Happy International Digital Scrapbook Day

Hope you’re all snapping up a bargain & grabbing some awesome freebies (don’t forget to leave some thanks for the awesome designers).

The weather here is gorgeous again and I’m really starting to enjoy it although I’m not sure I will if the bub belly gets too much bigger.

Speaking of bub, someone’s been very active over the last few days especially with the warmer weather.

Hope everyone’s having a great weekend.

P.S. I’ll be back with some freebies to share later.

Just an ordinary day

Not much happened today but it’s always these days where I seem to notice something interesting.

today I decided to paint my nails and I noticed how much my nails have grown.

I used to bite my nails (seriously I bit them for years) but stopped a couple of years back. I’ve never been able to grow them very long cause they always snap or break. hubby on the other hand can grow his nails really long and they are super strong.

anyways back to my nails and what I noticed today. I’ve grown my nails! and they are long and they are strong.

(oops forgot to add the pic yesterday)

hmm must be a pregnancy thing.

so yeah that was the most exciting thing that happened today.

A List for Thursday

Going to start sharing lists of my favourites every Thursday.

Today my list is my 5 favourite places on the net to hang out right now (in no particular order)

1. Roll 2 Create

Roll2Create

One of my favourite scrapping sites (I’m kinda biased though cause I’m the owner lol) We’re currently undergoing a few updates and changes and are looking to our New Beginnings in January 2010. Feel free to stop by & say g’day.

2. Bub Hub

bubhub2

This is my main haunt for all things pregnancy & baby related. The ladies here are super friendly and always ready to lend an ear, support or advice.

3. Shimelle.com

Shimelle

Seriously I *pink puffy heart* Shimelle. Her classes are amazing. I’d love to take the Journal your Christmas class but I think I’ll wait til next year Happy what a great way to journal bub’s first Christmas.

4. Organized Christmas

Organizedchristmas

This site will hopefully help me be less stressed over the Christmas period. I’m taking part in the Christmas Countdown. You can read more about it @ my Christmas blog.

and finally

5. Log Your Memory

logyourmemory

A great forum. I’m doing The Gift of the Year 2010 class at the moment there and I bought the 2010 Memory Log Book e-book. Another site that will hopefully help me journal more.

So that’s my first list. What’s your favourite site right now?

Yesterday

Got home last night and just crashed. I was sooo tired.

The appointment I had at 1 was cancelled because the guy was sick but they forgot to ring me & let me know so we ended up spending a couple of hours just wandering around town, ended up meeting up with my MIL (we had FIL with us) for tea before hubby & I went to the Ante-natal class (more bout that on bub’s blog). and then when we got home hubby wasn’t feeling well. so it was an interesting wedding anniversary LOL Gonna do something special for him 2morrow night if he feels a bit better – like cook a candle lit tea.

So in Shimelle’s class yesterday we discussed what we put on our blogs & scrap pages, and what we choose to share & what we choose to keep private.

There is lots I don’t blog about especially when it comes to family. I guess the same is true for my scrap pages. I’m not very good when it comes to journaling. I’m trying to add more hidden journaling to pages now so I can tell more of the story.

The prompt for yesterday was to choose a story I’d like to scrap about (not today but in the future) and share a little bit about it here with you all. The rest will be hidden journaling that I won’t be sharing. Things that are more personal and stuff I guess the world doesn’t need to know Tongue

So what picture do I want to scrap about????

I’m slowly working on bub’s album (the little wolflet) so I might share the story of the day this scan was taken. (All the journaling in bub’s album will be written to bub.)

001

“This is you on October 22nd and you behaved beautifully for the ultrasound technician.

The funniest thing happened during the scan. We were chatting away to the tech while she did the scan and she turned and said to me “did you feel that too?”. Yup, you kicked the bit she was scanning and we could see it.

Both your grandmothers were there for the scan too which was nice.”

I plan on adding some hidden journaling to the page sharing our hopes and dreams for our little one. Something they can read when they are older.

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

Nablopomo

nablo1109.120x90

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.

 007

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.

002

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