Above is a CJ entry for RIH2002's swap on the forum... I did it this morning and I quite like it! I have had it for ages so it was time I hopped to it!!
And here is Mia with TOM just before... He used to be mine back in the day, except his name was Bradley way back then! xxx

So here is last nights finished CJ entry for Max... Took me ages and it really is a simple one but I kinda like it!!
And another LO I banged out last night.... It is a total scraplift of Belinda's LO in the latest SC on page 111. Different colours of course and a few different things but I have to give credit where credit is due!! Thanks Belinda, I loved your LO!! xxxxxxx

Don't fall off your chair! I HAVE BEEN SCRAPPING! The one above is simple as but it was my first one for me in ages.... It was taken the night I got back from having my operation in Pt Augusta after losing the baby last year... I just love this photo of Mia and I, she just reminded me what was good in my life!! And she was sooooo happy to see me!!!
The cover of my Pregnancy Journal! Yep, simple but we all know the reasoning behind the simpleness!!
A little letter to the bubba, it just bubbled out of me.
The 12 week page...... I have HEAPS of this Basic Grey PP so that will be getting used up! Does anyone know where I can get more of the letters.... I know it is an old collection but maybe someone out there can help me!!! I'm such a copy cat too, am studying Anthea Pearson's journal intently, thanks Melis for her name, I'm shocking with names!!!!!
And GOLF BALL PAINTING!!!! Such an easy way to let the kids paint if you really don't want a huge mess... then you can put the paper away for cute wrapping paper for the relatives who will love it because your child made it!! ANd below is the finished collection! I hung them on the clothes horse, as i was sick of going out to the clothes line every 2 minutes!! And I have been scrapping tonight too! Finally finished Max's CJ, I am glad I took my time, but as soon as I've taken photos it is going EXPRESS POST out of here!! And I also did a 12 x 12 tonight! I have scraplifted a page from Belinda V out of the latest Scrapbook Creations! Hope you don't mind Bel but my mojo is still wandering!!! I will put them up tommorow!!

Well, here I am at just about 12 weeks, I almost flipped when I saw this photo that my friend took of me.... Oh well, in all honesty, I have a baby in my tum and if it's healthy and all is going to plan, well, that's all I'm going to worry about!! I can't wait for it to start kicking me....That to me is the fun part!!

Yesterday the power went off just after we woke up, and it was really cold (bbbrrrrrrr) so I just stayed in bed... I read Mia stories, and we both read our books in bed, well Mia looked at pictures, but it was a really cute little bit of my day!


I have been scrapping, I have one 12x12, and started my pregnancy journal, which is VERY SIMPLE, but for me I figured that if I am going to add to it every week, I need it to be simple so that I don't overwhelm myself, IYKWIM????
And I'm STILL working on a CJ for Simmi's swap, I have it all there, pp's and embellies, I just need to sit down and put it together... I will slap myself if I don't finish it today or tonight!! I don't want to be the flaker, but it has been awhile with no mojo, although I can feel it returning!!
Thanks for popping in, hope you are having a fabulous day so far!!

This is just hilarious!! Well, to me anyway! DH is still home today on holidays, and we were having a conversation.... It all goes like this

Me: Do you want to find out what we are having? I do.
DH: Not really.
Me: Well, if we find out what we are having it will give you some time to get over it if it's not a boy.
Or will you be ok if it's a girl?
DH: Yeah, I won't mind if it's a girl.
Me: Yeah, as longs as it's healthy, right?
DH: Right.
Mia: What are you talking about?
Me: Well we are talking about the baby and whether it will be a boy or a girl. Dad would like a boy.
Mia: Well, I want a girl.
Me: Well, what if it's a boy?
Mia: I know Dad, we could have TWINS.
Me & DH: crack up laughing.
Mia: Why are you laughing?
Me: Do you mean twins, one boy and one girl?
Mia: Yes.
Me: Well, we will just have to wait and see what we have!



Although, I do really want to find out, it's just the nosey parker in me!
Did any of you find out what you were having? Let me know! xxxxxxxx

Hi, long time no blog!! Well, we have been away, forgive me for the long post with heaps of photos, but I do look back at my blog here and there and like to see what I have written before, so it's as much for me IYKWIM?? We left here Sat fortnight ago and spent a night in Adelaide, two nights in Mt Gambier, one night at Apollo Bay, one night in Melbourne, four nights at Merricks beach on the Mornington, one at Ballarat, one in Adelaide then back home again! So we have been around!
Not very happy that my camera has a bit of dust or fluff in it, you will be able to see it on some of my photos.... Cleaned out my camera as best I could but to no avail! ANYWAY! We had a great time!

Above: Mia at Valley Lake playground in Mt Gambier (we went to sooooooo many playgrounds on out trip, Mia loved it)
