Bit Scared

I got the phone call today. My pre-op appointment is coming up soon. Which means my operation will most likely be on soon. I need to have at least my right thyroid removed.

So I'm going to make sure I will get a lot more scrapping done to keep my mind occupied.

Can't wait until it is all over with.

I'm still alive

I have been very quiet on here.

Haven't a lot to say really. My scrapbook mojo is falling through the cracks right now so I don't post if I don't have much to show.

Here is a layout I did for Scraptastic South West. Check out here for the comp details for a prize.

Here is another layout from one of the kits at Enchanted Scrapbooking.

Thats all for now.

Been so slack at blogging and scrapping in general. So hard to get my act into gear right now. Maybe because my daughter has been sick. My printer has run out of ink. Still have to go out and get some. I'm quite run down.

I did however get a page done of my forever family journal. At Forever Always. This is something that is important to me to finish. I'm not so concerned about the competition. Just want to finish at least one journal. Mini book whatever they are called.

I have however been given some kits from Enchanted Scrapbooking they are wonderful little kits. So hopefully tomorrow if Ella is better I can get some scrapping done.

Here is my Forever Family Journal page. the challenge was to make a page about extended family and include hidden journaling and use a transparency. My extended family in this case is all the wonderful friends I have through the years that have been like family to me. that have filled the gap. have been there for me through grief, sickness, divorce and happiness.

Thanks for looking :)

Scrapping wise I have had ups and downs. I was a design team member of a blog and now I am not. I was quite down about it but now I am quite happy. The whole thing was quite strange. A whole lot of other girls for the same.

I have started a challenge/comp at forever always to make a 'Forever Always, Forever Family' Book. Perfect for me right now. There are 6 challenges but my album has more than 6 pages so I will continue after the comp is finished.

Here is the cover.
Also a layout from a challenge at Bon Scraps.


Haven't got much more to say.

Have a nice Saturday.

Bonanza

Just started a new challenge. Well it started last week but just finished the layout.

Bon Scraps have a Scrap Bonanza happening. I'm having a shot at some of the challenges ( the layout ones at least).

My criteria was to use a monogram, use staples, journaling, arrange 3 or more photos in a shape. I wasn't adventurous had a photo strip shape. The paper had to be the same colour range as the photos.

Here is is.

Last year I did the Embellished Idol challenge. It is on again this year. I am thinking of giving it a try.

atc fun

Just finished 19 of these.

They are for a Swap in Blue Bazaar. The theme is Tactile. I just hope that my cards are tactile enough.

I hope the girls like them and I am looking forward to getting my cards. They are such a talented bunch.

Today 3 years ago

My beautiful little girl was born.

After being in hospital for a week because of Polyhydramnios (too much amniotic fluid) and being a footling breech. Ella was born C-Section.
She however didn't breath very well and couldn't feed so she had to be in ICU for a week. I am still so sad we didn't take any good photos. We have a few but not good quality.

Ethan is away with his Dad but will will be coming home this afternoon so we can celebrate together.

I am so grateful for my two children. My heart long for the ones I have lost. But so happy for the two I have got.
