Back to the Real World
Well.. today is "D" day.. or should I say "S" Day...lol...
life as we know it has gone back to a new kind of normality..
School Holidays are over and we get back into the swing of things for 2009.
This year though things are a little different and new routines need to be sorted out. With our newest addition the morning mayhem hopefully should get smoothed out fairly quickly... well... I can hope can't I...lol...lol...
Jhane has started back at school today nice and early with school crossing monitor duty. I have never seen her get ready for school so quickly before. By 7.45 she was ready to leave and I had to let her know it was too early. Not sure if this getting ready early thing will last long though.
Nate has one day more before he starts school. He is enjoying the last time he can watch ABC kids and has super glued his bottom in front of the television 'cause it is so hot outside today (39 here down south). Will get him away from the television shortly to take some photos of him in his school uniform. I want to take a few in an unstressed state .. me not him as I am already seeing that the first day will perhaps be a little crazy getting everyone ready on time... IYKWIM...lol..Think it will take a few weeks to get us all sorted into some sort of routine. Just need to remember to take a deep breath and count to 10..lol...lol...
Okay better go... a gazillion things to do while Kiah is snoozing.. and Tarryn is due for a feed about now too.
Catch up again later..

Fiskars "Family Fun Day" Crop Wrap Up !
Wow.. what a day... I am feeling a little tired and all, but what fun we had.. as usual. It was so much fun to get back into the swing of things with our first crop here in Adelaide for Fiskars in 2009.
Unfortunately due to the horrible heat here, 42 degrees, we did get a few cancellations at the last minute.. but the girls that did make the day had so much fun creating with some amazing Fiskars products we had to play with.
Thanks again to Fiskars Head Office and all the help I got from Lyn and Trea in making these crop days work. Without them they wouldn't be as bigger success as they are. Thanks to the lovely ladies who braved the heat to help make this day a fun one for me also. Lastly thanks to my darling husband who battled the heat, kept our four kids entertained or the day and helped where he could with the crop.
So here's a lok at what we created today:
Card 1 - Thank you
Card 2 - Hi
Card 3 - Special Delivery Girl
Card 4 - With Love
Card 5 - Special Delivery Boy
Card 6 - Hugs and Kisses
Woodland - Family Mini Layer Album
Vineyard - Family Mini Layer Album
Love Blossoms - Family Mini Layer Album
TFL... keep your eyes peeled for details of the next crop here in Adelaide.... Fiskars Easter Eggstravaganza on March the 28th.
Cheers, M x

A quick pic just because I can...
Okay... have had many emails asking to see a recent picture of our new addition. So thought I had better update you all.
Spent the morning two days ago armed with the camera and a cheery baby so was able to get a gazillion photos taken... lol... Ahhh the joys of digital cameras and being able to take multi shots in a row....Now to find the time to scrap some of the good ones. Still need to get a layout done of Tarryn as yet... have sorted photos in a file on the computer to play with and scrap.. just haven't gotten any further.
Okay.. enough dribble.... here she is:
And "YES" she is as "dreamy" as she looks. I true pleasure to have around. She tolerates the noisy hoard here well, eats like a horse, and sleeps for 4 -5 hours at a times during the night... what more could we ask for.
Better go and feed her now.

More scrap time found !
Manage to get some scrapping done in this mad house...lol...
Gave the Week 2 challenge at D2U Scrapbooking a go. Had heaps of fun playing with this... Wanted to try making some tissue paper flowers that I had seen. They were heaps of fun to do and sooo much easier that I had thought they would be. Must give them a go again for sure.
So here is what the challenge for this week was and what I did with it:
1. Use monochromatic colour scheme - chose to go with a coral red colour.
2. Use 4 or more different patterned paper - Used the American craft monotones range for 3 of them and then stamped my own patterned paper for the 4th onto an American Crafts base colour.
3. Make a handmade embellishment to use on your layout - My take on tissue paper flowers that Steph Casey Devlin has made. Added some ink and Kindy glitz to give it that bit extra.
4. Use only one word for your title - Eat !
Here is my Layout - Eat !:
Close up of the flowers I made:
Don't forget the closing date for this challenge is Thursday 22nd.. So why not give it a go. Head over to the D2U Gallery to see what everyone has come up with so far. There is some amazing work in the gallery already.
Had some bits and pieces left over, so had a play around and got this layout done also :
Layout : Bathe
And another one from my WIP folder that was done just because I could :
Layout : Slide
Better go... DT work to finish off and Bubs due for a feed any minute now.
