Ooops.. need to post more !

Hi There !

Its been a while hasnt it?
I really dont like to go this long without a post.. but life has gotten in the way.


Grr...
Its getting harder to try and do so many things lately!
For those of you who are wondering why i take so long to get things done its this !

1. A little 2 year old princess who wants EVERYTHING NOW!

2. An 11 mth who is just starting to crawl and pull himself around and is NOW into EVERYTHING! LOL!

Those are the MAIN reasons like any mum i am not getting much done! LOL !
Not much to share in scrapping just yet, but be on the lookout as there is things coming up !
We are having our first CC at Challenge Heaven, we hope you can come along and support us !

another day another share :)

Hi !

Well i have another share today.

Just a random just because. I have decided to do more "me" layouts!
Not for a dt not for a theme, not for a challenge site, but just because i want to.

Here it is :)

Dawson at Play.

This year is all about organisation for me.
I am not trying to just organise the household but my personal time too.
Do u ever feel like its getting all too much ?
Well it can be here testing days and the like - the kids can be terrors at times like most peoples but then, i think how lucky i am to have them at all and i know that these stages pass.
Then i look at the photos i scrap of my kids and i fall in love with them all over again.

We have been hit with an icy blast here today. But thats melbourne weather for ya !
Poor kids theyre so bored..hopefully we can get out on the weekend.

On other news i have left my old job and now have an interview tommorrow.. wish me luck.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I'm Back !!!!!!!

Hi Ya !
Happy New Year !

I am so excited to be here in 2012. Finally!!
Its been a quiet one this year as we have needed the rest really after a very busy December.

So.. whats everyone been up to ? We didnt do that much over the break but we had some fun anyway with the kids.

Heres  just a snippet... of December..
Darrels Cousin Nicki came over from England to visit us...

Maddy, Mackenzie, Trinity and Madeline.

Trinitys birthday cake we took to Gmas and Gpas..Yumm!

Loves upsy daisy at the moment !



So we have a little bit of fun. It is always hard in December for us. Such a busy month and to top it off i had a computer breakdown too. So i am now typing on the new laptop Darrel and i brought for ourselves.
Its been great and we love it. Still able to use the old one, just in limited blocks though.

She provided the dt with some gorgeous buttons that are so cute and suited our theme so please go along and check out the site. While youre there also have a look at the Dt blogs they are such a talented group of ladies.

I have been inspired by Becci from Beccis Domestic Bliss to get organised this year and trying to follow her lead of doing different things.. to be more organised etc.. she has loads of ideas, check them out !!!!

Closie.. :)

Then i had wanted to do sues one word challenge over at Scrapbooking Top 50.. so heres my take on her word..  TIME.
The criteria was to have a clock, check, the word time, check, and white cs.. check. !!

Dawson loves these rings and uses them as teethers.. so cute..

Lots of scrapping to get through before Darrels cousin arrives from england next weekend.. cant wait.. its gonna be one very busy week !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But i love it and i am really happy with my layouts of late, they are coming together really easily.
Must run, have a photo shoot with a gf who is taking family shots of us tommorrow.....maybe i should get Darrel to dress up as Santa??? LOL !! I think there would be alot of people prepared to pay money for that one..
Hope the weather isnt too Blah !
Enjoy the weekend !!
