I am so excited....I had a visit from my brother Steven and his wife Gail this week.....i haven't seen him for nearly 6yrs....It was SO good to see them.....it was like no time had passed......the only change was his grey hair or lack of.......we spent four days catching up on just about anything and everything....and then they tell us they are coming back up at Christmas time.....and with them they will be bringing my nephew and his daughter.....little Summer.....she is two now and from the way talk about her, she is just beautiful.....
So all this sitting around for the past few days has really got the creative juices flowing.....mind you i have now been given a new subjuect to scrapbook.....you guesed it.....Summer......and much to my delight......you got...girly pages.....
Have a great week ahead.....

Why do long week-ends always feel so short... We decided that after 3yrs, we need a week-end away....so we packed up the girls and off we went....and now that the girls are getting older, we are getting to that stage where the girls would rather not come with us....but dad put his foot down and as it turned out we all had a great time....We headed for Alex Heads up the coast...

We stayed at the Seaforth.....and it was great.....here are some photos....this was our view from out balcony

Why is it that while your away trying to unwind.....that you spend the week-end eating total crap.....i feel so sick after the amount of naughty food that i ate.....look out gym here i come.....actually one thing i thought was really good.......i didn't end up taking any scrapbooking stuff away with me and even though i did take my gym gear....i didn't use it........i was so proud of myself.....i can honestly say that i did have a relaxing week-end.....

Even though it was a little on the cool side.....well for me anyway.....Glenn and I did manage a nice stroll along the beach.....we even sat and watched the over 55's surf contest....and let me say, that while they were out in the water....you couldn't tell weather they were 15 or 55....they were really good.....Glenn even picked up some really flat and interesting pebbles along the beach....he said they were for my pages that i was going to do on our week-end......well i take it I'm doing a layout now.....As for the girls, they spent most of the week-end in the room watching movies......and we took them shopping as usual.....then back to the room for more movies....well next time they can stay home......mind you they did have fun once dad had a few drinks and they decided to have a pillow fight at 10pm.......

Night In with the girls....

OMG don't we just love taking photos.....well we thought it was about time....every week or so, the girls and I get together and catch up.....Krissy and I decided it was time to crash Nic's house and of course Krissy's camera is never far away.....we were meant to get some stampin done, but as usual we got very little done.....maybe next time.......

As you all know, boy layouts are not my strong point but i thought it was about time i shared some layouts with you.....The first was for out "Kits", the second was for out Cricut Class and I just had to throw in a girly one.....we are just waiting on few items and this will be available again as a kit.

They are all nice and easy, which is really good when you have scrappers block.....We are going away for the long week-end, and being the night owl that i am.....you got it......I'm taking some scrappin stuff with me......so fingers crossed that the nice sea breeze and ocean views gets my creative juices flowing again.....have a great week-end .......xxx
