(Notice the front tooth missing!!!!) Wow!!! I can't believe I am the mother of a 7 year old!!! She just had a few friends over for a sleepover and they had a great time.....She got a new bike, one with gears!!!!
A couple of weeks later my baby turned 4!!!!!
Ella got lots of games and her own "Tendo!" which is actually a Leapster and a couple of games to go with that. This is her straight from bed hence the "Ferral" look!!
This is now the new look for Olvia and will be for at least 6 - 12 months according to the dentist!!!! Olivia already had one front tooth missing then one next to the other front tooth had to be pulled out due to a new abcess that had formed over the old one so the dentist advised to pull it since it was going to come out soon anyway...then the front tooth next to it was so wobbly but Liv wanted to wait until Dad came home to pull it out but it wasn't going to last that long so that same night Mum got up the courage and yanked it out !!!! The tooth fairy was very busy that night !!!!
We have teased her about the way she talks for about a week now we've got used to it!!! It was funny though!!!!
Then there was Dave's big 40th!!!! We just had a little BBQ and out for tea on the actual night.....Here he is ...can't believe I'm married to a 40 year old !!!LOL!!!
And then it was me 5 days later but no photos of me!!!!! Ha!
Very busy over the next few months so lots to post about ....stay tuned!!!!
Love E x
This is Dave and the girls only minutes after he arrived home from his 10 day trip to Melbourne to see the Moto GP at Phillip Island with Kenny and 9 , no make that 8 others!!! They lost a couple of riders this year!!!! Crashed and ended up in hospital so it's always wonderful to hear their bikes and see them turn that corner in our street!!!!! He also caught up with a few mates while he was down which is great.
I was supposed to have some me time while he was away and do some scrapping and I did a few LO's,
This is Ella at the Ekka this year ...we went for the first time and all Ella wanted to see was the pigs so she was pretty happy when she found this one !
This is Dave and the girls having a wonderful time at Moffat Beach one afternoon .....looking for crabs....This was in August.
I actually did a few other things instead of scrapping like putting in a new sprinkler system along the side fence and painted the bathroom and the jetty railing!!! I also scanned in over 1000 older photos , which is a bit of a job because we have thousands and thousands of pre-digital pics but it will be so worth it in the end! So I just do a little bit here and there and we'll get there eventually!
Also had Ella's 4th birthday last Wednesday so will share some pics of that soon,......It's also Dave's 40th birthday on Tuesday and then mine on the 19th. Then Birthday season is over !!!!
Will post again soon ....have a great week!
Love E x
This is one I did about the Ekka which we went to for the first time this year....I love this photo of Dave and the girls and am quite pleased with how the LO turned out too! The girls and us had an absolute ball at the Ekka......spent a fortune but it was well worth it to see the joy on their faces and we won't do it every year!
Thought I'd upload these two layouts that were in the last issue of Scrapbook Creations...they are very old layouts (about a year old and I don't do it like this anymore, I mean I'd do it like that but just add more interest and stitching or something LOL!) and the photography was shocking that they did of them. It was a feature article too called "Artist in the Spotlight" no photo of me and I had to answer some questions for them, don't you hate it when your read back on stuff you have written and it sounds so dicky!!! This was sent in about 6 months ago and I had forgotten all about it until the magazine arrived in the mail. I had another 3 accepted last week too (Woo Hoo!!) so you'll have to wait about another 6 months or so to see them I suppose!
I had the pleasure on Friday meet Leanne from The Boxx, she lives near me and has just joined the site so we decided to meet! She has a wonderful family, the kids got on well in the playground at McDonalds and she is a lovely, lovely person!! I'm sure we'll meet again soon (without the kids so we can chat more and not be distracted LOL!)
Like the new hairdo? I finally went back to having a fringe so I can put it up without looking like a dork and it will be more comfortable for Summer! Speaking of summer it got to 35c here in Brissie today! Not looking forward to the heat again. Took the girls to the beach with Mum today while I did the groceries then I took them back some lunch...so HOT!
Off to see Emily and Maizie tomorrow in their new house , haven't seen them for 4 months now so looking forward to that.........
Well that's it for now...mammoth first blog post! I'm off to do some scrapping!
Next time I'll put some photo's of the girls up for you to see!
Night
Love E x
Here are a few layouts I've done lately.......
This LO is from a challenge at The Boxx from a Treasure Swap we did. All this lovely stuff I received from Tam except the papers and the alphas. Didn't she co-ordinate it well!
