic Grey products aswell as the May kit. It is gorgeous a nice mix of natural tones and blue, Jodie has done some lovely sample Lo's too.

I had a play with the March kit. Here are my sample Lo's etc

I loved using this kit. Isn't that Rose Moka paper gorgeous the kit also had heaps of Buzz and bloom chipboard gotta love that.

This is a Lo I did a while ago using the puzzlesketches pieces

These are my most recent Stuck Lo's don't think I have already posted them.

Anyway I'll leave it at that for the moment. I'll pop back with some photos to update everything else I have been up to.

See ya

I'll try not to disappear for so long this time.

OMG!!!! I didn't realise it had been so long.

I don't quite know where to start. I might need to do this one in segments I think. 

I'll start with christmas, It was wonderful. The boys had a fantastic time and got so many presents. I really need to do a clean out of the toy room. 

The whole month of December was pretty busy with parties and school and kinder special days etc.

I hope you all had a wonderful christmas.

Anyway here are some of our favourite photos.

New Years was pretty quiet, we just went out for dinner early in the night with the kids. We went to an all you can eat, so they had a ball. So did the BIG boy of the family. Then we went back to my sisters and played guitar hero. 

Bailey broke his elbow on the trampoline. He didn't fall off(it has a net) he just landed the wrong way. It's not a huge break but he has a back slab(half cast) on his arm. He is managing fine but it has been a bit of a bummer with the holidays. He should get it off next tuesday which is just in time for school, which he is very stressed about just incase he has to go to school with it on.

We have just been chillin' for the holidays. Rick has had time off so we have tried to get some stuff done around the house and jut relaxed at home with the kids. We took the kids into the city for lunch at China town which was alot of fun. Other than that we have just been having BBQ's at the park and going out for dinner etc but they seem to be enjoying being at home.  We went to see the sand sculptures at Frankston beach, but we couldn't believe how busy it was so we did something else instead, we will still go before the holidays are over, they look fantastic

Both the boys are so excited about school starting. It is both scary and exciting for me. I thought it was bad when Bailey went but I think it's worse this time because Declan's the baby.

But on the other hand think of all the time I will have to myself.

As far as scrapping goes I haven't really done that much over the last few months. I have only been doing my STUCK LO's. I am hoping to get back into it over the next few weeks as school goes back and things settle down a bit. I'd like to start getting some albums together and doing some challenges too.

Unfortunately Artypants has closed it's shop front, but will be relaunching the internet store soon. I already miss being able to pop in and pick up my bits and bobs and off course have a chat. But look forward to catching up with everyone soon.

I have had a chance to do a massive clean out in my scrap room though and it is started to look really good and most things have a place now which makes it a bit easier to find things.

Here's my most recent stuck lo's

Oh well, I think I made it all in one post without going on too much. 

I'll make sure not to leave it so long between posts next time.

See ya

Quick LO share

Not much to share this week. Just a few Lo's and cards. I have been sick most of the week. So I am so far behind with housework and pretty much everything.

Here is my LO for sketch #64 for STUCK 

I had so much fun working with this sketch.

This Lo and these cards are my most recent DT projects for ARTYPANTS

I have got lot's of bits and pieces on the go ATM I am finding it had to just stick with one thing and get it done lately.

Thanks for looking

Thanks again for all your lovely comments!

See ya

My first sketch

Hi there,

 I am so excited to say that I am now part of the Creative Team at STUCK.

I have really enjoyed using Sara's sketches during the mini comp. I am happy to be part of such a great team and love seeing what everyone comes up with each week. Also so cool to be on the team along with Jodie. 

Here is my LO from my first sketch as a CT member.

These are just a few of my recent LO's

I kind of scraplifted my own LO "I think I love you" for this LO.  I just wanted to do something with this photo of DH. 

Well not much else to share ATM.

 Thanks heaps for your recent comments, as always I really appreciate your kind words.TFL.

See ya
