Birthday Catch Up

Guess whose birthday this is?
Can you tell by who is blowing out the candles? No!
Can you tell by the number of candles? Maybe.

This was the first time DH was at home on his birthday for a good few years.

Malachi celebrated his birthday in July. This was just a little acknowledgement that it actually was his birthday.

Declan really wanted a wafer creation filled with marshmallows. That's what he got! Plus some.

I may or may not scrapbook these events. You'll just have to wait and see. :)

Last Year This Year

I've finished my first layout for this year - and it's of Christmas last year.

We had a lovely Christmas and this layout * just captures some of our happy Christmas moments**.


*Photographed as best as I could on my iPhone cos Soph has my camera to keep up with her photo-a-day while she is away.

** Including, but not only...
100 white balloons filled with helium,
going to the beach at 7.30 in the morning,
Christmas service at CBC,
a beautiful roast dinner,
yummy dessert,
swimming in the pool.
And best of all...
the people!

It's been a long time

One of the many sunset photos I have taken from our lounge room window.

I'm sorry to all my friends and followers who come and check out my blog wondering, hoping if there will be a new blog post to read.

Ok, well I've moved house, endured a bout of extreme pain and a hospital visit, enjoyed Christmas and New Year, unpacked my art room (mostly), and I've done a gazillion other things that fill up my already full life. Meanwhile (that is, in between all that and the gazillion other things), I have been writing blog posts in my head, taking photos with and without layouts in mind, and I have even started doing One Little Word 2012 with Ali Edwards at Big Picture Classes.

So, Happy New Year, and this is what you (and I) can look forward to...

But you are going to have to wait - I'm having surgery on Friday 13th (that's fine with me) and then, God willing, I will be back with some updates.

While you are waiting, I'd love it if you could leave me a message and say 'Hi'.

:D
