Busy Time

It has been a busy couple of weeks, both at work and at home.  Today I finnished a 14MB agenda for the second time, after word spat the dummy and lost some 20 embedded files.

The highlights from the last couple of weeks include Jodie’s Birthday, a couple of Crops at LSS, visit to Wendy’s house for lunch with some of the girls, Jacinta in the local Christmas parade with her cousins, and organising for Childcare Christmas Party.  Most important of all was the birth of Shazza and Jason’s little girl Ava on the 13th November.  The Girls, all did a double LO and gave it to her in a ready made Baby album ready for the photo’s to fo straight in.  She was very touched.  The cuddle photo above is from the day we gave Shazza the album on 23 Nov.   Jacinta has been talking about Ava lots since the visit.

 Here are some photo’s of my Princess “Cinteralla!”(not Cinderella) and the Parade. Miss Taylor was Snow White.  They had a wonderful time waving to the crowd. We caught the train so as not to hassel with parking.  Jacinta thought is was all part of the adventure of the day.  I am a bit disappointed with the photo’s from the day, only the little camera as I forgot Travis takes the SLR to the weddings.  I think there are still some cute ones.

 

Here are a couple of my recent LOs.  Elmo was for a Celebrity Challenge.

 

This LO is for the November Scrapjack.  I love how the LO turned out and I am loving this site. http://aussiescrapjack.blogspot.com/

  

I have so many Christmas presents on my list to make this LO may become a present for the MIL.

Layout for MIL

Thought I would upload this image.  It is a LO I did a couple of weeks ago for the MIL for her Birthday.  It is outside my comfort zone…… B/W Image.

Getting Ready for Christmas

Jacinta and I had a busy and fun weekend.  A phone call from my Mum Saturday morning to say the School near her had a Fete on. She could hear it in her back garden.   What was going to be a quick visit ended up be a very pleasant four hours.  A band, rides, stalls, silent auction, and face painting.  Jacinta spent much of the time dancing to the band all by herself. She is obsessed with Face painting, and was so excited when we found that stall.  Having to wait or turn seemed an eternity to her.  She has always wanted to have Spiderman face, but I am normally able to talk her into a butterfly, fairy or flower.  This time she there was not changing her mine.  She made a beautiful Spiderman; it even went well with her summer dress. Sunday we had a Surprise visit from Adam and Julie with their three young ones.  Great for Jacinta to have someone her own age to run around and jump on the Tramp with. Sunday afternoon Cara came over we scraped and chatted.  I made an Advent Calendar for Jacinta.  I love how it turned out.  She is learning numbers at the moment so it has two purposes. 

I made a list of all the present I what to make for Christmas.  It is long.  I have to Start NOW………………..
