Hhhhmmm...

What is it about boys and tractors?.... Cam seems to have fallen in fascination with them just like his older brothers have before him!

Our big chubby bubba is now 7.5 months old and is being his wonderful, happy self. Even though he is a little bit sick at the moment. Every time I take him to the doctor for a check up or if he is just under the weather, he perks right up and wants to play!!!! (I'm sure he just likes to prove me wrong and make a fool out of me!! LOL!)

Other than that, he is doing very well. Up on his hands and knees, rocking to and fro. I'm not sure I'm ready for him to start crawling everywhere just yet. :D He has however, shown just how determined he can be, when he wants something!! Especially a certain "yellow" tractor! LOL!

By the way...Does anyone know what the collective noun for tractor is? Because we sure do have a lot of them in our household!!

Thanks for visiting...xx.

Scrapboxx newsletter...

Hi there! The Scrapboxx newsletter is out and I just wanted to share my layouts. This month all of the Design Team members had a chance to play with the Boxx of Scraps (kit). Maria did an amazing job putting this kit together and if you are interested, you can find it here.

I wanted to scrap this photo of my little girl, (who is not so little really...*sigh*) and her absolute love of ballet. The tutus are so cute and she was loving the stage!! hee hee...

{superhero}

My boys are in the midst of a superhero craze at the moment! At each and every opportunity they grab the bathroom towels, a couple of pegs and fly off on some new adventure! I love how, even though there is three years age difference between the two of them, they still enjoy playing together! And you have to love a new toy that doesn't cost the earth! Right?!

Thanks for visiting! And if you are here for the first time via Kaisercraft, thank you very much for your interest and love of this wonderful hobby that we all share! xx.

Guest DT!...

Wow! I'm so excited!! Go and check out Kaisercraft. There's a familiar face over there! LOL!

Here's the layout I created with the gorgeous La Di Da collection!

The pinks and purples are so pretty!


Thank you for visiting. xx

Journal It challenge...

The new challenge is up over at Journal It. It's all about "Seasons". I'd love to see your interpretation...

And there is an exciting new team. Come and say "hello!"

AND....a big, big, BIG thank you to everyone who sent warm and squishy birthday wishes to me for Monday. It was really touching! Thanks again. xx.

Feeling good....

Today is my birthday....and I have been treated beautifully with hand-picked roses, breakfast in bed, home-made cards and a morning of shopping....

I can't ask for better than that. xx.

Happy Valentine's Day...

Hope it is sweet for you! xx

Out-takes...

Four kids... Five minutes... 44 photos... many, many out-takes! How do you keep them looking AND smiling all at the same time... AND in the same direction?! Beats me! LOL! But it makes me smile when I see the results of five minutes, hard work!

Happy snapping today. xx

It feels like ages since I have posted anything....or had anything to actually post! I have been busy though.... squirrelling away at this and that!!!

And this is something I can share!

The absolutely devine Kaisercraft "Devonshire" collection arrived on my doorstep earlier in the week, and I have been itching to play! This is "adore"...

Liam and Cameron sharing a moment....

On a separate note, it is our absolutely, adorable nephew's 9th birthday today!! A big shout out to you Callum! Mwah xx... We love you!

A little bit MORE rain...

Did we venture outside of our front door today? Well, the answer is yes. We needed staples. Bread and milk!! Especially if we are going to become an island on the mainland sometime today or tonight! LOL!!

I'm so glad I took the camera. I don't think you'd believe me if I said this rain only started last night....

This was the view going into the main shopping area of town...

And this is the river we needed to cross to get our shopping...

And this is the local park and playground...

Can you see the green, picnic shelter roof, just above the waterline (under the trees on the left-hand side of pic)..?

And this!...Maybe those rowboats I was talking about in the last post aren't metaphorical... This is on the school bus route!

Hhhhmmmm! I may have to double check this before the kids go to school tomorrow!

A little bit of rain...

Today we have woken up with what is probably the remains of cyclone "Olga" on our doorstep. She decided to sweep through North Queensland about a week ago leaving havoc in her wake with plenty of localised flooding.

And during last night and this morning, she has come knocking on our door....

All this, in our back yard...

Is it any wonder we can't manage to mow the grass at the moment!! LOL! I will let you know if I need to break out the row boats to get the kids to school tomorrow....

Oh My Gosh!!!....

Check this out!!! I have been chosen to be a guest design team member at Kaisercraft!!! And I'm first up with Katie Howard! Can you believe it! I'm still pinching myself! hee hee! Who knew they liked fairy tales (with a twist)!!!

CT call for Journal It...

I've had a chance to scrap a little bit... Not a great deal and there's still some layouts that I can't share yet... But here are the ones I can.

"Cinderella 101"

A cheeky layout of Tahlia and my appreciation of what she does to help me out around the house. She is always a (mostly) willing helper. hee hee...

And as all fairy tales read... From "Cinderella" to "Princess"...

"Our Princess"

Funny...but that wasn't intentional! LOL! This is just a random layout after playing with the January Boxx of Scraps found over here.
