over at Bonsscraps!!! Tuesday 17th November!!

It all kicks off at 8:30pm VIC time...check out the timetable here

Bingo and general chat happens in CHATZY and don't forget to get your BINGO words in!!!

So a little from me...have to be quick, off to Pilates soon, before we head to Sorrento/Blairgowrie for Ian (Nath's boss and I went to primary school with him) and Sam's wedding...should be a nice night...looking forward to a sleep in tomorrow morning:)

Had a heap of work accepted for publication lately and I can't put up the rest just yet as it is DT work for over at Bon's...

I've been using Bon's BOY kit (and the girl kit too)....I think these are my fav kits ever of hers!!!!
There's one kit left if you want to snap it up...I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it!!!!!!!

what?

another post by me...something must be wrong LOL.

nah just think I've finally caught the blog bug!

So we went camping at Sandy Point for the Cup weekend with Kell, Jase and their two kids, Jade and Josh. Had a great time, weather was a mixture of everything, but the kids had fun...especially Jade and Isy who played sooooo well all weekend!!!

WHAT A MONTH

yes it's been a BIG month -it's been a VERY BUSY one!! and we've hardly been in Melbourne so a bit hard to blog!

So what's news?

1) I'm pregnant - 20 weeks today.
We are very very very excited! It has been a very long road to get to this stage, but after a couple of years of hell, and some mishaps along the way we can say we have a very healthy baby on the way, due March 23rd 2010!

AND NO WE DIDN'T FIND OUT THE SEX!







2) I am the guest DT member until the end of December over at Bon's Scraps....

Here are some of my latest creations....scrapping is a little hit and miss at the moment...I think it's the pregnancy hormones!!!













3) We spent 2 weeks on the Sunshine Coast, staying at Sunshine Beach, hanging out there and in Noosa....weather was perfect...27 - 29 everyday...and all we did was relax, go to the beach and swim in the pool!

and we just got back from 5 days camping at Sandy Point with Kell and Jase and Jade and Josh...but I will blog those in the next week i promise!

mmmm i think that's it...

Isy turns 3

Yes that's right 3!!! what a big girl...and here are just a few shots from her b'day. We had it on Grand Final day and at Murrumbeena Playgroup. From us she got a bike...that's all she wanted...and she loves it. She had a great time and I think all the other kids did too.

WAHOO!!!!!

CC NIGHT AT BON'S TONIGHT...and the NEW DT will be revealed!!!!! I'm SUPER excited as I was in the last 5 for the DT spots....so all will be revealed tonight...will I get in or not!!!?????

A day out with friends

Today was a lovely day....not a very long one but a lovely day nonetheless...

We don't get to spend as much time with Flynn and Jodie atm, due to Jodie's work committments but Jodie didn't have to to work today so we decided to take the kids to Myuna farm (just near Dandenong).

The kids loved it, the weather was pretty good (got a bit chilly towards the end) and we saw heaps and heaps of animals!

Just a few snaps from today....

Scrapping wise what have I been doing...NOT MUCH!!! just been busy and very tired....I think I've lost my mojo!

and the last few pages I've done I've not been happy with AT ALL...but i'll show you anyway!

Thought I would share...

I stole (hehehe) this off Felicity's blog (thanks Felicity and GOOD LUCK getting that bub out!!!!)

Go on over and visit these blogs....women I find inspirational NOT JUST FOR THEIR SCRAPPING!

Why?

The question needs to be raised....why do I have a blog?

I'm so bad at updating....How long ago did I blog?2.5 months ago...that's shocking! Ok so settle in, here's an update.

1) Work is fine....a few minor issues but nothing I can't sort out IYKWIM.
2) Nath is great. Job is good.

3) Isobel is great. No more crying when we leave her at Day Care (yay). Toilet training all done, she is such a star. She's also moved rooms and is in love with her big bed and new room.

4) We went camping at Cumberland River (Lorne) for Easter. It was out first time camping as a family and whilst it was a bit of hard work, we had a great time, despite the zip on the tent (Dad's tent) busting on Saturday. So we are going to get a new tent with separate rooms, a new mattress (NOT a lilo) for us, a camp stretcher for Isy and a camp stove and we are going to try and go camping at least twice a year as a family. Great, cheap, relaxing holidays!

5)We are on the IVF train again. I won't be writing too much about it as it is such a long process and we are trying to not think about it all the time, let me just say it is going well, I have lost my mind, can't remember things at all, been quite silly but we are definitely on our way to having another baby. The next time I update this blog, hopefully I will be pregnant!

6) Scrapping wise, haven't done a lot! March I only did 4 LOs, no not in a week...in the whole month!!! April has been slightly better.....went to a crop with Bon's - did acouple of LOS there and I am hanging out for the CC over at Bon's this Tuesday, have some great photos to scrap and need a challenge or 2 or 3. Here's my latest stuff.


Have a great week....
