Birds and Butterflies, I don't think so..how about flies! This months challenge over at http://inkurablestampers.blogspot.com/ theme was "Wings" so I decided to use a fly stamp, that was begging for some use....
Here is my take on the challenge, a Happy Halloween Card!

123 challenge April

So here is my take on the 123 challenge for April, these pics are from Elly and I at Ice skating, I tell you it was soo funny it might sound mean but taking your kids ice skating for the first time is something else, I couldn't stop laughing, they looked liked rappers on ice especially Zac, but we had soo much fun! A great family day out!

The challenge was

1.Use a hand made embellishment- top right paper clip, made by Melinda Taylor in a swapp

2. Use a household item, I used a dish sponge ( clean of course, lol)

3.Use the word Showers or April, well showers was my word of choice, please I was showered in laughter!!bottom right..

Here is my LO.....

Little creatures

When the kids arrived home yesterday after going to the park , Kye came in all excited with a box and said " look what I've got mum" , I looked and thought Ohh, what could this be, and when he opened it up I found snails, and all I could think was o.k I can deal with this , at least they aren't messy, so we set up a little habitat and as far as we know they eat lettuce and mushrooms, they are actually quite cute! So I couldn't help but take a few snap shots...

And we havn't got around to naming them all yet!

Last Friday..

So, I've decided to add this to my blog, last week on Friday, I decided to back to JC to get back on track with my weight issue, and I was shocked to see that I had gone from my goal weight at 50kg to 58.05, so I've managed to gain 8kg over a period of time..so this is it time to get my but into gear and nuckle down for real, so I'll go back each Friday and weigh myself and nothing in between..I've added a list in the side bar to keep me honest as the weeks count down...wish me luck!

As for this afternoon I posted the 6th challenge for the BOM at Scrapbook Savvy, this is a LO about, or a tribute LO on a grandparent..here is mine....

Back at school..

The kids are back at school, and it was a bit of a rush getting back into the swing of things this morning..but we did it, lunches packed, uniforms on and off to school..which gave me the chance to finish this LO I've had sitting on my desk for the last few days, while Elly watched a bit of playschool, this is an old pic, but a favourite..

Now off to do loads of washing that I nned to catch up on and get down to the post office and post a LO to SM, before it gets to late!!

CC at Scrapbook Savvy!

I had a great weekend, we had our second cyber crop at Scrapbook Savvy and it was fun chatting and joining in on a few games, Bingo was a roar and Sarah managed to trick us all again by calling an early Bingo! a bit dissapointed I didn't get all the challenges done but this is the last weekend of the school holidays so it was a busy time getting organised for the week ahead and getting my house back into some sort of decent order! I did get number 2 finished so here it is:

It was a great challenge, I used the rich colours that remind me of Autumn, we seem to get loads of leaves all over the place at this time of year, it probably has something to do with the tree's in our front yard! anyway this is elly taking her anger out on some of them!

Elly and I also made an effort to make a mother Day Card over the weekend, which she really enjoyed for the "Scrap outside the page" Blog, you needed to make a shapped card so we made a hat and stuck some feathers in it!

On Holidays!!

On Holidays...is so much fun, I can sleep in a bit without rushing around like a mad women trying to get all my kids organised for the day ahead...which means I can also have afew later nights without stressing about the next day!

So I have compleated a few LO's that I want to share!

This is such a fantastic way to keep in touch these days, my kids can ring all over the place to keep in touch with the family, without it costing a fortune!!!

this LO of my Daughter riding in the rain...reaching up to touch a leaf as she passes by..simple beauty

Another of Elly, not so happy with those famous last words "But why"

This one of her hangin upside down like a monkey!

And using some of the Cosmo Cricket " Get Happy papers" of Zac having a moment on the field!
