Happy Mothers Day...

Happy Mothers Day everyone! I got to spend some time with my babies and dear husband by starting with some yummy waffles for breaky then a rest...yay...then lunch and dinner with friends. It was a little bittersweet as I didn't get to see my precious Mum and Matt's Mum but we will hopefully catch up with them soon. Love you Mum. Here are Phoeb's and Jett with our homemade waffles and toppings...

Recently on National Scrapbooking Day - May 2nd - we had a social crop at the shop with a few of the local girls. I was a little rusty to start with so I warmed up with some 6 x 4 photos and a simple layout which I managed to come up with myself for a change so this one is called 'Having a Blast' and I used Fancy Pants 'Rusted Sun' papers...

Then I moved onto a couple of layouts that were inspired by a page I found on the Crate Paper blog. I love it when I find a sketch I can use 6 x 4 photos with so I don't have to think about what size to print. So here is Jett at 6 months on my first page which I used Fancy Pants 'Road Show' papers...

and a page about my niece Annika, who is a bit of a character. I used Basic Grey 'June Bug'...

Then last, I came up with this interpretation of a Nic Howard layout designed for Aussie Scrap Source. I have instructions and supplies for this class if any of you are interested. I had to photograph the pages separately but they come together to make a double page layout. The photos are of my Mums brother, Geoffrey. I love how the heritage photos work with this Basic Grey 'Nook & Pantry' papers...

I had a very exciting time in the shop last week with the arrival of my long awaited furniture shipment from Bali. It finally turned up on Thursday and I am stoked with it. I will show photos of some of the pieces soon - they are to die for!

On a personal note, Dean has started treatment for Leukaemia with a round of chemo which they are hoping will get him back into remission. He has been doing well however picked up a couple of bugs in the last few days so is battling with that and some brutal side effects from the chemo. Hopefully it will be all worth it when he comes out the other side...I'm hoping and praying for the best, and for Dean and Cassi to have strength.

That's all for today, bye for now.
