Daniel is 8!

Yesterday was the big birthday party. The boys had a great time eating & playing PS3. Then I took 7 boys to see Speed Racer at the local movie theatre. It was a mission to keep them all quiet & in their seats. Was a fun movie tho & they all enjoyed it.

Finished my Stampin' Up! layout. At the demonstration we did a 8x8 so i have made it into a 12 x 12.

Stampin' Up!

Went to a Stampin' Up! party last night. Their stamps are so cool, but not cheap! I only got 2 jumbo roller stamps (& handle) 'so swirly' & 'scattered sunshine'. They will be here in about a week, can't wait!! Also 'want' all of the new Cricut cartridges out at NZS, hehe.

Ain't he handsome!

My beautiful big boy! He turns 8 next Tuesday, man that makes me feel old! LOL!

Big thanks to Danice for telling me how to resize the photo to go on web.

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......"
