December Twenty-Ten

Dec 1, the first day was BUSY, an indicator of the month ahead......kids organised....up at 5am. Rel and I at school website course in the city, train home. Karen and Mark's lighting of the lights, there an hour and then all rained out....sadly even too wet for Santa this year.

Preschool dinner, great friends and goodbye to Marlene after 11 fab years as director :(

Rain washed out 2 of our favourite carols events (preschool and Liverpool Catholic club).

School - A visit from the DG, reports, end of year presentation days, Mahogany guest appearances, year 6 farewells, tears, stress, laughs and being a maniac and hanging out of a moving car dressed as Santa....(photos to come when Rel is home from holidays).

Shopping, shopping and more shopping. Late trips to KMART (gotta love a 24 hour KMART and Coles).

Flynn's 1st birthday (can't believe my baby is one already!!!!). Also Karen and Rel's birthdays!!

Christmas eve drinks with great friends, the kids were visited by Santa on a fire truck (in the heat, no rain this time).

A mums' group Christmas catch up (wow 5 years since our first Christmas party)

Christmas day. Boxing day. Sales. Relaxing at home after 2 extra public holidays.

A nice day relaxing day up the river. Max had a very slow ride on the tube. Then new year at friends in the pool, eating MORE and partying and dancing 2011 in!!!!!

precious new life

In August I was lucky enough to go the Savvy-delights scrap retreat and I had a ball!!!!!!

The classes on offer were fantastic, best I have seen in years! I wish i had enough money to do both classes!

When i saw this layout by Lisa Warren i fell in love! It was so gorgeous and I really wanted to do it as I could see I was going to LEARN some techniques which is what i love doing and have missed since i stopped attending classes many many moons ago.

Thanks San and Sar for a great weekend and Lisa, I love this layout to bits, thanks for teaching me something new!

Hey Narelle, this is the page from the kit you bought so in the holidays you can make this page too and a gorgeous mini album!!!!

Scrapbooking - 2010

well sadly I am not up to date with MUCH! My poor photo-a-day album is WAITING (since May), mind you I am proud that I have kept up with taking the photos !!!!! I have 2 mini albums that I want to finish and I have not even started Flynn's month by month album.

At least being on the 2Crafty design team has allowed me to make some time for scrapping. Here are my latest layouts for the blog

Have a Happy 2011, I am hoping to be productive until school goes back and get LOTS of scrapping done!!!

Flynn Frederick, Flynnigan Fred

Happy 1st Birthday my little baby boy!!!
I love you and I want you to stay my baby forever.
You are so happy, you smile a million times a day.
You are so perfect.
You have a cute bald head.
You want to play with everything you shouldn't like tubes of toothpaste and sunglasses.
You love to crawl everywhere and can stand up by yourself.
You try and crawl away at each nappy change.
You love to lay down and cuddle when you are tired.
You love your wrap and snuggle into it.
You wave hi and bye and clap hands.
You love to jabber...you love saying mum-mum, dad-dad, ta ta.
You follow Max around.
You love to eat.



I adore you Flynn, I am so lucky to have you, thanks for completing our family xxxxxxx
