Bring on Christmas..........
I LOVE Christmas.....every year i look forward to it so much, but never more than this year. Steven flies home christmas eve and though the days are flying past already, i wish they would go a little quicker. We really are missing him soooo much and him not being here has been extremely difficult for all of us. That saying ' You never really know what you had till its gone' is ringing very true in these ears thats for sure. Love ya Hun and missing you heaps!!
We got round to putting the chrissie tree up on Saturday, the kids love decorating it - lol they were trying to decorate it as i was putting it together, couldn't get Rylan into it though. He grasps the concept of taking the deco's off, just not how to put them on LOL, so the bottom of the tree is looking a little ragged already but oh well, is the season to be jolly as they say.
Have done some present shopping already - for the kiddo's of course - just need to take care of a few little extra gifts for family and to make up some cute thank you gifts for maddy and nick's teachers. Not too sure what to make up for them though, so hopefully i think of something soon.
Been keeping busy scrapping at nights. Got a couple of layouts to share with you. First one is for this fortnights product feature at Embellished - was to use the Gin X range with a Birthday theme ....... and as always the Design Team excelled. Check out the layouts here:
The second layout was for the latest Elsie challenge at Embellished, it was to make you own Patterned paper and this was my example for the challenge. Used a MM flower foam stamp (the circles) to stamp with Aqua paint over the strip of white cardstock, then just used an orange pen to doodle around some of the circles. Pic is of our melbourne meetup at Paperific - from left to right : Mel, Michelle, Lorrie and myself. Awesome day, Awesome ladies!!
Last layout is just one for me - havin a play with the new MME Bohemia papers - LOVE THEM!!
Maddy has her first school play on tonight - want to take the video camera so i can capture it all for her dad but will mean that i won't get any pix though......hmmmm tough decision......I know i could take both, but will have the boys with me and don't really want to be keeping tabs on them as well as both cameras....so gonna have to decide on one of them. Will see where my loyalties lay when i'm walking out the door i guess lol.
Well thats all for now, thanks for dropping by ladies and will chat again soon
take care..............
