I know I have been .....

MIA for a long time now! procrastination is a big problem for me sometimes!

I will start of first with a few of my recent layouts, first up 'look mum' is of Ella, the full title reads 'look mum I just ate your flavoured lip balm!', the picture shows Ellas lips covered with one of my lip balms - which she destroyed!!

Next 'sweet baby' is a sketch taken from pencil lines
a baby photo of Ella.

'As good as it gets' is a family shot of Mark and the kids - for some reason I thought I would be able to take a nice family photo where everyone would smile and look at the camera! (dont know what I was thinking) - the sub title reads this is as good as it gets (photowise).

4th up is another one of Ella 'lil miss sweet cheeks', she does have the cutest chubbiest sweet cheeks! I used the new Scenic Route papers.

Last up is Jacob 'you are a wally', whenever I try to take photos of him he pulls a face at the last minute, it is seriously hard to take a decent photo of him!

The last time I blogged I said about how we were all getting better again after the colds and flu, well since then we have all had it again, with the girls and I getting it for the 3rd time, so I am so looking forward to warmer weather and sunshine.

Marks work had an award night a couple of weeks ago, the Steel Industry Awards, his company was one of the sponsors of someone who had won, so for me it really meant a really nice cooked meal, free drinks and the chance to buy and wear a new dress!! plus Jacob was excited when I told him it was hosted by Cosi who was a winner on one of The Biggest Loser shows, well thats probably the only exciting thing that has happened to me lately!

I WILL be back soon - within a week - I promise!!!

Natalie great to see the update and all your beautiful layouts. Love checking out your work - just gorgeous. Sad to hear too that you have all been sick again. It has been a bad year for that this year - we have also suffered from recurring flu's and sicknesses as well and it just wears you down. Praying for a quick recovering for you all and looking forward to meeting you IRL in November.

Hello Natalie,
Love your layouts and your kids are gorgeous.Especially love Jacob ~your a wally~.I can so relate to that with Bruce.
I can never get a photo of him without pulling a funny face.
Take care and send my love to your family.
