I've been slack. Again.

Sharing! Yay :)

Look!!! She's WALKING!!!

Kahlei fell asleep on Ellie's bed for her first sleep in a big bed and suddenly it was cool to go to bed!

Scrapping. Need I say more?

Ellie's first time seeing Daddy go up a ladder + into the man hole.

She kept telling him to be careful :)

P365 Catch up + Week 2 LO

I was thinking about continuing along with the ESS numbers prompt, in fact I had taken a photo of the timer on our washing machine and then it happened. I went to change Kahlei's dirty nappy only to return to Ellie telling me she'd done a poo. I looked at her but she had no nappy on and so she showed me that she'd taken it off and done it in her house!! Our first floor poo... I thought it needed to be remembered, lol.

Ellie is infatuated with all things bugs - especially Slaters, after naming one Kate a while back. This one's name was also Kate by some strange coincidence ;)

Tickle Monsters

Kahlei is obsessed with standing up, crouching down and then standing up again, doing a little jig and pretending she might take a step. It's cute, sometimes a little frustrating and a bit scary that soon she will be walking.

I have used the same products as last week's layout - a double sided template by M Originals, who, I’ve found has many wonderful templates perfect for these layouts and this month’s mega from Enchanted Studio Scraps, Celebrate Anew. I intended to change the template and kit monthly but am worried somehow it will overlap along the way and look silly, so I have decided to change it up at the end of three weeks (as that will be the end of January) so I get some variety in there.

June Design Me This + P365

I have been a bad, bad blogger of late... but with two sick babies, a sick hubby and feeling under the weather myself I have found it too hard to wade through the fog that is my brain.

The girls are still sniffly and not sleeping great at night but they have improved. Ellie is well enough to run around all day like a nut and for the past three days has cut her day sleep down to an hour. Can't say I'm thrilled with that, especially as she was up during the night last night.

Okay, on to a catch up for P365!

Day 123: Backyard Safari

Day 124: Sisterly Love :)

Day 125: Beauty

Day 126: Tree View

Day 127: Tootsies

Day 128: Blue What?

We've had sooo much rain and cloudy weather it's a relief to finally have some sun!

Day 129: Flower

I have no idea what kind of flower this is (James?), I've taken it for the Digiridoo Scraps June Photo Challenge

Now, this month's Design Me This Challenge has really had me stumped. I've been playing with my papers since my birthday and nothing has really come up the way I wanted. Finally, I have come up with four papers I can live with

If you like them you can download them here (click image to view larger preview).

Well, I best be off - really need a nap!! Before I go; check out my picks for Twilight Character Sims 3 downloads. Do you have a completely different view of the characters from the books??

Poor Bubbas

Both my girls are sick, poor little darlings :( Someone always gets sick after we go to the doctors!! Ellie was worse the last two nights but seems to be picking up tonight (she was running around like a crazy thing when james got home). Kahlei was okay the first night but has been worse since. She slept most of the morning and I am hoping a good sleep tonight will put her on the road to recovery, I don't like her not being her happy, content self.

Needless to say I am tired and on my way to being sick, too. Cuddling sick babies for much of the day and night will do that to you!

Now, I have some Project 365 to catch up!

Day 114: Rambo

Day 115: Birthday Girl (+ Hubs)

Day 116: Park Lunch Date

Day 117: Josh Wears Shoes!

And, yes, it's a big deal! Seriously, the boy is ALWAYS barefoot!

Day 118: *Shudders*

These freaky cows watched me as we drove home for AGES.

Day 119: Baby Mush - Yummo

Day 120: The Sims 3 fan page

Don't forget, if you want to be in the running to win your very own copy of The Sims 3 (or if you just want to help me win) support  my fan page. Thanks :)

Day 121: Lashes

Kahlei has really long lashes, surely didn't get them from me!

122: Sick Bubba

Not Sure I Would Agree..

Day 113: James Says We DON'T Need a Dryer

It's been raining here for days. Unfortunately, the washing doesn't stop piling up because the weather isn't optimal for drying. How inconsiderate. So, this is what our house currently looks like. There's clothes literaly everywhere. On the wall, on Ellie's play house, on the pram, the bookcase... If it's a piece of furniture, it's covered in clothes trying to dry before we go away tomorrow.

I vote Yes to Clothes Dryer!!

Finally!!

First, I know... 'later today' turned into 'tomorrow' for yesterday's P365 pic and as you've all been waiting so patiently - here it is:

Day 111: Bedtime Stories

Day 112: Getting Friendly

I know this shot is blurry, but I wanted to share what most toys in this house do quite frequently. They kiss. Everyone kisses. They're all very friendly!

