THURSDAY 28TH

Scrapping with Shelley and Justine today - took my new camera - but the batteries are flat oh well!
I completed 2 layouts and a third nearly finished!
I had a great day and am going to scrap tonight - feeling very inspired!

Today I am thankful for
My scrapping buddies Shelley and Justine
My girls who have been unbelievably well behaved this week!
My online buddies who always give me a laugh every day!!!

Tuesday - a quick post before I hit the sack

HI everyone
It is Tuesday and I am working at Create on Garden tomorrow - so if you are around, pop in and have a look at the new scrapping stuff we have in store!!
My scrapping day has now changed from Friday to Thursday with Shelley G Justine and Vic - we didn't get to scrap last week, and I am having withdrawals! lol
I am going to scrap some of the photos I have taken this week with my new camera!
I am loving it - it is so easy to use and the photos are so clear!
I am going to take it on Thursday to get a pic of our scrapping group (ssssh don't tell the girls) and if they agree, I will post a pic of us scrapping!
Today I am thankful for the rain again,
Thankful for Mia's paed. (who is a blessing - thanks KA)who reviewed her today (she is still underweight but we are working on it)and doesn't need to see her for 6 months. Mia has grown 3cm in the last 6 months and only put on 1k - so sustagen every day to put on weight for Miss MIa (if only I had that problem lol)When he examined her she had fluid on the ear that was perforated a little while ago - it just takes the gorgeous little lady a while to get over illness!
I am thankful for my baby friend Clem who is nearly crawling (he is 6months)
Night night
Hugs to all
PS: Tell someone you love them tomorrow - and mean it!!(it will make their day!)

CHALLENGE 5


Celebrate the Everyday

Everyday scrapbooking reflects our way of living - how we look at the world, our thoughts, our inspiration, our hopes and dreams. For some it is about documenting, telling and celebrating life, finding the joy in the simplest of things - a smile, the first cup of coffee in the morning, a dew glistened flower, a child's embrace.

Life is so busy and we seem to be so focussed on what we have to do and the things we haven't done. So for this challenge we want you to step back and open your lives to the small details of your everyday life. Live with attention and with your eyes and heart open. Time to let go of all the extra stuff that can bog us down

Criteria

Create a double page layout dedicated to documenting something that occurs in your household on a daily basis eg) A daily routine, a daily tradition, a fav time of day, something that has occured in your day today!

NEW CAMERA!!

Today, I had planned to scrap because it was going to rain all day - then this morning, my dh said as your camera has died, why don't we go into town and buy a new one for you so you can finish off your challenge that is due this weekend! Well I was so shocked that a) he had remembered I had my last challenge of the Scrapbook Shelf to do after 5 weeks, and b) he was buying a camera for me today!!

Of course, I rushed to get ready and off we went to Geelong and I am the proud owner of an Olympus digi 8 mp with a fabo zoom!! It is so small!
I am so excited thank you dear husband!

So today I am thankful for my supportive thoughtful husband
and the amount of rain we had today
and the phone call saying Shell was going to come and scrap with me on Sunday at my house! Whoo her daughter Maddi and my girls will have a ball and she and I will scrap!

wednesday 20th august 2008

I worked today at Create on Garden in Garden Street East Geelong, it was busy!
And I have one last challenge to finish for Scrapbook Shelf 5 week Slice of Life competition by Sunday and my camera has decided to give up on me!
Hope you are all well and happy!
Thanks for stopping by now and again!

Time for an update Sat 16th Aug

Ok (SHell) I have been a slack blogger of late, so I am here to update my blog!
I have managed 2 layouts this week, in between babysitting the lovely little Clem who is 6 mnths and helping out with the college mini olympics which was great!
The Prep - Year 2 grades along with their counterparts from Christian College Belmont competed! It was great for the Bellarine Christian College children to meet the others - and I heard lots of comments like "I am your penpal from the other school - I thought you would be really really tall!!!!!!
What a fabulous school my girls go to - the staff, teachers and the children are all lovely, caring, fun and respectful - we made the right choice!
I am thankful today for
- The beautiful rain and the gorgeous rainbow
- Good friends
- The safe arrival of my sister and brotherinlaw back home after 4 weeks in Qld

Things Children Say!

As we were driving to school this morning, Ella said "Mum (I always know that there is a difficult question coming up with Ella!) How do people know if they are allergic to objects they havent tasted yet like someone at school is allergic to nuts but she has never eaten one!
MMM Mum goes quiet - "Oh well I guess this is another question only God can answer for me"
