Mega quick update today :)

I'm TIRED today, I had a fall over Katie's shoes last night, so ended up at the hospital for an hour while they checked on bubby, we only got back home at nearly 1am

Bubby is all good, midwife says she is an overactive little monkey I could have told her that with all the hours she is already keeping me awake at night.

Anyhows, so I'm all sore and ouchie today and just taking it easy!!

Of course Katie still got up at 6:45am today even though she was wide awake at the hospital and making sure the doctors are doing the right things to me, she is such a sweetie, but gosh she could have slept in just a little couldn't she haha.

A quick scrapbook share today, this one is a sample for the March sketch over at 'A page from my Sketchbook' challenge blog - clicky click here. A gorgeous fun sketch that you all can try!!

Just answering a quick question from Lea about my photos - just wondering what settings you took these shots with, what settings you normally use and are you self taught or have you done any photography courses/study?"

Lea - all self taught, I would give ANYTHING to be able to go to a handson workshop/course or even just follow a professional photographer around.
I have a Nikon D70, all my latest photos of Katie has been taken with a 50mm f/2.8 lens which I'm just LOVING and I usually take my photos in Aperture mode, hopefully I can start playing with full manual, but at the moment I'm focusing on my aperture settings and getting my whitebalance right :) And of course they have also all been edited in Photoshop afterwards :)


I can see that we are getting some of the edgings of Cyclone Hamish today, very windy outside and occasional rain pours, hoping that everyone stays safe during this cyclone and that it stays on its path or buggers off to sea hey!

Well our new Dora Books arrived, so I have been 'told' to read them, I'm soooooo relieved they are here, cause I'm sick to death of the other ones which I have read WAY too many times haha :) We get the Scholastic delivery, so two new books each month and she is just enjoying them so much!!

Till next time!
