While they Sleep

What a fantastic day yesterday. The kids were full on. We started with a 9.00 am costume call for eisteddfod groups. (finished around 10.45). Off to the grocery store, followed by lunch and a play in the park. Home for awhile. (I managed to even get some of the trims on costumes!!). The shower and change and off to Harrup Park Country Club for dinner with the family to celebrate their birthday. Usually I make a cake based on some theme, however we've been a little hectic so I organised a Swiss Chocolate cake from Pavlova Shoppe. The twins had no idea and when it came out with sparklers firing they were very surprised. We then went downtown for coffee; kids ordered cake, so the great ladies at Cafe La De Da put a candle on it for them.

They now are sleeping peacefully....hopefully refreshing themselves in the process. Dana and I are off to a concert this afternoon. There goes another weekend. Hope yours' is as great.
Til Later....................

Avery Special Day

8 years ago today, I was lying in the delivery room at the Mater Hospital, holding a beautiful baby girl and watching as the doctors attended to her brother who required oxygen to help him breath. Our beautiful twins were born (although a little early.) My son just wanted to be born and he has been on the go ever since. How those years have flown......I don't feel older just a lot wiser and more worldly.

They are the inspiration for my scrapping.....along with my family history....and now they also scrap along side me. Whilst we are always busy...dancing, athletics, school etc we always seem to be able to have a chat and they never are afraid about telling us things...even if it is bad!!

Friday Frenzy last night, only achieved 3 los but 3 is better than none. Busy weekend, costume call and birthday celebrations today, concert tomorrow. Have a great one!!!

Tuesday again

I don't know if it is my age or the fact that we try to fit it sooo much in our lives but Tuesday is here again. Busy day today; hopefully I get everything done. I really should not be blogging but folding last night's washing, but hey "A girl's got to have some fun!!".
Have to help with athletics trophies today, our presentation day is 20th so really need to get them ordered. Also doing farm books, shopping for kids' birthday (13) as well as all those other things that don't get done when you're at work.

Hope you all have a great day...

Quickest ever

I started this lo at 6.30p.m. and am now including it on my blog. It is probably the fastest lo I've ever done and I am soooooo happy with it!!! I bought the supplies from Ruby St Designs who specialise in oldworld goodies. The photo is of my grandparents wedding and although I have scrapped it before I couldn't resist doing it again so I could use these beautiful antique things. The flowers are satin and really beautiful and the little seed pearls in the hat veil behind the photo are to die for (still have some of these left for another project!!) Hope you all have a great weekend and that all the dads have a great day tomorrow.

Not so nice photos

Don't you always seem to scrap great photos of happy children, I know i do, however a couple of weeks ago my dd cracked a spack, mainly because we were late home from dancing and she was really tired, I just couldn't resist I had to take photos. We've dubbed her the tantrumator and the pages came out really well even if the subject is a little less than perfect.

I have shown close ups as well as the paper has background designs which made it really suitable for doodling...not one of my fortes but I did enjoy doing is on this lo.

New Goodies

Just received today not 1 but 2 packages containing beautiful scrapbooking items. The first was from Ruby St Designs...link is on my blog. The gear from here is from yesteryear. Beautiful, girly and definitely on my top list for heritage or special pages.
The second was from Scrapbooking Premier, also on my blog. This is a new online shop and whilst not everything has been downloaded, Sandra has really great stuff at wonderful prices. The new Vintage Moon collection is fantastic and I can't wait to use it either. (What a worry as father's day is on Sunday and I won't get much done). Hope you all have had a great day, as I certainly have!!

Finally finished

I have been working on this teacher present for over 2 weeks and finally today got it finished. It is a clock and hanging frames. As it is for the kids teacher I did not feel I could put photos in it but have left it so the middle hanger can have a photo mounted if she wishes. The images are close ups as it is really hard to photograph something that is 2 feet long. Hope you all had a great weekend....Rhonda
