Time to Share....


I have a little bit of time before I need to head off to a prep information night so Ithought I would quickly add some new creations on here.

Firstly I would like to thank all the girls in Portland who attended my class on the weekend. You all did an amazing job of your canvases. Thanks for making me feel welcome! Thanks Sandra for having me!

Here is a little gift I made for our friends' daughter Victoria. She is an amazing girl who has the best repoire with kids......my kids love her! This photo was taken at Maya's second birthday where Victoria did an amazing job of entertaining my children and my two nieces. I made here this small canvas as a thankyou gift...I added this photo but i made it so that she could keep changing the photo on it. I hope she liked it!!!




Here is a sneak peek of my layout I did with my first SCRAPAPPLE KIT...... I was so lucky as I received paper and embellishments fromone of my favourite designers Teresa Collins Designs.

MY BIG SCHOOL BOY.......

It is so hard for me to digest....I have a child at school! Seriously, where do the years go?

Will started school on Tuesday......he was SO excited!!!! He looks so grown up in his uniform and he is so proud when he wears it. He's been wanting toast for breakfast instead of cereal in case he spills somethingon his uniform! Here are some piccies....


He was so funny.....after being at school only one day the next morning we pull up outside school and he says.."see-ya mum..." I can go in by myself..... "I still love ya though!"

Thats so sweet. At least he is feeling confident and happy!!!

Here is my latest layout. Will got his own digi camera for christmas and boy does he love it!! He's always got it out taking photos......I wonder where he gets that from??!!!

He tells everyone to say "Smelly monkeys..." to make them smile. We have some lovely photos of our doors......and our floors....and many unsuspecting victims!!!!
