Andrew's Adventures

My poor boy...

A recent trip to the shops resulted in Andrew slipping and banging his head on the edge of one of those rides that are there to treat children and torment parents. This resulted in a visit by an ambulance and a trip (in the car) to the hospital where his forehead was 'glued' back together and bandaged up.

He was so brave and other than the initial couple of minutes he hasn't complained at all. Thankfully it was a clean cut that could be glued so no needles or stitches were needed.

I have to comment on the kindness of strangers. There were about 4 women who just took over the situation and looked after us all. They were wonderful and I have no way to thank them other than to remember their kindness and pass it on when I am needed some time down the track.

I have had a great scrapping weekend, spending both Friday night and Saturday morning at the Scrapbook Lady cropping away happily with Debbie. I have 4, almost complete, pages to share soon.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DI AND FIONA!!!!

Hope the world is treating you well.

Scrap Ya Later.

Bubs, Mags and Loooooooong Weekends!!

First of all, Welcome to the World little Harvey Lawrence!!! Congratulations Sarah and Tony and we look forward to meeting your new bundle of joy!!

It has finally arrived!

I was very excited to get a letter a couple of weeks ago telling me that this layout would be on the cover of Scrapbooking Memories. I knew it was in the running but it had been a while since I had heard anything so I presumed nothing had come of it.

Anyway this is my gorgeous Andrew (on the right) and his buddy and cousin Aden. The Basic Grey Fruitcake papers were perfect for this layout and lots of fun to play with.

I was also lucky enough to have two other layouts published in this issue as well.

We have just enjoyed an extended long weekend away. It was wonderful being out in the fresh air and sunshine. This was the first time we had camped in the tent since the kids had been born. It was great fun, although hard work keeping track of the kids. Thankfully the caravan park is set up well for the kids and there was pleanty of activities and bigger cousins to keep them entertained.

Withing minutes of arriving the kids were filthy from head to toe and pretty much remained that way for the rest of the time we were there. Dirt is fun!!!

We also tried out mini golf...I think we will wait until they are a bit older to try that again. By the end of it I felt like joining Ali in her little nap...

One other activity we tried was fishing. Andrew was sooooooo excited about giving it a try and asked at least 10 times a day. Finally on the last day off we went to the jetty. We didn't hold out much hope and were proved right but he enjoyed it anyway.

After the non event fishing trip Mark decided to take Andrew to the local Trout Farm today. SUCCESS! Andrew caught 3 trout and 1 salmon. We all enjoyed the trout for dinner tonight. Yummo!

And the best thing about the Trout Farm is that they scale and clean the fish for you!!!!!

On the scrapping front...

*Finished a layout for a SM product challenge.

*Accepted another SM product challenge.

*Have a gorgeous collection of 3 Bugs - Seeing Stars - range from Leisa at Scrapsidaisy to work with. Looking forward to some great boy layouts!!

&Hoping to crop this Friday night.

That's it from me for now.

Hope all is well in your part of the world.

Scrap Ya Later!

Mmmmmmmmmm

I want to update but Mr Australia Post isn't complying at the moment.

I did get something else in the mail this week. These are my tiles from Tammy's Tile Swap. Thank you girls. They are going to look great. I am going to use them in a square frame with a family Christmas photo in the middle. My theme, in case you haven't figured it out was a Christmas theme of Red, Green & Gold.




A big THANK YOU to Tammy for organising this.

Have missed out on quite a few weeks of my weekely scrapping. Missing it like mad but hope to settle down and get back to it after this weekend.

I have a product challenge for SM to do this weekend. I've got some great photos to work with.

I have been so lucky getting lots of sleep ins and afternoon naps. DH is the best!!!! I have really needed them. I had a scan last week and everything is going well. Bubs had the hiccups. It was so funny watching him/her jumping around in there. It's amazing to be able to see that on the ultrasound.

That's it for me for now. Hopefully there will be more news very soon.

Have a great weekend. For those in VIC have a great long weekend.
