Yesterday was crazy hair day at school…talk about crazy colours…I LOVE IT!!

And a huge parcel arrived from Queensland also…Granny and Grandpa Tom sent Ash a birthday present…he couldn’t wait a till today, don’t blame him really so he ripped it up on the front step….

And by the look on his face, I think he LOVES it…..

I can’t believe the year is nearly up. My little Ashton turned 6 today, we had a party last week but today was the official b’day, cake and all.

The best part was being able to finally give him his present that has been hiding in my room under his nose for months….

He loved it…especially the box….first call of action…get in it!!!

It has been great, now all we need is for the rain to dry up so we can take it outside…we live on a dirt road….many pot holes… so that has been the last couple of days…no scrapping I’m afraid but it will come after Xmas I’m sure… but if you want to have a scrapping fix pop over to ScrapAmemory, the girls are doing an awesome job….so many layouts and ideas…

I’m off to bed and hopefully get a good nights sleep…so hot last night!

Till next time, keep scrappin

IT’S TIME TO GET A BARGAIN LADIES!!

Tanja

Ashton had his first school concert on Friday night which was great to witness. They all worked hard to memorize so many lines to three xmas carols and the highlight would have to be “We wish you a ripper Christmas” …classic!

Ash is also turning 6 on the 17th, being so close to Xmas we thought it would be best to have his party early as people are going away etc.

Bryan thought I was mad wanting to take 6 boys to the Cinemas and McDonalds but it was the easiest birthday ever and the kids had a ball. Bryan ended up coming with us, which was awesome as I know he has so much work to do but I really loved sharing it with him. Three of the mothers came also so it was a great little party for all…the boys had their own row in the cinemas, so I think that was kinda special.

The movie was

Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs

Totally hilarious! definitely gonna buy it when it comes out. I recommend it!

The kids had a ball at McDonalds…ate, played, watched Ashton open his presents and ate again (icecream cones).

I think one of the highlights of a day among many, was the fact his bestfriend came with us in our car!

Ashton loved his day and at dinner he told me it was the best day ever…what more can a mother ask for….

I’m off to bed…been a busy but joyess day. I hope your having one of those kinda weekends also…

Well I am happy to say I have finished this years cards already!I have made two different  styles, one lot for the lovely ladies at Aussie Twilight Mums and the others for family and friends. This stamp set was from the Spring Mini and I would have to say was my favourite in the end. It was called Tree Trimmings.

I always try to incorporate the kids photos in so that everyone can see how much they are growing every year.

And here’s my twilight one, for those who haven’t read the books….there is an apple on the front cover of the first one lol…obsessed much!? Oh well I hope they like them. So there you go, I do make cards from time to time. In fact I think I really need to sit down and make a big bunch of blank ones for back ups….. oh yes I nearly forgot. My son is turning 6 in two weeks (scray I know) and we are heading to the movies with his mates.. Here is the invite I made for it..

I love these Sweet Treat Cups ($6.50 for 12) and the punch to match , they are available through the new Summer Mini and they are loads of fun!

I think that’s it for now. I am currently working on my December Scrapbooking Sketch Layout, I should have it up today or tomorrow at the latest.

I hope you have a great day.

Till next time
