What a Weekend

Busy, Busy Busy....spent Saturday morning chilling (well as much as you can with 4 kids running around and a hubby out of the house), ready for work Sat night which didn't end up being too bad due to that flippin ball kicking thing on the telly. Rolled into bed late then got up late Sunday for the All day crop. Threw some stock in a box and off I went for a day of Laughter, Chatter, and a insy wincy bit of scrapping. It was great to meet eveyone and nice to put more faces to names. But the downside was I ended up spending most of last night and today catching up with housework.....Boooooring.

Anyway I managed to get it all done ready for a night of scrapping.....and what happens, yep the layout just doesn't look right without the ribbon I told myself I didn't need. So while it's not finished I can say a BIG THANKYOU to Sarah whos going to pop it around for me tomorrow. (love ya), so here is another of my layouts to keep you going until I can post my creation. This is my youngest and her concept of time - it's just so cute I had to get it down on paper. I've also made a note to myself to get more things like this scrapped.....yep means more journalling, but hey maybe I'm just getting old. LOL

I'm Bad.....

It's been nearly a whole month and no posting, sorry for those of you that do read I just keep forgetting. Anyway, I had a great time on my weekend away and I've really got going with the kids albums, they are now my crop work and it's great that I know what to take and can just get on, instead of having a panic attack the night before deciding what to take, and will I need this or that? My crop bag is now permanently packed and I'm ready to go at a moments notice. Here is the A layout for my eldest Megans page, and it's all worked on the Cathy Zielske idea of an A-Z book but in 8x8 and not about me. I've even journalled (shock horror) and hand written it all.....only cause it's for the kids though, so don't even think for a minute that journalling will be popping up on all my pages from now on, as it's not got a chance.

I've also been quite creative in general, and taking pictures of the kids in the pool like mad, this is one I did the other night of Katherine and her face is just precious. I seemed to faff alot with it before getting it right, but I'm chuffed with the end result, and I finally got to use those lil davis wooden letters that just haven't been quite right on other layouts I've tried.

And the BIG news is that I've actually cleaned my kitchen window today. Normally I end up asking the window cleaner nicely to give it a quick wash for me when he has his brew, but due to him being off the last few times I felt I'd better get off my rear, climb on the sink and get on with it, now how good am I?? Oh ok then to you it's normal, but to little big it's a big thing OK? So give me a pat on the back and a little cheer.

Also the BIG, BIG news is even better.....but I can't tell ya. Hehe. I will just as soon as I can, surfice to say that I'm chuffed as mint balls, and I'm 'sorta' gonna be in print. :) Anyway I'm rambling now so I'd better get some sleep, hubby is on call again tomorrow, and while it means no work for me and more scrapping it also means that my lie in goes out the window.
