{Happy Mothers Day!!}

*edited* Here is Mia's mothers day present that she made at pre-school, when I picked her up on Thursday she wanted to give it too me then.... so cute, I told her to come home and hide it and I would tell her when it was time to give it too me!!

It was all wrapped up using a painting she did and a flower that they made, I should have taken a photo of it wrapped.

It has a magnet on the back so it is up on the fridge.




This is what I got for Mothers Day, 2 beautiful cards and breakfast in bed, ( & I brought myself a new scrapbooking album yesterday) *giggle* The girls wouldn't be co-operative this morning so these are the best photos Dad got!!!

Happy Mothers Day to my Mum & to Salty's Mum hope you both have a great day... My mum is over in NZ with Nana & Grandad so I am sure they will be having a lovely day together & Kay is with her Daughter in Brisbane so they will be able to celebrate Kristal's first mothers day together so that will be nice too!

I was trying to find some of Mia's winter clothes this morning she doesn't really have a lot of around the house trackies this season so I was looking to see if any of last years would fit her and found her poncho's (Leah's mum Janet knitted this for Mia 2 winters ago) & Brie who we all know doesn't like to miss out on anything sat there grunting at me until I put it on her..... she looked very cute in it, she must like the feather trim as she snuggled right into it when I first put it on her.

Here is a photo of Mia posing as captain feathersword.

Not much else happening here today Salt had to work so we are just going to stay home and be lazy with this cooler weather.

My friend Kellie is in labour with her fast baby, how nice for her lets hope she has a nice easy labour and the baby comes on mothers day!! I will let you know when the baby arrives.

Happy Mothers Day everyone.

{Baby Alexander}

I have just been emailed some more cute photos of my little nephew Alexander he is so cute, Kristal is a very good photographer and should become a scrapbooker with these great hand and foot shots.

How good does Kristal look after just having a baby, Alexander is 4 weeks old in these photo's wow that month has flown!!

{Middle of the Night Scrapping}

Some silly person woke up at 2.30 this morning cause she couldn't sleep!!!
This is what I created.

{Today}

Hi everybody,

I received my Design Team pack in the mail yesterday, in all the excitement I forgot about winning one of the challenges so when I got 2 lots of Happy Mail from Forever Always it was extra exciting. So the pressure is on now to create something special...... *hehehehe* I went and got some photos printed to use but as I have girls I am finding it really hard to match the photo's to the papers as the papers are red and the girls wear alot of pink!! Anyway it is all good fun & I have 2 LO's completed already and one sitting on my desk half way there.

I also received my RAK from Narelle that I won a few weeks ago so I can't wait to use all of the great stuff that she sent..... Thanks Narelle your very generous.

Totally off the subject my lower back has been really sore since Sunday I am starting to wonder if is because I sit in front of this computer too much...

Mia is better, but hasn't gone to bed yet she is too busy eating Nutragrain - all that not eating has caught up with her and she hasn't stopped eating tonight, I think it is a ploy to not have to go to bed!

Brie has not been a happy camper for the last 2 nights either I think I am going to blame the Yummy Choccy Cake that Kerry made for us on Wednesday, she wouldn't go to bed last night and when she finally did she woke up about 20mins later screaming and had to be rocked back to sleep, she then woke at 12 & 4 for a feed (well that is what puts her back to sleep anyway). Tonight she screamed for about 20mins before even going to sleep!!!! grrrr normally she is soooo good when I put her to bed.

We went for a bike ride this arvo I needed some exercise, & the girls needed to get out of the house. They look so cute sitting there with their helmets on, they both fell asleep which looked even cuter. .

My mum is heading over to NZ to see Nana & Grandad tomorrow I think - I know she will be there for mothers day anyway, Have a nice holiday MUM.

Well not much else to share - Monique I hope the red wine is doing the trick!!!

Have a good weekend,

Amie

{Check This Out !!!}

Skye & I have spoken about only trying to use the middle of the cardstock iykwim.... Skye entered a LO in the show and it reminded me to try it so here is mine.

{Poor Little Mia}

Poor Little Mia is sick today, last week I noticed her 2 year old molars were coming through at 3 years of age which I thought was funny.... Anyway she was quite upset all morning and cried at the drop of a hat which isn't like Mia at all. When we came home from Leah's she went into my bed to have a sleep and then she woke up at about 2.30 saying her belly was sore & she wanted medicine, I took her temp and it was 38.9 so I gave her the last drop (literally) of Nurofen that was in the house & she laid there I thought she was going to vomit so I raced to get a bucket and she told me "NOOO YOU go and scrapbook" LOL that was what I was doing when she woke up...... anyway so I went back into my scrapbook room and when I came out this is how I found her.

