I’ve actually had these up for a week now. My Dad was kind enough to put them together for me. And I LOOOOOVE them. They look great and hold so much. The ladder is especially cute don’t you think?

Now I just have finish off getting my photos organised and practice keeping my desk clear….

Here’s a couple of layouts I’ve done the last week. I was going well but today… oh, boy – took over an hour to do a simple layout that I’m not that happy with.

Here’s my most favourite recent layout – got the idea from a 6×4 photo idea book.

And finally my egg carton for BPS A Baker’s Dozen class – this is so much fun. And it’s not too late to join in.

Happy Birthday….. to me!!!

Gee, no forgetting your age when you have a Wii fit :-).

We were out last night to celebrate my friends Sam’s birthday. It was a great night and so good to see both her (and Sue) again. I used to see these girls on a weekly basis at playgroup and I do miss their company. Lucky for me I’ll be going away with them for the weekend in just a couple of weeks.

This morning I opened some presents from the girls – a bike helmet and some gloves.

After the school uniform shop I made some anzac cookies and took them (and some eggs) to my friend Kay who has been really ill for the last few weeks. It was very nice to catch up and sit and chat. I don’t do it often enough and really need to make more time for my friends.

After lunch I managed to scrapbook a few pages.

After school we had a birthday afternoon tea at my Mum’s. It was extra nice as both Kevin and my Dad were there.

Tonight Kevin was a real sweetie and went out in the rain to get me some rice paper rolls for dinner. We then watched a couple of episodes of Jimmy’s Farm. So it was a very nice birthday indeed.

Hmm..I wonder if the wii fit is trying to tell me to get my butt to the gym…

Weekend round-up

img_0339

Had a nice, but busy weekend. On Saturday the girls had drama, then Amy had two birthday parties to attend in the afternoon. I pottered around a bit and finish off this little album that I started on Friday afternoon. I love how it turned out – and it’s something very different for me -but was really oh, so, easy – which really is me.

Kevin was away Sat and Sat night – he wanted to try out camping with the motorbike – he was very cold and I don’t think too impressed. The girls and I went with Mum & Dad to have a look at a caravan park for us to stay at in the October school holidays. It looks very nice, has a kids club and is only 30mins from home. The girls can’t wait.

Afterwards we had a nice lunch in Gerringong.

Then had a look through some shops – Mum & I found these wonderful goodies at a cute little shop – couldn’t believe how cheap things were. We did buy more but some is for my birthday next week.

Layouts

Some more layouts to share today. As I said, I’m on a real roll.

First up is this weeks Scrap Happy’s 30 min Thursday Challange. The challenge was to scrapbook your favourite book and include some journalling lines. I had these little book cards which I though most appropriate.

ilayout - favourite book

Next up was a layout for the 28 days class using a memory spark and a sketch. I chose shopping – thought it pretty appropriate at this moment in time :-).

love to shop layout

Last up I REALLY wanted to use this very yummy making memories paper. Didn’t need to do much besides add the photo and a few embellishments.
