Becoming an aunty

What an exciting few days I have had..first Christmas , my kids had so much fun..my house is now fully loaded with lots of new toys and games for them to enjoy, and once that was over we headed towards the sunny coast to visit my mum, sister and then to Coolum to visit the rest of the family..but unfortunately my sis Cherie wasn't there as she went into labour 5 weeks early!!! so off to Nambour Hospital we went..they decided to keep her there and hold off as long as they could to bring this little one into the world, although she was in pain we all new it was the best thing for bubba, but after a day she had better ideas and in the wee hours of the morning we had a new tiny addition to the family...she has no name yet..but she was born at a tiny 2.2kilos and 44cm long, and she is soooo beautiful I fell in love instantly! It was the such a wonderful gift for Christmas...she will spend the next 2-5 weeks in hospital in the intensive care unit however the doctors have assured us she is very healthy, but needs a little more time to grow..I am now officially aunty

1,2,3 Challenge..Dear Santa...

Can you imagine Santa bringing a lolly making machine for christmas , well this is what they want!!! The list changes all the time , but it is just so cute..My kids are on Holidays now and it is awsome no more rushing around like a mad women trying to get organised in the Morning and Simon is off next week untill the 21st of January.how cool is that! He totally deserves it , we really have no plans but to just relax and do what ever we want , I really should book us in a Holiday next year but we love hanging out at home and doing day trips out on our boat and stuff. I've pretty much well done all my chrissy shopping now..Horray!! so all I have to do is clean up my house a bit and I'm done. This is my my favourite time of year the kids have swam all day in the pool and played lego, watched a movie and generally had a fun day, and I've scrapped a bit, but it really is cool cos their are no commitments to be anywhere! Gotta luv that.

Aussie Scrapjack LO for December!

This is the entry for the December, I had heaps of fun with this one, this is a pic of Kjirsten and myself being silly, it's such a great pic of us...I just used lots of different bits and pieces to create this, I love mixing products up it usually works best for me!

It sure moved fast!

I was so proud to see you show of your boat you and your Dad have been making over the past week, you need to design a boat, and then build it and then of course test it in the school pool! Once your Dad found out , he was quick to ask the question can it be motorised!! and of course the teacher said that was fine..so you guys spent hours building and teating it at home untill you came up with a boat that floated , had balance and power! Well done Zacyou had the fastest boat in the water, everyone loved it, and I loved seeing your little face light up as it speed across the water!

Angels are looking over me!

I couldn't be Happier , at this moment I feel as though all angels are looking over me! I recieved an email Today....with an acceptance letter for one of my LO's to be published in the For Keeps Magazine...In the past 3 months I have acceded my goals..I joined an awsome forum, was asked to join their team as a DT Member, had a few LO's accepted into the major Paper Companies Galleries, won a few comps...and now for the best news of all..a LO of mine will be published!!! Wowzers! I am feeling sooooo happy within my own personal ability to achieve in a passion I love , I've just gone out there and went for it..and to my surprise have been accepted into the world of internet scrapbooking with arms wide open.

So I want to take this opportunity to thank my friends who have helped me get to where I'm at today...firstly Kjirsten who has given me endless encouragement!! and all the love a friend could give, Secondly Diane Scrapbook savvy Lady Boss! who gave me the greatest opportunity to part of a great design team... and Julie who without her few tips and words of wisdom gave me the idea to submit all of what I had to offer to the magazines...

The LO that is getting published, was possibly one I never thought would, it's gone into the theme for heart felt journalling and it's how I feel about my Hubby DH, I showed this LO to me Mother in law only a few days ago and I said this is what I wanted to say at my wedding, but me being to shy..didn't and now it's being printed the whole world can read about it.. I also rember when I had first completed it and gave it to Simon to read and his eyes swelled up and the hint of a tear rolled down his face, at that moment I knew, I myself would always hold this LO close to my heart!

So here it is...

Proud to be accepted by Cosmo Cricket...

I submitted my LO 'Naughty or Nice to Cosmo Cricket, a couple of weeks back when it was first completed, and to my surprise I recieved an e-mail yesterday to say it would be sent to Julie Comstock...who has decided to add it to there Gallery under the Be Good pp range!!
