Spring Fun Paper Pack Freebie

I was going through my files particularly Pattern Papers & elements in which I have created.

I found this paper pick I did for a down under crop at digiscrapdivas a long time ago. Not a lot of people received it and it's just sitting on my Hard Drive not being used, so if you like it... feel free to download it here

Here is a Preview:










Leave me a comment If you do download this, just so know if anyone at all was interested in it, as I have have some embellishments to go with it.

Progress with Katrina

Last night Katrina slept in her bed in her new room for the whole night. She didn't wake up at all. Which meant I got a good sleep, but I also woke up at one stage wondering if everything was OK and wondering if the baby monitor was working properly, so I had to go and check on her, but all was fine.

I hope this continues, although I'm not expecting miracles just because it happened once last night.

Also this morning Katrina did poo on the potty for the first time. It was a tiny pebble poo, but still it was something and we all praised her for it, so that she knows it's a good thing to do from now on out.

Update

On Wednesday I too Katrina for her 18 month Chickenpox immunization. She was such a good girl. She only cried a little and we back to running around happily within minutes.

That night was Katrina's first night in her room. She did well. She woke up 2 times, the first time she was quite scared, the second time was at 5:AM and she was a little teary but before long was clapping hands. I figured it was time for a bottle and that got her back off to sleep for a while.

It feels kind of sad, knowing that in the middle of the night I can't just lift my head a little and instantly see that she's OK and yet I really only need to enter the next room if I feel the need to check on her.

It's also pretty damn good to have my room back. I can get into my own wardrobe and access anything there I want (even if half of the clothes don't fit me!). The extra floorspace is great to have again and best of all a bedside table... Gosh I missed that.

I have been feeling flat as far as scrapping, so while I have been to DSD I haven't really participated or spent much time there, even if my computer has been logged in for half the day. I'm hoping a good sleep and some free time will change this feeling tomorrow.

Retail Therapy

Today I went shopping. I needed to get out of the house as my mum has been driving me mad.

So Today I bought April Scrapbooks etc, Memory Makers best of the Masters Special edition magazines. Nursery rhymes Box set and Noddy toy for Katrina. I got myself a bead necklace and earrings, a bolero style black cardigan, a bluish-green tie up cardigan and a 3 1/4 sleeve top in colors black, white, teal and purple. Then I bought add on cartridges of Dora the explorer and blue's clues for Katrina's Learn through music toy (which I have put away for her birthday). I also got her some socks and I got a black hardcover journal (which would be perfect to alter).

Boy of boy do I know how to spend up BIG!!

I just have to mention how much I love my iPod as well. I have a FM transmitter in my car, so I listen to my iPod through my car stereo and it's the best thing ever!! I was driving along, windows open and had my music up loud and I think it did wonders as I am in the best mood.

I am also in the process of getting Katrina in her own room at the moment. (I know, I know... about time!!) We have been super busy cleaning out the spare (junk) room.
and will have her cot in there by the afternoon. I hope we have a smooth transition, but who knows as she's getting through 4 or so teeth at the moment so the last few nights haven't exactly been wonderful.

Lucky Me

Over at DSD there is a Blog roll! ~Who blogged today? thread and I posted my new blog and once that I updated. And lucky little me recieved a wonderul RAK just now from Kathy Moore which was a $5 Gift Voucher for use at The Shabby Shoppe! I couldn't believe how lucky I was just to be picked let alone get that as my RAK! Thanks so much Kathy. Thanks for making my day!

Just so you know this is what I got:














I just had to add the extra $1.50 and its downloading right now!
And I just poped on to see if I had any new email, thinking the usual P4D stuff etc.

Busy Little Scrapper

I just did this whole post and stupidly stuffed it up and lost it... so here I go trying to re-create it!

Andrew wasn't feeling so great today so we didn't visit his parents today. His mum looked after Katrina last night, so at least they didn't miss out on seeing her.

I wish this could happen more often though, as I got 3 layouts and 2 cards completed!
2 of the layouts and 1 of the cards I can post just yet, but stay tuned for them at a later date.

Poor little Katrina tripped over when we went for a little walk outside this afternoon and grazed her leg. She didn't cry but let out a bit of a whine. Same when I cleaned her up with some dettol. She's a tough little girl. I would have been bawling! She was rather intrigued with the band-aid i put on her leg though, as she's never had one of those until now!

The Comedy Club

Last night I had my Uncle Paul's Surprise 50th Birthday at The Comedy Club. I had a fab night, and so did everyone else.

We were treated to The comedic Talents of MC for the night Matt Elsbury who's opening section was just too damn hilarious with his bagging of music and playing the sections in particular via iPod. I Loved it and as soon as he mentioned a lot of the songs I was aware of what he was going to comment on before he even said it, but had never thought about how stupid those lines are! Then we had Rowan Gazzard and finally Dave Grant All were extremely funny and made for a fab night.

It was great to catch up with some of my cousins too, as I haven't seen them in a while.

My Uncle was surprised but happy we were all there and for someone who didn't want to celebrate or make a big thing about his 50th had a great time and wasn't quite ready to call it quits for the night once the show was over!

This night had definitely wet my appetite to go to these type of things more often, as it was something I had wanted to do previously, but never really did anything about it. Now I'm off searching the Melboourne International Comedy festival Site for other things I can go and see soon.

Katrina's 18 month check up went well. She seems to be doing everything she should and perhaps just a little more, so I'm glad that went well.

I managed to post the visor to Suzy too so I am starting to get on top of my stuff to do.

I went shopping with my mum this evening as she wanted some help in selecting a top for tomorrow night. She was in luck but I wasn't as I found a skirt I really liked. My mum even said it had a slimming effect for me, but we discovered it had a tear on the outside and it was the only one left in my size. Don't you just hate that!!

Tomorrow night I have my uncle's th Surprise Party and the Comedy Club, so hopefully it will be a great night and will be plenty of laughs.

To Do List
* Find out about any costs for Katrina's Chickenpox immunization & book her in for it
* Write up the Q&A section for the DSD newsletter once I get the answers

Enjoying the Quiet

I just got up not long ago and for the first time in a long while I am the only one awake. Bubs is still napping and my Parents & Andrew aren't home.

So I am taking this moment to enjoy the quiet (which is a rare thing these days) and not having anyone around. I would love to do this more often!

This afternoon I have Katrina's 18 month check up. So hopefully all will be well with that.

I also need to remember to send Suzy the Shampoo Visor I got for her while I am out.

New Beginnings

Another Day... A New Blog.

I really don't know what happened with my old one. It just went blank and since I could no longer log in (due to it being blank) It is time to start over with a new beginning. It's taken me a month or two just to start this one, so hoefully I can update it often or at least once a week anyway.

So here goes... I guess Im gonna have to get busy and work out how to customize this one now too!!
