It's Friday AGAIN!!!!!!

Well, the week went pretty quick around these parts... how about you? Mia and I decorated a gingerbread house that I bought in IKEA (fave place) last year! I just ran out of time when I went to the hometown at Christmas time to decorate it so here we are nearly March and we finally did it today! It makes me laugh that I buy things like this as I am so crappy at decorating but through Mia's eyes it's fantastic! She loved sticking the lollies on, and eating them so it was well worth it!
The pool guy came yesterday afty and bought a template of our pool and pegged out where it is going to go, in this time in two weeks it should be a reality.... for me I will believe it when I see it actually in the ground.... We won't get much of a swim in it this season but that will give us all winter to get it exactly how we want the backyard.... fence firstup, paving, shade sails, plants in pots, and maybe some bamboo fencing attatched to the fence that is already there... and I really would like a few Buddha statues there too, I want it to be a tranquil place!I think maybe the fence will be the first thing for a while, that is pricey enough but a must!!!
Another LO! This one is for Blind Scrapping at Scrap Therapy! DH thought I was mad, I was madly writing down instructions last night at my comp so I could go to my scrap table and get started and he spun me out by saying that I should have my scrapping near my computer!! It would be great but I have already taken over the loungeroom with scrap gear, there is just no room for my computer too!!!! Nice thought though babe!! ANYWAY... the Lo is ok, night have to ink around the edge, it just doesn't look finished to me....
This is my paper bag album that I have been doing for months... Just painted the bags, punched holes, attatched it together and did a tiny bit of decorating. I just really wanted somewhere to put Mia's artwork from Childcare and Playgroup from last year. I made it so that I could slip her artwork in the bags... I had to grab a dogclip to hold it closed otherwise all that precious scribble an paint on paper would fall out everywhere!

So if you pop in to have a look at my blog this weekend, leave me a message so I can go and check your blog out! Witchy has tagged me (which I will do tommorow) so if you leave me a message I just might tag you too!
Quiet weekend around here, DH is working all weekend, off to my friends house tonight for tea, she's cooking me and another friend Risotto, which will be YUMMO as she is a fab cook. (and there will be a couple of wines consumed too!) She's the type of person who if she wants to make Muffins, just chucks the ingredients in, doesn't use a recipe and they turn out perfectly. If I tried to do that they would be like rocks...... Takin the Gingerbread house around there for our kids to demolish... they will love it! DH is going to the local Community Club for drinks to farewell a couple of workmates who are moving to another company! I told him to try and rememeber that he has work tommorrow, when they all get together, it can get a bit lively!!
Thanks for reading this ridiculously long post!!! Have a great weekend!!

This one is for Embellished In Your Skin, week 3... It looks not much like I thought it would before I started, I was going to have swirls coming out of my ears with all the Artists written along the swirls.... unfortunately I am not so good at decent swirls! And for the record, these are just some of the artists on my i-pod, I have my 60g i-pod half full with tunes! I love it! Music is for sure a big part of my life.....

LO for a photo swap at SM forum! Don't mind it..... Hope Michelle likes what i have done with her pic!!!
A LO for my Dad, it's his birthday tommorow, it won't make it to him on time, but I hope he likes it! He and Mia have a special bond, they just love each other to bits! I was close with my Dad when I was little, we still are although it's different now that I'm an adult! But they make my heart melt when they are together... Dad has so much patience and has been the best Dad anyone could ever want!!!


Self portraits yesterday, no makeup just me as I am, with a little help from picasa of course... I'm thinking of getting my hair chopped, I'm a bit over it, but it would be a major change, that could be a good thing!

IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE!!!

Oh and I took some photos of my friends little bubba last week. What do you think? I am a little sad as yet another month has gone by and I'm not pregnant but there are babies or pregnancies all around me, IRL and amongst my on-line friends.... It is a bit hard. I guess I just took it for granted how easily I got pregnant with Mia and the other baby that I lost. Anyway this beautiful little girl was a dream to cuddle and made me feel special as I held her. And I love her Mum for just letting me hold her too, as a first time Mum she is just giving in letting other people hold her little angel. I remember when I had Mia I was not sure I wanted her passed around, it was silly in hindsight but probably normal!

Latest LO for 'In your Skin' at Embellished. Don't love it, was quite stumped! I want to use paint more on my LO's but it always seems to 'buckle', anyone got any hints for me???
Entries for my 2008 journal, waited for weeks to get my photos from Snapfish, I was a bit disapointed in how long they took. At least I have them now and can get more scrapping done. I really need to take more self portraits to scrap myslef a bit more!


Mia and her friend Sebasti, they chalked EVERYTHING in the bakcyard Fri afty, including themselves, but it all washed off in the bath and they had fun!
Thanks for popping in and leave me a message if you can help me out with the paint dilemma!
