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

oops

a few of you comments and asked me if i was pregnant .. no im not pregnat just sucky at wording things.. i was meaning if i was pregnant the cupcake store would be broke cause sweets are a craving for me when im pregnant maybe another time ill have that announcement not just yet

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
