Just a quick post

Just a quick post this morning to wish my hubby a Happy Anniversary.

3 years of putting up with me LOL. Love you heaps hun *hugs*

Will be back later with all the interesting info from our first ante natal class 2nite. still thinking bout my response to today’s prompt from Shimelle.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Blogging for Scrapbookers

So we’ve only just started this class today but I’m loving it already. Shimelle’s classes are amazing.

*waves hello* to fellow classmates (& anyone else who is new to my blog). Welcome! Hope you enjoy reading my blog and I love to hear from my readers so feel free to say hi 🙂

Anywho onto today’s post.

What are my intentions for the next three weeks during this class (& hopefully beyond). Well I hope to post a bit more often and write more interesting blog posts. I also want to not feel guilty if I miss a day or two of blogging (but I’m trying not to do that during November – nablomopo and all lol). I want to share more of my photography and get more memories down so when I go to scrap them later I can actually remember what was going on and finally I want to create more and share more of my scrapbook pages

If you’re not taking part in Blogging for Scrapbookers and think it sounds like something you’d like to do, you can join us here.

Today I haven’t really done a whole lot. I’ve got an assignment finished for TAFE, only two more to go this year. Kinda watched the new Star Trek movie that hubby got today. It wasn’t bad. Was really a lazy day but that’s ok. It’s nice to have a day of doing very little as I know after February I probably won’t get many of them.

well that’s it for me today. Catch ya all 2morrow

Yup I’m gonna give it a go this year. I’ve said I will for the last few years and never have. This year I’m determined to get it done 🙂 Hopefully November is an interesting month lol and not lots of “I’ve updated one of my other blogs” LOL

Still haven’t managed ay scrapping *sigh* been too busy with bub stuff & playing around with blog templates. speaking of blog templates – this one is in for a change soon…… bored with this theme lol

hope everyone has a great day!

New blogging/scrapping class

I’ve decided to take part in another one of Shimelle’s classes (I started an art journal one a few years back – must get round to finishing that one day). Her latest is called Blogging for Scrapbookers and it starts on Nov 2.
It includes info on how to set up a blog and all the business that goes with that (templates, tracking visitors etc); 15 emailed prompts; a year of blogging workbook and much more. I’m hoping it will get me blogging & scrapping a bit more as I’ve been in a bit of a slump lately.
Anywho you can read more about the class here.

I’ve started a Word doc where I’ve started journaling prompts and journaling for my preggo journal. as I get the pages done I can just add the journaling as it’s nearly all done 🙂 I’ve also started planning pages for bub’s album – just ideas for pages, LOs I like, poems, titles etc. If you want to share a link to some of your fav bub pages, link me up in the comments – I love looking at baby & preggo pages atm.

Hopefully I’ll have some new pages to share tonight. Planning on doing some scrapping while the boys play D&D.

Lookie what I got….

I did a survey for Colorbok and got sent this amazing pack of goodies in the mail yesterday.

I’m looking forward to scrapping with this lot – not sure what I’ll put in the album yet.

in other news, we bought a second hand car – it’s a 2001 Commodore. Hubby has a head cold. I’ve got a nasty case of hay fever (can’t take anything for it either) that seems to have developed into a head cold today ( i hate having a cough – it hurts my throat, my chest & the bump is sore – bub seems oblivious to it all thou & is moving around quite happily). that’s bout it really. off for another scan on Thursday.

Before I go thought I’d share this cute pic hubby took yesterday – it’s Cola lying with her head on my bump. she loves padding on it and starts to purr when bub kicks or moves – I can see those two will be friends when bubby is born.

Okies heading to bed to see if I can sleep off this head cold.
