opps...

its been awhile since i updated this blog...lots have been happening... lets see where do i start...

well i said in my last post that i quit my job and i now only have 3 more shifts to go... im very excited and i so cant wait to get out of that place... lets just say its not a nice place to be at at the moment... so im looking forward to my last shift which is next saturday night yeahhh...

Then ill have heaps of time to catch up with all my gorgeous friends and yes you guessed it scrap lots lol...

I havnt shared many pages latley but here are all my pages that i have done for Lucy's blog Sketch World where im a Diva Designer for her.. her sketches are awsome definatley go and check them out....

Here are my pages i have done so far:













i have some more that i have to get done for her... also a few card sketches as well which i might get done tomorrow if i get a chance....



I did a christmas photo shoot with kaitlyn today... very cute photos... i have a few christmas pages i have to do so these will definatley come in handy... we put up most of our christmas stuff today... i know i know a bit early but kaitlyn will be at her dads next weekend so we did it this weekend so she could help out...




in other things scrapping i have done quite a bit these last 2 days i have been really into making off the page stuff and have found many great sites with instructions on how to make chrissy decorations.. here are 2 of them that i have completed



First is my christmas tree... this is totally handmade using patterned papers and a scalloped stencil and lots of double sided tape lol



and this is my fav so far... this is made out of 24 matchboxes (oh yeah if anyone needs any matches let me know lol i have thousands now LOL) then i just stuck them all together and used a bottom and top made out of thick chipbaord covered each mach box is made to look like a draw and its and advent calender for kaitlyn so when she opens up each one it has a small surprise in it for her...




isnt that cute and it didnt take me that long to make them either...



















here are some more photos of kaitlyn decorating our christmas tree... she was very proud of herself as this was the first year she could reach the top of the tree (on a chair lol) to put the star on top.. she did it all by herself (gregdad just had to straighten it lol)
and check these out my mum hand made these for us... Kaitlyn, my brother josh and I... everything on these stockings is done by hand including making the stocking itself.. my mum has made 7 of these now for family ....they are totally gorgeous... Kaitlyn got hers today as a special surprise so santa knows to leave her little goodies in her stocking....
well i think i wont bore you anymore lol... i know tracy has tagged me but ill be back to do that soon i promise... i also have another blog prompt to do also so will get that caught up soon too...
Oh forgot to say im joining in agian this year with Shimelle for her Christmas journal... if you join for a year you get every year after that free... so since i did it last year this year its free for me... i didnt get much done last year lol so hopefully this year i will cross fingers for me ....

Huge update...

So you may want to get a cuppa lol...

Ok where to start.... oh yes our QLD holiday

We had the best time... the flight up was so much fun Kaitlyn loved her first plane flight she was a bit nervous at first but once we got going she was fine she loved it... here she is sitting in the plane waiting to take off...

So the first day we went to Dream World.. this was Kaitlyn's favourite place.. she is such a little dare devil and went on most of the rides that she was allowed to go on with height restrictions etc... she had a lot of fun running around all the diffrent places in there...we got to go into the big brother house... that was fun to see.. here is kaitlyn in the lounge room of the big brother house




The next day we traveled up to Australia Zoo.. it took us 2.5hrs to get there due to huge storms.. when we got there they had had a huge electrical storm so there was no power there... it was a bit dissapointing there wasnt what we thought it would be like... so we walked around the park a bit a few things we didnt get to see like the tigers etc due to the huge storm.. we got a photo taken with a huge snake it was so heavy... we walked around patting all the kangaroos etc too which was ok they were all a bit wet though so not nice to pat etc lol...

we also got to see Steve Irwins truck and you could sit in it for photos etc...kaitlyn and the big croc


the next day we went to movie world with Kylie and her family... Kylie and I were like big kids and went on all the rides lol.. it was lots of fun



the next day was sea world... again we went with kylie and her family.. it was great having them up there kaitlyn loved having connor and shanice to go on the rides with and yes it was fun i had kylie to come on the big rides with me LOL




so that was our holiday.. we had a great time didnt want to come home... we had major storms at night but the days were gorgeous and the place we stayed in was really nice to.. kaitlyn loved the pool and we got to swim in them a couple of time...

Ok what else.. well kaitlyn had her 7th birthday and got totally spoilt... she got lots of gorgeous presents from everyone...



she is starting to collect Beanie Kids (they are teddies and you can get many diffrent types of ones).. she got some more for her birthday from her aunty Danielle and then she also got some money so she went and bought some more today... all up now she has got 20 beanie kids 1 bigger one and 2 figurines... she wants to collect lots more... dont ask me where we are going to put them lol..


On the scrapping front not alot happening.. i did go and spend the night last weekend at the Scrapgirls retreat that they had up at penrith.. that was a great night got to catch up with some good friends of mine... didnt sleep much lol and didnt get alot of scrapping done but it was a fun time....
