Addicted to Books & Digiscrapping

Yes even though I have been working the school holidays are still more relaxing than the usual grind - especially in the morning. No rushing around making lunches and ironing the uniforms you didn't feel like doing the night before, just a lovely breakfast chat around the table and then I swan off leaving the girls clasped tight to their Grandma's bosom! Ahhh life is good ain't it Kristie?? LOL. But better than that is having a night out with ....*gasp* GROWN-UPS! Yes hubby and I went out on Thursday night with our friends P & J to see Toni Childs in concert! My head is still spinning from the sheer delight of going out with friends, having dinner at a pub, walking up to the Tivoli to listen to the glorious voice of Toni Childs, and then creeping back in the house at 11.30pm to find my mum cuddled up under a blanket blinking sleepily at me. ROFL it was like when I was soooo much younger sneaking in after a big night out only to find mum waiting for me with the frowny fa...

Hi there! Yay the school holidays are here! Thank heavens! The kids have been so ratty recently, I am so glad that they have some quiet time at home these holidays - they really need the rest. We did kick the holidays off in a grand way by going to see Wall-E at the movies. Tasha and I went together but Bella went with a group of friends and sat up the back of the theater ~ ahh those were the days when you sat up the back of the theatre, these days I need to sit a bit closer to the screen LOL. Tasha and I loved the movie but Bella reckons it was "really ummmm well the graphics were ok" I think she had more fun giggling with her pals. Tomorrow we are having a PJ day and are going to do nothing but sit in front of the TV in our PJs watching DVDs and eating Popcorn! Well that is the plan anyway LOL - and then it is back to work for me and the kids are going to be driving Mum and my Step-Dad up the wall for a few days. Good Luck Mum LOL~! On the scrapping front, there is NO FRON...

Just because it is Sunday I thought I would pop in and say "Hi!" sooo Um "Hi!" LOL. Not a lot going on here ~ work, home, work, home etc etc etc. I am looking forward to the school holidays coming up (even though I am working for 90% of them) if only to break up the routine a bit rofl. We all seem to have emerged from the cold & flu season at last and while there are lingering coughs around the house we are all pretty healthy at the moment. Tasha has finally lost both her top teeth and she looks absolutely adorable at the moment. Funny how it is cute to have missing teeth when you are six but not so much when you are an adult. Tasha 9th September 2008 Not a lot of scrapping going on I'm afraid ~ the mojo train has left the station well and truly although I did manage to do the latest Pickle Jar Challenge and it was plenty of fun! Best Dad Credits here Hmm next I might have a go at Victoria's Title Work Challenge @ PBP ~ it looks like a great place to ...

I haven't scrapped for a while for one reason or another and I have really been lacking the motivation to scrap as well. So I was pretty damn excited to see the September challenges pop up over at Pickleberrypop . And ooohhhhh the Solids Only challenge hosted by Ann-Marie is FABULOUS! It's hard but then it wouldn't really be a challenge if it was easy now would it LOL. And do you see those lovely papers by Ann-Marie?? Well if you pop over to this thread and check out the challenge you can get them for FREE! Yes free! Seriously, how cool is that? Anyway I felt pretty inspired by the challenge and here is the page that I did for it! Always be joyful! Credits here Well I had planned to post some photos of my big girl's birthday but soo many of them had other kids in them so I won't post them sorry. But there were lots of smiling faces and happy kids. Ok, got to go, emails to send things & to do LOL

Well sorry to be MIA for a while but Tasha's cold turned out to be the 'flu and she spent a week off school. I was off work for most of the time to be with her. But that should leave plenty of time for scrapping and blogging, right? WRONG! Poor little poppet just wanted Mummy to be with her all the time. I was awful to see her so limp and sick, she is usually such an active little thing and hardly ever stops but the 'flu really knocked her around. Bella was wonderful the whole time and even graciously said she didn't need to go out to dinner on her birthday because Tasha was so sick! What a girl! Yes, my eldest baby is now a fabulous 11 year old! Pinch me someone! Where did that time go? She had a wonderful day, I made cake and she got lots of attention and gifts (thanks everyone!). She had a bowling party on Saturday with a few of her friends and had a great time! Oh and I promise I will post some photos and details soon. Until then ..... I leave you with this lovel...
