ho ho ho...

It's that time again!! 6 weeks till Christmas - we have 5 family birthdays between now and then!

Aussiedares..

thought I'd use this month's Aussie dare as a way to use up all Tilly's photos from her trip to Sydney..
The challenge was to use a CD or LP cover as inspiration..
I have used "LOVE ACTUALLY". easy-peasy!!!

I'm back!!

haven't thrown up for 5 WHOLE DAYS!!! I actually feel like scrapping again.. thank god - I was getting a bit depressed there for a while...

there is a light....

at the end of the morning sickness tunnel - I have not blogged for a month - barely getting through my workday - dinner bath. bed for the kids and collapsing into bed at 7,30... so what's with this whole BLOOMING thing??? Seems I kinda bypass that.. But it has eased - I now have traditional "morning" sickness.. only vomiting first thing - which is a HUGE improvement from the last 10 weeks - 16 weeks preggas now - so one would hope that it will end soon...

hmmm - STILL WAITING to hear from Scrapbooking Memories Masters - lucky really I have been so crook, or I would have been obsessing about it!!!

anyway - have got a little mojo back..

some layouts of my gorgeous boy..

Got my groove back!!

slowly..

starting to feel a bit better. Today is the first day in 9 weeks that I haven't thrown up - and that is while ON maxalon. So I am hoping that it is the beginning of the end - THANK GOD!!!

I actually did a LO today - my first in 8 weeks - I can feel my mojo coming back! I think these 2 weeks holiday were just what I needed..
off to get some batteries for my camera..

aussie dares

did this last week for the aussie dares "nature" challenge..
bit slow huh??

sick sick sick

too sick to blog or scrap or eat :barf:

now I remember why it took me 4 years between the first 2 kids..
vomiting all day all night.
v depressing....

hopefully only 4-6 weeks (!) more of this sickness!!

I don't think we're in Kansas anymore , Toto!!

DD dressed as Dorothy for book week at school -
and DS in his superman Pj.s so he didn't miss out!!!

No. 3

is coming apparently...
April 18th.
yep - with child, expecting, up the duff, bun in the oven.....
how exciting - there's going be a new baby the house!!!
well that changes a few things!!!

think pink...

OMG - a photo of me where I don't have my eyes closed or my mouth open - It only took 35 years to get a decent one!!!

Yo-yo surprise!!

One of Mums quilting friends has given me this HUGE bag of yo-yos!! They are all fab 70's colours..
I can't wait to use them on a layout!
I have been scrapping up a storm - some old photos, some new, some I have done before (I'm sure they'll find a home!!) This is my Dad on stage in the 70's.... I guess you could call it scrap - jumping - from one style an era to another. I don't plan it - it just sort of happens that way!!

who dares??

I have taken the latest challenge from the girls at the the Aussie who dares site - to design a lo using an ad as inspiration...
here is my effort.

Succulators

Succulents and Bromeliads...

I love 'em, they are breeding in my garden (especially after I have visited my Mum's and I have nicked a few!!)

Doing the Happy Dance!!

OMG!!! I got "THE CALL"... I am through to the shortlist of Scrapbooking Memories Masters!!
I am totally thrilled!!

If I get no further than this I will die a happy scrapper!!!

Most Happening Family.

that's right - that's the award...we won it!!
I'm too sexy for my socks!!!
We went to a 70s disco fundraiser at my daughters school - great fun - Elvis rocked of course!

I love Friday nights!!

Ooohh yeah - 2 days off, and my cleaner came today - so the house is spotless....
yayay - I think a weekend in the garden is called for..

I love this photo of the kids playing and cracking each other up - this game involved a lot of farting...
hmmnn..
funny though!!!

It's nearly springtime.

My favourite time in the garden, everything is starting to grow again...and it's not too hot to enjoy it!!! These are some of my favourite spots in my garden. When we moved here 2 years ago - there wasn't one single plant!!!
It's my 2nd love after scrapping! There just aren't enough hours in the day....

Another Jack of Jill

..Geraghty- Groves that is,,
New Scrapjack for August, for once I am one of the first in!
