Possibly the last post for 2008!

Gosh, where did the year go!!?


We are back from our Christmas break and we just had the most fun ever. We did tonnes of swimming, loads of coffee drinking and just taking it easy with walks on the beach etc. It was awesome, and it was brilliant to just enjoy family.

Christmas day was fun fun and Katie got spoilt rotten! I decided to put down the camera this year and opted for the video cam, so not alot of photos, but I did get these few which I can share.


Before I do, I have a few blog awards that I have received *smiling* and the first one i got was from Gayatri - Thanks so much!! What a gorgeous suprise and lovely warm up in my heart :)so for the award:
1.You have to pass it on to 5 other fabulous blogs.
2.You have to list 5 of your fabulous addictions.
3.On your post of receiving this award, make sure you include the person that gave you the award and link back to their blog.


My 5 addictions:

1. Scrapbooking - No suprise there really! hehe, but even after 3.5 years I'm still addicted to this fabulous craft and it takes up alot of my time in the form of work, reading magazines, creating for magazines, DT work and just plain old fun scrapping.

2. Reading - I spent almost as much time reading as scrapping, just adore loosing myself as well as loosing track of time while reading a really good book. Depending on the mood it would probably be a Romance, but I also enjoy Crimes and Fantasy.

3. Coffee - I just LOVE LOVE my coffee, even though I'm only drinking one or two most now that I'm pregnant, I still look forward to my coffee time of the day.

4. Movies - I love zoning out with a good movie and love getting out to cinemas :)

5. Spending quality time with Katie - just treasure the times that I can sit back and just enjoy being a mummy to a gorgeous happy girl, she keeps my heart merry and my face smiling, she is just so mega sweet and such a joy to have around.


I'm being naughty and not tagging anyone on this award, as my brain is fizzled after just getting back from holiday late this arvo, an early going to bed is in order I think :)

I'll leave you all with some holiday photos!! Enjoy the last few days of 2008!!

Merry Christmas from us!!

Well, this time of the year is just mega busy, we are heading up to the Sunshine Coast for a break in the next week, so thought now is a good time to say


'Merry Christmas!!!'

And just to leave you all in the xmas spirit, here are two layouts that I did recently. 'A Pregnant Xmas Angel'. I asked Katie to strike a pose and this is what I got hehe, total little miss copycat copying her mummy's pregnant poses lol.
Using one of the yummy KI Memories sheer papers, yummm!


And a Fancy pants Xmas layout, which is also the featured layout on twopeas http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/gallery/ wooohooooooooo.

I am sooooo looking forward to xmas, just love love it.

Will get to all my gorgeous awards that you precious girls have left to me after the silly season settles down a bit, thanks so much for all the awards!!

Have a happy and safe Christmas season!!

Just about Half Way!!

I'm just about half way preggers, actually cause it is a ceasarian birth I am more than halfway there :) But i'm feeling huge already and can't imagine growing for so many more months! I NEED to take another piccie this weekend of my growing belly. I have loads of strong kicks and tumbels and what nots happening, this is one active little baby! I am enjoying every single feeling of moment though!

I have ONE more week, till my 20 week scan. Next week this time we SHOULD know if this is going to be a little boy or girl!! How exciting!!!


I have been checking out online bub stores, I'm finding that the clothes are mega cute but I am just shocked at what some places charge for baby-wear!!! On my travels I found this AWESOME wall art, I so NEED one for Katie's bedroom! So cute!! Just sad it is quite a bit of money though :( Isn't it adorable!! By The Hip Infant

And I'll leave you with a layout of mine, I did this one for my friends BRAND SPANKING NEW Sketch blog, so if you love sketches, you NEED to go and check it out ;) A page from my sketchbook.
