Project 365 - 16 Mar to 22 Mar & some scrapping

-
Yes well time certainly got away from me this last fortnight and I completely spaced about posting my photos. That's not to say that I haven't been taking them every day, because I have - faithfully. I'm just having a bit of trouble remembering about posting them LOL.

Anyway here is my catch up from last week and I will post THIS weeks tomorrow, I sort of promise LOL

Day 75
Today my big girl flew to Canberra with all the other Year Seven's of her school. We had to be at the school at 6am and that is why my photo isn't very good - it has NOTHING to do with that fact that I was trying to not to blubber all over her like an hysterical over-protective Mother LOL.

Day 76
When Mum moved on the weekend I got to have a pile of her Bromiliades from her old garden as she isn't ready to re-do the garden in her new place. I placed them in my front yard under my trees because it is shady there most of the time - I hope they do ok!

Day 77
This is a creeper that is growing on the wall between us and our next-door neighbors place - the flowers are very pretty.

Day 78
Tasha found this sweet little skink when she was grubbing around in the garden today - I dutifully took a photo as asked and then I persuaded her to release the poor terrified creature.

Day 79
This photo has ended up being my submission for the March "Up Close and Personal" Photography Challenge - it was a struggle trying to get the perfect macro shot but I managed to get this one by laying on my tummy on the dewy morning grass to stop my hands from shaking!

Day 80
Bella managed to get Gastroenteritis while on camp in Canberra and has been vomiting all over the place since she got home - she is pretty exhausted and just lays around while she can. We were over at Mums and she found my copy of Twilight there so she started reading it to make herself feel better.

Day 81
We broke our diet tonight and I think if you are going to break your diet it should be for something YUMMY! Like Nachos rofl - and they were yummy! But don't worry I have now lost 5.50 kilos so far and that is after the naughty nacho dinner so I am still on track.

Ok I have been doing a bit of scrapping as well in between forgetting to blog so here you are:

I made this page using the fabulous new collab Magical Tale between FruitLoOp Sally and Camila Designs - it went perfectly with the photo I chose of Tasha dancing in the backyard.

I made this page using ET Designs beautiful kit Amazing World and Amazing Words - they are so much fun to use! Such yummy colours.

I was trying to cheer Bella up with this page as she hasn't been well and she did smile to see herself posed among all these adorable animals! I had so much fun making this with Dawn Inskip's new kit A Brand New Day - don't you just love those doodles?

I have managed to journal on every page I have made since I wrote my article on journaling in the March Issue of the PBP Newsletter. If you are interested in reading my article on journaling "Journaling - how to keep your memories alive" you can check it out here and you might want to subscribe to the newsletter so you don't miss out on any other interesting things in future editions of the newsletter!

Rightio it's time I got some work done so I'll catch up with you later on - probably tomorrow or Monday LOL!

Good girl on the journalling, you know how I feel about journalling!!! Love the photos, but mostly congratulations on the weight loss. GO YOU !!!!! That's fabulous. And I think you need to break out every now and then (although I'm wondering where the guacamole and sour cream are in that photo? Hmmmm? Nachos aren't nachos with those little beauties married up with it).

Well I have made a start on my first resolution and I have been taking my photo-a-day. I am probably only going to post on Sundays though because it is a bit of a pain uploading the photos daily blah blah blah so I thought that once a week is plenty. It's pretty quiet here on Sundays so I am hoping that this will be a good time to post the weeks photos. I am going to use the gorgeous photo frames from Deb's fabulous 365 Challenge over at Pickleberrypop - if you like them you can get them too by going here or clicking on the image :) So here are my first four days for my Project 365 - I hope I can make the distance this time. As to the other parts of my new Years resolutions I have to say i am off to a pretty good start there too. I spent some time on the phone to one of my girlfriends which resulted in me going out to see the Twilight movie with her for a nice girls time (with our eldest girls but that is ok). I LOVED the movie and I really can't wait for the rest of them

It still freaks me out that I am still going with this project - and even my family are starting to get interested in what I am doing and are becoming more than unwilling victims of my paparazzi attacks they are even suggesting things for me to photograph. The biggest shock came from hubby when he said today that I should take a photo once a week of each of our faces so that we can have a record of how our faces change over the course of a year. I think that this interest from him has a lot to do with the fact that he is on the diet with me and I have been telling him how much slimmer his face is looking ROFL. So next week you may very well see (in addition to my project photos) a photo of the four of us - should be fun! Ok enough blabbering - on to the project photos for last week! Day 82 Bella knows that there is no point asking Mum to help her with her maths homework - unless I can have my calculator there next to I am frankly less than useless! Luckily Dad came home from work earl

Ok so I MEANT to come back and post last weeks photos but I guess I forgot LOL. I jumped on here today to do some posting about my scrapping and thought opppps I'm a bit behind! hahaha oh well I put my photos on a LO again so here you are - April 13 through to April 19. Credits - DebF - Year in Review template and everything else from ksharonk designs. Now I have been doing a bit of CT scrapping over the last week and I would love to share my pages with you. Sharon had put the delicious kit Sophisticate in the PBP store last Friday and I couldn't wait to use it. The papers are so yummy and the kit is very elegant! Baby's got the bluest eyes Credits here We asked and she delivered - Dawn made some fabulous doodled page borders with some handy notebook style papers for us to play with after one of the CT girls made a request for them. The pack is called Daydreamer and you can get it here from the PBP store. They are so much fun and I had a great time making this page - cho
