Spring Beauty

Just a lil update to say YEAH the SUN is SHINING!! Oh I love these days, clear skys perfect weather to get out and about with the kids and do a bucket load of gardening. Jason has been out riding all morning (4 hours) so I am sure he has enjoyed himself to the MAX with this Spring Beauty of a day.

Yesterday I spoilt myself and after many years got my digital slr camera :) doing a happy dance here. WOW wish I did it ages ago, what a difference in the lovely photos and crispness. So there will be lots of photos to follow on the blog soon, haven't had time to use it yet.





Had a snap this gorgeous boy the other day. Cade and Lainey tucked him in all snuggled up before they headed to school aaawwwwwwwwwww.

Made the below door hanging for a girlfriends sweet baby girl "Peggy". Sorry bad photo.



Cade is so proud to be a Joey Scout and Lainey is busting to join him, only a few years yet missy and you will be part of the Scout movement aswell xx

And last but not least a couple of layouts I have done recently.

HAPPY DAYS EVERYONE, enjoy our springtime as I know we will :)

love mwah Relle

Happy Sunday :)

This creation was a bright pink box!!!! So I decided to jazz it up a bit with some collections papers, texture paste, rub n buff and lots of lil trinkets etc. Love how it turned out and can't wait to finish the inside off as it needs some desperate attention. Also inside it holds an altered book, not quite sure how I am scrapping the pages as yet so stay tuned.

Oh I had so much fun putting this beautiful LO of Lainey together. This was completed for Bon's Scraps Room of the month and what a beautiful room it is. Three flowers on the page with the dark green/pink tinge are handmade out of old book pages thanks to Sarah for her wonderful teaching skills. There is also journalling inside the Maya Road pocket tag.

Here is Bon's colour challenge for this month's cybercrop. I must say the finger painting was alot of fun :)

MMmmmm well this is Little Miss Lainey playing in her bedroom with her friend who's hidden in the corner. The saying "The bigger the room, the bigger the mess" IS CORRECT! Yikes sometimes I can go into her bedroom, turn around and just walk away.......................

These are a few candid photos from the Scout Camp that I attended. Yes I am now a leader and go to Scouts every week with Cade and love every minute of it. The values that are taught are wonderful and the friends that we both meet are priceless. This month we are visiting the Police Station and Fire Station (the kids are going to love it).

The Group and what a FAB group they are, so much fun was had!!


Me and our Mascot for the wknd


A very friendly member of the campsite who loved to hang around and watch the goings on.


Mmmmmm new look, I THINK NOT. Me goofing as usual.

Had to share this photo below of Chewy, awwwwww so cute. He is dressed up all ready for his walk in the rain. The weather doesn't deter either of us from venturing out on our walkies together, although Mummy is scared of lightning.

And some photos from today.

We headed down to the foreshore for some playtime and to visit the Ol English Lolly Shop. The kids picked out a packet of Magic Lollies to share, they have recently watched Harry Potter so these lollies were a hit with the broom and witch shapes. Heaps of fun was had by all, although it was blowing a gale.

Cade with Mum's sunnies on. Dad was trying to point out a small aircraft doing tricks and Cade couldn't see due to the glare so he nabbed my eyewear.

Jason and Lainey taking a moment to watch the world pass by.

Cade loves this tree, he looks for it everytime to climb. I had a tree like this in my backyard when I was little and spent hours hooking up pully devices and all sorts from it.

Well it has been another busy week with study and work but I am finding a better balance now to fit the rest of my life into. This week my priority is to find Chewy a kennel for a week over Xmas, they are all booked out already :( Would love him to go to his fav kennel so fingers crossed they have a cancellation, Chewy is first on the waiting list.

Oh and one last photo of Lainey's new love of the moment "Mr Alien" she calls him and they snuggle together every night to keep warm.

Tootles to you and I am off to see what interesting dish Jason is serving up for tea tonight.

Yeah for the shining SUN

Yippee the sun is out and its a beautiful day to play!!


Cade is loving his mega sketcher, hows cool is this helicopter :)



This is Lainey's new favourite toy, her puppy loves to be groomed.

Well what can I say but thankyou Anne-Marie for letting me finish work early and join in Maxine's wonderful classes. Geez its a hard life working in a place you love :)

Below are some photos taken at Made with Memories during Max's classes on Saturday.


Ladies working hard, so talented this bunch x



Lil ol me, having a fab time.

