A Sale, News and a Freebie

It's been a while again on this blog, but I do keep you all up to date on my life on my project 365 blog, so I hope I am forgiven!
Anyway, I was quite busy these past weeks (my CT will be surprised to hear, as they haven't had the links yet, sorry ladies)
Anyhow let me start of the post with the News that I have put all of my stuff at both stores at

30% off

to celebrate Inter-National Scrapbooking Day!
So click here (BTST) or here (DAC) to go shopping!

So and whilst you are at DigitalArts Cafe you might want to pick this up - my freebie!
When I first got the colour swatch and name of the kit I was a bit stumped, but I really, really like what I made of it! It is part of the MEGA (and I mean really MEGA) freebie that all of the DAC designers have put together for you. Melo will be releasing them one at a time, but they will all be available for the whole month of May.

Click the image to go to the store to pick up the freebie (and maybe go shopping)
I have made anything with the word Mum on in my kit in various international versions, and for my blog readers, if you would like it with even another spelling, drop me a line and I will see what I can do for you!

Now if you go shopping at BTST (any designer) and spend more than $5.00 there this weekend, you get the May Mega Collab free, and this is what I put in it for you! Inspired by the BBC programme "Mr. Maker" which the kids love watching. On there are these shape characters, which I based my little guys here on!so with all these things I am giving away, I think it is probably time that I made a kit to sell, so it might be quiet here again, but I'll be busy working away!
No, tell a lie, I'll be back soon, with some layouts - Dinphy has a new kit out that I'll want to show you too!

Server update at Been there Scrapped That and some more layouts

Have you noticed Been There Scrapped that is down, sniff, apparently the Birthday Bash brought lots of extra people by and the provider decided that it needed to move BTST to a bigger server - good news really, only they did it without too much notice!
it should all be up and running very soon, but i thought I'd let everyone know here too, what was going on!

And I have a few more layouts to post! This is the last week of both progressive challenges that I have taken part in and in both the last part of the challenge was "title" and "journalling". Title that's OK, but journalling, always a challenge for me, but I think I did OK.

first up the Scrap-a-bration challenge from Been There Scrapped That "Can we dig it?"

Challenge layouts galore!!

I have been having great fun joining in all sorts of challenges! So in no particular order, here are the layouts for the challenges!

First up are two progressive challenges, one at Been There Scrapped That and one celebrating Scrap Orchard's birthday hosted at Scrap Orchard and Gotta Pixel. Both challenges are on their third week, so only one more to go!
This is the layout for the BTST Scrap-a-bration, I really like how this one is coming along - it has way more elements on it than I normally use, but its looking good!

Chirpy Chirpy Hop Hop - and a Birthday Celebration

Well, I promised a surprise on April 1st, and NO it is NOT an April Fool's joke! Been There Scrapped That is turning ONE and has some new designers on board, and

YESSSSSS
I AM ONE OF THEM!!!

Can you hear me shouting it from the roof top, I am that excited!
And not only that, I have two new kits hitting my stores - First of all, I got to do a collab with Liz (Sweet Digi Scraps) imagine that, when I started "stalking" poor Liz in December 2007, who would have thought that one day I would be making a kit with her. Certainly not me! I am still so in awe. And look how cute it turned out!


You can get it here at Been there Scrapped That and it is 35% off for a little while, so grab it while you can!

But that wasn't all that I have been busy with, I also made a great Easter kit. A bit different, cause I didn't use any pastels, I wanted a kit with cute things that you can use for boys as well as girls, and this is what I came up with! (available here at BTST and here at DigitalArts-Cafe)

I love it and I hope you do too. And I got a bit carried away, so it is packed full of all sorts of fun things, and I didn't stop there, I made a freebie for you too!

5 papers, 6 elements and 1 wordart!Download from Mediafire here

There is nowhere to comment at Mediafire and although I appreciate the numbers rising, it does make my day to get a comment or two! So leave some loving here, and I'll be back in a week and will pick a random winner to get another of my kits! How does that sound!? -- I hope it doesn't sound like I am fishing for compliments (although who doesn't love a compliment or two), I just feel like RAKing someone!

now do pop over to BTST and join in all the fun. We have some great challenges going on. I'll be back often to show you all the layouts I create for the challenge.

Bye 4 now

a layout

I needed to unwind and relax tonight, I actually had to WORK today at the office! And 7 hours of translating can be quite tiring, but it was better than sitting twiddling thumbs.
So tonight I did a layout!

When Colie's Corner and Garden Girl Designs released a kit called Hair today, gone tomorrow, I thought they had been reading my blog. So I just had to scrap Roberts haircut gone wrong.

