and another I made up with the scraps..
off to footy today. Patrick made the rep side for footy and it extremely proud of himself. Yay Paddy!
filled all the criteria. The journaling reads..."since Lee started working full time, we never get to catch up anymore. Our families get together every Sunday for dinner and we share a bottle and talk about our week. Sometimes, if it has been a busy one.......we crack open another one..or two"
This is the bonus card. Orange and the greeting had to have EAT CAKE and have 2 hand made emblies. Just realised....Not a fan of Orange either! So that is purple and orange now! And they DO look nice together.
Speaking of SPEED SCRAPPING.....Amanda over at SCRAP AROUND THE CLOCK has set a speed challenge. Check it out.
not much to show as I have been running around with other things (non scrap related) and I really NEED to clean and reorganise my scrap area.... looks like a tip!!
Not long till the Arty Farty Angel Party the place we are going looks brilliant!!! The DT has come up with some beautiful classes for us. I can't wait!! I have to get all my photos and pp ready.....I can feel a MOJO BLOCK coming on :( breathe Ange breathe..... hee hee!
I had to grunge a few up they were way too clean for my liking! Sorry for the crappy photos....but it is pretty dark here atm, I think it may rain (huh).
The next day I went into Olympic Park ( I took the trusty GPS...GOD I LOVE that thing!) and watched Aden and my niece Ellie and nephew Ben compete in the SACCSS athletics carnival. I was so impressed with Aden, he is very good at long distance and he ran in a 400, 800 and 1500 and came 4th and 5th, 5th respectively. Not really his events, the short ones but gosh he did well. Ellie won everything and was awarded Senior Champion and Benny came 2nd in his race.
Sorry to bore you with continual sporting news of the kiddies.... but Nana DOES like an update.
ANYWAY.... GREED was Wicked Princesses theme of the week. The criteria was to have the colour scheme black yellow and white. Have journaling in list form and have a stamping technique. He is my entry.....
and the card had to have best wishes theme. I found this stampin' up stamp today while I was sorting a few stamps out and I was laughing....because I would've normally found the stamp NEXT week.....!!!!
Going to Scraphaven tomorrow to attend a class by Yvonne Campbell. Yvonne won a HEAP of awards at the Stampin' Up convention last month. So looking forward to seeing what she has planned.
anyway see ya :)
A fantastic win for the boys and I think they are on top of the ladder! ( So I heard for one of the boys....I never pay attention to scores or stats!) Paddy kicked three goals and played really well. That is all you want for your milestone game!
Been quite busy this week and I just scraped in with my Wicked Princess LO this week! I just love this picture of Patrick sleeping. I could just sit and watch him for hours......(that is because I was so bloody sleep deprived I COULDN'T get up lol) This weeks theme was SLOTH. A light blue mono LO with stitching and two hand-made and non scrapping embellishments. I used a facewasher for the flower and stamped and put together the clock. 
Another bit of exciting news.....I got this in the mail the other day! A NZ magazine published my LO of Christie dancing. So exciting!
Yesterday, I watched Aden compete in the CAS (Catholic All Schools) cross country at Bundoora. The poor kid has caught my cold and his nose was running like a tap and he looked miserable. I had to resist the urge to give him a tissue as he ran past me! Imagine the telling off I would get! I was so proud of him, he ran 6 ks in 22.55 and came 5th. Not sure if he goes on or not
GOT SOME really exciting news this morning........stay tuned!
see ya ;)
I had a beautiful mothers day! I did 4 loads of washing, raced to the supermarket to BUY the bacon, eggs & hash browns,made my own brekkie with the help of Lachlan, , watched two games of football (which we won!) and did the weekly shopping, made a flower arrangement for MIL and went out for dinner! whew! It was great though. I am very blessed to have such fantastic children! Sure they annoy the hell out of me sometimes and I lovingly call them the "Bloodsucking Leeches" but I love them to death and EQUALLY (contrary to popular belief!) My favourite IS THE CHILD that is not causing me any grief and annoying me! It varies from day to day! hour to hour on some days.
It is really hard to get a photo of someone NOT pulling a face and all looking at the camera at the same time! ANY way happy with all these. I won't put them all up but this is the theme of them!
see ya :) 
This was for a blind challenge at Wicked Princess.
This weeks CCG
This was taken just after Lachlan was born in 1995! Christie desperately wanted a sister as Aden was "such a naughty boy mummy!" she cried for a couple of days but got over it pretty quickly! They get on really well those two. 
Patrick ran in his Cross Country today. He wasn't feeling well this morning ( I think I have given him my cold !) anyway I told him to suck it up (great mother eh?!) and I went to watch him run. He came in 7th and crossed the finish line and collapsed! one of the teachers said it looked like he fainted! Anyway I took him home and he is all snugly on the couch watching a movie. It is raining here at the moment so I couldn't think of anything better myself!
