HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAREN !

Happy Birthday to my sister Karen!
(this is a pic of her with her two little munchkins)



On Friday night i took her out to dinner and then to the movies to see 27 DRESSES .... great chic flick! We had a great night.

... i made her this gift ....



An album (Piggy Tales Hide & Seek Album) i scrapped with Jacob's baby photos.
Jacob is three and a half and Karen still hasn't had a chance to do a baby album for him so i thought this would be a great gift. And the 'hide & seek' album was perfect with its' little hidden flap sections etc ... here are some of the other pages.









I also got to do a quick LO with my new scrummy LOVE ELSIE ...



I love this photo of Blake taken recently at Wildlife World (Darling Harbour) in the butterfly enclosure.

And whilst i am sharing ... this is a LO i done in October last year which was accepted to be published ... but ... i got cold feet and never sent it in :O(
(won't dare tell Blake i never sent it cause he was quite excited about having his pic in a mag) ... never mind, maybe next time.



The theme behind this LO was Blake thinking he was soooo cool at the snow and had become so confident with his snow skiing that he was reluctant to attend the lessons we had booked for him cause "Mum, i can ski ..."!


Hope you all had a great weekend.

Talk soon,
JULIE x