She stayed like this for about another 1/2 hr and then Brie woke up and decided she would wake Mia up too, so we headed down to the chemist to get some more Nurofen and now she seems alot better and has even had something to eat. I just love Nurofen.

I forgot to mention that Mia won First Prize at the show for Childrens Best Pumpkin!!

Have a good night all,

Amie

The Nyngan Show

Well Mia has had a great day at the Nyngan Show as you can see from the photo's she went on everything she could possibly go on, wanted to go on the bigger rides just stood there staring at them wanting me to let her go on them

.... thank god she wasn't tall enough next year is going to be a different story!!

The scrapbooking section was displayed beautifully, Narelle & Monique did a great job. I did really well 3 firsts, a second & a third & 3 highly commended and a special mention Nyngan Scrapbooking Champion (in other words close but badluck) for not winning the scrapbooking champion which I thought was a load of shit, so out of 9 entries 8 little cards to bring home is pretty good I suppose. It isn't judged on how many first places you get it is judged on the best LO or OTP apparently which is why I got a special mention as it was between Monique's LO and Mine..... Congratulations Monique on winning. I don't envy the judges job as everyones work was great. So I have lots and lots of ribbons to collect tomorrow afternoon.

We have just come home to give Brie her dinner and then we are heading back out for the fireworks.

There is also a photo of Brie walking sort-of today she has walked alot I would say by next week she won't even be crawling.

My Challenge for the Craft Shop

I have finally finished my canvas for the May Craft Shop Challenge.

I haven't missed the 'a' in the last para of the quote there wasn't one in it.

Amie

Good Morning....

Good morning all,

Well my little question yesterday got lots of comments, Nic one of my best friends left a comment asking why I leave them in as she is not a scrapbooker so I thought I would ask why?

I leave them in bc I obviously saw it in a magazine or on someones work I admired & liked how it looked!! Now I don't seem to be able to take them out. LOL

Well I have been up with the sparrows this morning Brie woke up just b4 6am and I fed her and put her back to bed, then I couldn't get back to sleep! I thought I would get up and clean b4 they all wake up and make another mess. Now Mia is up, I was going to fit some scrapping in as well - maybe I can put the TV on and sneak in there.......

Here are my little spudkids 2 cute, I took these on Thursday while they were playing in my potato drawer(sp).

Salt is playing Union today I really don't want him to play I think he is getting too old and they won the gf last year I think he should leave on a high..... but he doesn't want listen too me.

I made a DVD of photos for all our family members who don't live in Nyngan (pretty much everyone except Salts mum & dad) 165 photo over the last 6 months. I put 5 Tim McGraw songs to it and I am really happy with it. I sent Nana &Grandad in NZ one for christmas and he rang up nearly crying he was that happy watching it.... I was the favorite granddaughter that day *giggle*

Being National Scrapbooking day today I am hoping to get some scrapping done today I even cleaned up my room last night so I could focus

& be in the ZONE LMAO... it didn't work I went to bed instead... Leah thats where I was when you rang!

Have a good day everybody.

Why Don't we Punch out the Middle of the Letters???

I don't know why we don't..... I don't as I have seen others leave them in...... All you scrappers let me know why we leave them in!

May Sketch Share

Here is my May Sketch Challenge

for Forever Always.

Yesterday was fun Brie & Mia both enjoyed Dorothy's Dance Party. I didn't manage to get a photo of Mia as she was too far away and they were blurry.

I got a new King Size Bed - I didn't think Salt would really buy me one (I was prepared to throw a tanty in the shop if he didn't) So it should be here in about 2 weeks.

Thanks everyone for your lovely comments on my exciting news.

I was looking in Mia's mouth the other day for some reason and she is getting her 2 year molars at 3 I thought that was funny, not that they are giving her any problems she said they aren't hurting her.

Mia is at preschool this morning and Brie is a bit lost without her so I have let her go and play in Mia's room it is keeping her quiet for a while... *giggle*

Have a good day everybody!!!

I'M SOOOOO EXCITED........

GUESS WHAT?????













































I have been asked to be the GUEST DESIGNER

I am soooo excited I can't wait. It is a huge compliment that Sonia and the DT like my work enough to ask me.... I am just off to start the May Sketch, you all should give it ago, you might be lucky enough to win a $25.00 voucher.

We are off to see Dorothy the Dinosaur in Dubbo this morning - this is why I am up so early & after reading the exciting email I couldn't go back to sleep.
