Yay, I'm a Nanny

Okay, The news is in. On Saturday February 25th Geoff And Georgi had an amazing, precious little boy. Charles Llewellyn Anderson.Georgi is doing an amazing job. Poor Charlie has had a few set backs with his health and Georgi is being a trouper. I am a very proud Nanny and David is as proud a Poppy as I.

 

 Oh and I did get a layout done last week but didn't get around to putting it up cause I was busy thinking about my little Charlie. 

This layout is of Donna and myself at Geoff & Georgi's engagement party in February 2011 at the Lord of the Isles. 

 

The comment if you can't read it say's "Cherish the moments for they to, become memories".

The Big 4

After being slack or busy last week and not scrapping I decided to be good this week and do 3 layouts. However I got into the craft room and was tidying and started to potter and got a fourth done.

The first is a layout of David and myself.

I love this layout and put some extra love into it cause it was Valentines day. We don't do Valentines day but since I was scrapping on the day I thought I'd do a love layout.

In this layout I sewed on the 2 trims of paper at the bottom and a little around the top right hand side of the page. It was my first time sewing.

I also enjoyed cutting out the flowers and adding some paper flowers in the photo below. I used my first pin in this and it most definitely won't be the last. I hope I don't become to pin addicted.

I just love both of these photo's and liked the difference between the color photo and the B&W photo. Nice for Valentine Days.

The second is a photo of David when he got his new mulcher. Off course he got a big one. Couldn't get a regular when, however he did acknowledge that there was an even bigger on that he didn't get. Thank the Lord. 

Okay, so layout 3 is also of David floating around in Kayangan Lake in the Philippines. It is so amazing there. We could not believe how many beautiful places there was there 'til we saw it with our own eyes. We had a big walk to get there, up some fairly rough cut rocks that they called steps and could not believe the end result. Truly awesome.

I didn't know what to do with this so I just got and pad of Tim Holtz Distress Ink and rubbed it over the page to give it something. It is fairly basic but I love it. 

And the last layout is of our beautiful friends Philip and Mary. These are some of the photo's we took of them when we went for a drive on Easter Saturday 2011 to Marysville. We stopped at Maroondah Dam for a walk after morning tea at Healseville. You can see their love for one another in their eyes and in all they do. They are an inspiring couple. God blessed us very much the day they came for a visit to our church while they we on holidays in Lara some years ago. I hope they come back again soon.

With this I had a My Minds Eye paper pack and I thought it matched nicely. I played a little with the distress ink again and creased it up a little and smudged over it a bit.   

Me Bad

Okay so I had been really good with my 52 weeks challenge until this week. Didn't go to good.

I worked Monday to Thursday for David at Lara Auto as Steve had a sore back so I had help out. Then I was busy catching up on the stuff around the house as I had been spending my spare time making my grand baby quilt to present to Georgi at the baby shower. 

 So as I named this post, me bad.

Layout 7 My Baby Sister

This weeks I only just did this layout this afternoon as I have spent my spare moments working on a quilt for my Grand baby who is due in 3weeks and 5 days. Yes, it is due on February 29th. That would be so cruel, only one birthday every 4 years.
Anyhow I did it on a photo of my sister Donna who is 6 years my junior. This photo was taken at Geoff and Georgi's engagement party in February 2011 at the Lord of the Ilses.

Last Minute Posting

This is a last minute post of my 3rd layout  for week 4. 

I went out to do a layout that I had started and couldn't feel it happening so pushed it aside and did this one.

My personal theme for the 52 weeks is to do photo's from 2011 however this one is from 2009 but I love it so thought heh, my theme, my right to change my mind.

This is Megan she is my Sisterchick.

 This flower in the top right corner was a mistake that I am so happy with. Go figure. Mistakes make for good scrapping.

By the way,
SISTERCHICK n.: a friend who shares the deepest wonders of your heart, loves you like a sister, and provides a reality check when you're being a brat.

Wow To Week 4 Layout

Okay, I had a craft night with Danielle Krivan (http://daniellekrivan.blogspot.com) and Amy Constantine (http://skiptomylou1.blogspot.com) Tuesday night and got 2 layouts done as well as lots of chatting and a great fun night.
So anyhow, I thought my personal rules for the 52 week layout is not a page per week but if I do 2 or even more pages in a week that would only count as 1 week. That way I will not have a big week and have a stock pile waiting to be posted.
Week 4 sees me posting 2 layouts.
The first is of my puppy, who is a naughty little bright light in my life. 

 

I'm sure he thinks I can't see him here. Just a like a little kid. Cute hey.

In this second  layout it’s just some of photos I love is my Apricot tree. I love having fruit trees. The sun comes through them in winter when they are bare and then we use then for shade in the spring summer. On to autumn we get to watch them loose there leaves and prepare us for the coming cold.

Oh and they extra blessing in all this is we get to eat the fruit. I so enjoyed eating fruit straight from the tree and sharing them with the birds. I know people get annoyed   the birds but I love to see them come and share. And yes Hunter does love to share a fresh apricot with me. He also loves banana & grapes. He only eats strawberries if they are cut up. Fussy little bugger.
