11.16am

is what time Molly woke up this morning....a little late for kindy perhaps! LOL Poor wee short person hasn't been 100% this week, infact she's been off kindy all week. She had some mild cold thing last week, and then come Sunday, she starts out with this nasty chesty number (cold #2 me thinks!) and pukes Sunday night, so we stay home Monday. Yesterday she motioned to me (cos we have no language) and pointed to her ear and said 'air' (she has some words, which is fantastic!)...I asked her if her ear was sore and she looked at me all puppy eyed like and said 'air' again, along with the whinging and crying, I guessed it was sore (hehe, not much gets by me huh!) so I phoned for an appointment (7.15 thank you very much - though we are lucky they do late night thursday, and it wasn't too bad for phoning at 5.45!). So yes, that ear that she pointed to was red and inflammed! Other one is fine, smart little cookie!! So more anti-bs, a humongous sleep and my girl is sitting here was Roly Poly Olly, eating toast, drinking heaps (with disguised contents of a capsule) and seems to be way better (PHEW!!)



Yesterday we had the most glorious day, it was sooooo hot, and today - wind, much cooler and it's trying it's hardest to rain - no wonder we get sick with such changes in the weather!!



Off on Sunday to scrap! I really am looking forward to this, this week has been a long one, so I am really looking forward to some "ME" time! I really enjoy the Sundays scrapping with friends, it's really not long enough though 10-4 just seems to poof away in the blink of an eye!

I certainly have enough to keep me going - I've been printing photos off at good old Harvey Norman - most impressed with the quality of the photos and the price - especially their half price enlargements on Wednesday!!



I just glanced over at the short person - she's just about demolished two pieces of marmite on toast, crusts and all!! and the drink is just about gone, one pill down - two to go!!

Layout was a challenge from Scrapbook Essentials, using your's or someone elses handwriting, so I cheated, and used T'Keyahs handwriting (only because I hate mine!) and scrapped one of her notes that she used to write to me all the time, I have a few that I've saved, and will eventually scrap them all - they are too cute not too!

Many thanks for all your congrats too, most appreciated!! I can't wait to start working with the team!

Woohoo!

I've just discovered that I made it onto the design team for Scrapbooking Annies!! I'm so excited!

Nothing really other to report - oooh, lies - My CJ returned the other day - it looks fabulous. I must take some pics of it and post them later on. It looks so neat! And some yummy recipes are in there too!

This layout is one I did the other day for Scrapbook Outlets challenge (I'm really enjoying the challenges lately!!) It's scarey how big my "baby" is looking! Think she just needs to slow on down now!

Four seasons in one day

Yup, Dunedin is really turning on the weather - some obscene temperature on Saturday, and Sunday morning started off okay, but then the temperature plummeted and it rained - yesterday was not much different and today it's overcast and cool again! I knew Craig shouldn't have jinxed it saying we'd not need to light the fire again! LOL.

Have finished my 2 Cj's (just sign in tag to finish) and then will post off - one group it's the final posting, books are being returned to their owners - really looking forward to getting mine back! The work in the ones I've seen is just gorgeous.

Molly keeps on surprising me - on Saturday she put the alphabet magnets in order from G-Z (A-F had already been done) without missing a beat, it was fast and all in perfect order! Craig's mum tells me she did the whole thing the other week...then on Sunday night, the whole family met for dinner, and Craig's nephew (nearly 8) was doing the alphabet on the fridge - well Molly heard him saying the letters (and he was struggling - he does have underlying issues and has been removed from his mothers home, and lives permanently with Dad) and came in and took over, granddad laughed and told Molly to get out, she was showing up J*****! I really think that Craig's (step)Dad has just realised that Molly is quite smart - even though she squeals and doesn't talk! LOL. Though I was super-proud of my girl! The lady that comes to teach us sign language reckons Molly will be able to read really soon- and she really is already, I suppose - she knows her name and picks out words from books. Now I just have to start thinking about a school for her (egads!!)

I'll pop a couple of layouts that I'd been doing for challenges up (just to make it look pretty - lol) I'm enjoying doing challenges, I'm getting to use up some photos that have been sitting here for ages patiently waiting their turn - the elmo layout shows Molly still in the cot, I'm thinking these photos are about 18 months old??The boots photos are about 6 months old, maybe more - so great to finally start clearing the backlog!! Hmmm notice a theme? Title in the right corner, strip journalling, grouped photos? Rut-roh!