Soo, I know I have been practically bombarding you with all this digiscrapping stuff that I am now doing, but I hope you know that I am only promoting things because I am really into the kit or community. And now, I am quite ecstatic to be able to share this new kit with you all. I have been waiting for what seems like forever for Caryn to release this!

In fact I feel so excited that you'd think I was the designer! Hehe. Drum roll please...

Color With Caryn presents  All Boy

Here are the pages I have done with this kit so far:

Other than the fact that this kit truly is All Boy (which can be hard to find) I just love the fact that I didn't have to double up on any elements for these layouts. There were perfect pieces for each of my unique brothers - it's almost as if Caryn knows them!!

Caryn has just opened a new store at Digiridoo Scraps, so she's celebrating with a Grand Opening sale - Her entire store is 50% off, making All Boy just $2! If you have trouble finding the perfect kit to scrap the boys in your life then this kit is sure to please!

Now, it seems I have a Wiggly date as Ellie's woken and decided it's time for 'Yummy yummy".

Oh! Before I go, if you love a template and you love a freebie pop over to the Digiridoo Scraps blog and join Michelle in Template Tuesday!

It's almost here!!

June the 5th is quickly approaching. I can't believe I will be 26 (eek). When did I get so old? We're going to spend the weekend at my parents house and everyone has been made aware that the whole weekend is about me. Which is exciting because things aren't often about me anymore! Once you have kids everything becomes about them - and why shouldn't it - but, it'll be nice to be spoilt for a while.

Other than my birthday, another exciting thing is happening that day - Digiridoo Scraps is having it's Grand Opening! It's going to be awesome, so come along, take a look around and join in! There's going to be a games, challenges, freebies, a speed scrap (see below for details) and much more



Everything in the store will be 50% off (birthday goodies here I come) and when you spend $10 or more you get the gorgeous new collab kit by the amazingly talented Digiridoo designers

If you're looking for a fun, friendly, supportive digiscrapping community I really encourage you to check it out. I have found so many wonderfull people there and at a time when I really needed to. I started looking for e-pals because I was so so lonely but all I got were sleazy men replying and then I found the girls (and Bruce) over at Digiridoo!! It's amazing. I feel so welcome and accepted.

Anyways, enough gushing! I have some Project 365 to update:

Day 108: Attitude

Day 109: Teething

Day 110: Delicious!

I'll post today's piccie later (really, I will).

Mother of the Year, here I come!

I have had an upset tummy this week, between that and Kahlei sleeping badly thru the night I am utterly exhausted. So, Tuesday morning I get Kahlei settled for a nap, Ellie settled on her couch to watch In the Night Garden and decide to lie down while she watches it. As soon as my head hits the cushion I'm out - I don't see a single moment of In the Night Garden, even though the TV only went on a moment before it begun. Quite sometime later I awoke to a strange rustling. The first thing I notice is that Ellie is quiet and has had the television for much longer than her normal half hour. But, mainly, Ellie is quiet. I glance at her couch at the same time that I feel a weight on my feet and hear another ominous rustling.

I look and find my Angel sitting happily with an empty packet of Tim Tams on her lap, which she must have gotten off the wall which is behind the couch dividing the kitchen from the lounge. At first I wasn't sure that she had eaten them as she was much too clean but then I remembered James and I had only had one each the night before and there had been at least two left... Probably more. Still, she was awfully clean... I checked around her for any remains, finding none. She was very pleased with herself, which left no doubt in my mind that she had enjoyed a lovely morning tea!

Project 365 Catch-up

Day 104: The Wheels

Day 105: Tree Tied

Day 106: Discarded

Day 107: Bloom

Turns out I'm not so good at this

I manage to take the photos for Project 365 everyday, I just never seem to get around to posting them. To think, I wanted to start a whole new blog JUST for this.

Day 98: Mummy's Mooey

Day 99: Messy Miss

Day 100: Testing

Hmm. If I had known which day was going to be my 100th day I might have tried to do something to celebrate instead of it being a test shot.

Day 101: At The Watering Hole

Day 102: Dandoline Wishes

I was actually trying to get a shot as I blew the seeds away, unfortunately it was stubborn and I couldn't get them to move at all!

Day 103: Ice, Ice Baby

I have yet to take one for today, so I will post that later.

In other news Color With Caryn has a great freebie posted on her blog called Ellie's Hope, to read about the little girl who inspired this mini kit go here.

You can pick it up here. Don't forget to leave her some love!
