Sorry ... Still here ... just having fun



Thanks to everyone who have been worrying about me!  It has been ages since I updated this little blog, but my only exscuse is just having fun with life!  I did loose internet access for a week, and then my laptop died on me and it took about 2 weeks to get a new one, but really I have just been having fun with sewing and other things.  So still here and perfectly fine!! :)

Here are some photos of my little family!  Now if only I could get all of us onto one photo that would be awesomeness!  But considering that I can't even get a decent photo of my two girls I won't even attempt it haha!!!

Little sweet Lily-belle!  She is the ultimate climber!!  She drives me insane as I have to watch her every single move!  Her recent discovery is climbing onto the TV cabinet and then walking back and forth in front of my flatscreen tv until making a jump over onto the white couch!  Gives me heartattacks every time!  But she is a sweetheart, a cheeky sweetheart, but a sweetheart none the less!


This little girl is just growing up so fast!  I'm finding amusement in her vocabulary, don't know where she learns all these big words!  She is a brilliant sister though and most of the time a super great helper for me, she is a good kid with such a soft heart!  She is having trouble at kindy with friends and it just breaks her heart.  I love that she has a soft little heart, even though it is terrible to be helpless when it breaks :(

AND this is a little self portrait!  Love the little remotes for cameras and seriously only about $12 from ebay I think it was!!  Looking better than one year ago this time??  Yep I have been a single girl for more than a year by now!  Unbelievable really, but so glad i'm in the now and not in a year ago!!


And seeing as I know most of you are here for scrappy reasons ;)  I have one I can share! This one was published in the current Scrapbook Creations!  it comes with a step by step of how to create those muslin lollipop flowers!  So if you like the look of them, go and buy this months SC to learn how to play with muslin and sprays!


In other news I am ultra lucky to be on the exclusive design team for a new Australian Scrapbook Magazine - Australian Scrapbook Ideas was launched at the show over the weekend!  Many of you might already have a copy in your hands, the rest of you will need to wait till it hits the stands in the newsagencies!  This mag is different to the rest, it aims at providing you with step by steps and technique hints.  It also has a design team call on atm, so if you want to join a team of great gals, buy the mag and get the details and have a go!!!

I better get Lily organised for her nap and get to work here.  Thanks so much for the emails/messages/comments of concern, they made me full of warm fuzzies!!!  On the same note, when I lost internet access I had to change email providers, so if you have sent me an email and didn't get a reply that would be why!  I have a new email addy ;)

Have a gorgeous rest of the week!!

Hi Jolene!
Whew!! I am so glad, all is well with you and your beauties! Time DOES heal, and moves on--seems like you (me) are slogging through swamplands at times, and when you get through it, it really does go fast.
Congradulations on your great success!
