Just a quickie

Aaaaaw I went and saw a new baby tonight. Soooo cuuuute! Little Rhys, didn't even make me clucky though so I am definately NOT having anymore kids. My 2 have driven me insane lately, a 3rd would send me over the edge completely!!!

While they were at mum's and I had a spaer hour I got busy with publisher and finally made the raffle books, made the covers, posters, flyers and even did the calendar bottoms. Now I just have to print out 150 copies of raffle tickets, and over 1000 pages of calendars!!! Geeez I'll be a busy girl! Here is the 2008 calendar, every page is a different colour scheme. I just hope it is all right, I make it all manually using a spread sheet. Hope the dates are all correct. Then everyone makes an A4 sized custom top which I laminate and bind with the bottom. Finished product looks really good if I do say so myself. Now I just have to get time to make one for us and all the family members!! We usually raise over $1000 each year doing this fundraiser but I have to do it ALL and it is a LOT of work.

And here is the top half! Closest thing I'll get to a layout for now :( I'm really happy with it.

When I saw this photo I just HAD to scrap it. It is the best photo ever. So I did a page to capture it's beauty. These 2 cute little girls belong to a friend and I just hope she likes what I have done. So girly and glittery and of course BUTTERFLIES!!! What little girl doesn't like butterflies & glitter?

Long time no blog :(

I haven't abandoned my blog. I just don't have ANY free time ATM. I'm nearly finished some of my backlog of computer work. No pages for a week!!

I am secretary of our local Playgroup. You might think it isn't a big job......................until you meet our president. She is a tyrant!!! Only kidding. She just makes me work very hard! hahaha.

So basically this is our busiest time of year...why?....because stupid ME is in charge of our major fundraiser. Personalised calendars. I have to print out the bottoms, laminate the tops, then bind them all together. I'm talking 100+ calendars. This is my last year as secretary, I just am not enjoying it lately and it's my time to move on. And I haven't even made the calendar yet:(because I don't use a template I make it all by hand in Publisher. Make the grid, copy in the dates, copy in the holidays etc.....very time consuming.)

So bear with me, I will be back with a freebie ASAP. And hopefully one layout somewhere in between!!

Don't get me wrong I LOVE Leanne and she does a fantastic job being our president.


THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I TRY TO SCRUB THE FLOOR! 1 BUCKET OF WATER, 2 CHANGES OF CLOTHES & 2 WET KIDS LATER!

New layout tonight! Another old layout makeover.

Psycho Baby

What me?



Whoa where has my darling angel pie gone? Kaylee please come back, your psycho dopelganger is no longer welcome! Who would think this innocent looking princess could be such a demanding diva?

Seriously my Kaylee has suddenly changed from loveable tike to tasmanian devil. Monday she was her usual self then Tuesday, yesterday and today she has been a screaming mess. Unless I am holding her she is just crazy. Cries at the drop of a hat. It's is 6pm and she is in bed, I have totally had enough and put her to bed. Hopefully it's just because of the nw tooth coming through. I can't work at home any more because she stands at my leg and screams and claws at me to pick her up. And LOUD!!! Like a banshee, how can one little girl scream soooo loud?

Luckily she is a great sleeper and goes all night with out a peep. It takes 20 seconds to put her to bed, walk in lay her down tuck her in and that's it. Same with Deacon, our bedtime routine's for both kids are just in & out.

Oh well, tomorrow she has me to herself all day so here's hoping I can make her happy while daddy gets some sleep, luckily for him he doesn't have to work tomorrow night. It's one thing to have a screaming 16 month old in the house but another when a shift worker is trying to sleep through it.



On another note check out my new layout! Can you tell my Christina stuff came through! hahaha. I am totally in love with these flowers, so awesome. Christina wrote to tell me my order had cleared but little did she know that not only had I already downloaded it but had already done this page! hahaha. I had to do it quick while Kaylee was up at mum's house

I did some shopping and got some new clothes as well today, just tshirts for summer. No black, nice hot pink and a gorgeous emerald green. No more depressing black this season, it's happy bright & funky for me!

I've had a few comments about why I didn't apply for the CT call of Christina's. Easy answer, I didn't have any layouts using Christina's products to show off. I was all ready to go for it until I read the part about showing your favourite Christina layout. I felt it was fair on people who did use products, for me to apply without ever actually using any of Christina's products. Next time around I'll be there as I now finally have taken the plunge and bought some products which I am totally in love with already. I'm all for following the rules.

I also notice I haven't had any nasty anon comments about my piracy post either, they were pretty keen to say what they thought of me on The Digital Dish but not so confident to say it to my face (so to speak). Such a ridiculous thing to accuse me of piracy for admitting to downloading a free to air show, who am I ripping off exactly? And I am still downloading Survivor China but I am yet to actually watch it. Being accused of piracy has left me very mad still. I am so pissed off it's not funny. It's a free to air show! Get over it! How dare you say it's stealing? And that I am a pirate! arrrrr It is a free to air show, we don't get it here in Australia, I can't watch it on the CBS site because of region settings or some crap. What else can I do? (Ignore me I'm still so mad and having a major vent!!!)

