Hmmmm... random thoughts

I dont really have anything in particular to write about today but was in the mood for just rambling on about nothing... wow how priviledged are you? Any of you that have children will know what I mean when I say that Go Diego Go is on in the background and Miss Ella is totally engrossed, yeh I know I can hear you from here, I shouldnt be using the tv as a babysitter.... but geez I just really need some time out. Hubby is at work and Miss Ella is not only teething, learning to walk and a BRAT she also is refusing to sleep more than 2 hours at a time... which is starting to make me as grumbly as she is. I always listened when people said that being a Mum really is hard work and at times I would say that it isnt that bad, but when it comes to weeks like this I know exactly why my Mum wanted to make sure I really was ready to have a child. I think the hardest part for me is that as a parent you totally give up yourself and your independence because there is just no time for it, or when there is time for it, its not the right time... not even sure if that makes sense hahaha!! It's funny because as challenging as it is at times, I wouldnt give it up for the world, there is nothing as amazing and beautiful as the love you have for your own children.

New hair and my first scrapping wins!

Ok, so who is like me and when they walk out of the hairdresser after getting there hair cut and styled feels like a million dollars... yeh ok.. so it may cost that much each time I get it done, but the feeling that I get when I walk out the door actually feeling like a respectable human being is soo worth the money ;) I got my hair done today, coloured, cut and foils and I only just changed to a new hairdresser... I was sooo worried that a big chunk of hair would go missing or something but it is absolutely perfect... shame about the face it has to go on :P HAHA! so needless to say i will definately be going back, thanks Amanda!

other news from me is that I actually won something! Not sure exactly what just yet... but I won a sketch challenge for the previous finger paint LO (see the post below) and I also won a competition for the best photo... it was a picture of tulips that I took in Bowral at the tulip festival. Ohhh i love tulips and now I love them even more. They are just stunning flowers, which I why I suppose I chose to have them in my bridal bouquet!

So here is a pic of my new hair ;) BEC- If u've got any cookies, put them down :P Oh wait... its prob too late because this blog thing posts the pics at the top of the post hahaha... sorry hun!!

Well this week has been fantastic or maybe just busy... Ella got immunised on Tuesday and now is sprouting out lovely colours in her nappies, yes you all did need to know that! I also got some more scrapbooking done, the littlescrapbookshop, www.littlescrapbookshop.com.au held a retreat in Merroo and those that didnt go got to participate in a cyber crop kind of retreat. It was fab. All in all I completed 1 double LO and two single page LO's. So now I feel like I am a scrapper! HAHA.. here I am only having done a total of five LO's and already I am hooked on it. It is funny because it totally relaxed yet totally frustrates me at the same time. If something doesnt end up looking how i picture it or I lose something i wanted to use (because I am using my lounge room to scrap at the moment) I end up screaming, BUT when the LO is complete I cant even describe the great feeling of accomplishment that I get, even if i think that it doesnt look that great, I still feel happy. Soo anyways, here are the new LO's I completed. Thanks for looking!

Joining the world of Scrapbooking!

;) So I have now officially joined the scrapbooking world. I thought about it and ventured into shops dozens of times but always walked out intimidated by how great everyone's pages looked and thought I could never possibly make something as fantastic as that... BUT then one day I just thought ... why am I so worried about what other people think of what I create... scrapbooking should be something for me and as long as I am happy with what I make then so be it (even though I would sure love to hear that they look great, like anyone does HAHA).. soooo I took the plunge ;) I have bought a few things so far and can see how easily people must build up their collections... and how expensive a habit it can become! Sooo anyway I have my first LO to share with you guys, so be kind! It is my very first LO ever.. I have dabbled in digital scrapbooking before but always thought that there was something missing in the end... I didnt ever get around to printing them out and having something tangible to showfor the time and effort I had put into making a page, but now with paper scrapbooking I do! So here it is! ;) Leave me a comment... I need some scrapbooking blog buddies! Forgive me for not quite knowing how to take a photo of the LO yet hehehe!
