Here’s Looking At You Kid!

She got all her stars again this week
Now we, Elizabeth and I, need to find something to bake because she has it in her head that her reward is cooking something together, seems no one else minds!

Last night Dave had to attend a work function, a black tie dinner, and the lovely Allison and her Mum, better known around here as Rosie Posie, decided to come over for a scrap night
So it was all actions go after a busy day
I completed these 2 pages between nattering :)

this one is “a page and a third” it’s 15x12
I was inspired by Louise Nelson’s double page with a difference :)

I used a butterfly that Lucy made at pre kinder and stitched around it

Then I added the journaling around the edge, journaling about how she starts Kinder next year and that I hope she settles in ok, enjoys every aspect of kinder, makes friends and adjusts to having lots of people around

and this 8.5x11 page, using my balloon photo cos i like it :)

This morning we only had one soccer game to attend
Jessica’s was forfeited because the other team had so many people away sick and couldn’t get the numbers for a team
Dave’s out at the first of his weekend games, playing 2 this weekend, and us girls are about to take Megan to a birthday party

  5. I just love the pic of Elizabeth and so glad to hear that she got all her stars this week!!! Love the LO with the art work and the size is amazing!!!!! Oh....the balloon pic is one of my favorites....and you did a fine job with it!!!! Sounds like a busy soccer weekend. Evan just started his practice season for soccer and it my favorite sport. He was moved up in age group and no his is the little fish in the big pond and seems a bit intimidated this year....He will be 7 is September and was the KING of his team last year!!!! His coach is not the greatest either....we wanted the other coach....but did not get him!!!!! Wishing you a wonderful weekend...filled with smiles!!!! :)

  6. Yay, Elizabeth. I love seeing all of your success. You are so lucky to have a mummy who will cook and bake with you. Keep up the great work.

    Hey, Sharmaine, I remember those days when we would look for the smiley when Cait came home from school each day. I love seeing such a proactive family. It will continue to get better.
