oh and did you see this?

the numbers are the left over part of a rub on by Glitz Design
had it for a long time, waiting waiting waiting

ahhh
ummm
yeah…
ok…
Right…
I’m tired

Long day to be tired
Lots a hap-hap-happenin’
Last night Dave was out, with his Dad, for Uncle Samuel’s bucks night
They got home after midnight
I had one of those nights
Didn’t sleep well
Hence the lack of sleep
And hence the tiredness
Today Elizabeth and Lucy had birthday parties to attend, different ones,
and what do you do when you have 2 down??
Get 2 more lol
So Megan and Jessica had friends over, for a while
We made some chocolate muffins
Added some marshmallows and milky way chocolates
Leftovers from last weekends party

Hoping for soak in the bath and an early night
A new week is about to start
Another big week
Need sleep

The Beating Of Our Hearts Is The Only Sound

and Aussie Scrap Source Page maps sketch for week 3
for the single page layout…
Here is my take

using this sketch

and I have to say
I loved making this layout
and it is now my favourite

I used mostly October Afternoon products

and just had to use these smiley face stickers that were part of the Report Card range

and my all time favourite Such Sweet Tierney buttons
which I highlighted with my black sharpie pen

Today we spent the morning at our local market
Spent time with my sister and her girls
Was good
GOOD
GOOD
GOOD
Lots to see

splashed out and bought some poppys

and have a few sitting on my kitchen window sill

Did a little clothes shopping for Megan

which makes her happy
and makes me happy because she likes to dress up for photos

Let’s Play House Instead

Aussie Scrap Source are sharing some Page Map sketches over on their blog
I thought I would give some a go
I wanted to do week one but haven’t had time till now, week three
Here is my take for the double page sketch

Here is the sketch

I altered it a little
Making it 2 8.5x11 instead of 12x12
I squished it a little too
Loved that the sketch made doing a double page layout a breeze!
Some close ups

Love the doily border stamp from Banana Frog
I used Cosmo Cricket products for the page

and a little other stuff
Like some Jenni Bowlin

and some Making Memories packaging

love me some bakers twine

Oh and I like me some typewritten (huh?!) journaling on a tag   

The day has been a sunny one
We took the girls for a walk after dinner
Around the block
The BIG block
Looking forward to long summer days
Long summer HOLIDAY days

Happiness Hit Her Like A Train On A Track

Over the September school holidays we looked after my sister’s kitten and puppy
Thought each was worthy of their own layout
So today I had a play with one of the Pencil Lines sketches 
I really liked the sketch in this post, even though the challenge deadline has passed I gave it a go anyway

a little woodgrain contact paper

Some doodling
Some cut up bits and pieces

and a cute puppy dog

which was on a ‘packed by’ card from Studio Calico

Love Is A Swimming Pool With No Bottom

This morning I spent a little time at the pool
Watching the Inter Primary School Swimming Carnival
Watching Miss Miggy Wiggy
Watching Megan come third in her 25m freestyle race

Very proud of this little chickadee!

If Life Won’t Wait Then I Guess It’s Up To Me

Been a busy few days
Dave’s Mum was here
Visiting and preparing for her future daughter-in-law’s pre-wedding kitchen tea party
The girls just lapped up all of it
They loved being able to help out
Loved having Grandma here
Loved the party
Loved all the visitors
Did I mention they loved having Grandma here??!!!
No surprises that I took a few scrap-able photos
And today I started scrapping some of them
Starting with this one :)

See the bubble tree??
It’s from Leeann’s “The Chip Chop Shop” on Etsy
I backed it with some scrap cardstock and added some Kaiser pearls

Still high on Swiss Cheese *grin*

and stitching :)

and journaling is like cream on cake… a necessary :)

So there
Have made a start on the photos
You will just have to follow as they get scrapped, which I hope won’t take me too long :) :) :)
