Nearly Christmas

Term 4 at school is quickly going and the frantic pace is scary!
We have been having fun with our Science unit but boy is the time flying already! Report cards to write soon..sooo it will only get worse! LOL
I have had a stomach bug and that has been a nuisance and now I think Ellen has it too! Everyone else seems to be well except for a persistent cough Ben has had for a while and nothing seems to help it!
Simon is well and the left shoulder doing really well after the operation.
Amanda is counting down the days left at uni this year then only one more year left and maybe a very exciting one at that....she might be going to Hawaii for a prac!

Some layouts I have completed lately.

A variety of old photos and 2 new ones Amanda took of herself.

Some scrapbooking I have done recently.

Here are some pages I have completed recently. This is using a photo taken last year and one of my favourites. The stamping didn't come out as much as I'd like but it is just visible. I did this at the recent SWIG I went to which was a lot of fun and just what I needed.

This is a LO I did in a Chinese whispers Game at CPC. It was a lot of fun and I was pleased to have used up some older stash and do another page for Ellen's 21st albums.

I did this LO in the classes at CPC and it won first prize at our local show. These are my maternal grandparents. Mum's maiden name of course was seaborn! LOL

This is a LO I did of Ann and Bernie after their 40th wedding anniversary party. It was a lovely afternoon and they have always made a lovely couple, still do! Ann liked it when I gave it to her...phew!!! LOL

Don't fall over..I am updating my blog!

I know it has been ages but I just don't get a lot of time to update as much as I'd like, that and I am lazy! LOL

This year we have had a few 'issues' health wise with the family. All are on the road to recovery now thak goodness. Simon is recovering from his shoulder operation but I will be so happy when he can sleep properly again. The poor man has had such poor sleep for so long!



This is a photo I love of my MIL and DH I took recently at our great nephew's third birthday party. I love the casual and spontaneous look, plus the fact that they smiled was a hit too! LOL

These gorgeous flowers were a lovely gift from my beautiful friend Ann and her family for our 25th Wedding Anniversary on the 30th of June.


Here we are on the night of our big day, celebrating with Ann and her family and our family too. It was a lovely night and one we will always treasure.


Here we all are , look how grown up my lot are now! I think I might need to reset my banner with an updated photo! LOL I am very proud of them all and although I might whinge and moan occassionally...well okay a lot! LOL...they are wonderful children
and I love them very much.
