All Things Crafty: Busy, Busy, Busy........

Well it has been a very busy month since I last blogged...... I have been busy with the usual family events as well as trying to get a few projects done.

My Aunty Christina and my cousin Kellyn arrived a few weeks ago from America. We have just gone down to see them and it felt like I needed more visits as really one day was not quite enough. I really should have stayed longer. They were here in Australia only about 5 years ago so hopefully they will be back again in another 5 years. My Aunty Christina has always been my favourite aunty. I still remember her leaving Australia on a TAA plane (I'm sure that is what it was called back then) and waving at the top of the stairs. I was only 7 at the time. It is amazing what you remember from your childhood.

Christina we didn't have enough time together, I am missing you already.......

I made for my Aunty a calendar with lots of photos of the family for her to remember us. I also made up a few Kaiser wood items with photos for my cousins in America. Then I had to make my mother a Mothers Day present and being that she is nearly hopeless at remembering birthdays I made her a calendar for the wall with hopefully all the birthdays on it that she needs to remember. She just needs to look at it. Hey Mum..........

I have also finally finished my BESTEST Friend's wedding album (that I started last year at the Scrapbooking Retreat). I will be seeing Katrina, Brenton and Prudence in July when I take the girls down. I am sure they will love it.

A sneak peak at the album....... Not giving too much away....

I start my studies on Monday. Well I have sort of been studying the last couple of weeks but with all my projects I just couldn't concerntrate on the studying. Monday is the day I start, head down. So I will have to put all my scrapbooking gear away out of sight as I am sure if I am sitting at my table and see a page or two I won't be able to concerntrate again.

So Friday nights will be my escape and probably the only time I will get to scrapbook. Maybe I will be able to squeeze a page or two in during the week and the weekends. And I have the second Sunday of each month at the Scrap Club. Looking forward to tomorrow scrappin with friends.

The children are doing great. Kirsty has finished exams for this semester and Makayla is doing more and more each day. I think we will have the toilet training down pat in the next couple of months. And she is great little talker, I wonder who she gets that from........
