Update & Create...

Wow! It's been a while. But it has been super crazy in between! LOL!! I'll start with the update of Tahlia and her arm... :(

She has a rare fracture. The Fracture Clinic doctor said it wasn't often, that they see this type of injury, which must be saying something since that's the whole premise for the clinic. Looking at broken bones!

She has managed to crush a blood vessel in her wrist (along with causing a fracture on one of the bones) and this has led to part of the bone dying. She needs to be aware that this injury is likely to lead to an arthritic condition, not always, but sometimes. Hopefully with the wrist being set, the blood vessel will heal with little problem.

We had a three hour wait at the clinic. So crazy since we only saw the doctor for a fraction of a second! ha! I think the best part of the whole ordeal, (apart from walking out the door), was Tahlia choosing the colour of the cast she was going to wear. She wasn't making this decision lightly! LOL! She had to consider what colours would co-ordinate with most of her wardrobe! Her school uniform is navy blue and green. Her everyday clothes have a lot of browns, creams, reds and blacks.... And this is what colour she chose....

That's right! A very pretty pink! LOL! I had to get this shot before all the signatures from friends, parents and teachers made it on there! You should see it now! LOL!!

Anyway, onto some scrapping news. This week I have set the challenge at The Boxx. After a successful Cyber Crop I am not sure how many takers I will have! hee hee... I think there will be a few who are a little bit scrapped out at the moment!

You can find the details here:

Also this week, Challenge #52 is up at Inspired Blueprints.


This is what I created:

{Bug Boy}


Ethan is a huge fan of collecting all sorts of creepy crawlies at the moment! He really does enjoy being outside. As long as he doesn't pick up anything too dangerous, I'm okay with him playing!!

And lastly, I've created this fun project for Kaisercraft.

She's such a sweet little chipboard doll that can be used in any matter of ways! I have glued her to a door hanger. She now resides on Tahlia's door to her room. I created and added the lantern to suggest the idea of a night light and follow through with the Chinese dress up theme.


I love the beautiful range of papers in the new LUSH collection.

Well, that must be it for now. Thanks for visiting and please feel free to leave a comment...x
