My Masters Entry

I finally got my mag today. I am sure I was the last one on the East Coast. After flicking through page by page I was happy to find my two projects.

The first was my single layout. This layout was actualy created without the Masters in mind. In fact it may have even been done before the requirements came out. I love that it's just a layout I had done for my own albums. It's the first time I have ever used flowers on a layout for Andrew but it is a Mother's Day layout so Mark can't tell me off!! LOL!

I think they must have had a yellow filter on the camera when they took the photo for the mag. It looks AWFUL in there. This is the pic I took...

In the magazine the large flowers are bright orange, just to give you an idea of how WRONG the colours are. LOL!!

The other HM was for my storage item. I love this. It's really simple but the main thing is that I actually use it. I've had to change the names for the sections around though because I had to add Ben of course!!

AND one of the Masters made one of these for her storage item too so it must have been a good idea!

My double layout was lots of fun. I loved telling the story of how I found out I was pregnant each time. There is an amazing story for each. I know, it's almost a novel!!

And last (and very least) is my mini album. I am SOOOOOOOO not a mini album person so this was a real struggle. It's filled with wonderful people though!!!

I had a bit of a giggle when I saw those featured in the magazine. Mine looks so pathetic. LOL!!!

Well that's it. That's my entry. I am really pleased with my 2 HM's but more so I am really pleased that I have these to add to my albums and desk. Well 3/4 anyway.

Actually I am a FRAUD!!! I still don't have any of my layouts in albums. LOL!!!!!!!

There was also a near disaster tonight. I went downstairs and found that my craft room was leaking in 3 places with all of this wonderful rain we have been getting. The water was just centimetres away from my piles of layouts!!!!!! I take this as a warning!

DEBBIE - If you see this I am sorry I missed your email. I was away for a couple of days!!!! I will be calling you tomorrow!! I bet you are too busy packing though!!

There is so much to do in the next couple of days. I only have one pressie to finalise but I do have Christmas lunch to organise. And yes, I am freaking out about that! And there is still the Christmas cards that I haven't finished.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

AND A SAFE AND HAPPY

NEW YEAR

TO YOU ALL!!

~ For those who read my mumbo jumbo!! For those I know IRL and those I don't. Whoever and wherever you may be! ~

Guess What?

Sharon did some journaling. That means I have 2 layouts to share. Only 4 more to go!

This first layout is from when Andrew cut his head open earlier this year.

This layout is about the very first time we saw Ali's temper and heard that scream of hers! I just happened to have been taking photos moments earlier so I had the camera around my neck.I never would have imagined that a doll could cause so much trouble. We went home shortly atfer these photos were taken...

My children decided to overdose on Vitamin C tablets yesterday. They thought it would be a nice snack when we weren't looking...and we are talking about a huge bottle. I won’t go into the way that it affects the body. Eeeew! Thank goodness it was not something more serious. It was a lesson learned for all of us.

And thank goodness for the Poison Information Hotlline. What a great service!

The only other news I have, and it's pretty exciting, is that our new, extended, front deck is finished. It looks fantastc and is HUGE!!!! I'll take some pics and post them next time.

That's it for today. I am off to re- redecorate the tree that the kiddos have re-re-re decorated.

Take Care.

It's December...

Well I haven't updated because...

I have wanted to post some of my layouts...

but they are all waiting for journaling...

and that's not done because I don't want to scrap when the house is such a mess...

and the house is such a mess because I am too tired...

which makes me too disorganised...

and that is too depressing...

so I sit on the couch and watch crappy TV shows and eat chocolate!!!

So because of all that you'll just have to put up with me posting some more pictures...

This smile makes me smile...
AND we have 2 new members of our family...

This is Ali with her bunny Cuddles...


And this is Andrew with his bunny Rocket (of course)...

I was thrilled to make contact with an old friend this week. I can't wait to catch up with her. It's been 8 years!!! When did I get old enough to have not seen a friend for 8 years???

Lots of 'STUFF' happening over the next few weeks, as I am sure everyone has.

Wishing everyone lots of smiles over these busy days.

I just want to finish with a quote I found in SM this month...

Remember if Christmas isn't found in your heart, you won't find it under a tree. - Charlotte Carpenter
