Ok so i have a HUGE post to do - Lots of pics - some LOs!! Have been super super busy the last week - I am completely buggered now - but that could be me being sick aswell!
So what did i do last week -Last sunday - went up to my friends house on the sat night and stayed the night so i could get up early on the sunday morning for more sunrise pics! I went up to Norah Head Lighthouse and got some beautiful pics again!! I havent edited many yet so cant really share yet! I then went back to my friends and took some photos of her and her boys - I got some fantastic photos too - they turned out REALLY well.
Especially the pics of her son Cooper - she has this heart shaped thing in her yard that has his name on it - so i posed him with it and i just LOVE it! She also had a tree chopped up the week before so had this big logs she was using for seats and they just photographed really great! I will post my fave up here soon - they are on my other puter!! Lets see Monday - I think was a pretty lazy day, although i did get an awesome phone call on monday - I got hired for a wedding!! WOOOHOOO!!!! I am sooo unbelievably stoked and excited!! Someone wants ME to take their wedding photos - How freaking kool! So next month i am shooting a wedding! CANT WAIT!!! Also visited a friend on monday night after we won volleyball! Tuesday - Stayed home all day! Wednesday - We were home most of the day - and then went up to a park with a friend after we got Matt from school and we went and had dinner at a friends house. Thursday was a super busy day -met up with my friend Kell in the morning for lunch and a bit of a shop. Then more shopping and paying bills etc. I got all of Alicias bday presents - I was sooo stoked too, I had l
aybyed them all at target but they werent on special when i did and they wont honour the special price anymore if you layby - so i cancelled it - and went and got it all again - there was 2 things they didnt have anymore but i replaced them with better and cheaper things - and i got a heap more clothes for $25 less! I was stoked! Got heaps more for less! So the princess got spoilt - as she always does!! LOL! Friday was my gorgeous little nephew Jordans bday - I didnt get to see him though as he was busy all day and i was stuck home with no car. Jono went down to watch the Sydney Kings play the last game of the basketball grandfinal - Sooo spewing the Kings lost though - They totally rock! I had a pretty relaxing day at home though - It was nice and quiet! Then i got to Cyber Crop with the girls from Scrap World! Always fun times! I hosted a trivia challenge and also a Truth or Dare Scrapping challenge. So even though i was actually home a lot - I was still sooo busy! I am trying to master photoshop - Bloody hate it! Although i did fall in love with actions today!! I LIKE them! Once i FINALLY figured out how to get them in! LOL! I have also scrapped a whole heap this week - I did 4 canvases for my Aunt for her bday. I also did a few LOs. Dont have pics of my canvases yet - i will have to get them when i go down in a few weeks.
So speaking of my aunts bday - thats what i did on saturday!! LOL! I went down for her 50th bday party.
Had an awesome time - it was so great catching up with all the family. I was spewing i couldnt take my kids though - Alicia had fevers on fri/sat so i didnt want to take her sick - and Mitch had them thurs/fri and had a bit of a cough too so i thought stuff it - i will just take no kids! It was great to have a nice relaxing night without them though - Dont get that very often. Although i do get a whole weekend down there soon - I decided to go away the weekend that is the anniversary of nans death - I thought i could just escape and have fun and not sit here thinking about it! Even mum thought it was a good idea!! LOL! So i am looking forward to that weekend now - which i wasnt before that. I miss nan sooo much and i really cant believe it has been nearly a whole year since she has been gone. Which also means i have had my car for nearly a year - OMG that has flown!! So anyway - back to the party! Was soo great to see everyone - I miss them all a lot - I lived down there for about a year i think (Which was a very troublesome year i must admit, i was a horrible teenager! LOL!) And i just dont get to see the family as much anymore - Heck i dont think i even went down there once last year - And in my effort to get to know my family again and be an actual part of it - This was the 3rd time this year i went down - Im impressed with myself!! LOL! But it is good - cause i am clicking with people