Comments closed – Congrats yvette!
February has always been a big celebrating month for us. Paul and I celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary yesterday. We always have a quiet day, usually spent celebrating one of the kids birthdays. Yesterday was Abby’s turn.
4 years ago exactly today, right now, I was just starting Jacob on his first day of school. I was a bundle of nerves, my biggest baby starting school. I sat in his classroom for an hour doing jobs for the teacher knowing full well I was in labour. I picked Jacob up at the end of the day, driving the 2 minute drive to school inbetween contractions that were 7 minutes apart. By 10.40pm that night my big boy had completed his first day at school and I was holding my new baby girl.
Happy 4th Birthday Abby :o)
We celebrated with a trip to Butterfly Creek. Which I have always loved. But which didn’t impress me yesterday. There didn’t seem to be many butterflies, although Braden managed to find a friend which everyone thought was so cute as it rode around on his head for about 5 minutes.
Back home for more cake, more drinks, more socialising and I *think* we are done for birthdays for a while.
(And a little note – Happy Birthday to Chris Millar for today also!)
Giveaways!! Tuesday’s giveaway – congrats to Kirsten N (nthrn NSW) – I’ll get this stuff in the mail to you ASAP if you email me your address!
I’ll leave the comments at this post open for a bit longer if you want to leave your name to win one of those trays. Actually Abby hasn’t finished playing with them yet. LOL.
Today’s giveaway – and perhaps the last for a while – is pictured below, leave me a comment if you want your name in the draw. There are rub-ons, flocked alpha, Making Memories stuff, a little Queen & Co, some gorgeous ribbon…
OK now I need a favour. I desperatly need a copy or two of the Scrapbooking Memories Magazine Vol 9 No2. It has a layout I created with my nephew in it and I have never had a copy to show my SIL – I need to give her a few copies really. Does anyone have one they wouldn’t mind sending me? I’ll pay for it – pay postage – no probs, I just really need to get my hands on a copy or two. Email me please!
Interesting thread on 2peas with pics of one of the new BG lines… I’m dying to post my layouts here. I am loving the sneaks slowly coming out.
I’m currently working on a layout about the conversation we had with Abby about her ‘Whole World’. It’s not for anything. Nothing. No restrictions on topic, product, anything. I can’t remember last time I did this. I’m kinda stuck. lol
I’ll show you when I’m done.
Edited: Here is the layout. Cosmo Cricket papers (Hey Sugar), My fav alphas ever cherryarte, SR ledger paper and circular disc thing, MAMBI swirl, a bit of hambly, a little bit of CI and a bit of stamping. The photos are not so blown out IRL, it’s the stupid light and the stupid person using stupid photoshop to try and fix it!
YES. It’s blue-green and red-orange again. I know I use blue-green or light blue for every layout I do. I like it. Isn’t that what it’s all about? I am also loving creating the little cluster of embellishments right now too. It’s my fav part of a whole layout at the moment. I layer some papers and then sit and play with little clusters of embellishments for hours. Paul would much rather I cooked dinner. lol.
Laters.
