Mondays Mood

Well Im not sure how im feeling today....
Im off to work - Sienna off to school - Zac is staying home....
I would prefer to stay home and clean out some more stuff as I didnt get the room finished nor the scrap stuff started.
But I am looking forward to some adult convo at work...

Wish I could just go in for 4 hours and come home.....

Anyhoo

Time to shower - pack Sienna's lunch and get sorted - hope you have a great day

Hope the day goes well Peta.

Kate has a few spots that are still a bit suss so another home day although thinking of going to the doctor to make sure they aren't infected.
Must do a few things around the house - washings on so I must attack the laundry today

have a fabulous day

probably best to get them checked Deb.... otherwise she will get bad scars if they are infected for too long

I hope work goes smoothly for you Peta

and yep have Kate checked as they can scar easilly

I am up dressed and now chatting while drinking my coffee
Im of to work today but am only doing 5hrs or less lol I hope

have the salvos and life house coming to pick up some crap
drop the boys at OOSH

drop the girls down town
there is busker in city centre tody
so will work there for a couple of hrs
back to the office to make some phone calls for tomorrows kids day

and so hoping the sun make an appearance

morning girls
ive decided that the several loads of washing i have done WILL be hung out today regardless of rain, i have no choice we are running out of clothes and its getting uncontrollable, stupid weather and no dryer

lots of running around for you today tam, hope all goes well.
the drs sounds like a good idea deb.
peta i hope your day goes quick, must be strange just having the two kids to organise!

strange - it was awesome Kate!!!
Zac wass till alseep when i left for work - so only Sienna to do - there was no yelling - no need to get cranky...

I coonot beleive how good she is being.... playing on her own - not whinging - not being definant... i think this will do her good too mind you she asks every 30mins when Meah & CJ are coming home

Good Morning
A lovely sunny day here today. About to make pancakes for brunch & then get stuck into some scrapping I love the school holidays & no routine.

Hope you get your washing dry Kate.

Glad to hear Sienna is being good Peta.

You sound busy Tam.

Hope Kate & her spots are ok Deb.

I have some housework to do too today, but that can wait til later.

Hope you all have a great day

have a great day at work Tam
Looks like we might get some rain too Kate, hope not as the washing line is completely full
Yum, pancakes Cherie! We had french toast with raspberries this morning

My girls are playing schools they have had silent reading, music, art and dance. Grace has just put her tuckshop order on the bench
A couple of Kate's spots I was worried about have now cleared up a bit so will wait until tomorrow to see what the other two do as they were the last two to appear late last week - one's on the sole of her foot and one on her fingers

that good Deb and hope the rest clear up soon

well my 5 hrs has turned into 9hrs
so home and tea on

and Im of to have drinks with the busker at 7.30

mind you a shower and bed is a better option lol

Hi girls,

Glad to hear Kate is on the mend Deb

Hope the rain gave you a break today Kate.

Gosh I am so envious of you Cherie - still one more week of school to go here I don't know about the kids but I'm looking forward to the break!

Sounds like a busy day Tam. Enjoy your evening out.

Hehe Peta, I've only had one child for a week and the difference it makes is incredible - enjoy your peace. Angus gets home tomorrow and while I'm desperate to see him I'm guessing he and Zoe will have a disagreement within 24 hours of getting back. Though he just rang and she spent ages talking to him so she is definitely missing him too.

I had work and then parent-teacher interviews for both kids today. Too much thinking, now my head hurts!

Well as i dont know many of you just yet I'll just jump right in.

I do hope little Kate gets better soon its no good having spots at any time.

Kate, washing, umm you wanna come do mine?? 4 kids and loads of linen you can imagine the constant pile I have.

All that talk of pancakes and french toast has given me a great idea for tomorrows breakfast.

I hope the rain stays away or I will go stir crazy with 4 kids indoors all day.

Hope everyone has a great relaxing evening tonight. I want to start scrapping but dont know where to start.

HI all
It's been an exhausting but definately well-worth-it fun day at the Melbourne Show for us today!! The kids couldn't believe their eyes with all the fun stuff to do! Haven't been to the show for YEARS lol

Hope everyone had a great day, I'll be catching up on my washing too Kate, no dryer here either, so the sunshine will be very much welcomed here!
Hope Kate's spots aren't infected Deb, but yeh I would get them checked too.
Bummer about work Peta, know what you mean about adult convo's tho, definately a positive!
Welcome Tera, definately some great sketches in the sept comp to get you inspired to scrap, just take it one sketch at a time and in no time you'll have an album filled, its been great!!
Hope the PTS went well Ali, sounds like an exhausting day for you, hopefully you've been able to put your feet up tonight.
Am loving the school holidays here too Cherie, no routine, fantastic for jammie days, might have to schedule one of those in our plans at some stage

Hoping to get some scrapping done tomorrow, am too stuffed tonight hehe.

didnt even know melbourne had a show on right now laura glad the kids enjoyed it

teresa go through your photos and find one that jumps out at you to scrap that's a good starting off point

Ok I have a few questions if this is ok.

Paint? what kind of paint do you use and where do i get some from? It looks like it could be fun

Albums and pages, what albums do you suggest?

I noticed someone mentioned in one of the pages in the gallery a butterfly punch, where could I source this from I love butterflies

can someone explain the puzzle, and the sketch to me please.

TIA

okay shop plug time - Teresa - you can get it all from me!

I dont have the albums and punches on the shop as they are bulky and costly to post - but happy to do a pay for exact postage on larger items

email me peta@scrapbookingfromscratch.com or call me - number in logo

Puzzle - is where you use the pieces listed to create a layout - check this LINK

Sketches - use the sketch as the base for your layout - it doesn't have to be exactly like the sketch - just go witht he flow... check the gallery at how everyone uses the sketches in different ways

ditto what peta said- she will set you up, she is like our drug dealer

i use ring binder type albums as my pages are bulky. but tend to have a lot of pages stored in pizza boxes at the moment!
paint is cheap and peta has some in great colours- i use a tool called a lil chizler to spread mine on my papers but you could use something like an old credit card or a sponge brush or whatever you feel comfortable using- experiment!!! that's the fun part of it.
