Phew... Finished!


I bought this Buzz & Bloom overlay at scrap camp & knew exactly what I wanted to do with it, however doing it was a little trickier than expected. They are photos of Scott & I when we were first going out, we were so cute! They are carefully cut & glued under or over the hearts. It took ages to find pics that would fit. I had to add some bling of'course!


Daniel got his glasses today. He looks really nice in them & he has already noticed things he didn't know he couldn't see before. Poor thing! So hopefully he will do better at school now that he will be able to see the board. Daniel, Nana(my mum) & I were playing games to see who could read the furthest away with & without our glasses on, lots of fun. LOL! Will get a pic of him ASAP.

I'm famous!

I'm on the NZ Scrapbook blog! I'm so proud! LOL. I was the last one working cos I was not going home until I had finished, the others had packed up to go shopping, but not me! I am very happy with the result tho. The LO is not 'me' which is why I like to go to those things, to do something different.

Money, Money, Money!!!!

Daniel's teacher recons he can't see the board in class so we took him to the optomertrist. The poor thing!!! He can only see about a meter infront of him!!! This might explain his "unco-ordination" with sport etc, he can only see the ball when it is almost on top of him. Kids glasses seem to be like bikinis, the less there is the more they cost!!!! He has a stigmatism in his left eye that they have caught early enuff to be able to fix, at the cost of $200 every 2 months!!! I let him choose which ever frames he wanted, he has to waer them so he needs to like them. He chose these cool blue metalic flexible ones (the most expensive) but they are able to take the new lenses with out being replaced.
We still haven't finished paying for his speach threopy or his dentist bill......

"Money, money, money, must be funny in a rich mans world......"

Yay! $2 shop!!

Don't we look cool? I had heaps of fun finding our costumes & it's AMAZING what u can get at the $2 shops! Had a fun time drinking (more than ever before) & dancing to the 80's music. I enjoyed the 80's more this time round!! They had '16 Candles', 'St. Elmos Fire' & 'the breakfast Club' movies playing in the background. They were only missing 'Werid Sceince', LOL! Most of the guest got into the spirit & dressed up, so that was good.
Took mum to NZ Scrapbook in Wairau Park; she hadn't been there before & she wanted some stuff for her Cuttlebug (that we got her for Mothers Day). Nicola was an angel playing with the toys & 'cooking' us 'dinner' (rice, noodles & chicken). I got a few things too.......

Party time!

We are going to an 80's fancy dress party on Saturday night. I am so excited! I have my costume all sorted out, I am doing Cindy Lauper & Scott is going as Axel Rose. But no, I am not going to die my hair orange again, it was not a good look!!! Just bought some colour hairspray from the $2 shop, didn't show up on my hair, but it did on Daniels!!!!!! I chased him around with the can, he's not impressed & has just got out of shower from washing it off. Naughty mummy! LOL!!! I wasn't fast enuff to get a photo.
