And again!

I love the "Happy Place" at DigiShopTalk.com. A) I get to see what great kits are out there, B) you can usually enter a random draw to win one of them, and today I was lucky AGAIN.
Here is what I won (click on image to go to Fergs Store)

Should get some nice layouts with nieces with that!

Today was another early start. I love the birds singing when they wake up, I just wish they wouldn't sing in front of Robert's window, cause he has started getting up with them! And then as he doesn't have a nap anymore, he gets grumpy and worse whiny towards the end of the day.

The morning was OK, I got quite some tidying up and cleaning done. Lunchtime was no fun. Robert decided that he didn't want to eat, and sat there growling at me all lunchtime. He only started to eat when I threatened him with no TV after Richard's nap! that worked! Once he started he actually enjoyed it!

After Richard's nap, it was the boys turn to tidy up! Well, that was my idea, they unfortunately only agreed for about 10 minutes then they got bored with the game. Until it was time to take down the tents, then they were all for helping me, which I could have done without. Now we have one completely broken pole, where the elastic has come right out! Oh well, they were a bit broken before taking them down, now the igloo one is finished!
We finished the tidying about 15 minutes before Florian came home, so that was OK (oh, nearly forgot the boys did do all the hoovering for me!)

I got a layout done, whilst Richard was having his snooze. I'll post it later on. It's my new improved version of a card I always send when someone has a baby. Only now I have discovered Digiscrapping, so it has undergone major changes! Before it was just the b/w picture of Richard's feet on the outside of the card, and the story on the inside. Now it is all pretty too. It makes all new Mum's cry, and me too sometimes! You were warned!

here is the journalling, so that you can read it:

Once upon a time a child was waiting to be born.

The child asked God:
"How will I be able to live on earth, I am so small and helpless? How will I be able to sing and laugh and be happy? How will I understand the people, if I don’t know their language? What do I do, if I want to talk to you God? And who will protect me?“

And God answered the Baby...
"I have chosen an angel for you, who will guard you until you are an adult.
Your angel will sing and laugh for you. You will feel the love of your angel and be very happy.
Your angel will say the nicest and sweetest words, you will ever hear, and calmly with patience your angel will teach you to speak.
Your angel will bring your hands together and teach you to pray. Your angel will defend you, even if it means risking his own life."

At this moment voices from earth where calling the baby’s name and it said:
"Oh God, I have to leave you now. Before I go, please tell me my angel’s name."

And God said: "Her name is not important. Just call her `Mummy`.


OK, off to play with my two RAKs
Bye 4 now

Okay, I see you might post twice on the same post sometimes.
Hm, I'll have to remember that, as I almost missed the LO's on the last one! ;)

And it's such a lovely, beautiful card! Everything is just perfect. The kit, the font, that PRECIOUS photo, and ofcourse the journalling, such a beautiful story.

But what will you do if a boy is born? ;)
