..a change of plans...

19 April 2007

..well after thinking Id be at home for the next 12 days....Im not!



The kids have been keen to go 'home' (where we used to live...5 years ago) ......about three hours from here ...they want to visit Granny and Grumps...and all their cousins, Uncles and Aunts....and I must say Im looking forward to seeing everyone too...its been awhile.

...that along with the fact that these two kids never stop annoying each other.... they argue...they cuddle and hug and annoy each other..... so the thought of getting out of the house is very appealing.... we are in the packing process this morning...and then we are off.

(oh...I cant forget to mention another thing they did last night!! ...they actually practised CPR on each other.....I nearly had a fit!! ...in fact... I was so freaked out by the potential consequences that I worried Briony and she couldnt sleep...and I needed to reassure her later...ooops.
Im sure they werent pressing hard enough for any real damage....but the thought of a rib snapping made me shudder.)



I called over to RSS yesterday and dropped off some layouts and cards I had created from a pack that Cheryl had given me.... the theme was to tie in with Mothers Day coming up...so as you can see....there is lots of Mum shots...





and this one for Cheryl...just for fun... not using the kit.

The Memory Bugs newsletter was in my inbox this morning and this is my contribution for the month..... funnily enough its Mum again!...this time as a child with my Grandmother. I love these old photos ...

..... well the kids are giving me the hurry up...they are packed and Im not...so I guess I should say farewell for 4 or 5 days....

Mwahhhh Mardi xx

  2. Wow what a plethora of layouts! I especially love the Baking one. I love your style so much. The handmade look of it, the colours, the themes you choose. All your layouts are treasures. I loved what you did with the Memory Bugs kit. It's so totally different to my layout!
    Have a fantastic time away Mardi!
