A PRODUCTIVE WEEKEND ...

Well .... scrapbooking wise anyway (the housework has suffered yet again!!).
Managed to get a few LO's done this weekend which was a really good feeling.
There is always something to sacrafice in order to enjoy a weekend of scrapping .... not to worry, the ironing, washing, vacuuming etc will wait!!

I hope this post is going to upload ok cause blogger is doint all sorts of weird things ... here goes ...


These pics were taken on our way down to Canberra about 18mths ago. We turned off to a little rest area to do morning tea and it was sooo quaint with all the leaves everywhere. Unfortunately my photos were a little underdeveloped and the colours came out a bit "pasty". Never mind.


I love Great Keppel Island! I had been there many years ago (prior husband, children etc) on a holiday with a group of girlfriends and had a fab time. On our last visit it was a different atmosphere (being a family holiday) but equally as fab and just beautiful. Now, you won't believe this .... i left the camera behind !#*?!! Mortal Sin!! So, we purchased one of the dreadful disposable cameras; however, i must say, we did get a few pretty good pics - so for that i am thankful for disposable cameras!


This is my nephew, Jacob! I took these pics at Xmas whislt he was playing with a piece of the foam packaging from the box of the present we brought him. Isn't is so true that old theory about the money you spend on little kids presents and they find such enjoyment with the simplest non expensive things like wrapping paper, foam packaging etc. LOL !! Anyway, he is a really cute photogenic (sp?) little fellow but an absolute nightmare to take photos of!! Don't be fooled, i took about 30 photos to get these few lovely pics (thank god for digital cameras!) It's not that he is bothered be having his photo taken, it is just that he is such a 'livewire' it is hard to get him still in one place for a mere second to take a photo! He is such funny little thing!!



I
I blogged part of this LO the other day (for the the SCRAPBOOKnBITS competition) but decided to make it a double LO cause i had so many pics of my little man's first day of school that i wanted to include! (They are meant to be the other way around)

Well, today we are off on one of our traditions .... the last day of the school hols we always do something special (Blake's Choice)as a family day out. Usually out to lunch and then who knows??!

Hope you all had a great weekend! Good luck to all the kiddies going back to school and all the mums/dads sending one of their babies for their first day!!

Cheers,
