1 Month till Xmas day!!

WOOOHOOO, this year I'm looking forward to xmas sooooo much. I think Katie is brining out the Xmas spirit in me as I just so enjoyed doing xmas shopping and wrapping, and after my birthdya is passed this sunday, we are popping up our christmas tree, which is just the best event with squeels and delights from Katie! Can't wait!! My Xmas shopping is all done, lucky cause the shops are getting CRAZY busy ALREADY!

Katie got the most adorable shop from sister-in-law to be (they are getting married on the 6th of Dec ), the most brightest merriest hot pink polka dot dress!! So cute!! with matching shoes and hair goodies. So when we got a bored sitting around on Saturday we went out and did some fun photos in our backyard. I popped a sheet over the fence with some pegs and away I shot.


She got me to pose with her lol, there wasn't enough room for my legs as the sheet isn't all that big, so I was totally squashed and trying to avoid lying on my tummy, very uncomfy, but cute photo :)

And this is my FAV from the day, just sooooo cute! And she is actually looking at the camera!!
Can't wait to scrap this one :)


This is pretty cute too, totally fake smile, but at least she is smiling :)


I'm still trying to grow out her hair so I can pop them up in ponytails, but it seems that the more it grows the more it curls, so now it is kinda looking like an afro doh!!!


And two layouts to share with you all :) This is Katie and her best friend Sabrina enjoying a play with a dollhouse while the adult ladies were scrapping away and eating a heck of a lot of naughty food like Caramel slices, Cob and crackers and dips, hmmmmmmm really should do that again soon!! I had such an awesome day!!


And a layout for the Puzzle Sketches challenges, my first go ever, it was mega fun! Total mix and match of goodies here!! And can you believe that Heidi Swapp doesn't make or sell those tiny plastic alphas' anymore :( how very sad!

Well folks, I just got a commission from Creative Paper for a layout that is due in their office by NEXT week! So I need to go and get cracking! I'm very excited as I haven't tried to get published in Creative Paper yet, so getting asked it super duper cool!!! Have a good one!!

Oh Jolene, those photo's of you & the family are fantastic. I might have to do that idea of pegging up a sheet to do our xmas photographs. Very good idea indeed.
Loving all your creations, would dearly love to come for a visit to the store soon. Sorry didn't get to the class, working nights & needing zzzzzzz's doesn't help at times :(

HI Jolene, just came across your blog and love what I see. Your photoshoot turned out so well and I am inspired by your scrapping style. I am sure I will be back.

Oh, love those backyard photos! Can I send Alanna round, maybe she'll pose for you? All I get is her hand or her back!

What a cute layout of Sabrina and Katie - did we really eat that much naughty stuff? Can't remember!
