HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

I hope the Dad of your house is having a really great day!!! Our day started out with the Daddy of the house being pampered with breaky etc ... only to end up with more work being done on the never-ending renovations ... of course the weather is good today so we 'may as well get stuck into it' ... so there went all the idea's of really letting him put his feet up!!!! At the moment the kitchen lino is being ripped up to make way for the tiling ... which will come at a MUCH MUCH later date ...

Anyway, I made these clocks ... one for Phil from the kids, and also one for my Dad. Phil just LOVES his - haven't seen Dad yet so he'll get his later on ...

This end of the year is our busy Birthday end of the year! Nick is 12 this Wednesday which is just so scary that my baby is that grown up! We found out on Friday he has been able to get into the High School all his friends will be going to which is great because it's out-of-area for us so we had to apply. He's been so worried about it and so was able to have a much happier weekend! Anyway, he had a few mates over yesterday and off to the movies they went before coming home and creating havoc here!!!! Gorgeous Leisa has given me Wed night off so we'll have a family dinner that night. Although it's of his choice so who knows what we'll end up having!

Then in 2 weeks we have our baby of the house turning 6 .... sob sob!!! She's having a GYM party this year with a heap of her Kindy friends so I made invites this week. They are SUPER basic but I put a sparkly butterfly on each one and they looked so pretty all lined up drying away .. I had to take a photo ... doesn't really show how pretty they are though ... I'm sure all the boys just loved them!!! LOL ... Immi said there was glitter EVERYWHERE when they opened them! The Mum's would be loving me!!!!!

I know I've been a very bad blogger recently and I'm not sure if anyone other than Donna looks here anymore, but I will try to be better from now on!!!! LOL yeah sure!!!!!!!

I haven't been able to do a LOT of scrapping lately with quiet a few trips to Sydney for Taylah for Dr appointments but it was so good to do Immi's invites, invites for Donna and creating the clocks that I'm busting to get into it again! I have more photo's than I know what to do with so I'll have to get into them!

Better go help the Daddy of the house!!!!! Love and Hugs xo

Loooong weekend ....

I hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend ... despite the weather! We are 2 children down for the weekend so it's a quiet house here for us!!!!!!!

This is a quick card I threw together for a good friend wh recently had a b'day. I love the Sasafrass range of papers and have used them quiet a bit.

Enjoy the weekend and TLF ... Love Me xo

Just a quick LO .....

I really love this photo of Immi with our baby God-Daughter. Immi just loved having a little one in the house to play with for a week while they stayed with us ... being the baby in our family and the baby out of most of our friends, she hasn't had a lot of time with little ones and thought Victoria was her own little doll to play with! The noteworthy flowers and die-cuts made it a really easy and quick LO to put together!

It's Raining, It's Pouring ....

Wow ... this weather is amazing ... it's been raining all morning and not looking like it is going to let up at all ... I hope it's not wet for the long weekend ... I haven't even looked at the weather forecast ... do I really want to???

These are just a couple of 'quick' cards I threw together recently ... I just loved this Winnie the Pooh verse from the Dreamstreet collection ...

Hope everyone has a fabulous long weekend ... and stays dry!

TFL ... Hel xo

Over at the Scrapsidaisy Forum Jules set another LO challenge and this is what I came up with for week 6 ... I'm only 2 weeks behind now!!!!!!! You can't really tell in this photo but I've cut out matching circles and raised them on the PP ... not sure about my hand-writing ... I always have 'issues' with it! But I love these photo's of Tay and Immi at Old Bar ... Tay was wearing an old pair of my sunnies which were waaaaayyy too big for her but she loves them! Once of those occasions where the girls were actually getting along ... which is happening much more frequently these days!

Hope whoever is still looking here is well ... I'm not enjoying this colder weather we've suddenly got after such gorgeous sunny days! Ah well it is winter and we've been spoilt with the gorgeous weather really.

TFL ... Love Hel xo

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!!!!!

Well, I hope all the Mum's I know had a fabulous day on Sunday for Mother's Day. I really did have a great day ... I think one of the best yet! The kids had made all sorts of goodies for me at school which were the best presents out of the mountain of gifts I got from them! Nothing beats what they have made themselves! That said though, I have yet to receive Nick's because he keeps leaving it at school! Oh well ... he's a boy and I guess this is what they do!!!!!!! Here are a couple of goodies I made the Grandparents this year ... Phil's Mum, my Mum and my Nan.

Like a lot of people, I always give the Grandparents photo's of the kids for Mother's Day and Xmas ... this year our school photo's were back in time to give out so I made this hanger for my Nan .....
