P365 Day 17 – Jan 17th 2008

Big Owie right between the eyes. Thomas was standing on a round bolster cushion on the floor and of course slipped and fell. But not on the floor – on his wooden toy train. It was a little scray actually. He had that silent cry where he didn’t even take a breath for a few seconds. Then the screaming started and even mummy’s magic kisses couldn’t make it better immediately.

Baby Love

I have been creating quite few LOs featuring child yet to be named (Peanut) lately. This is a new thing for me because I didn’t actually start digi scrapping until Thomas was about six months old. It is so nice to be able to document this time in my life and, with Thomas around, I can scrap more than just belly pics.I created this LO for the Hump Day lift challenge on the Lauren Reid CT blog. There’s still plenty of time to enter for a chance to win a GC to Lauren’s store and such a great LO for inspiration this week.

I always struggle with ultrasound LOs but I think this one turned out nicely. Click on image for full credits and journaling.


This is one of my P365 pics. I am so glad I captured this moment because Thomas loves giving his baby brother hugs and kisses. I LOVE the color of this background paper from Tara’s new Love Muffin Kit. There are so many different colors of red and I struggle to find the right one, but this one is perfect! Look for loads more pages using this color. 🙂 And how many times have I used that alpha by Dani Mogstad now? I’m just saying….


So that’s about it for today. My P365 pic from yesterday is still in my camera so will have to wait. Oh, and tonight is date night. Thomas’ daycare extends hours every once in a while on a Friday night so we have until 10:30! I think we’re going to see Juno and have a full dinner at a nice restaurant without having to manage a toddler. Can’t wait!Back soon

Big News

I am going to be published! One of my LOs is going to be included in the June/July issue of Digital Scrapbooks Mag. I have been submitting for a while now so it’s wonderful to finally be able to see one of my pages in print.

Oh… and they pay! Excuse my ignorance but until one of my online buddies mentioned that they other day I really had o idea that there was money to be made. Not a lot, but anything I can earn to supplement my upcoming maternity leave is welcome. 🙂

Until next time

…and I’ve been scrapping

I have actually been feeling pretty creative. Not sure if it’s all the photos I have been taking or the fact that this baby has stopped sucking my mojo. Here are a couple with some Lauren Goodies and fonts from Darci Baldwin. Don’t think I ever mentioned that I am guesting on her CT this month. It’s so much fun being on a font CT and Darci’s fonts are fabulous.

Speaking of baby, I have been feeling him move around quite a bit lately. I have that feeling of butterflies in my stomach while I am relaxing watching TV or sitting at my desk at work. It’s a nice feeling and makes me feel a little more connected to this baby. It’s easy to forget I am pregnant with all the craziness of work and running after a toddler the rest of the time.
Don’t think I’ll ever get over the weirdness of having a live human being inside my body. Seriously – think about how strange that is.
Thanks for dropping by

P365 Day 14 – Jan 14th 2008

This pic is for my brother. We were instant messaging on google when I remembered I had to take my photo for the day. The calendar of Japanese prints was a gift from Ben and his girlfriend Emma for Christmas. I used Traci Murphy’s photo overlays to funk it up a little.

P365 Day 13 – Jan 13th 2008

Out and about on Sunday. Poor Thomas has not been outside a lot lately because the weather has just been too horrible. The rain stopped for a day in Portland and we decided to go for a quick walk. So our family trip consisted of lunch at Burgerville (LOVE Burgerville) and a walk around a seedy neighbourhood. This shot was taken in front of a weird mural on the wall of an events center – complete with weird tree/rock display thing. Jealous? 🙂

P365 Day 12 – Jan 12th 2008

Giving Peanut (i.e. Child yet to be named) a hug. Thomas already loves his baby brother and it is so sweet. He likes to give Peanut kisses and hugs and talks to him in a little baby voice.
