Your Beautiful (The Circle of Life)

 Well this morning at 3am, I finally crawled into bed. I didn't realize what the time was, and also I was determined to finish this layout! I was in my office yesterday and was supposed to be cleaning it LOL! Yeah Right!! I came across this photo and I started thinking about how my oldest daughter is growing up so quickly so hence my layout evolved. I wanted to write something special to Aimee.

The time has just flown past so quickly. It feels as if it was just yesterday that I held you in my arms for the first time. You have now blossomed into a beautiful young woman, and before you know it, you will be all grown up. You are my oldest daughter, and together we will travel this road of life together! I love you Aimee, forever and always!

I love these fancy pants chipboard frames. They are so cool. I painted this frame. I used gin-x fabric, lil davis rickrack and heaps of other little bits and pieces. Thanks Lisa for the Feb Sketch Challenge and for NZ Dares for the circle idea. Went together really well!

Kids Xmas Pressy!!

 
 
 
This is what the kids got for their xmas present! They have used and used and used it. From 10am in the morning until after dinner they are splashing around having an absolute ball. My job is to clean and do the chemicals. And I don't actually mine because it is quite soothing. And what do you think of the pool fence! I have one clever hubby!!! Anyway off to do some more work.

Inspiration from Brianas T-Shirt

 
Well just finished my layout when I should be looking after the kids. Aaaaahhh School Holidays, aren't they great! No rushing around, except for mums, relaxing, except for mums LOL!!! No I have been a lazy little mother today and I feel as guilty as hell!!! But I am happy that I finally got my layout finished. I just absolutely love these photos of Shae-Lee on Holiday. She wouldn't leave Lisa's puppys alone. She loved them so much and to much every now and then LOL!! We would hear a little yelp when she squeezed them to much. Poor Puppies!!! Mind you she must have been doing something right because the puppies would come back for more!!! Lisa's baby Briana has a little t-shirt which is gorgeous and as soon as I saw it, it gave me the inspiration for this layout!! Anyway hope everyone is having a great holiday and if you want leave a comment - love hearing from you all and then I can come and visit you!!!! cya!!! 

Scrabookingbydesign Jan Competition

 Lisa from Scrapbooking by Design is running her first competition that has to be in by the 31st January 2007. So I just couldn't resist!! The layout has to have a clock on it somewhere, either in the layout or on the layout somewhere. You have to go and check it out www.scrapbookingbydesign.co.nz and go into the Home Button and then press the board and waa laa, the forum. So very cool. We just came home from holiday and it was fantastic and absolutely packed full of things to do, so alas the idea for my layout. Xmas Holiday - so much to do and so little time!! Any talk soon.

So nice to have a break - Back to reality!!

Hi everyone, hope you all had a wonderful xmas and new year!!! It just flew past. Ours was full on, like everyone elses I would guess. We went down to Hamilton for Xmas to share it with Adrian's Family, which was really lovely. Then back to Auckland for a couple of days and then back down to Hamilton for another couple of days and then onto Papamoa to spend some time with Lisa and Steve. What a fantastic time!! LOL! Talk about business and relaxing all in one! Between us we had 11 kids (my 4), 2 cats, 2 dogs and another friend of theirs as well!! Lisa if you're reading this, thank you so much for inviting us! I don't think anyone else would be brave enough to take on a family of 6, when you already have 9 people in your own family LOL!!! And I know what you're thinking LOL! "Oh great she used that picture" Well I think its great!!
