I have been waiting for this month to come for ages and now it is here. My Mum is finally here for a holiday for 2 weeks.. She is with my sister for one week and me for the other. We only live 15 min apart so we are all having some time together. Mum lives in New Zealand and I have been over here in Australia for 24 years next month. Cannot believe the time has just vanished.. My sister and her husband 12 years. So yes poor Mum misses out on my children alot. They are her only Grandchilden. Life and its challenges :-(

I just wanted to share a few fun photos of us all over the past 5 days.

This is Indiana my niece... we met her and her family up at the Eumundi Markets on Saturday. She is full of life and I love her so much.

Our of our clan on Mothers Day.. First one I have spent with Mum in 15 years.

Mum, Corey and Auntie Tan

Corey having a goofy moment... too much sugar I would say

I love my Mum

Today I finished my last shift for 6 days.. Im taking time off to spend quality time with Mum and we will have a ball together. We BOTH love art so we will get in a do a bit together. She is going to give my sewing machine and overlocker an overhaul and hopefully throw a few big day bed cushion covers together for me. Ill just twist her arm with a wine lol.... she is so easily tricked lol

I wish she was here next month so I could take her to the Brisbane Paper Craft show. She would love to come to something like that with me.

I will be there with bells on with my lovely girl Monika. We try and get there each year and stay for 2 nights in a nice hotel. Girls time out together. Gotta love it x

Thats it for me right now.. Will go and post my WEEK 16 Project Life pics.

Til then..... love all round to you all

12 Years Later - By Lisa Webb

Hello lovelies.. Today I would like to share my layout I have done

using the lovely Bella Baby Boy Mini Theme Paperz.

This boy is the apple of my eyes as I was told 3 months after I had Danielle my daughter I would never be able to have any more children. 12 years later I gave birth to this special wee Prince. My life is now complete. I love the emotion in my daughters eyes here as she was crying with joy and sadness. Joy to finally have her own little brother and sadness that it was not only her and I anymore. She got over these emotions in 24 hrs.. but it was breathtaking to see it in her eyes.

I just love this range as it is so soft and beautiful. I have used the cute Fiskars Lacy Double border Punch for the bottom of my rocking horse paper. So cute and just gives it such a cute finish. I have also used my favorite Therm-O-Web 3D foam squares on the train and the mushroom for dimension.

This month we are featuring Fiskars awesome collection of punches.. They are fantastic and give papers a great border and totally change the look of a piece of paper. This is one of my favourite border punches I have used in this layout today.

PRODUCT LIST:

Bella Baby Boy Mini theme Paperz - Snippets

Bella Baby Boy Mini Them Paperz - Picture Frame

Thanks for dropping in today.. I have my Mum here from New Zealand for two weeks.. I picked her up at the airport tonight. We get to celebrate Mothers Day together on Sunday for the first time in 15 years. We are soo excited.

Happy Mothers Day to you all out there.

Happy scrapping.. Lisa x

Guest Designer over at The Scrapbook Store

Hello everyone and I hope you are all getting all your warmies out for the coming winter.. We are pretty lucky here in Qld as our winters are simply glorious.. Days of about 18 degrees and our mornings much cooler like 5 but nothing like a lot of you suffer.

Today I would like to share this layout I have created using the cute Fancy Pants Down by the Sea collection as part of my Guest Designer contribution over at The Scrapbook Store.

My hubby and son went to Tangalooma fishing for the day yesterday as it was a perfect day both on the water and in the sky. My son was over excited to catch this (liddle fishy wishy) but was happy to throw it back in as it was a bit (teeny weeny) lol.

I have already printed out the photo and done up a layout for him which he now wants on his wall in his room.. Im sure this will change in a few years.. He is 10 so still pretty happy with the simple little things I do for him.

Family Getaway

Well we have finally got away for our 6 days away in Port Douglas.. Far North Qld.

We are here to attend the Camera House AGM but we also have a little holiday out of it as well. Ken has been doing lots of the meetings and Corey and I have been doing it tough out by the pool and down town once a day on the local shuttle bus.

It is really quite sad though that up here in FNQ the cyclones and storms have really made an impact on the tourism (or lack of) up here.. Very sad to see so many businesses struggling. It is really nice to be in the slow pace of life I must say though.. No one is in a rush, the bus will stop in the middle of the road for you, no abuse or road rage, everyone is very friendly which I so miss living down south.. But.... I wouldn't like up here again if you paid me. I love the Sunny Coast. I am so happy where I live now. This will always be part of me up here in FNQ as I lived in Mackay for 15 years.. but I am in my element now where we have pulled up stumps.

Here are a few photos of our holiday I would like to share with you all.
