Some layouts

Not much to report this week. I’ve been busy with the normal household jobs plus getting organised for our vacation. We leave tomorrow straight after school. We’ll be staying in my parents van down the coast at Gerroa. It’s only a 40min drive so very close to home.

So today I just wanted to share some recents layouts. The first one is Christy’s birthday, the other two are Easter layouts for the girls albums – trying to get them a bit more up-to-date. I am SOOOO enjoying my new photo printer.

A wonderful Sunday

scrapbook page

I had a really great Sunday. We started off the morning with a family walk down to the lake. I was inspired by Gretchen’s putt putt layout and started to make when we got back. It’s the first time EVER I have scrapbooked photos taken on the same day. Annie you are right – it was so fun!!

Kevin was wanting to do something today. That was fine with me but it was too nice a day to spend indoors either shopping or going to the movies. I suggested we go to Kiama – a seaside town about 30mins away. Then I remembered it was market day so that’s what we did. We packed some lunch which we enjoyed sitting on the grass. The girls went on some rides and visited the petting zoo and we wandered through the stalls buying a few bits and pieces. I was rather pleased to be able to buy some more seedlings for the veggie garden. Such a good idea – you buy a punnet and can fill it with whatever seedlings you like. So much better than better 6 of one plant. It was such a beautiful day to spend outdoors. And funnily enough we realized we last went to the markets here in Sept last year. When we came home the girls had a swim, I planted my seedling and finished off the scrapbook page. We then watched Camp Rock. Kinda cute but I don’t think quite the league of High School Musical.

Aren’t those cupcakes the cutest? Almost too nice to eat. Lucky they tasted as good as they looked.

Decisions, decisions, decisions

I have less than 48 hours to decide if I’m going to go to Heidi Swapp’s Create 08 classes in December. I’d love to go, the main problem is it’s in Brisbane or Melbourne. I decided on Brisbane cause I’d get to meet Chanel, whose blog I read. I had initially thought I’d just fly up and back the same day but since it starts at 8.30am and I have no idea where I’m going I think I’d have to stay over the night before. So now I’m up for the cost of the classes – $240 (loads of goodies included), air fare (hoping to get a cheap rate), parking at the airport, car hire in Brisbane and accomodation. Hmm….. typing all this out I’m thinking it’s really going to cost a bit too much.