This is one of Max's classes I did. How devine is this little chair, love love love.

Yummo Birthday cake mmmmmmmmm, Happy Birthday Olinka x

The photos below are of a mini canvas book by Maya Road that I have put together. Oh how devine are the lil canvas pockets MWAH! I used all sorts of paints, glimmermists etc and had a ball getting messy decorating the front cover. The Papers are from the new basic grey range and they are so so yummy.

Today I am playing with Bons kits from July, wow that girl knows how to throw a FAB kit together!!! Head over to the Bonsscraps and check out the awesome gallery or have a chat in the forum to all the girls. Bonsscraps have a Cybercrop running this Tuesday and its packed full of wonderful challenges and Bingo aswell.



Inspiration for today is:



Miss Lainey all cute and gorgeous


And the cutest journal ever found here at Blue Toad

So much to do in the next few days, first thing is get Cade to school on time!! Need to take some photos of my Scrappy Room, its all clean now. Want to get out and about with my camera. Must organise my jeans collection, some are too big and some are too small :(

XO

MAY MADNESS

A couple of pages I have scrapped recently, have mojo but just not the time to enjoy my love of paper and embellies as much as I would like :(

Our Family = heart x

Not much time for ME!! Crazy days filled with busy lil bee's trying to constantly cram everything in...........!!!! We have celebrated Laineys 3rd birthday, watched Jason ride a 6hour endurance race on the mountain bike oh and did assignments Blergh. Also took a trip to see Great Nanna Rita in Three Springs, oh she is the most gorgeous lady EVER. I have managed to fit a wee bit of craft time in but nowhere near what I would have liked to accomplish.

Now it has started to rain outside and yes all my washing as in TOWELS are on the line lol, winter is not the best drying season.

How wonderful is the present from my sister, she has just been to Tokyo and America. So I got some nice cream, origami papers from Tokyo and some Edward Cullen Lollies "LUST"!

And below is a picture of the most gorgeous rak from the most gorgeous Megan Leslie, WOW WEE how spoilt am I. Thanks Megan smooches MWAH.

Our Gorgeous 3year old is growing up into such a sweet girl, oh I just want some more cuddles. At the moment her favourite things are food (rofl), Chewy our puppy, playing lego with Cade and dress ups!! She got a mini kiddies lipstick for her birthday and she is walking around telling everyone to look at my lips they are pretty.

Some birthday photos from the park!! Cade love the pinata and gave it his best shot WHACK.

This is a picture of Cade right after his tooth fell out :0 , we actually had to stop on the side of the road mid roadtrip and clean up the blood and find the tooth. What a spunk.

Myself and Great Nanna Rita, love you forever Nan x

Random photo from one of our many stops on the drive to Three Springs (Mum I need the toilet).

Big hello to you all and hope that the new month brings joy and happiness into your lives. We have another busy month ahead of us, I have a camp on the long wknd for Scout training. Cade and I love to have this special time together and it gives me something to give back to the community and of course the KIDS :) Love that they are taught to respect the community and the environment.

See you all soon

CHOW

Mmmmmm I need to SCRAP!!

Happy Easter LOVELY PEOPLE!!

And what a FAB day we had it was full of chocolate, family, love, laughs and crazy crazy times! Started at 6am with Lainey creeping in ever so quietly to play with Chewy (dog) and the Cade crashing in "The Easter Bunny has BEEN"!!!!!!!

Oh the smiles and the joy was worth every moment of dragging my sorry lil self out of BED. :)

We spent the day at my Sis's house (formally known as Kelsey). They have just been handed the keys to their new lil home and Brian and Kelsey are STOKED FULLY!! It is so close to the city, friends and cute wee shops down the road. So this called for a "Oh What a Feeling Moment" LOL..........LOVE.......

Well after we over indulged on some choccies back at home Jason and Lainey hung out in Missy's room playing good ol Mr Potato Head. Need to get a photo of Darth Tater (classic).

So I haven't created as much as I would have liked to lately and yes Im slow on the uptake of loading and photographing YEP SLOW POKE. SO the only cool arty thing I have to show you is this playdough creation by my husband whilst playing with the kiddies.

Short but sweet this post but I have a great excuse.

IM SCRAPPING RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW
Oh and downloading some lovely new tunes from Itunes of course.

See You in a few days with some Scrappy Pages :)

Love Narelle / Sassy / Relle
