Camping and Scrapping

Well we took the camper away for the first time on the weekend. We headed down to Tullebudgera Creek camping ground. It is a great park. They have pools there and one of them even has a waterslide. Mum, Bec, B & Mia, Nat, Joei & Rahni came to visit on Saturday and check out our setup. Mick and B had a ball on the waterslide, I think they had more fun than the kids. Anyway, here are a couple of pics of the camper setup. These were taken Sunday morning before it was pulled down and after a night of rain, yep rained ALL night and we had leaks. Lesson learnt. Next time we are getting a tarp to put over the top of the camper :)

Some Scrapping. This LO of Lochie was done for a challenge over at Scrapping Outback. The challenge was to use white cardstock with only the colour aqua. You could use as little or as much aqua as you want.

This was for the Feb sketch over at Scrapping Outback.

And this was the 4 producct challenge at Scrapping Outback. I love this photo of Angela and her BIG smile:)

Anyway, thanks for popping in. Make sure you leave a comment so that I know you have popped in.

Hi it has been a while since I have done a post. I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a good new year.

Well we went on our road trip, just over 5000kms all up and I think that we are all still getting over it. We had a great christmas in Mildura with all my family. It was awesome to catch up with everyone and meet the children of my cousins etc etc. I have included a family photo that I managed to get everyone all rounded up to get. There are only 3 missing from the photo, my 2 nephews and my cousins little man. Grandma & Grandpa were thrilled that we all made the effort to travel from near & far. The next family catch up is in 5 years in QLD.......WOO HOO no serious driving.

Whilst we were in Sydney we brought ourselves a camping trailer. We got a tow ball fitted whilst we were at dads and towed the trailer home. We have booked our first weekend away and are very excited.

Well got home and there was a few challenges to be done. This one is for Rachelle's 2010 challenge. Something that happened in 2009 that will change things in 2010. I have been to scrap this photo of Lochie since he was born and thought this was the perfect photo for his LO.


This LO was to create a scene

This photo of Angela was Christmas morning. She was very happy with her new jewels that Santa brought her

And the little man enjoying his bottle

And here is the WHOLE family, arent we a wild looking bunch????? :) I am so glad that I got this photo especially for the grandparents.

Anyway better be off and check what the kids are doing. Angela and Chris I think are wrestling and Lochie should be sleeping.

Back soon with more updates. Thanks for dropping by

Love

Big Girl turns 3

Here are some pics from Angela's birthday party.

We ended up having an ice cream cake because the banana cake that I cooked and was going to turn into a monkeys face didnt turn out like I had hoped :( I am pretty sure from these photo's that Angela enjoyed it :)


Ice cream cake all over her face

Waiting for mummy to cake the cake

This was on her actual birthday. Bec, B & Mia came up for dinner and cake.

Opening her talking kitchen. The look on her face was priceless :)

Well I have done a little bit of scrapping the last week or so but things have been quiet over at Scrapping Outback due to some very bad news. Rachelle the owners husband was involved in a serious car accident last week and is in a coma and on life support. I think all the girls on the forum are in shock. Sending Rach and her family lots of hugs and praying that Lyndon will make a full recovery.

We head off next Tuesday for our Christmas trip to Melbourne and then stopping in Sydney on the way home. We are looking forward to getting away and catching up with all our family and friends.

So if I dont get back on here before we go away, I would like to wish everyone a very safe and happy Christmas and a happy New Year.

Love

Hi

Here are some pics of the kids on Friday night. Angela was very cute when Lochie rolled over and she went and laid next to him :) Gotta love sibling love, lets just hope it stays like that :)

Well I cant believe that my little girl turns 3 on Wednesday. Can someone please tell me where the last 3 years have gone?????

Well I shall be back next weekend to post some pics from her "cheeky monkey" party.

Until then

Hi

I hope this post finds you all well. A BIG congrats to Bec and her family, they found out last week that they are having a little boy........YAY :) A little play dude for Lochie.

Love

Hi all

Well we have been on our scrapping weekend away and had an awesome time. I managed to get a few challenges done, will upload pics later :) Lochie was an absolute treasure, thank god!!!! That was my biggest issue about taking him was that he would be unsettled and I wouldnt get anything done. We are off again this weekend, going camping which should be alot of fun.

Love

Hi

Here are some LO's that I did last week. The card was for a card challenge. The card had to be "funky"

This one was another challenge for Ladies Place your Bids on Scrapping Outback. I love this photo of the kids :) So loving :)

And this one is for the November Rusty Pickle challenge. We had to use black & orange and 3 different Rusty Pickle papers. Thought this photo of Lochie playing the drums was cool so thats why the title is "Play that funky music white boy"

Well this weekend Lochie and I are off to a scrapping retreat. There is about 20 of us going and it should be an absolute ball. Hopefully Lochie will be a good boy so that I can get some scrapping done. Mick and Angela will be spending some quality time together at home:) They will probably catch up with B & Mia at some stage as Bec is also on the retreat.

For Micks birthday we have been asked to go camping with B, Bec & Mia. We are really looking forward to it, hopefully the weather will be good so the kids can go swimming.

Anyway, check back in after the weekend away.

Love

Nene :)

More LO's and weekend goss

Hi......I hope everyone had a great weekend. Our weekend was good. Saturday was the usual washing and then we went over to visit Irene & Jeff. Stayed for dinner and had a lovely visit. Yesterday we went to Carindale and Mick shouted himself a massage, came home and he cooked a YUMMY roast pork for tea.

Here are some challenges that I did last week. The card I gave to Irene as she had a knee op last week. It was made for bonus SO $$$'s.


This LO was for SO $$$'s and I have made the card to a similar style as the LO.

And this frame was for Leanne's altered frame on SO. I have decided I am going to give this to Grandma & Grandpa for Christmas. Because the whole family (all 48 of us) are going to Mildura for Christmas I thought it would be awesome to set the tripod up and get a photo of all of us that the grandparents can put in the frame as a memory keeper.

More challenges have been set for this month. Not stressing too much if I dont get them done at the moment cause next weekend I am off on a retreat with the girls. Looking forward to it. Lochie will be in his element, a room full of 18 women, 1 little girl and him :)

Take care,

Love

Nene :)
