Happy Birthday Tamika

It was Tamika's birthday last thursday and she had a party on Saturday. Just a small party with four friends, herself and Caitlin. They made there own lolly bags and played pass the slipper and had a treasure hunt. A good time was had by all. Tamika got lots a great stuff and she got to wear her party dress that mum made.


We have been busy the last few weekends with everything really. The cottages, the cleaning, the house , the kids - I suppose life in general has been busy. At least the school holidays are nearly here and Tamika can have a big rest she is getting pretty tired from School which also means very grumpy and sulky. A good rest is what she needs.

Chat again soon

More ME TIME

I need another day on the week for 'me time'. (What mum doesn't). I am going away in October who NO KIDS. I cant wait. Only five weeks to go and that means only 5 more saturdays. I am leaving friday and coming home sunday afternoon. So have to start training DH to look after Christian. He's opinion " I am untrainable" lol

I tried to sew a pencil roll.For those who are wondering here is a link for the pencil roll http://pinkchalkstudio.com/blog/2007/03/23/teaching/ What a disaster. I made it too short so the pencils don't fit. Better luck next time.

I have finished Alison album and she loves it which is great. I am now starting glen and mine's wedding album. Hoping to get it done my our 10th wedding anniversary which is next march. Doesn't time fly when you are having fun. lol

Next birthday is Tamika's 6th. She is having a craft party so off to spotlight for supplies. What a shame I have to go to spotlight. ;). Will let you know how it goes.

Caitlin turns 3

A lot has happened since my last entry. (It has been nearly three months) Caitlin turn 3 and mum gave her a party in a box. She had a great time with the party and watching the new barbie movie 'Maraposa'. (I think)


Caitlin has been enrolled in school for next year. She is so excited. "After Christmas" she keeps saying because that is what we have told her.

Glen got me this great shelf for my scrapbooking room and I have only just sorted out all of my stuff. It is fantastic.

I went to my first "ME TIME" on monday. This is down at the community centre - it cost $10 and this includes creche for three hours. We made notice boards and then made more for home. They are so easy. All you need is a staple gun, material, wood, waddingand ribbon. It takes about 15min to make when you know what you are doing. So dont be surprised if your kids end up with them for Christmas this year. I am planning on making some more for the cottages.
I have also learnt how to make pillowcases but for some reason I cant find my good scissors or my pins. Another big project is recovering a couch for #4. That one might take a while as I need about 12m (at least) of material.

Two big news from us:-
1) Christian is walking. He has been doing that for a few weeks now and never really had the learning to walk thing just got up and went. He is so clever my little man.
2) We now have a linen services - which means no more washing cottage sheets. YIPEE.

Speck again soon.

Christian turnes one

Hello all. A lot has happened over the past few weeks. My little man has turned one and Caitlin is about to turn three on sunday. Tamika lost her first tooth and the second is nearly ready to fall out also. Not much is happening in the way of scrapbooking but that is all about to change since I have ordered some new photos. Here are some photos and one layouts. More to follow soon.



Check out the photo of Tamika - she had a pj day at school. I really like the photo, no cheesey smile.



Catch up soon.

Handmade Easter Cards

Here are some cards I have been making. The easter ones were made for the people staying with us during easter with a little box of easter eggs. (From the easter bunny of course).


Have started making a lot of my cards now using all the scraps from scrapbooking.
