Challenge time

Well so much for trying to post once a month, sorry I'm just not that great at this blogging thing, with 3 young girls there isn't much time between school, Kindy, gymnastics, soccer,swimming lessons and housework, I don't get a lot of "me" time. But this past weekend my DH gave me some time out to hang out with my BF and we even did a little scrapping. With decided to give the Scrappin Patch challenge a go. http://scrappinpatch.blogspot.co.nz

I scanned an old photo of my Mum on my new Canon scanner/printer, which I am loving. And used up some old Stampin Up DSP, the staple & masking I found most difficult to include (the butterflies are masked underneath).

Scrapbook layout

This was a kit I bought at SENZ last year, I just love it.

Farewell card

One of the carers at daycare left recently, she had taken care of both Miss 3 & Miss 5 and was greatly loved by both. We will truly miss her. I made this card for her, it was cased but I apologise for not remembering where from.

Other than this card there hasn't been a lot of time for crafting as I've been helping out my in-laws, I have a friend coming over on Thursday night to scrapbook and I hope to finish off a couple of incomplete pages.

Happy belated Valentines Day

We don't usually go over board but this year I put a little surprise package in hubby's lunch bag ( photo below), along with a phot of our girls for his office. He came home with roses, wine & yummy Indian takeaways for dinner.
I had fun with the washi tape.

A tidy craft table

Well here it is, a tidy craft table. I'm still shuffling things around while I find out where things are best housed so have only labeled my draws with post-it notes for now. Lets see how long it remains so organised for.

First day of school...

And a new chapter begins. Our eldest daughter started school today, she was up at 6am getting ready as she was super excited, she didn't show any shyness and was happy for me to go and leave her in class, she made me proud. No tears, but I did feel nervous for her as we were walking to school, it was strange. Can't believe my baby girl is 5 and going to school already, where have those years gone? Now I'm hanging out with my two younger daughters waiting till we can go get her. Hope she's had a great day

Daycare thank you

Tomorrow is Miss K's last day at daycare, she's been going to the same daycare for 4 years and a couple of the carers have been there since she started so it's a big day for our family. I've been busy making some little thank you gifts, I've put some Hersey's Kisses in the pillow boxes and have put the carers initial on the label.
I've also used this for the Southern Girls challenge this week, which was to make something to say "thanks".
