So little time.....

This week I have been a busy little bee crocheting beanies for Rhyley's school team
for Relay for Life! I am busy making up to 20 beanies for next weekend!
If time permits there will be aliens (to go with the team's space theme) or daffodils on each one!

There has been little time to scrap!
So here are the pages I have completed since the last time I shared.


This first one is one of my Dad and his brother when they played Rugby League
together, a very LONG time ago.

 Check the credits: here,here & here

This one is of my little monkey when he was in hospital last year.

 Credits: here, here & here

This one is from the KISS concert in Mackay!
I won the tickets and took Jason with me and his sister and brother in-law got
tickets too and came up for the weekend to attend.
It was an AMAZING night!

Rockin' the credits here, here & here

This one is of my boys being silly  (as per usual)

I love how it turned out.

For Easter I made Rhyley this bunny basket!
I loved how it turned out so I did a layout!

Seriously I LOVE Rise of the Guardians and I LOVE Jack Frost!
I also LOVE the quote I used for the title on this layout!

This layout is all about play!
We headed to the park and Daddy and Rhyley played it up for the camera!

The other weekend we took Rhyley to the Circus for the first time!

I scrapped this photo years ago when I began digi-scrap but I only used
a quick page.
I now prefer to make my own pages so I rescrapped it and came up with this:

Lately I have applied and been knocked back from many Creative Teams.
At first it upset me, especially when I was knocked back from a few of my favourite
designers.
Instead of not applying I have decided to apply more often.

When I saw a call for a smaller designer Crescent Moon Designs,
I decided to throw my hat in the ring, seriously the worst that can happen is
I'd get told NO! (and well lately I am getting used to it :-P)
But.... I was accepted and here are my first layouts: 

 Credits are here

An invite to a camp out party:

 Here are the credits

Well that is all for now.

Until next time,

Oops....

Wow life has been full on here in our house and well I have been extremely
LAZY when it comes to updating my blog. Seriously  I actually wonder if
I will ever devote proper time to this - I am sure the answer is YES but when
I am not completely sure?!
So I will update quickly since my last post:
We got through Christmas, which was SO busy and full on I never got around
to posting all of our Elf on the Shelf photos, which I am so bummed about
but I will get to it (maybe I'll post them for Christmas in July!).

We had New Years and school holidays, which was spent spending lots
of family time together with little internet time which was great and really
what was needed for our family.
We shopped and prepared for the new school year - Rhylez is in Grade Six this
year which completely blows my mind everyday I can't believe my little baby
boy is in his second last year of primary school and it won't be long until he's
a high schooler.
Which in all honest scares the crap outta me, and I find myself wishing I could
turn back time to enjoy his babyhood more - I had PND (Post Natal Depression)
and it wasn't diagnosed until he was about 2 years old and now looking back
I realise that I wasn't a great mum because I was in a seriously black cloud
of depression and despair.

Wow, I have never admitted that out loud (let alone in writing) before but it feels
really good to get it off my chest.

My uncle passed away in January and I guess that has shown me that pretending
the mistakes we made in the past don't or didn't matter is not the way to go
and that holding on to that stuff really does eat away at you!

I have been searching alot lately too.
About what I want to do - job wise I love my job as a Mum and wouldn't change
that for the world but I need something more so I am looking at studying Business
and HR Management.
Because I really want to help others get work they will love!
I have also been thinking about opening my own Etsy store and selling my crocheted
items and vinyl wall stickers but to that I need to devote more time to making things.
Just need to work a on schedule! and overcome ALOT of self doubt I have when it
comes to putting myself out there to sell my own stuff!

Lots of other little things have been happening but those can wait for another day....
I have been scrapbooking a bit lately too but this post is already SO long  I will
share them later.

Until next time,
