Sam and i made a cake today, so i took some photos trying to practise a little more with my new camera

I think he ended up with more flour on himself!

I am looking forward to picking Mum and Dad up from the airport in the Morning..

He is such a cutie..

My little Nicholas is such a cutie..

Gotta Love a Weekend..

I really do enjoy the weekends. It gives me a chance to sink my teeth into some scrapping as well as doing family things with Adam and the boys.

I worked Friday night and Saturday morning. Then I did Sonya's class on Saturday afternoon, The Quirky things you say..

I have also completed a few other layouts this weekend. Country Paper craft has an Australia Day cyber crop happening this weekend with challenges for us to complete -- and here a few of them.

Some cute photos of Sam playing in the dirt out the back

Some Kalbarri photos of Sam at the Beach.

This is an old photo of Adam and his younger brother Damon.

(Ooops just realised they are all of Sam, I might have to scrap some of Nic this afternoon..)
We also went for a ride with Matt and Renee on Sunday morning around the river. I made

10.04 km's, which i was pretty chuffed with.

Adam has been mowing the lawns and doing some gardening today -

while I had Lesley with Reuben and Kiera up for a cuppa and a swim.. The kids had a great morning.

Hope you have a had a great Long Weekend!

Layout and Photos

Here is the layout i was talking about yesterday that I finished last night. It is the sketch 35 from Creative scrappers.

It's not the best photo of it, it looks a lot more colourful i real life.

Here are a few of my favourite photos i took over the weekend using my new camera.. Be careful you don't stand still for too long, i might just take a photo of you. I took 197 on the first weekend..LOL.. i was just learning!!

I am in heaven...!!

I'm a Lucky girl!

Whoo Hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Look a my new camera....... I am a very lucky girl.. I have been wanting to buy one of these for a few months. Last year Adam opened his mouth and said that he would match me dollar for dollar for ever cent that i could save. ( Silly man.. because i think he said it as an off the cuff comment...LOL) but i held him to it, and on Saturday, we drove around to 3 Harvey Normans to get one.
There is so much to learn and I cant wait to do this..



I have taken some great photos with it already and will post some later today. I gotta go and help Brett set up his new classroom. Aunty Cath is looking after the boys, hopefully they will be good for her..
I have also nearly finished another layout which i will post as well.. See you later today!

Spaghetti Mayhem
