Merry Christmas!

Just dropping in to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!
We are spending it with my family today.
Currently I have a very grumpy seven year old on my hands because he wants to open his presents but we are waiting for Uncle Aaron, Aunty Emma and Cooper to arrive before opening our gifts.

Then while lunch is cooking the kids will play with their toys and the adults will stuff themselves silly lol!
Anyway I hope everyone stays safe and has a wonderful Christmas filled with joy, laughter, family and friends.

Until next time,

Finally

Well with all the prep for Christmas I have had little time to scrap even with Rhyley visiting Nanny and Poppy at the moment.
I finally managed to snag a few hours to myself to scrap two pages about how busy we have been leading up to the festive season.

I am yet again finding myself promising to prepare for Christmas all through the year so I am not running myself ragged trying to get it all done so hopefully I can do it.
I know it would be so much easier if I did and I wouldn't stress half as much as I do.
Well there are just three days until Christmas now and I am so excited to get down to Ballina on Christmas Eve so I can see my little man!
I have missed him sooo..... much!

Anyway until next time

Heading to Ballina

Well it is like 2am here at the moment and I am supposed to be in bed.
But alas I can not sleep so I will share with you my latest layouts and hybrid projects.

We are heading down to Ballina in the morning to drop Rhyley off at Nanny and Poppy's for his holiday before we join him on Christmas Eve.
So I may actually have time over the next week and half to do some layouts.
Well I guess I should go and try and get some sleep before our trip.

Until next time,

Taking A Break

Things are getting so busy around here with the end of school activities and Christmas rapidly barrelling toward us.
So I have decided to take a little break at least until things settle down a bit.
I will try to get as many layouts I can get done to make up for the break either when I have a spare few minutes to myself or after the rush has passed.

Until next time,

Relax!

Well today we chilled at home and did housework while watching a few movies.
So really there is nothing new to report except today's layout!

I got the idea for this while laying in bed trying to get to sleep the other night and today I put it into action and I have to say I am impressed with how it turned out.
Hope you like it:

Last Pages of Album

Well here are the last pages of the album I told you about yesterday.
I really think both my mum and mother-in-law are going to enjoy their Christmas gifts.

Miss Mint's Bluechie Coo Album

Until next time,

Baby Album

I have been putting together a baby album to get made into a photo book of Rhyley to give to my Mum and Jason's Mum for Christmas this year.
Because I was at such a loss at what to do with it I cheated a bit hehe.

I decided to use Miss Mint's Bluechie Coo Album to do the bulk of the album and added to it by doing some of my own.

So here are some of the pages I've completed with this beautiful album kit:



I will post the rest tomorrow when I finish them off :)
Until next time,

Catching Up!

Wow what a long weekend!
We went down to Ballina to visit my cousin Peter and his lovely girlfriend Jess who recently had a baby boy Connor!
So with packing last Thursday,driving down there Friday and being there all weekend and not getting home till late I have had to play catch up with my layouts!

We had a fantastic weekend though went to see Connor on Saturday and he is so cute!
Rhyley had a hold and he is definitely a pro after holding Coop so much as a baby.
Speaking of Coop we got a visit from him and Aaron out at Mum and Dad's cause Aaron is currently fixing up Dad's boat for him.
So Rhyley and Coop ran around playing trucks all morning.

On Sunday Aaron and Coop came out again for a while but it was too hot so they went back into town.
After they left we cleaned up Mum's house and had lunch before watching X-Men Origins: Wolverine. We then packed the car loaded the dogs in and drove into town to visit Aaron at his flat. When we got there he showed us the wardrobes he had installed and told us how they were going to be painting over Christmas.

After Aaron's we dropped in to see my Pop for a quick hello before heading back home!

So here are five new layouts:

We Will Remember Them

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years contemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Today was Remembrance Day.
Rhyley had a special parade at school to commemorate today and his class made wreathes to lay at the school memorial during parade.
He bought home his wreath and was very proud because he thought he had done a good job on it.

Also today I spoke with my mum to organise when they want Rhyley to come down before Christmas and she said it is up to him so of course he is trying to decide if he wants to spend 1 or 2 weeks at Nanny and Poppy's.

Here is today's layout:

So Proud

Well today Rhyley came home with a bunch of notes from school.
The fortnightly school newsletter which I have to say surprised me because Rhyley has been neglecting to fork it over this year, then there were order forms for next years school supplies I know scary thought huh!
But the best note of all was the Gold Award permission slip!
I am so proud of my little man he has receive Gold Award 3 out of 4 terms this year and is great a major improvement on last year's half a Gold Award!

Anyway here is today's layout:

Rain

It has been raining for the last couple of days and I am loving it!
Rainy weather is the best it always smells so fresh outside and I always sleep better when it rains.
I guess the only bad thing about it is the dryer is getting a work out!

Here is today's layout:

I'm off to bed now
Until next time

Yum!

We had a yummy dinner tonight~ Chicken Taco Soup!
It was so good that we all had seconds and Rhyley devoured his which is unusual for him especially when it comes to spicy food.
So this will most definitely make it back on the dinner menu in the future :)

Now for today's layout:

It's Here

The weekend is finally here!
Today Jason let me have a sleep which was lovely. After I got my butt out of bed I joined Jason and Rhyley in the lounge, they were watching Transformers yet again for like the millionth time.
I swear I am going to hide it so they can't watch it for a while.
I know it's mean but seriously if they keep watching it at this rate they will wear it out lol.

So after the movie I decided to do so digi-scrapping and got another new page:

Friday!

Yeah it's Friday!
Can't wait for the weekend cause I get to spend it with my boys!
Well today I was running around going to appointments and doing
errands all day.
Today I had to renew my driver's license today and for the first time in 5 years had to have my photo taken for it. I think it is the worst photo anyone has ever placed on my license lmao. Seriously it is a mug shot!, luckily no-one has to see it.

Well here is today's layout:

Storm!

Wow what a storm we had tonight!
It was bucketing down rain, huge rolls of thunder and lots of lightning it was perfect snuggle on the couch weather.

So today my mum called to have a chat unfortunately I hadn't spoken to her in over a week because they are working at the moment so she doesn't get time to call.
We had a good chat and she was really proud to hear that Rhyley only has to go to Occupational Therapy once a month now because he has improved so much!

Well now for today's layout:

Until next time,

Hot! Hot! Hot!

Wow it's only Spring here in Australia but damn it is getting HOT!
Today it was stinkin' hot and if it's this hot now we are in for a scorcher this summer!
So not looking forward to it!

Anyway today Jason came home telling how his work had employed a new bloke who used to work at his old work that no-one got along with because he's a major slacker!
He told the bosses that he won't put up with it if he decides to take the same attitude there.
So I guess there goes my happy hubby every afternoon :( hopefully this guy will just do what is excepted of him and I get to keep my happy hubby! *fingers crossed*

Anyway now for today's layout:
