all in the name...

Ever thought about sccrapping the story behind your name - the challenge for the Autumn Seasoned Scrapper over at LSBS did just that and here is what I came up with ....

I was so inspired by Belle's challenge I also did a LO each for the boys....the challenge - was to do a LO about your name and use 3 flowers(which could be incorperated in the PP also) My LO followed the criteria but the boys were not for the challenge so it was anything goes - hope you like them and so sorry I took so long to post:)

....for the soul

Chicken soup for the soul??? Remember when you where little and your Grandma made you chicken soup when you where sick??? Well my Mum used to always give us vegimite soldiers - partly because she knew we had to be sick to eat it (not big vegimite fans back then lol) and because it was her form of "chicken" soup...hope that makes sense so I thought I would capture it as these days I don't mind Vegimite but it is still my go to food when I am not well....

This next LO is for The Year in Review challenge at WIOIN - documenting my weekend of bliss at Kangaroo Valley with the girls, laughs and a girls best friend (well the next closest to bling) Bubbles - Hey they both start with the same letter - lol....

This is my use of mixed alphas and Kraft for teh Kraft it Up challenge this month - Jaydens first day back at swimming - such a cutie patootie :)

Retreat Layouts

On my weekend away I didn't use thickers, bling or pearls - I think I chanelled my whimsy side and my use the old stash up side and I enjoyed every minute - I don't have a room full of stuff to use but like most scrappers have more than enough and I am glad to say that my patterned paper is a little lighter for it ;)

The one above has the most appropriate quote for me right now and I am really happy with the whole feel of this one:)

This is Jay all over - he loves analysing stuff and trying to work things out he also loves Yo Gabba Gabba - I got the little plex button from Kitty Robot and knew it would find a home :)

My wild Child - every family has one right - I love his spunk even though at times it drives me crazy - he is too darn cute and just the cheekiest chicken little to be able to pull it off !

Thanks for dropping by- more to share later...

Weekend Away

I have just been on the most fabulous weekend away with 8 gorgeous gals who scrapped, chatted,enjoyed each others company and no kidlets running around at Kangaroo Valley.

I love my chicken littles so much there are days when it hurts but it was seriously theraputic to have four days of me,the gals,patterned paper and bubbles - be still my beating heart :)

I got 12 Lo's done including one of Cass's little cutie Annabelle - Can't share cause didn't take a pic but maybe Cass can pop it on her blog.I don't get to scrap little girls much so had a bit of fun with that one:)

Will post some pics over the next week.Back to real life after being in heaven for a few days and the washing is done now I need to go to bed so I will be able to half function at work tomorrow.

It was so lovely to come home for some Mummy cuddles and happy faces from my little chickens though - nice to know we are missed :)

A little bit quirky?

Another one for Dollies - this is another sketch challenge and another no pic LO for me.... I am liking getting some stuff about me down on paper for the boys to know all about me in years to come - they will probably just rolls there eyes and say big deal but hopefully it will mean something for them to know the real me.

Thats it for now - the boys are not 100% and I am exhausted so see ya on the flip side:)
