BABY NEWS!!

I dont know if this is getting better or worse honestly!! I have since found out that i have a good chance of being able to come back to cleve after having the baby, what a relief yay! However i did go and see the Doctor yesterday.....first time i have been able to see her since about 24 weeks mind you and she wants me to be in whyalla at 39 weeks just so that i dont have to travel 2 1/2 hours in labour (incase we dont get there in time) and then she took measurements and said going by size i am 37-38 weeks pregnant now, not 35!! OMG what am i supposed to do. We are going away on the 4th of Feb until the 11th so i cant go to whyalla till after that, and now i guess if her measurements are right i might have this baby while we are away!! Holding head, screaming! I have an appointment booked to see her on our way back from holidays (if i havent already had the baby) and she will do a scan then to check measurements and i guess we will then work out what we are going to do! Might have to stay there from then on, but what am i going to do with myself in whyalla for a week?? Any ideas??
So that is the latest from the drama room.....LOL!! just a waiting game now!

SCRAP CHAT!!

So where am i on the scrap road at the moment???? Havent done a lot really. I really knuckled down a couple of days before christmas and did a layout in a frame for all of the family, one was a set of three for my SIL! I Have never done anything like this before and i am so happy with the outcomes of them all.... i didnt want to give them away and now it is my mission to make a set for myself. Using the great family shots we had taken. This is what i managed to do!


So they were all of the christmas presents and it seemed overall that everyone thought that they were pretty good, which is nice!!

I am getting right into the challenges at blumars at the moment, the worst thing is that i am waiting on photos and havent got what i want to complete layouts. So i am getting a bit more done. I have a few things i really want to have done before i have the baby so i have to get into gear and step it up a notch or three..... I loved the colouring class that we did at blumars the other day it was fabulous, just got to finish it and i think i will even put a pic in here of the finished product. I am trying to get the quick technique challenge done too. All about using photo corners, but not as photo corners and i have what i think is a great idea, but i cant get the photo corners, i might have to make some for the challenge i think. I have never even used them as photo corners so it is great to get to use different products. :)

Otherwise the other thing i am enjoying is the photo challenges, i am really trying to put some thought into the one for this month, but havent got the right shot yet. I think what i would like to do is a bit difficult! And i really want to get some pregnancy photos too before it is too late, never done it before, and would like to include the other kids in it. So have to wait for DH to have a spare half hour to help out there.

On that that is all, i am going to finish updating blog and the rest of the day is booked out to SCRAP TIME!! Yay for me!

WOW, here i am, back again. I feel a bit bad that i havent been in for a while but catching up on other blogs and seeing that it is that time and everyone else hasnt been updating either makes me feel a whole lot better.
I guess i should start and say to all happy new year. It is making its way through the month very quickly now. I cant believe how quickly the last year dissappeared. And the beginning of this year is booked up to the hilt, so it is going to dissappear before we know it too.
So we had a really good christmas, quiet but nice. Kids had a ball and I was very spoilt myself. Go a Click N Kut Element!! OMG..... I couldnt believe it. Just trying to work it out now and get used to it. I just love that there are no limits with the machine. Even thought i might be able to start a little something (online shop) or something to sell chipboard and die cuts etc and make them to suit what individuals want. Will have to think about it all a bit more though!!

Had some fabulous family photos taken just before christmas. Had a friend take them and WOW they came up beautifully.
I have never had a real family photo taken, i am always behind the camera, so it was great to have someone do a small photo shoot for us.

Arent they just Georgous!!! I have enlarged and framed these photos and put them on my wall for all to see. They make me smile every time i look at them. It is just nice to be able to get some with me in them too!!
