Scrapping a year of your life

I thought that this would be a great way to keep a track of a year of your life there is so much that i foreget every year that this will be a great way to keep track of my thoughts plans projects and well everything

this is a simple one, a month to month journal of myself i would love it if you would join in

this is how it will workhandscrappersget your self a journal/minialbum or even an album decorate it to your tastes take a picture of yourself every month to scrap in it ( i dont want to hear it just do it i to dont scrap myself either hence the journal )write journal enteries about what happened in january your thoughts feelins your hopes dreams new years resloutionsand then the 31st january we finnish our page and start febuary and so forth and so forth so by the end of the journal you will have 12 months of your life for you to look back on

tip include a calander of that month in your layout

this is my journal, ive been dying to use it since i bought it i cant wait to dress it up

Baby dust box

I made this for a friend , its a baby dust box theres an old wives tale if you a trying to concieve and a friend gives you parsely seeds that you will fall pregnant. my friend has been trying a long time so i made this for her with a little note book to write letters to baby

Im sorry

im sorry to yullip and sky who i owe a rak to i have been unwell so i havent been able to post them for you .

i havent created much lately i made a card for a friends wedding but if im feeling better i will scrap tonight .I have had issues with my Epilepsy so im extremely tired at the moment

Rak and other stuff

Im so sorry that i kept you all waiting , I decided that the winners of the rack are

Yullip and
skemj

so ladies email me your address and i will get this rak out to you

as well as that its been a pretty big weekend. we took aiden to a fete to see the petting zoo and he loved it he said hello to every animal lol and grandma and grandpa bought him a budgie named boris..( i have no idea why boris) so here are the animal farm pics.

chris sprung a surprise on me as well. he has booked a cruise starting valintines day a week through the islands of vanatu numea. and many more places im exctited but i am terrified of boats so i have no idea what im going to do . chris says its time to face my fears. so its a week on a boat and without aiden lol im excited but not iukwim

anyways i gtg things to do my kaiser goodies arrived today so i have some orginising to do.. the refirb of the scrapping room has platood :( but it will get there. i have done some order forms up for the markets some leaflet to do a letter drop so im a busy girl

Its the little things

that mean the most. im sitting here missing chris like crazy. its the little things that make it hard i miss that durring the night he would roll over and give me a kiss on the nose. that he would tuck me in if i kicked off the sheets or blankets. that if i was in the shower he would make sure i had a towl and the doors half closed. i miss the way he sings bubbly lol it makes us both roll around in fits of laughter . most of all i miss his smell you know the man smell. not the gross dirty smell. the chris smell. the one thats starting to fade from his pillows:( i know he will be back soon i just miss him like crazy , i know alot of people think that by now i shouldve left him but you see he is my best mate as well we dont just love each other his my soul mate he knows me better then anybody else. he can look into my eyes and know whats wrong i dont even have to speak a word.anywayz enough rambling about chris i havent scrapped in a while to much has happened here . i saw my grandfather this week and oh my he nearly brought tears to my eyes he has lost so much weight and his eyes his eyes have given up the fight thats the worst part. his stopped fighting. He has been sick for a long time he suffers from ephisma. heart problems and severe stomach problems to the point most days are spent vomiting. he has 9 stints in his heart next step is bypass surgery and with his stomach well the more they touch it the worse it gets scare tissue is tighening his stomach and slowly making it impossible. appart from removing it and giving him a bag there is nothing they can do except give him valium to stop the vomiting. which makes him emotional. im so scared about what i will do without him i really am his alllways been there even when things where bad and i was not a good person he always took the time to tell me how proud he was of me and how much i meant to him. what will i do when his not here.

to happier stuff friday i will have a new cousin well my aunty gets induced then if she doesnt go earlier lol. poor thing was due on my birthday and she is way over now.

