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.

Us girls

Ken and Corey on Mothers Day in Mooloolaba for breakfast

Me and my liddle man on Mothers Day.. He took his money box into Lorna Jane and asked for a gift voucher for me for Mothers Day. So awesome. He has $30 in change.

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.

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

MAY BLOG HOP..... EXCITING STUFF

Hello and I'm so glad you have joined us for the May Blog Hop over at RRBF.

This month over at RRBF is all about our Mums... and us Mum's ourselves of course. Today I have desgined this card for my Mum using the lovely Reminisce and Mother Nature collection of papers and embellishments. I am super duper excited about Mothers Day this year as my Mum arrives in Australia from New Zealand this coming Thursday and we will be spending our first Mothers Day together in 15 years.

The colours in these collections are stunning together and I love the feminine vintage feel to them.

I hope you all have a great Mothers Day sharing the love between your families.

So now is the time to pop on over to Becky Olsens blog and carry on with the blog hop.
