scrap pea: August 2008

Just a little tootie ...

oooh I swear I am so happy ... this page just appeared in my head demanding almost instantaneous release ...

and look what happened ...

its the fifth one down ...

Anya turns 7!

Thats right 7 years ago I became a Mama for the first time... oh my how time has flown ...

And here is a photo I took just the other night of my sweet wee baby girl ...

And naturally you can't have one without the other, so here is my cheeky little monkey...

And here is my sweet baby girl just before she headed out to school, I got her look up while she was tucked down on the floor tying her shoes... did I also tell ya she is a clever little munchkin, as well as being down right gorgeous!

so the girlie is shooting upwards! and so needed a new bike, look at the treat she got today, custom painted, with all sorts of little extras just for her!

I have to tell ya when they handed out cake decorating skills in my family, most everyone else got them! Not me though!!!! okay so I can do other stuff but lordy cake decorating ain't one of them!!!!!!
Thankfully my girly won't mind the bits of cake crumb in the icing ... the thick and thin bits etc... and thank goodness Chris was home today, he free hand cut the cake for me into this shape... gotta love that man!

Okay so time is obviously getting away on me this year!

I really am at a loss as to where all the time is going though! And naturally I always have the best of intentions of getting back here and blogging a little more regular like ... but then something else comes up and before I know it the day goes and I still haven't blogged...

Uh we have been having some darn awful weather the last few days! Seriously had more than enough of all the dratted rain ... puddles in our lawn big enough to call duck swimming pools! And in places its never puddled before too!

Two weeks back into the third term, after a nice couple of weeks away in the north island, well me and the girls that is, Chris, having just started a new job couldn't get away... A week with Mum and Dad, and then a week travelling back down the island before heading home, and in fairly good weather too... though this past week has more than made up for the good weather we had during the holidays!

I do have more than a few pages to share with you though, and as you know normally I add credits to each page, but since I have so many to share I will add a link to my gallery at ScrapArtist and if you want to get more details on any of the pages go there to find it ...

First up - Mum
