A couple of things. Amy turned two on wednesday. She is growing up so fast. We bought her a scooter as she is always trying to keep up with the older kids. She can’t work it, so we just push her along. I think the elbow and knee pads make her happier than the scooter ride.

And some newsletter layouts for The Scrapbook Establishment. This week I got to use Pink Paislee Mistletoe & Co. Yummy vintage Christmas papers.

While I am at it, I just thought I would say “hello” to all the people at work who have happened to stumble across my blog. How embarrassing. LOL! :D

A layout share. This one is in this week’s newsletter from The Scrapbook Establishment. I used the Little Yellow Bicycle’s Zinnia range.

Well, the school holidays are almost at a close. This holidays have been fantastic! We have done heaps of stuff. Usually we are either sick or it rains or it is summer (ugh!).

October

These school holidays we:

  • had a lazy pyjama day where we painted, played potato heads and lego. We showered to get back in our pyjamas.
  • played indoor mini golf where I got no good photos. Next time I think we will go outdoors.
  • went to the movies and saw Up.
  • bought the patterns for Halloween costumes!
  • bought a camper trailer! We then have been shopping lots for stuff to go with it. We are really looking forward to our first camping experience! :)
  • went to Nurragingy and fed the ducks and played in the grounds. Luke, of course, almost fell in the water.
  • went to the circus and had a fantastic time. It was pretty awesome! :)
  • scrapbooked the above layout.
  • got a Scrapbooking Memories Master’s email to say I had been shortlisted.
  • went to a playdate with 5 other kids from Luke’s class.

After not being able to leave the house last holidays thanks to Luke’s chicken pox, I think we made up for it in the fun department these holidays. Only 9 weeks in term 4 and then holidays again! Yay! I love school holidays!!! :)

I came across this photo of myself and my sister, Fliss. And gosh darn it, if Amy isn’t the spit out of my mouth.

Excuse Amy’s dirty face! :P Now, back to looking for that baby photo of me for the upcoming CC at TSE.

I don’t really have much to say today, just a bit of a share. Here are some newsletter layouts for TSE:

HelpingHands

I got to work with Scrap Within Reach’s Industrial Park range. Really masculine and grungy. Really fun just to let go and have fun.

Also, I have only about 10 pages to go until I finish reading this:

Book

Amy has learnt that she can shimmy up the slide and then lie down and go back down. She loves it.

And while I type, Steve just called out to me to tell me that Amy can roll her tongue. I always thought she could, every now and then it looked like she was about to, but now, she has. Very cool!!! :D

Well, I have had a bit of a life/scrapping/blogging hiatus. It’s been nice.

I went into the city with my uncle to take some photos. This is my favourite photo from the night. You wouldn’t believe that 3 boats went past either. Lucky my uncle knows a couple of tricks. ;)

1

Luke was cast as a cow in his class’ item for assembly. I made him this cow costume. Although the kids were picking on me at one stage saying it was a monkey suit because the tail was quite long.

2

And then on to Father’s Day. Steve got quite spoiled this year. Nothing he doesn’t deserve. We decided to go to Brighton-Le-Sands for a frolic on the beach, no swimming though as it is still too cold!

3

And what day at the beach would be complete without some fish and chips?

4

Well, that’s about it from me today, I am off to finish some layouts and Amy will wake up soon. I will be back in a couple of days with some layouts. :)

MIA. Nah. Just slack. I have had no motivation to do anything. Especially scrapbook. So, nothing to share on this post. Except for a new baby. My niece arrived yesterday surprising us all as Fliss, my sister, was booked in for her caesar today.

Here is Erica Nicole:

She was born at 9.27am, weighing 3260g, 50cm long with HC of 33.5cms.

I don’t get very many good photos of Amy, because, well, she moves… alot. And she is fast and wont sit still and most of the time she ignores me too. Especially when I am saying ‘where’s mummy?’ so she will look at the camera. Anyway. I DID manage a decent photo of her today, decent by my standards anyway! LOL! Would you believe she is already 20 months old? Me either. She is growing into a vivacious toddler. But she is still such a baby in so many ways. Which is good because I am having a hard time letting go of the baby stage.

Amy

And the other day, it was dewey and I saw a cute little spiderweb that I thought I could muck around with some aperature settings on my camera. This one was my favourite photo that I took.

Spider

Okies, well, I am off to push some paper around while Amy is asleep.

I took this photo of the cat. I think he looks a little evil. But I still like the photo, just the same.
