Hayley Turns SIX

Last Monday Hayley Turned SIX, I would have posted these photo's earlier but the kids have been sick....you can tell winter is here with the nights getting chilly and the mornings getting hard to get out of bed lol. Hayley loved her big girl bike but wasn't able to have a big girl ride until yesterday with being sick with tonsillitis and asthma. I might add having a child with asthma is an expensive illness to have I am noticing $$$$$ But we are getting on top of it so this is good. We all ate plenty of chocolate cake and she did enjoy playing with dog and carry bag.

My Rascals

Good morning, just another day at the offfice 2day. This is a very bright and busy layout for me using alot of flowers and again some Purple Pumpkin embellies. You know when I get my camera out most of the time my kids just smile for me.....I think they know they will standing there until I get some good photos....hehe I have them fooled and it's all for them at the end of the day. While I was uploading this layout I had all three of my kids looking through the album of scrapped layouts reading the titles and journalling . Giggling and laughing and it was a great feeling of achievement that they liked what they saw. I am so glad I love scrappin.

Love This girl

After funning hectic all day with childrens sports and birthday parties on the weekend I never thought I was gonna fit in a layout. By the time we get all our jobs done ( washing, ironing, vaccuming,dusting and all that :) I must say our time as a mother is busy and if you do manage to get some free time (no children ) then thats a bonus and we do appreciate it. Well at least I do..... Today I have used some Bobunny:)

And of course some Purple Pumpkin

Homemade embellies.

I love this shop.....

And of course abit of mayaroad chipboard that

I have painted, threaded some twine through

the holes.

2 page layout using LearningCurve:

Good morning, my first layout for the week is a double using the lovely Learning Curve:) from Bo Bunny. This is one range I had stored for some back to schoolphoto's that I took in our garden before we went to school for the first time this year. just looking back at the photo's now I can see how much the children have changed. I must say this is one year where I was hoping the kids would be a little bit more independant with there school work, BUT so far I haven't gained much free time. Won't be long and I will show some photo's of our hard working DECK that we have been working on for ages..... I just love it and cannot believe it....

So here is my double layout using a photo of all three kids.

This is the first layout of Reagan.

and of course Hayley and Kelsey.

Here the little people holding hands is a

Martha Stewart punch that I loved.

And of course the little Apples are a martha

Stewart punch as well
Aren't they the cuttest. I have also used some

embellishments that went with the range as well.

The ART SHOW and my artists...

This is hayley's master piece that she has done and everyone in her class has done the same picture using different colours.

This picture was done by all the year one students and each petal around each flower has all the childrens names on it. The art work done by the whole class of every year was auctioned off to the highest bidder.

This is Kelsey's art work that everyone in her class was to do.

Kelsey's year masterpiece.

Reagan's Art work which he hasn't brought home yet....I wonder if it will make it or not.

And of course his year picture. On this canvas they have used real branches with leaves and some sand, I really liked this one but I never won any.....I thought i was quite generous with $$$ I hate to think how much people was willing to pay.

We have almost finished our decking that .....looks fantastic I must say .....and Yes I have been scrappin I will have a layout or 2 for you during the week until then have fun scrappin...

Goodna Flood Photo's - Brisbane

Here is some photos of our home town of Goodna. This is just one photo of what the streets looked like as many came to take photo's it was busy as some parked their cars and many walk miles to see. this is Queen street heading towards Eric st.

This is Smith street looking towards Queen st. On the left this is our Crazy Clark store

A close up of Crazy Clarks.

Another one looking down towards Queen st.

At this intersection on the right is where Crazy Clarks is on the corner and heading into the water on the right is where McDonalds was, we cannot see a roof
.

This photo is of the new Ipswich Road looking towards redbank, in the botton left corner is the underpass to Goodna which is full of water. The far right is the Brisbane river which has flooded all the brisbane tce residents of Goodna which includes the RSL and the railway station.

this is the brisbane tce over pass to Gails.

This is Church st ( my street ) as I come out my driveway onthe right this is what I'm faced with.

This is theAlice street in front on the right is a day care centre which is probably 12 months old.

this is my front yard on the right of my driveway.

this is the left of my driveway.

This is entering our driveway on the right.

This is my front yard looking out of my Dining Room window, in the middle of the water our bridge what we drive over to cross and the water on the ute was up to the bottom of the step.

Who would of thought we would see something close to the 1974 floods. When we recieved communication of what was heading our way was the scariest thing, NOT KNOWING, whether we would be SAFE. Two nights ago we sat the three kids down in front of the television to watch the weather and to explain what was happening in our area. To go through our evacuation plan with kids of what to do and where to go, what to expect and the look of concern on there faces!!!!!there toys .....will we pack them now with some clothes.....telling them we wont be able to take anything and our saftey is worth more would we have time ....do you pack....do you wait!!!!Being so luck to still have all our belongings and our lives is something to be thankful for and we are greatful. The people that have lost everything and knowing some of these people are living in our streetand the deaths around....Sohopefully tonight we are able to go for a walk to our locals streets to see how much the water has gone down...

She laughs and laughs

Good morning everyone, doesn't look like a nice day here in Brizzie, a few spots of rain this morning and very overcast. With a very hectic week so far I was still able to finish off a layout of Hayley using some of fancypants.
I also used some more Purple Pumpkin buttons.....I just love these things....
Hayley was acting up once again when I was trying to take her photo and managed to save atleast to photo's.
Off to work again today hope everyone has a great day.
