Been a while...

It has been ages since I blogged, I'd even forgotten my sign-in details. Haven't been scrapbooking (sob, sob). Thought I'd share the fact that Kate is now 3 and Lucy is almost 5! Here is Kate at her 3rd birthday party with her cake - Tinkerbell.

Face Paint

Here is a pic of Kate after daycare last week. The remains of her "patch" dog. She ran up to me and said "face" then "woof dog". Great language for her considering we are battling verbal dyspraxia. Have just spent the last hour and a bit mowing lawns. Came in to discover the girls have had a great time with Millie inside and there is lamb raisins and wee all over the couches. ARGH. That lamb is becoming a problem.

Meet our new addition!

This is Millie our lamb. She is 3/4 suffolk, so will be white and black when she is older, rather than the grey she is now. She is very cute, but is not drinking well. I guess she doesn't like cows milk, or fake lambs teats. Already she has found her way into the house and christened the carpet! Arghhhhhh. The girls love her, and she seems to enjoy being craddled and carried around. At the moment she is adorable, but ask me in two weeks time when she is eating my plants, piddling everywhere, and baa-ing at 5am.

No scrapbooking - photo's to share.

Things have been very busy with spring time on the farm, and sadly no scrapbooking has happened. I have managed to make a few cards for upcoming friends birthdays, but that is it. I was mowing the lawns the other night and snapped a couple of spur of the moment photo's of the girls so will share these. Can't believe how much Kate is growing up - not a baby any more!

Buddies - Mozzie and Lucy

This layout isn't quite complete - it still needs some journalling and date etc, but as I've had to dust off my overalls and gumboots for Spring on the farm, it may be a while before it is completed. Mozzie was our cat, named Mozzie by Lucy because she was a real biter, like a mosquito. Sadly she was run over at about 7 months old. The best wee pet - she used to play on the trampoline, ride in the basket on Lucy's bike, and bring crawlies from the creek inside! We still have Silver who we got at the same time, but he doesn't like the kids!

Calves are coming in now. Had to bottle feed some wee twins this morning as they hadn't had a feed from the cow. Kate was fascinated and impressed by the size of the bottle!!! Probably won't have many posts over the next few months while life is crazy busy. Had a play with some resin last night on photo blocks. If they turn out I may show them.

Up2scrap published

Apparently one of my layouts is published in the latest Up2scrap magazine. I haven't seen it yet, so hope it looks ok!!! Can't wait to get my hands on a copy......

Splash

I love these Kaiser papers - thought they were too old fashioned or boyish but used them anyway. They went well with the pics. I inked the edges of the paper layers in Java ink which made them stand out a lot better. The word and splash shapes are inked in blue, and have bling added. The photo doesn't do the layout justice, but you get the idea. This is Kate in her favourite place! Several times every day she asks for a bath, and when told no says "shower?"
