Here's something...

A layout I did 'recently' lol!

I was working on this months ago and finished it even longer ago! But I just love the pic - it's Kyle at 2 and way too cute! Mum enlarged a pic I took from my film camera & it came out so perfect. The lo idea I got from For Keeps mag and did the layout back to front - I mean I created the lo then added the pic afterwards - normaly I choose the papers from the pic but I was away from home, got pp's, ribbon and had to create lol!

This is another older layout I've done. Used some Rusty Pickle chipboard letters, inked and stamped plus tag is from a swap. Also used a new buckle punch - I love that punch! Again, this is one layout I did and then added the pics - first time I had ever done that! So 2 times in a row = I just HAD to create LOL! Mum took these pics with a digicam and I love em - there were loads of pics taken that day - and these just 2 of the favs.

I actually thought I'd posted these before but I looked through and I haven't.

Took the boys up to Caloundra yesterday avo for some fun and frolic in the sand and water - was windy and cold when you got out of the water but the water was magic and watching them run around priceless - I didn't take my camera cause of the wind - it was impossible, and I don't fancy getting too much sand in it anyway so on a nicer day, next time I will take it. I needed to get away from the house and Brisbane and it was a great avo.

Have a great week everyone!

Wahoo! I'm scrappin again!

And not only that, I cleaned up my scrap room over the last week - and let me tell you - it nearly took all week with everything else! But I've been having fun, I haven't done any lo's but lots of btp things which is what I love. I realised how much I've collected over the past so many months which is scary!
Diet update - yep I'm still doing it, though the easier option and it's not happening much better, but I am still losing some much needed grams, lol! eek - exercise is a much better option just hardly do-able with kids. So hard this diet thing!
Boys - haha! so much has happened with my boys lately! I picked them up on Tues avo after a week-end at their dad's place. Joel has this big bandage above his eye and a black eye to boot - OH MY GOD?!!! What happened Joel, I fell down the stairs he says and the daycare staff tell me what happened briefly anyway. I pick Kyle up - he has this huge bruise on HIS head! He got whacked by Joel by something big lol! His words! Finally a call from their father telling what has happened. Joel went to hospital which he had said & had his head glued as they don't stitch anymore. I haven't taken a pic yet but will do tomorrow. Poor kid - has too much of his mum in him = clumsy! lol.
So we are always in a rush in the avo's - this avo - no exception, racing down the road Joel (thankfully) has his hand in mine, trips over nothing on the footpath (as ya do) and says "I didn't hurt my knee!" champion my boy! Had me in hysterics all the way up the hill! Funny kid!
Kyle got a reward at school this week for his sentence construction which I'm very proud of as his speech and reading skills aren't that good but he can write really well. And he's been very helpful around the house. I heard an upsetting thing on the radio though this week -that boys from age birth - 7 their mum's are their heroes, then from 7-14 it's their dad's then after that good luck! Rofl, but not so funny since my number 1 gorgeous boy is about to turn 7! arghhh
A lot has happened since my last post but I can say one thing - if anything further develops between my special man the world will be the first to know! At the moment, we are just very happy the way things are:)
I have some more funny stories to tell from this week - has been a huge week, and I will share as soon as I can! Plus some of the scrappin projects I've done with some decent pics I hope!
Have a great weekend :)

Hello!

Just an update on life really! I got a NEW CAR!!! WAHOO! 14th Feb (yep, special date) I got the phone call, go check out this car so organised with work to get in late and work back to keep my hours up and went collected my newest car I've ever owned. Mitsubishi Lancer vrx - goes like a dream and after the service and new fan for air con it's even better! I've since had a new stereo system put in too which sounds UNREAL!!! Car was made in July 2000 (Kyle's birthmonth) and the rego is due in Joel's birthmonth!!!! I'm sure I was meant to have this exact one lol! I'll get some piccies soon. I cleaned the inside but it needs doing again already (kids are great for makin mess hey!) but haven't washed it due to the restrictions on water.

So got to scrap with Peta on Saturday night - what fun and mess we had/made!!! Sorry I coundn't last the distance - I'm feeling much better today and yesterday even went well.
We went up to mum & dad's new block where they're about to build their 'retirement' house and then to my grandma's took the car for a good spin :) hehe. I still haven't had enough of driving yet! I really did think 2 trips to Cairns & back would fix my driving drive but nah...I just love it! And driving a speedy little beast is awesome!
Anyway, I started a diet on Thursday and it's been difficult, hence the reason I didn't last too late on Sat night but I think finally my body is adjusting and hopefully I'll start SEEING some results soon. I went to get more vegies mostly today and the fruitman even said why do you need to loose weight - I told him it's for me, I need to loose it for me. Only a couple of kilo's but I have to do something drastic and I've been so strong I've even surprised myself! I've NEVER EVER been on a diet before so it's all new to me and cripes how HARD is it! I can't wait till I get back to my goal weight and just exercise to keep it off - much easier!
So Peta and I had a blast making ATC's and I'll be scrappin again tomorrow or Wed night depends which night I don't get my special visitor ;o) Cause the only way I'm gunna get to scrap is to make the time so that's it from now on - one weeknight at least and one day when the boys are home on the weekend if I can! I get so busy with them and enjoy it. They enjoyed the trip yesterday. I feel Joel is about to become a ferocious 4yo - he's starting with pouting & all that so I'm trying to kerb it as much as possible - it's hard though cause he's still so cute at it! And I know he doesn't get the same discipline with his father.
Kyle's doing much better at school & has a new bigger desk at home with more draws which he's loved setting up (I can see he has his mum's love of re-arranging & sorting crap!!!) lol!!! He throws out nothing! I need to get him out of that hoarding habit real quick - one hoarder is enough in any household - too much in fact!
Okay must get to bed.
Peta - I'll see you before the weeks out but don't you worry about a SINGLE THING on FRIDAY - it's your's and Trav's day and it'll be AWESOME!!! ENJOY & RELAX xoxo
