Who wants leftovers???

Haha - these were all leftover  bits and pieces  I had from all the Layouts I  had done in Dalby  with Doona and Lauren and Sarah -  so thats why its  leftovers!!!


This particular  day on the Gold Cost was a King tide and we went to have a look at the changing  ocean and  landline...it was SO WINDY - I hated it - but of course none of the boys did!!!!!

WOW - two days in a row!!!

Are you in shock?  I am - except that I cheated and I did  this last  night and scheduled it for today  because we have a full on day and I want get on here at all!!!   CHEATER SKEETER!!! 


I did this one at Donnas at Dalby  back in August - I just loved the colours and it was probably one of my faves  from  the  20 I did that weekend!!   and I love the picture of little Miss Teleah - she  melts my heart!!!

SO unblogworthy !!!!!

I feel so bad - I thought I would  get time to scrap  and  blog and  enjoy the school holidays....instead our  bestie mates from Melbourne  decided on a spur of the moment  week on the Gold Coast so we could spend some time together - so we have pretty much done that  every day!!  LOTS of beach and whale watching and swimming and  just loving kicking  back  with our  friends.  They have three kids  VERY  similar ages  to ours - our eldest  are 5 days apart if that  gives you an indication!!!!!  Our  youngest are threee months  apart so the kids are inseparable and will miss each other  heaps  when they  leave!!!! I do have  a little bit of show and tell though........


My gorgeous  Lachlan at a party we went to last year - he is always needing a haircut!!!!  LOL

Back later   with some more I promise!!!!

and so time flies......

Its September - how on earth did that happen already!!!  At the end of this month my  baby boy monkey will turn 10!!!!  I remember the end of this pregnancy  so clearly  because those last few weeks at home were  FULL of 911 reports .  Endlessly, so much so that we turned the TV off because the two other boys were only  2 and 3.  I remember  seeing Joshuas face just once as the news report showed  the planes hitting the Twin towers and he asked" Mum why is all the news bad in the world?"  So the TV went off and didnt go back on again for probably a month!! 

So its September and that means that  very soon all our visitors  start  again - My Mum and Dad , my sister and her family, my brother and his family, Shanes Mum and Dad  and some friends in between!!!!!!  We cant wait - we love that our friends and family  choose to spend their  holiday time coming to the Gold Coast and visiting us!!!  And the weather is getting warmer so  that will  be  FABULOUS!!

Ive been scrapping   for the  Twiddleybitz show at  Brisbane  this weekend - make sure you drop by and Say Hi to the Twiddley team!! - sadly I wont be there this time -  I have a MASSIVE  weekend planned - cant say too much - Ill tell you about it when  its  done and dusted !!!!

In the meantime I thought I should show you a couple more bits from my weekend in Dalby at the end of August - scrapped up a storm!!


My gorgeous Docker boy - 



Oh - this one I did on Saturday night  - very late!!!!


I love this layout - I love this photo and I love the  2 people in the photo!!!!
