5 years ago today.....

We were married!! It is our wedding anniversary today and unfortunately I have spent it on the lounge not being able to walk very well, I have done something to my knee which has caused it to swell up and be very painful, Mark thinks its a bit suss as he has just started holidays and I end up on the lounge not being able to do anything!!! in all seriousness though I dont know what is wrong with it and am hoping I wont be out of action for very long (I am secretly hoping I will be back at the gym next week and not the 6 week time frame my Mum gave me today!)

Here are a couple of OTP things, the first is a Heidi Swapp mirror album which I covered a bit with rub ons, I titled the front with 'the boy, the girl capturing 5 years' I havn't finished this yet but I will add photos and journalling from the past 5 years, I used Jenni Bowlin journalling cards for it.

The next thing is a box I covered with (Jenni Bowlin again) paper, I lined the inside with some felt, I also used a Delish rub on.

Well I really got to get of the computer and put my knee back up and take another dose of painkillers and some chocolate!

Happy Easter!

Here are a couple of other things I have been doing lately, the box was a plain one I picked up from a discount store, I took the fittings of then painted it and covered it with paper which I can't remember who made it, I loved the boy and girl on it!

The next thing I have done is an accordian album in a box, a pre-made album which I covered, I used a thick felt black ribbon for the spine, this will be an ongoing album of random shots from 2009, titled everyday moments 2009,I added a quote on the inside from Macbeth
which I really like
'I wonder what I did for God today;
How many times did I once pause and pray?
But I must find and serve Him in these ways,
For life is made of ordinary days.

waiting for the holidays.....

We are all counting down to the holidays this week! both Mark and Jake start their holidays at Easter, it will be nice to have Mark home again!

More girl layouts here, this post and the previous post are all the recent layouts from the past few weeks, I have also done a a few 'off the page' stuff which I will photograph in the near future, anyway first up is of Bethany titled 'I'm not your average girl' a few nice shots of Bethany.

'lovely little girl' is of Ella, she is wearing her beanie - mindless of the fact it was a warm day!

'capture the joy' is of the girls and I, they weren't that interested for a nice photo!


here's another one of Ella titled 'Beauty, and using probably the only photoshop action I can figure out! (changing some of the photo to black and white).

Last one is of Bethany titled '& savor every moment'.

Be back soon!

'Memories' layout - this photo of the kiddies was taken a couple of days before Christmas, it is quite difficult to take a nice picture of 3 children together - I'm not sure why that is!

the next freaky photos are of Jacob, he recently had a scary school disco so Grandma took him shopping for a scary mask, which he enjoyed scaring his sisters with!

'A fine day' is a layout of myself with the kids, Mark and I took the kids to the Botanical Gardens on Adelaide Cup Day about a month ago, we all had an enjoyable afternoon out together.

'Picture perfect' is a layout of Bethany, the photo was taken about a year ago now but it is one of my favs, I have scrapped this photo before but I wanted to get rid of the paper and the scraps.

'I see you' is one of Ella, she was playing on her own with the sheets hanging on the line, so I got the camera out, which she wasn't to happy about!
