Also going through my stash and making up some yummy

Sunday Afternoon with the help of my 3yr old...lol he really loves getting crafty

and to see the look on his face to see what button we just made

Aren't they totally Cute!...lol

still on with the show..... what have i  been creating...well besides a mess...lol

I got the Scrap the Boys layout finished!

With the theme "Collections"

i instantly thought of Ash's Slowly Growing collections of Lego that he just LOVES!

so into the lego i go!

Just love the look

of consintration on Ash's Face when he gets into creation mode with his lego..

totally magic!

I used some Cosmic Crieckt "Get HAppy" collection and some of my twine and one of those cute buttons!

Next i got into some Of Kaisercraft Saturday Sketch May #2   

getting into Nan's Favourites!

Lockie enjoying he most fav delight....

Apple and Cinnimon Muffins

he's totally fav since he was 9 months old :)

Then i have been getting busy with Scrap Therapy Challenges !

ONe was a colour challenge, i picked to work with the brown/yellow/black/white

 

I thought i would journal about before Justin and the kids....well

lets juswt say the only things i could think of that i missed were the sleep ins....

lol!

Using the October Afternoon Papers and some more twine...i think i'm getting addicted to this twine...lol

Also got a fuss cutting card challenge done too!

doiles and my own fabric button and yellow glitter threads, as well as the word
mum is out of chippie letters :)

i came up with this colour fest!

how sweet are these bunny buttons!

totally heart melting!

as well as my journaling....lol it reads

There is something magical about the word "Mum",

to me I instantly feel warmth caring and a hint of a smile.ONly after becoming a mum

myself i could understand how and why one word could be so powerful.

This is one photo that i believe captures a small glimps of love i see in my mum,

with her crystal blue eyes and warm smile always

open for an embracing Hug. Through this woman i learned wrong from wright,

love and laughter is the best medican.

i love her :)

then i ran out of space!...lol i wrote the journaling around the page to become a boarder :)

i'm so happy with how bright and beautiful this layout turned out :)

and i had a good reason to use the pink! :)

Well with all this said and done, i better get a wriggle on and help with the dinner and the dishes

no play unless the work is done....unless you sneek off...lol

not always an option when the kids seem to beable to smell you out?!...lol
