2 weeks

till school holidays, yes I am counting down!! All this week the girls have been still asleep when I got up, unheard of, so I think they are definitely in need of a break, as am I :)

Today we went and had our sandwiches with Dave at work. Elizabeth and Lucy asked if we could go visit and were thrilled that we could. The afternoon we spent outside, I mucked about with the timer on my camera ;) liked this one, you can see the spider webs lol

Yesterday I, quickly, put together this page. Was inspired by the opening credits on a kids show, the secret show, so just had to get this on paper ;)

And then today I finished off this one for the new Scrapstars challenge. The choice was obvious to me lol

Just read through my email and Siska, thank you so much for leaving a comment, thank Barb for pointing you my way :) HUGE HUGS TO YOU ALL!!!!!!! Made me smile from the inside out reading your comments and wish I was there with you all just to give you the hug in person :) Miss you all so very much! Will leave you with this mornings sunrise, just a little piece of Tasmania for those missing home :)

I got chills

and their multiplying......

Ok now I have that song out of my head... nope it's still there...

Anyway getting out of my head and back to my blog...

Last night, seeing as there wasn't anything on telly for awhile, I scrapped my Scrap Mojo challenge page. You had to use one of the song titles from the movie Juno as your title and be inspired by one of the links they had on the mojo blog about Juno. So this is what I created :)


Journaling:
"On this subject of sleep, I think I need to talk awhile with you. When you were born you spent your first week in intensive care, under the glare of hospital lights. When we finally took you home you found it difficult to adjust to the night & day thing. To get you to sleep I would hold you, rock you and sing to you. As you got a little bigger I would put you in our bed & lay with you so you could sleep, I would have to hold your arms and face away from you though. When you were 18 months you decided sleep was not for you and I would get screamed at when I would put you to bed, was horrible. It wasn't till you were about 3 that you would stay in bed at night and we didn't have to sit outside your door. From about 5 you would say you didn't sleep and even now, at 9, you have a terrible time staying in bed long enough to go straight to sleep. I hope, one day, you find a way to relax and see how wonderful it is to... sleep."
Those that know Megan well know about the ummm issues we have with sleep lol
Speaking of sleep my two little at home girls had a sleep for me today. I just had to snap a photo just to remind myself that it does happen sometimes!!!

I don't think Elizabeth was truly asleep as she came out a few minutes after me and she didn't have that slept look lol
I also made this today, is for the first challenge over at Scrapstars. The challenge is to scrap the music of your life and include an album cover. So I snaffled up the Sanity catalogue, ripped out some album piccys and glued them on the cover.

The album is actually 6 pages and all of them with writing, hence only one photo and not all of them!! I won't rewrite the journaling as it is long, Dave read it and said "I didn't realise that I was going to read an essay". But the basics of it is that there are songs that have had the weird timing of being on the radio or in shops etc when life impacting things have happened. I talk about how I love all types of music.
I had fun with my hole punch, as you can see lol. Love that each page has holes in different spots and you can see through a little.
On the challenge front, there is a new one starting up called Aussie Scrap Music Blog. Looking forward to see what they have to offer as I think it's a brilliant idea!!!
