4 Sleeps till Christmas

Hi all,

Nothing major happening here, just getting everything ready for xmas.

All presents are wrapped, grocery shopping is finished, just now need to make the cheesecakes and chocolate balls and dips.

I forgot to write something else in my last post.

I am going to the PINK Concert next year. I can't wait. It's not till Aug though, so the waiting begins.

I have Miss S here at the moment. She stayed the night as her mum and dad had a work xmas party to Head off to. As I am typing I can here her in the bed making all sorts of noises. Its so funny. She is such a little cutie. 10 months old now.

I bought myself a new front loader washing machine with the money we all received, I also need to send my car in to have a tune and a few other little things done and whatever is left I am putting aside to help get that little close to buying the Miniature Australian bulldog that we want. They are so cute.

We went and had a look at some as there is a breeder in Frankston. They showed us a couple of pups that were 2 weeks old. They fit into the palm of your hand.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

On the scrapping front nothing much exciting. I have managed to finish 1 LO.

It is a sketch for Forever Always. And a Double.

Products Used: CS, BG and MM pp's, Kaiser Rhinestones and Pearls, Lace, Distress Ink, AC Thickers, Prima Bling Swirls and Flowers, Kindy Glitz, BG Alphas Stickers and Carolees Creations ABC's, and Colorbok Journal Stax. Think that's all.

I need for do a photo Shoot with my girls yet, but they had one done with santa yesterday.

Today we hare heading off to a friends to see there new born son (first child).

I think that's all for now.
Take care

Xmas Carols night and more.......

Back again,

I needed to finish updating my blog. As it would have been way to much to add into the last post.

* I had a lovely lunch with Cindy and Kade on Friday. Kade had his photo with Santa too. I loved his facial expressions.

* Found out on Friday arvo that my mum and dad are back together, and have bought a house in Gympie.

* My younger had a scare with Breast Cancer. Glad to here that all is ok and it wasn't cancer.

* I only have 1 more layby to pick up from Big W. As it is DS Lites I want to keep them on a little longer. I will probably pick them up on Thursday. Have to make sure they work before wrapping them.

* Jasmine is heading off to the Clayton Monash Hospital on Thursday the 18th, as her school choir group will be singing there. I'm hoping I can also jump onto the bus as well, saves me driving there.

* Scrapbook Creations want another LO, so from never having anything published I am going to have 2 in issue 64 (Animal Gallery) and 1 in Issue 66 (Running Circle Gallery).

* I won a $15 voucher in a sketch comp, the LO was called Dream.

* Friday night Anabell had a friend sleep over. They had a great time and played Buzz on playstation.

* Yesterday (Sat), Anabell decided to clean her room. She has thrown away so much. Ready for xmas. LOL gotta love that.

* On the 10th, the girls had there school Christmas Carols Night. Here are a couple of pics of them. I even managed to get one of Rik to his disgust......LOL

**************************************************

* Jasmine has been diagnosed with what is called Sever's Disease. Not serious, but she can't do any sports for awhile until it heals. So no Kick Boxing, running, jumping on the tramp, nothing. She is not allowed to wear flat shoes either. Jasmine has told me that when she walks she feels like a popping feeling is happening in her heel, so I bought her a brace to support her heel. So far it is working. I am figuring it is the tendon moving around in her heel and that is the popping sensation she is feeling.

Sever's disease occurs in children when the growth plate (which is the growing part of the heel) is injured. The foot is one of the first body parts to grow to full size. This usually occurs in early puberty. During this time, bones often grow faster than muscles and tendons. As a result, muscles and tendons become tight. The heel area is less flexible. During weight-bearing activity (activity performed while standing), the tight heel tendons may put too much pressure at the back of the heel (where the Achilles tendon attaches).

Well thats all I think for the moment. Can't think of anything else.

Crafty Matters

Hi all,

Hope everyone is well.
I am all ready for xmas. Presents bought and all wrapped. Glad that is all over and done with, as the shops are getting very busy now.

We put our Christmas tree up on the 1st.

Miss S Elf Dress looked a little to plain for me so I took it of her mum and decided to put some bells on it. I wanted to do a little more but J said that just the bells were enough.

So here are the before and after photos.

BEFORE

AFTER

AND A FEW CLOSE UPS

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Here is a Lo that I have done for the 123 Challenge Blog. December Challenge is to do a LO with:

1. a tree

2. Paint

3. Lots of Bling

So this is my interpretation.

Products Used: CS, Paint, Kindy Glitz, Kaiser Rhinestones, Hambly Rub-ons, Ink, Pens, AC Thickers, and Prima Stamps.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Next are the 2 note books that I made for the girls teachers.

Jasmine and Anabell's teachers are so different from each other and I went with there personalities to decide on the colour schemes.

Jasmines Teachers Notebook:

Anabell's Teachers Notebook:

I wouldn't normally use these colours together, but I don't think it came out to bad. LOL if you knew Anabell's teacher you would understand why all these colours.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The Next is called a 3D Flower Ball. It is made up of 12 Origami Flowers. Each flower has 5 petals, so that adds up to 60 petals to make this flower ball. It took awhile to make, but it looks great.

THE 12 FLOWERS

THE FLOWER BALL FINISHED

A CLOSE UP OF THE FLOWER BALL

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I think I will leave it here as there is lots more to catch up on but I will do that in the next post. I will have to do it in the next couple of days.

Take care
