i miss you

how do you manage all your memories??

I am obsessed with photos...I love to document...it just takes so long. I am a procrastinator, I work 4 days a week, I am a busy mum, I have an OLD computer...I want a MAC.....they seem to be better at memory keeping!!!! lol I am now learning how to upload my iphone videos to you tube...heaven forbid I loose any of these one day. I want to remember that Max filmed the drive to outdoor training so he knew how to get there without me......my boy LOVES the camera.

A story... I was just approached last month to join a group on Facebook called McIntosh cousins...it was nice that my cousins had started to pull pieces of my mums family together. I have no family photos of my mum. So when my cousin posted a photo of our Nanna I was excited. I showed my mum and she said "that's not Nanna"!!! I was sad... I thought I finally had a photo of my Nanna. My mum should be the one that knows hey! WHO is right? I was going to scrapbook the photo....but who is it a photo of?

I don't want my family not to be documented.

I often think what will happen to my scrapbooks in 80 years! will they be in a museum for people to see what life was like?? I hope someone still loves them and cares......I hope no one ever says that's not Nanna to me. I hope my boys will always love their albums and have enough space to store them ;)

2Crafty keeps my scrapbooking! I love Vanessa and the fact she is so friendly and creative! Watch this space for some exciting news!!!!!

Maxy and Flynnigan Frederick

You are such a little cutie. You are just carefree and take everything in.
You love to chat to yourself, you play along happily and have a chat. "I go to Daddy's car, not mummy car, daddy's car".
You love motorbikes. you get excited when you see them in the street. You tell me the exhaust is hot and blow your hands. You say "don't touch it".
You love to work with Dad in the garage and will sit on the step and watch.
You love to dive bomb in the bath and splash.
You sound so adorable when you talk. You are always trying to say something and have such a great vocab.
You love your wrap and your dummy still.
When I call you my bubba you say "I not bubba, I big boy".
You like play with trucks and cars.
You love the Wiggles and love playing guitar like Murray

I am proud of the way you are doing your best at school. All seems fine and your teacher adores you. You are mature and comment on how Jackson got an incident slip, I am happy your are not involved in incident slips. You are leaning your sounds, sight words and tell me that you can count on. "Mum you don't count the 3 just say it and go 4, 5, 6...get it, you count on".

You are interested in numbers and will try and say numbers when you see them. You have written all the numbers to 100 on several occasions.

You love Bey Blades, Transfomrers and Ninjago. You love to watch all these on you tube also.

You love to come to outdoor fitness training with me and have chats with everyone.
You can ride without training wheels.

  

I love you both, I love your laughs and your cuddles. I don't live your fights but I love it when you are sweet to each other and I know you will be buddies for life. You make me so happy, I love every minute we spend together xxx

more scrapping

I am lucky that I got some major scrapping time of the long weekend with a fun group of girls! Good laughs, Thai food, Easter eggs and good mojo. I am liking the social side of scrapping again, social scrapping is good for you, I guess girly time is good no matter what.

Once again 2 Crafty is a feature on all these layouts, I must admit I love it. I even love shopping online with Vanessa at all about scrapbooks. She has everything on the layouts above, especially as most of it is October Afternoon .......I am a happy scrapper with OA, one of my all time favs.

Have a great weekend, an update on my boys soon as I so need to document

2 Crafty

2 Crafty keeps me scrapping.....I love using it and I am proud of Vanessa and her business, a great Aussie girl doing great things for scrappers.

Now after my tripple ramble yesterday I plan to post some updates on my gorogeous boys.

Feeling a bit nostalgic, I think I was born to crave memories.

OMG, I am Suddenly 35 going on 36....

However I have no time to change this blog name.
Where have I been?? I have been doing lots and I often wonder WHY the weekly routine of updating this blog has changed. I often don't sit in front of my computer every night like I used too. I often find myself doing school work...updating the schools website, sorting photos for the newsletter rather than updating MY LIFE. I don't want to forget what is important to me...documenting my kids and our life.

Life is tougher, busier, hectic. maybe I am living a little more. I am finding I write less down...something I must vow to change.

I am finding it hard to keep scrapping, I get on a role and life gets in the way. This weekend I should be resting my right arm, it hurts and I think it hurts because I spend too much time on my phone and on the computer, doing work, texting! On Friday after typing lots at work it throbbed....however resting is hard. There is too much on my list.

I need to write more lists, I need to stop and think WHERE to next a lot more. I need to stop letting days off flash by me.

ok i have had my epthiny.......now back to regular programming.

I need to take more time out for me and NOT waste time. I also need to ignore the things I can't change.

How does one catch up?

I had many plans for January to catch up ! I spent most of January cleaning my house from top to bottom and I still have dusty blinds and a messy pantry!

I love this blog but have neglected it. Maybe I spend too much time on facebook, maybe I am getting older and staying up late a lot less. I am easily distracted and working nearly 5 days in 2011 in Term 4 was tough!!!

I got a little scrapping done. Here is my page with the fabulous 2 Crafty Merry Christmas title

I spent a lot of time cleaning the scraproom too! 4 days...Yes imagine I could have had 5 pages to show, instead I was cleaning my mess. I also vow never to let it get that messy again.

I am going to try and update this blog a little and back date some 2011 memories!
