Escape 2 Create Scrapathon 2012


It was so fantastic to get my scrap groove on again. I really do still love to scrap and have mountains of photos to get through, so can't see that I'll ever stop. A friend of a friend, and now she's my friend too Liz came,  and my sister-in-law Anele came too. They had never been before and for particularly Anele, she learnt alot as she is still quite a new scrapper. We had a seriously good time... Lots of talking, a little bit of drinking and of course eating too! The Escape 2 Create girls make it so wonderful for us to escape our daily grinds and come and get creative and invigorated. 
The date for the 2013 retreat has been released and I just cannot wait for the registrations to come and go so that I will know wether I am in, then I can sit back and relax. I'm so glad the girls don't release the date and then make us wait for months to register. I think I would go mad waiting to know if I got in!! 
Anyway, I dribble.... 


My first LO and possibly my favourite, she's come a long way this girl. I would never want to wish a sick child upon anyone, but she has changed me. I am still that impatient Mum, have a yell here and there, but on the whole, I think it has made me a better person... She's our miracle.. (so is Mia, because to fall pregnant in the first place, tell everyone at 5 weeks, have an uneventful pregnancy, and have a healthy child is also a miracle, you just don't realise how much of a miracle a truly healthy kid is until you know how many things can and do go wrong)


Bright, fun, I love photos and memories of Summer!! 


Lexi and Ethan. Sometimes but not always these two together = madness!! 



Lexi's 3rd birthday. She ran around topless with a little pink tutu on... And had an absolute ball!! 


The big one that didn't get away!! 



I love this one too. Do love me a little bit of washi tape! 



Daddy and his little girl... 



For Mia's birthday her Dad went to work in Roxby in the morning for a few hours, hopped in the work car, drove it here, walked in and surprised the hell out of us all, then hopeed back in and drove back at 7:30am the next day.. It made Mia feel so happy! 



Making muddy soup in the backyard!! 



Asleep on my lap, a rare thing these days... Love her peacefulness...



At the beach...


I love this LO too. Some words of wisom for Mia... 


And that's about it for now. x