New layout tonight. Mum & I at the Annual State Night Awards in 2005. Just after I reached my first goal weight. I was presented as the Queen of our club for losing the most weight for our club for the year. I had lost 13kilos at that stage. About 4 months before I got pregnant with Kaylee as well.

I used my Diamond Swirls freebie on both layouts so be sure to grab it.


My page for the FPD Think Pink Challenge.

I chose my Paternal Grandmother. She had a very hard life. A single mother of 2 children over 70 years ago, just imagine the stigma attached to that back then! And by 2 different men even. Sadly she had Alzeimer's and died in a nursing home. She had it for over 10 years before she was diagnosed, everyone thought she just went quiet. And because she lived with my Aunty she just seemed normal for so many years. No accidents or anything to make us realise. She ended up just being so quiet and frail. She really did it hard.

FORD 1, 2, 3!!

Yay FORD got 1, 2, 3 at Bathurst today!! Go Lowndesy!! Basically a wasted day today. First we went and registered Deacon at Little Athletics and then spent the day watching Bathurst at Col's. Deacon & Kaylee both had a great play day. Then home for a bath where Kaylee decided to hop in fully clothed! I wished I'd had my camera handy. This is the page I did last night. I always loved Juliet's page See The World so I scraplifted it when I found these free leaves last night.

Layout makeovers

BEFORE

AFTER

I loved this idea from the Funky Playground Blog I didn't completely overhaul mine, just fixed them up. I always liked my idea, but the execution just wasn't right. I am especially happy with Caramel Pudding. Slowly I will redo all of my cringe worthy layouts. Click on layouts for full credits.

Freebie

Wowee have we been lazy today. It's 3.30pm and the kids have just had their bath. Back into pyjamas. Deacon wanted to stay in his PJ's all day so why not. So of course Kaylee did too. But now they've had a bath and into clean PJ's, same thing but I couldn't stand dirty PJ's any longer. We've just watched movies and used the computer today, it's wet and windy outside so it's been a stay home day today. Lucky I have 2 clothes horses for my washing!
So far I've done a page for Kiki but I haven't uploaded into galleries yet, will do it later this week. It's a friends daughter from Playgroup. I just loved this photo of her, her eyes are just perfect. When I saw my Kiki 'KIWI GELATO' kit I thought of this photo with the diamond crown. I just bought the paper fold template too that I used on the page, so cool. I love it. Click layout for full credits.

And today I got Gina Cabrera's papers, 50 for $3! What a sale. Extreme Grunge Collection



I'm planning on making a new header too. More my style, pink, glittery & girlie. That's tonight's plan when the kids are in bed. It's taken me nearly all day just to do this post!

And I made these diamond swirls tonight so I'm posting them as freebies. Please leave a comment when you download HERE
Thanks, hope you enjoy. Can't wait to see one in a layout.
Finally...the last page page for today. Using Gina's grungy papers and my new tear template. DST has been down all night so no galleries until tomorrow.

New Layout for Bella Gypsy

Kaylee found a packet of blue sugar sprinkles and decided to tip the whole lot on the floor and sit quietly and eat them! It's true when they say that they are up to no good when they're quiet. Does she look innocent?
This page is for BellaGypsy (Tabatha Reed) who I am currently on the CT for.

I am now a CT member for Lindsay Jane Designs & Kiki Halbert. I have done my first layouts for them both today. I have other CT spots lined up but so far nothing has actually happened. Top Layout is for Kiki. Bottom Layout is for Lindsay Jane.

New page


Just a quickie before bed.

I took some excellent photos of the kiddies today. Loads of pages to do. How cute is Kaylee's dress? So gorgeous and her hair was so cute today, zigzag part down the middle, 2 little top knots and sparkly clips to boot!

This photo is so cute too, tomorrows page me thinks.

Digital Scrapbooking

My other obsession.................scrapbooking!
I felt so guilty that I hadn't even done one page for Kaylee, but I just didn't have the time.
Then a friend told me how to do digital scrapbooking.
I am totally hooked and will never ever touch paper, glue, tape etc again!!!
I started in June 2007 and have already done more pages in 2 months than I would have done in a whole year! I just love it and it is so easy and quick.
At first I sat up till 1am every night just doing one page but now am quick enough to do it in a couple of hours. I made a whole Album for my neice's 1st birthday and I am planning
on making one for my nephew's 1st birthday in September.
Also one each for Kaylee & Deacon (even though I have 6 full albums of real pages for Deacon:$)
My pages are Here
well just the ones I like anyway. At the start I would just copy & scrap lift the pages I loved but now just play around till it becomes a page. I love layouts by Juliet and she inspired most of my pages at the start, I just basically copied her pages they were so beautiful but now I am confident enough to just do my own designs. I love anything by Miss Mint at Peppermint Creative and recently entered the DNTS challenge at peppermint creative. Above is week 1 and below is week 2. The photo of deacon picking his nose was actually in the background of a photo I took of Kaylee on her 1st birthday. Classic!
