I survived the heat wave!!

I am so glad that the weather has returned to a very comfortable temperature! it was the first time last night that the ceiling fan wasnt on while we were asleep in over 2 weeks, and I was awoken by the sound of quietness! I woke up around midnight and it was dead quiet!! I had got so used to the humming of the ceiling fan that I forgot just how quiet it does get at night - until Ella woke! my nights lately are so broken with her waking, it is becoming so tiresome.

Here are some more layouts, they are of the girls, I seem to be scrapping Ella more than anyone else, she features in all my layouts here, I love the photo in 'Lean on me' Bethany (the older one) is leaning on Ella, I know I have said this before but I just love watching them play together they are the best of friends!!

Well it is a quick update tonight its 11pm - way past bedtime, one day till the Easter break and from tomorrow night my hubby and I will be on opposite sides again! lol! footy is back!!! my team plays tomorrow in a rematch of last year grand final, and as like any other Port fan I do not want to relive that awful moment!


I will leave with a message for my Mum, it is so nice to have you home again, I did miss you when you went on your long holiday! (and it wasnt because I needed a babysitter!) I love you Mum!!!!

back again-

with some more of my creations, first up is one of Jacob titled Be of good character Jacob, I used Romans 5 v1-5 for the journalling and used the gorgeous Basic Grey two scoops paper,

next is Silly but Sweet, I was preparing tea when I turned around and found Jacob had sat himself and Bethany up on the kitchen bench - I had 2 options - tell him of or scrap it! lol!

next, you & me is of Mark and I, photo was taken last year sometime, I cut out the flowers from an American Crafts paper after I bought it at Spotlight, as I didnt need any more paper I bought it on the condition I would use it straight away! hence a real easy layout!

Found You is a layout of Bethany, I took the photo of her while she was trying to hide in one of the trees out the back,

last one Vision of Beauty is another one of Bethany, she posed for this beautiful photo, she was pretending to be asleep while she was sitting on the back step - it is one of the most gorgeous photos of her!

I still have heaps more finished layouts, Im amazed at how much I have been scrapping lately - I think I have found my groove!

I am settling in to the gym, I absolutely love it! I love hopping on the treadmill with my new ipod that Mark kindly bought me, I love the time out and the freedom to just exercise, I am having a couple of sessions with a personal trainer so I can do some weights and build and reclaim my toned body! LOL!!!!!

Its the start of a long weekend here and we are in a heatwave at the moment, we are starting to lose quite a few established plants now due to the water restrictions and the fact we have had no rain for months, our front lawn is gone and out the back I have lost a few rose bushes, sob sob. so over this heat!!

Nothing much else to add, I went to the Clipsal a couple of weeks ago with Mark, poor man, he usually goes with his work mates in a corporate box but this year because I asked he took me, and as he said to me when we left before it had ended (because it was a bit boring) he said 'now you know what this is like, next year I can go back with my mates!' and I said 'thats fine dear!'
