A new layout! What an amazing few weeks I've had! I've been so busy and created about 6 new layouts. Unfortunately I can only share one at the moment but am excited about the rest that will be coming soon....

"To the Moon..."

This layout I've been wanting to do for some time. Ethan always seeks out the moon and lets me know he's found it by saying: "I love you to the moon and back, Mummy!" . Got to love that... :)

It's a little bit arty with the splashes of paint but I still have my usual elements tucked in there too. TFL. xx

Camping again!...

It seems we can't get enough of camping lately. And who wouldn't enjoy the tranquil settings of this place....

It was so lovely to just sit by the fire, while we listened to the kids playing happily in the creek right on our campsite's doorstep.

We went on a bush walk and discovered the beautiful swimming hole we were told about. The kids had a great time even though the water was freezing!!!

It was a futile exercise though, because the kids weren't the least bit tired by the time we made it back to camp! (hee hee... Unlike the rest of us!)

Overall, this weekend was all about the water. Playing, splashing, building dams and secret hideouts, climbing, exploring and definitely relaxing. And the best thing about this trip though, .......we didn't see any snakes!!!

My first challenge...

Well I'm up and running over at The Boxx... I've had to do some homework and put together my first challenge on the weekend. Here's what I've come up with...

I've asked for three things...

1. Use some paint

2. At least 1 flower and

3. The colour blue.

I think I've kept it pretty simple and hopefully we'll see some fabulous layouts created by some very talented people. Come and play. I'd love to see you there.

I'm floating!...

AAaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh! Throw in a little happy dance and that's me running around like a crazy person.

phew! Just take a breath. I didn't expect to post this message but you are now reading the blog of the newest design team member at Scrapboxx.

Amazingly, after an intense and agonising wait for results of the dt competition, I decided to check my emails and found my happy, HAPPY news. Sorry. I'm really excited. I don't think I have come down from my high yet! *grin*

The final round of the competition involved some extremely talented Ladies and I am truly honoured to have been chosen by my peers to become the latest dt member at The Boxx. I am looking forward to my time over there and the challenges that will surely come my way. Come on over and visit. Play along and have a really great time while there.

Thanks for visiting. *grin* *grin* *grin*!!

...and finally a sleeping baby!

This is my final entry for the Scrapboxx design team competition. For our final round we had to use this quote: "Living is no laughing matter: You must live with great seriousness..... I mean, however and wherever we are, we must live as if we will never die" . And we were forbidden to use any photos!!! But anything else could be used. So... That's it. Now I have long nervous wait until Wednesday. LOL!

So in the meantime, I thought I'd try out in the Scrapper of Oz competition over at Scrapz Biz. Here is my round 1 entry:

We have to create a scene, use the colours of the rainbow, show movement and journal something inspirational or a dream for yourself or someone. I've recycled quite a bit of stuff in this layout too. :)

That's it on the scrapping front for the moment. But before I leave, I just wanted to share this photo I found of Liam (our very nearly 7yo)!

Does he remind you of anyone???

Thanks for stopping by.

Brothers...a different combo...

With Liam at school, Ethan is now relishing the part of playing "big" brother! And he is taking the role quite seriously. Ethan knows exactly what Cameron wants and or needs. That's what "big" brothers do! They are intuitive to their "little" brother's needs! But don't get me wrong... E loves being a "younger" brother too! He is no longer a "little" brother.... but a big boy in the middle! tee hee....

However, Ethan still gets extremely excited when he sees both Tahlia and Liam walk in the door after getting off the bus. He greets them as if they have been gone for more than a year. I suppose it must feel like that when there is only Mummy and a baby to share the day with... (Hhhmmm.)

In other news, Cam is studying his surroundings and learning that his little arms and legs can actually create movement. Especially under the play gym.

He also wants to eat and sit up, but we are still restricting these movements until he is just that little bit older. Babies shouldn't be sitting up by 14 weeks of age!!!