TOO THE FIREFIGHTERS
that drove down my street you seriously made aidens day when you waved and put the lights on . i have seen a bigger grin on that kids face he was so proud and loved it so much thank you for taking the time to make his day cause it also made mine

My Birthday

my birthday was fantastic i had so much fun we had a bbq , and i got spoilt! a george forman grill rice cooker ipod undewear! AN IPOD DID I MENTION AN IPOD bring on the daily jog! oh and check out this yummy birthday cake.. every bit of weight i have lost is sure to be back on lol

there was a bit of an acident and we are making a complaint cause it couldve been serious. my dad bought some plastic outdoor chairs. they are always kept undercover and we only use them when entertaining. there about 6 months old and he sat on one last night and was holding aiden. the chair broke and they both fell to the tiled ground. luckliy my dad broke aidens fall and protected him. but unfortunatly my dads already seriously bad back is not good and his in agony today . aiden had a cry but there wasnt a scratch on him! thanks to my dad. so we have the company and taken pics of dads bruises and the broken chair and are making a serious complaint cause its a safty issue

23 tomorrow

well tomorrow im 23 , and ive made a realisation, i havent really done that much with mylife yes i have a wonderful family but you know the things i have had dreams of are still so faraway i always wanted to have a creative job so now im taking the steps. im going to get my senior certificate and i ill enrolll in graphic design and a small buisness course /photography. i will get my scrap dreams to come true i will have my own classes and store running this will happen it will take time but i will get there. i mean rome wasnt built in one day. I have been feeling a tad down about life and the turns it has taken for me but hey we all go through that.

so my birthday morning plans of brekkie in bed and sleeping in have gone out the window. chris's flight doesnt get into tile 630 tomorrow morning. so i dont actually get any presants tomorrow until my sister comes over. i was going to go buy the pressie from aiden a digi scraping tablet but i couldnt get to wow in time. ah well another time. so poor me lol i shouldnt complain next week ive been promised a new camera and my pazzels machine. so what can you do . im hoping now life will be back to normal back to being a family no more fights no more dramas. i really cant handle anymore of that.

if you visit leave me some loving . here is my painted lady she isnt finnished but getting there im not entirely happy but im one of those cricticle of her work people im never happy with my work. i need to buy the bigger butterfly stamps. to finnish her but the budgets tight so it will have to wait after i get some more christmas card orders . ive got some other things going on to im making a tin for my cards to go in and my mum will take it to work and people will honesty box buy them i hope it works she has alot of lovely people working with her. i really need the dosh damit anyways looking at the pics of my lady i need to get a pen and tidy up the linese and spots a bit sorry my first canvas

and aiden is sick again. he has a middle ear infection and the flu i spent today cleaning vomit up and at the drs ... oh and we lost power as well summer is going to be great this year last year they said to expect power outages cause the system is getting overloaded will it hasnt hit summer yet and its already begun

my painted lady

so this is my painted lady on canvas . she isnt finnished. i need to get some cherry red paint and some red bling and some red butterlys and some acete butterflys with red painted on them so let me know what you think im still not perfect with brush strokes so i might go around some and tidy it upp

oops

Cupcake and other rambles

well today was a big day we had swimming lessons and i looked after my cousin while my aunty had some things to do .. she is due next week on the 27 on my birthday! im exhausted aiden has been a right little turd and im not coping with the house i cant get on top of things i bust my arse and it still looks like crap so im done. i want to hire a cleaner i want to move . i hate living above my parents. i want my own home. as a reward for looking after her lil one my aunty gave me this fantastic cupcake and i had to share it with aiden. apparatnly its from a place at westend. im telling you that there lucky that im pregnant otherwise they wouldnt have any cupcakes at all.

a day of fun= Mess

so today i got up motivated and cleaned vacumed mopped and tidyied.. and then an Aiden cyclone hit and by the end of the day this is what it looked like. and this is what my lil man was like at the end of the day so really what harm could a little mess be my lil man is happy and that is all that matters

and so this is a realaxed me after treating myself to a pamperd foot scrub and face wash a very tired me i was going to scrap but i laid down with my laptop in bed and felt so relaxed
but i have a terrible secret, im avoiding this! tell me am i the only person that hates putting away the laundry

So it didnt make it

my layout didnt make it ah well what can you do just means i need to do better and keep trying:) im happy with the layout and thats all that matters so without making you wait anymore here is the layout hope you like it as much as me i really do think that its one of my best i love the pic of aiden "running" he loves the park so much . btw for some reason its loading the first pic sideways... its not sideways on my computer so i have no idea whats going on there

A productive weekend

well this weekend has been good for my mojo , i did 2 canvas ( one isnt finnished) and a layout that has to be the best i have ever done.. so much so that i submitted it so i will post a pic once i find out if it has made it or not, there are also pics on some inchies i made for an sol swap. i feel a bit bad though cause i like them better then the ones i mad for the sm swap but i guess practise makes perfect