CU tomorrow

I've been told...

twice this evening to stop neglecting this blog! Sorry everyone, I keep up to date with my pictures on the other blog, and don't want you to get bored, when you read the same thing twice. BUT I do have a layout to share with you here today.
Been there Scrapped That have their first ever "free with purchase" kit (when you spend over $10) before March 7th, so hurry!I got to play with it, I used the template that is included too!
it looked just like this today too, the sun was out and we had great fun outside for a change. The boys wore themselves out on their bikes and really didn't want to come in when it was teatime!

So still working on my kit, takes me a lot longer than some designers out there, but I am liking how it is coming along.
OK, time to get ready for bed I think, have to go to work tomorrow, make that the office, not sure if there will be work! I'll let you know
Bye 4 now

Missed..

my first day at work today! Yep, I spent most of the night going from my room to Robert's! Yesterday afternoon he had the snivels, well they got worse during the night, along with all sorts of other things he came up with to keep getting me back. the last time I got up was at 5.30am, when I gave in and brought him into bed with me. He was hot, so I lay there thinking, whether or not I could send him to Kindergarden. I then thought rationally, and realised had I not been going to work, then I would have not sent him to Kindergarden, so it was an easy decision really. I turned off the alarm clock and went back to sleep, well as much as one can, with a real live hot water bottle cuddling up!

Richard wasn't too happy about having to go to Kindergarden on his own, but he had no choice. Robert was very clingy all day, although his temperature didn't soar like it has been known too, it was just up a bit, but runny nose and coughing all day long and no appetite for real food - cake yes, food no!

I did find a little bit of time over lunch to do a layout! Bethany from Elegant Wordart Challenged her Blog readers. Well, I just couldn't resist. I had already sorted out my 6th picture from my 6th folder on my Project365 blog (check this post there), so I thought I would give everyone a good giggle. Ready for it?!

Now back to designing, working on a new kit...
CU tomorrow

I've been scrapping!

And I have been having great fun. Look what I got to play with from Karyn a fellow DigitalArts Cafe Designer (image linked to store)Its a fun kit, and these are my layouts with it. This first one is of my brother in concert last summer.

and this one was for the "book of me" challenge at DigiScrapObsession. It was great fun, and look at me journal, I'm having fun with that now I have started!

And I have also had another great kit to play with, this is Promise of Spring by Garden Girl Designs at Been there Scrapped That (image linked to store)I did two versions of this layout, and this one is for the Quote Challenge at DigiScrapObsession, I just thought this quote went great with Nanna and Pops wedding photo, they were married for nearly 60 years, nanna died days before their Diamond Wedding. So instead of the letter of congratulations from the Queen, we got a letter of condolence. Anyhow here is the layout


So today was work again, and guess what, I actually had something to do, not much, and I spread it out quite a bit, but I should have something to keep me a bit busy in the morning, not sure about the afternoon, we'll see.

and now, back to scrapping, I think I need to do some more, I'm having so much fun!

Work

I hope my work place is clear about what they are doing by employing me. I was there again all morning and I did 20minutes of work! Oops! Could it be the credit crunch affecting the translations needed?! Oh well, money for our holidays...tomorrow I am there all day, so wish me luck that I have more to do! Shame I can't take my scrapping supplies and work on that...

Speaking of scrapping its been a long time since I posted any of my layouts on here, I did one for the JumpStart challenge at Been There Scrapped That last night.

Tonight I worked on my mini kit for the DAC blog train. Its coming on nicely!

Washing machines, lego and a layout

Today was a bit of an off day really. Even more so, when I went to check on the water situation in the utility room and found I had no water there! AGH!
I had been delaying washing until the weather had warmed up, as it really is cold in our utility room. I was not expecting the water to be frozen today though. This afternoon upon closer inspection there was water all over the mat in front of the washing machine, another case of AGH! And each time a little voice going "what is it Mummy?!"
Well, Florian had a look this evening and woohoo, he got water to come out of the tap, he also found that the tap that leads to the washing machine seems to be the one that was leaking and not the washing machine itself. So wish me luck, maybe tomorrow the washing machine will work.
This afternoon the boys got a parcel of Lego, oh they were so excited (see the photo on my project blog). Robert set about building his dust cart all on his own, and he did it! I am (and he is) so pround of him! He didn't need any help at all. He just kept checking he was getting it all done in the right order! Here he is concentrating and working on the project


And here is one of Richard looking all proud of Mummy's work!

Oh nearly forgot, I got a layout done at lunchtime - scrapping therapy!

And now I am off to work on my next kit, its coming along nicely! So keep a look out!
Bye 4 now

A new hairdo!

Well, I did it, I actually let them cut more than just an inch off the bottom! I let the hairdresser layer it all! Uhoh! I hope I haven't now made it difficult to handle! Florian has seen a picture and has withdrew his threat of divorce, as although I had a lot off, it still doesn't look short, just more curly and less like "rats tails".

