Lets Play Catch Up ....

Ok ... SO I had a baby girl - Camryn Paige !!! She is 4 weeks old and the last month has been a bit of a blur! BUT I am getting back into it and hopefully soon I will have some things for you!

Today I have started uploading my projects to Flickr! I thought I would use this way of showing my stuff along with my blog.

My Flickr Account

Here are a couple of Layouts I have done just before I had my little girl!

I'll have some more for you soon!

RECIPE Books !!!

I am a bit of a nutter when it comes to Recipe Books! What can I say! I LOVE making them! This one here is for my mum, who has been pestering me for some recipes for a while that I make at home! Its basically 2 pieces of cardboard, covered in paper, decorated and I punched some holes in it to put the rings on! Now all I have to do it type up the recipes, laminate them and stick em in!
Easy Peasy People!!!

Family History Project

For a long time now I have been BUSTING to do a Family History Album, but never knew where to start or how to go about it! SURE its easy you might think, but you TRY gathering names and dates and figure out what linage you will follow or if you will do 2 grandparents from each side, it really just does go on and on!

So I have started to PLAN this out!
So far I have:

This is my Nan, she was a Doll

A rough draft of the linage on both sides of the family

8 Photographs from my mum, who has the originals and I have the scanned copies! Full

NAMES and DATES of their BIRTHS, DEATHS & MARRIAGES

I have collected 12x12 papers that will best suit these time era's & will be looking for a nice D-Ring album to suit this project !

Look at my Pop, isn't he a spunk!
I am SO EXCITED to start this! As I am trying to cover both sides of my husband and my families, It will be tricky to have the album set out in the right order. I am doing this for my children so they get to know the generations gone before them. My family have so many stories about family members that I think it would be a shame not to remember them, how they met and fell in love etc...

Now since I am 40 weeks and 1 day pregnant lol This may take a while, and thats ok, I will be doing a baby album at the same time as well as adjusting to having 3 little girls! So bare with me!

It will be a fun ride! and I will be sharing every step of the way so if anyone out there wants to try the same thing, they can get helpful tips on what makes this an easy fun project to do.

The Recipe Book

Here is a little project that I had been working on the last week. My Sister Inlaw bought her first house and as a little gift I made her a Recipe Book! Since my printer is out of action I had to hand write all the recipes! SO its kinda like I dunno OLD School scrapbooking!
I hope it isn't too boring lol

Hand Made Gifts

I don't know about you but I know I LOVE it when people make me stuff! And I know my mum does too! Every year I have a tradition for my mum that I make her something for Mothers Day! I find its much more fun! So when it came to my close friend Sandys birthday! I thought she might like something made especially for her also! I made her the card and a little tag book, that had each letter in her name and a little saying that went with each letter about her!

Christmas Eve BBQ Apron Invites

These were so fun to make! We are having some family and a few close friends for a BBQ on Christmas Eve, sparklers, kids, good food, its going to be great! So I thought I would make some invites for the occasion! And well basically cause I'm obsessed with making stuff as most of my friends with tell you!

I was able to use an embosser (thanks mum) and embossing powder! I hadn't used it before for anything and I think I am now obsessed with another technique!

The Latest Page - Crawling

Today I think I got my MoJo back! I actually FINISHED a layout in a few hours! I'm so proud! This is the 2nd last page left in Indi's baby album ... tomorrow I plan to do the final page...
Her first Birthday!