again - I got to catch up with my cousin Nic - who i rarely see, she has the most beautiful little boy - and i have 3 kids! Our partying days are over but we still had a ball and were still talking at like 2am!! LOL! I lived with them for a while and me and Nic were like sisters - we ever fought like sisters! I have always missed not seeing her as often so was great to catch up! And her big sister - another cousin of mine - Kylie was there too - and OMG her daughter Emma - I am sooo in love with her - she is just BEAUTIFUL! And you know how you find some familes that just click so well together - her family is like that - her and her husband are just soooo well suited and their daughter is just perfect - so beautiful and sooo clever! I have told them i
want to do a family shoot with them!! I did a photo shoot with the little one at 1am! LOL! such a me thing to do too! But you have to check out the pics - HOW cute is she! I am totally spewing i never got pics of my little cousin Charlotte though - I asked her and she said no!! LOL! She is so shy and cute and just a total princess! And i cant believe how much she looks like my Aunty Kaz!! One thing about my family - all the kids are sooo cute!! I am totally annoyed though that i didnt get to catch up with my sister - AGAIN!! She is due in like 5/6 weeks and i wanna see the big belly! I wanted to meet my nephew and see how huge my niece has gotten - I am going to make sure i get a hold of her before i go down in 3 weeks though - I wanna see them. I was kinda happy though that my dad wasnt there - I havent seen him for a year and a half - and it would just be awkward and i was so glad to not have to deal with that! Might have to bite the bullet and just visit him next time!! LOL! They will be pissed though cause i wont have my kids that weekend either! LOL! Anyway - The party was awesome - lots of people - YUMMY food - free frozen alcohol drinks (Which i only had a few early on cause i had to drive!) - good music (Most of the time) I dont think i will ever forget my Aunty Kaz and Kylie getting up and singing Karaoke!! PMSL!! I sooo should have gotten pics of that! LOL! Me and
Relle left the party at like 2ish - and then went to hers for a coffee then at about 4 - I left and drove home! I got home at about 7 - I ended up stopping on the freeway for a little nap cause i was just stuffed! Gotta love the power naps!! HAHA!
Sooo sunday - My princess turned 3 - Can someone please tell me where the heck did those 3 years go??? Where is my baby gone? She is sooo big now and so grown up - you should listen to her talking! I am such a proud mum - both my boys had speech issues and needed speech therapy but Alicia is just a chatterbox! I love it! She is soo cute too - I have added a princess photo in here - she also had on high heels but the floor was heaps messy behind her so it looked crap so i used this more zoomed in pic instead! How cute are her curls! We had a really easy day at home - I ended up having a few little naps too - catching up on sleep!! LOL! I was soo glad when Jono took all the kids to his mums so i could cook the cupcakes for her bday and then have more
sleep! I was stuffed! So she had an awesome day anyway - got totally spoilt - she got the HUGEST doll house - and she really loves it too. It came with a heap of furniture and its really really tall too. Got a few barbies to go in it - although they have had it for 2 days and they have already lost the barbie and kens clothes!! LOL! Boys!!
So thats pretty much my week - Today i spent most of it sick in bed on my laptop trying to figure out photoshop or watching greys. Even had the kids in there with me - we had such a great nap!! LOL! I have now got fevers and feel ick - but mine is the flu and thats not what the kids had - i think my all-nighter got the better of me!! LOL! It was a bit chilly when it got late that night - and i didnt have my jacket. Plus smoking all night doesnt
help!! LOL! I have added in lots of pics and LOs!
OK the photos - My Aunty Debs family, 2 of the gorgeous Emma, 2 Layouts for SnB - Using the yummy new Dreamstree papers which i LOVE!!! I am sooo happy with both of them LOs, My Addiction LO is the Truth or Dare challenge that will be on each Cyber Crop at Scrap World - you either have to admit something - like my elegant bunny addiction - or scrap something - this month was to scrap a colour altered photo! If you are interested - you have until friday i think it is to get your entries in!! And just for good measure - Another onr of the gorgeous Emma!! Isnt she just beautiful!
