I have been busy.....

.......doing this:

 






It turns out, Weddings are extremely time consuming (and especially when you have as much bad luck as we did......the worst luck pre wedding lead up means the best luck in a marriage right??) and take up every single waking moment!  We got married on October 13th and it was a perfect day.  I am IN LOVE with my professional photos, and cant wait to scrap them.

I have slowly started to create some more scrapbook pages, so I will share them next time!  

In other news.....I am going to be studying next year!!  Working full time, being a mum AND studying....I think I have gone mad!!  Hopefully it all works out!

Our local Show

Today was our local show!! We took X and went with some friends!! We had a great day!! They have a little boy A who is only 3 weeks younger than X so we get together regularly for playdates! The boys loved the farm animals in the petting zoo and all the excitement of Sideshow Alley! It was so nice to go to the show with kids - even though they are only 8 months old!! It will be crazy next year, when they can actually ask for things!

Here are some photos that I took to remember the day!!


They had all these cool dinosaurs that X just couldn't take his eyes off!!


Loving all the farm animals. He wasn't scared AT ALL! Just wanted to touch and pat everything!


Loved sitting on the display tractor! Maybe he will be a farmer when he grows up?? ha ha ha



He loved the little tractors too.....although not as much as the big one!! :)



His first go of putting the balls in (this case) the duck!! He needed a lot of help from his dad, as he just wanted to eat the balls!



Playing with his prize. I love this picture of my two boys at the show!! Love them to bits!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Daring you to Scrap Entry

Well I have completed another challenge!! YAY!! This one was for Daring You to Scrap. This was lots of fun and I really enjoyed making this page (notice a theme here....photo strip photos, misting and lots of photos of X are a few of my favourite things at the moment).

The criteria this month was to use 'old school photos' such as Photo Strips or Polaroids! I am loving photo strips at the moment as I am getting to use all the 'out take' photos of X. In these photos we had a mini photo shoot in the back yard to show off his first mohawk!! I just think it was one of the cutest things ever!!!

Thanks for stopping by!
This page was actually created using one of the AWESOME kits from Polly Scrap Kits. Love the kits there!! :)


This page also featured a super cute robot button from KittyRobot!! Love it!!

123 Challenges



I actually scrapped this month.....and thought that I would enter some of the awesome challenge sites that I always look at and say that I will enter....but never do!! Over at 123 Challenge the March Challenge was:

Colour - Metallic Blue (I painted the numbers with blue paint and Kindy Glitzed over the top, the thread used is a metallic blue, added some sparkly and shiny brads and jewels, I also made a dark blue flower out of satin material, used blue glimmer mist and also coloured in some pearls so that they were shiny blues as well)


Word - 123 (used in my title)

Technique/Embellishment - use something organic (I used wooden letter tiles)


Of course I have scrapped the adorable Mr X - I just cant seem to scrap anyone or anything else at the moment!! We spent the weekend in Brisbane a few weeks ago and we went to the Brisbane Museum and I just wanted to get a nice picture of X to remember the day, although there was NO WAY he was going to cooperate.....so unfortunately what you see, really were the best photos we got of him. ha ha ha I am loving photo strips at the moment - so I have printed some out and used these rather than bigger photos!

Thanks for visiting!!

Slacker

Well I have been super slack!! Although life has just gotton away from me at the moment. It has been tricky juggling work - I am just so tired and sore when I get home, 7 months at home made me soft!! ha ha ha
X loves going for family walks on the weekend! He loves to sticky beak at everything, and loves watching the cars drive past on the road - such a boy!!


X is settling into daycare really well! I am so happy about that! It is such a relief off my mind, its nice having him in the daycare centre next door though, as the girls just ring me when he needs his big feed for the day (although I think he is starting to ween himself as he loves food so much).
Cheeky biscuit grin!!

We had my nana's suprise 80th birthday on the weekend so that was nice to catch up with everyone (most of the family made it to visit) and for everyone to get to meet X! And nana, mum, X and I got to have a 4 generations photo together!!

With the floods in St George we had family coming to stay with us for a week - our house was noisy and full....we loved having them though! We gained 2 adults, 2 children and 3 dogs!!

Scrapping has been at a minimal! I just cant seem to find the time at the moment - need to get back into a routine again, need to do it of a night when it is cooler and X is asleep.

My only 2 layouts:

This layout features a pretty pink lollypop from Charms Creations (love her work)!!

In his super cute PJs - can anyone say deer in headlights??

We are off to Brisbane this weekend for a mini family getaway! My almost husband is going to a festival (Soundwave) so X and I are going to spend the day together, shopping and things!!

Now to share some photos of my super cute boy!! Will be back soon to share some photos from Brisbane!
His first mohawk!!
