Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

We had a lovely, not too busy, not crazy Christmas and New Year. Lunch at Mum's and then Boxing Day at In Laws.

I got 2 things for Christmas...
this which Nath built for me...isn't it fantastic. We have NEVER had a TV unit in the 11 years we have lived together, just mismatched tables and a jungle of wires!

and a new Canon 450D which I am in love with! and thanks to my sister's boyfriend Andrew I am already in Manual mode, setting ISO etc etc and wow how my photos have changed. Here's a few I love from the last week...

We had Kelly and Jase and their two kids and Mel and Michael and their two kids over for New Year's Eve and had a blast...what a stinker of a night which then turned into a big storm. The kids loved it.

2010 promises to be a great year for us, with us finally completing our family. Don't get me wrong we had a good year in 2009 but we happy to see in 2010.

Being crafty.

I swear I did a post yesterday...but obviously I forgot to press POST!

So what's up? What's been happening for the last 6 weeks? Um I am now 28 weeks pregnant, baby is good, very active, getting a bit uncomfortable and HEAVY!

My time as Guest DT over at Bon's has finished:( but now I can enter the comps again YAY! Have you seen the Jan kits - OMGoodness!!! I just ordered the girl one, but could have got the boy one as well...still might! Check them out here.

I am applying for the new DT spot over at Scrapbook Savvy, lots of good scrappers applying so I probably won't get it, but got to be in it to win it hey, and Sar runs a lovely shop and forum over there.

Scrapping wise I've done a fair bit, not too much, and I have only been scrapping when I want to, and I've been very happy with what I've come up with. I've got 6 LOs with SC and SM atm so pretty happy with that.


I've also been doing a lot of sewing, yep you heard correctly. The first thing I made was a dress for Isobel - of course I didn't start with an easy one did I.

Then I made this for Isobel one day and I also made myself a maternity top and a strapless top for NYE. Working on a couple of dresses for me as well atm.



Christmas was great too....but will blog about that tomorrow:)

CYBERCROP TUESDAY!!!

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

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!!!?????