Hold on, I'll show you the layout I did at lunchtime! Credits:
Mischief Makers by Sweet Digi Scraps at BTST

The after photo could be better, but I did it myself with the self timer, I found it hard to smile for myself! the journalling reads "Florian threatened to divorce me if I cut my hair short, so I opted to keep the length, but layer it! I hope it is easy to keep. I'm not used to high maintenance hairstyles".

The boys reaction was funny, they new I were going, but when I picked them up, Robert said he didn't like it and went into a "huff", meaning he didn't talk to me, didn't put his coat or shoes on, just stood there with his arms crossed and his back to me. Richard liked it, until he saw Robert's reaction then didn't like it either! By bedtime though they both decided that i was still the same Mummy, just with a bit different hair! So funny!

this afternoon, we did a bit of sorting of toys in their room. Robert thought it was a great game, Richard was wiser and realised that Mummy was just after cheap helpers! And found a tight corner to play in whilst Robert and I sorted through the boxes and boxes of toys. I got rid of quite a bit of rubbish in those boxes - broken cars, baby food lids (we used to play with them when Robert was a baby, long, long ago!) the packaging from Kinder Eggs (chocolate eggs with surprises in them), and so on. We also sorted out the toys that are for babies so more to go to the charity shop, or on Ebay!

Oh, and if you think I am looking a bit tired on the photo, you are right, Richard had me up for a long while last night, he is still coughing badly and last night so much so, that he was sick, so at nearly 2am i was at the washing machine putting it on, and then he had to sleep in with me, cause I couldn't find another bottom sheet for his bed, and I never sleep well, with the boys in the bed with me. Hopefully tonight will not be a repeat! and on that note...
Bye 4 now

Father Christmas stopped by!

Despite everything - we had a nice time at my friends yesterday and were quite late back, as we stopped to have a meal with my parents and brother on the way home, and I never got around to updating the blog!
But today I have something fun to tell you all about. Last year we started a family tradition, that we have continued this year and expanding on it, so we can continue for years to come...
Last year Santa stopped by and picked up Robert's dummy, so that he knew that Robert was now a big boy and could have big boy presents. Last year it happened sometime at the beginning of November as Robert determined when he was giving his dummy up.
This year I have been working towards the 30th November. Santa stopped by and picked up Richard's dummies, and their juice bottles and their Xmas lists. They put it all on the doorstep and went upstairs to play. When they heard the doorbell (well Mummy calling really as it doesn't ring loud enough to hear it upstairs) they came down and peeped out of the window, but no one was there! When they opened the door they found an advent calendar and a Thomas the Tank Engine digger each! Richard was slightly disappointed that it wasn't the "puter" he had asked for on his list, but he cheered up, when we explained about the advent calendar counting us down for the BIG Santa visit!
They were really cute! Of course now with their juice bottles gone, they didn't drink much this afternoon. But I am sure they will get the hang of things soon. Now it will be interesting to see, how well Richard manages to fall asleep without his dummy. But he is sooooo tired today as we were late home last night, that I should think it won't be a problem!
So next year if we need them to give up any silly habits, we can do the same again, and if not, then this will be how we send the Xmas lists to Santa and get the advent calendars! Not bad,eh?!

So is everyone excited about tomorrow?! I know I am, but then again, a lot of you don't know what is going to happen tomorrow!! I think you'll be surprised!! I know I still am!!
And on that note, I am off downstairs to make us a pizza - yummy!
I'll be back later and post a layout of Robert peeping to see Santa!
and here it is, I did it also for the Mix My Scrapbook Challenge at Been there Scrapped That.
You had to use lots of papers, the word "Anticipation", a piece of tape and your own handwriting! Florian made me a font of my handwriting not so long ago, so that wasn't a problem, but I think I prefer other fonts to my scribble!

By the way, the Pizza was delicious (fresh mushrooms, leek, red peppers, olives and feta cheese!)

Got another layout done! This is the pair of them stood in front of the things for Santa! Looking so pleased with themselves. I did it for the Scrapper Say What Challenge at BTST. And addressed it to them!

Playground and some layouts!

Why is it that when the kids are at Kindergarden the weather is beautiful, clear blue skies and sunshine and not even that cold, and then when they have had their rest after lunch, the skies cloud over and it looks like rain - or it even starts raining?! That has been what it is like here all week. Today however we braved the weather and went out to the playground. Luckily it only looked like rain, and we didn't get wet, at least not from above!
Richard fell onto the grass, a few times and arrived home with very wet knees! But it didn't stop him from having a good time. They were on and off all the things there - roundabout, swings, slide and they even mastered the see-saw together!

I did a couple of layouts with one of Liz's new kits last night, she has been a very busy lady, you should see her new kits (click here to check the previews on her blog) anyhow I have been wanting to do something with the pictures of Mia dressed as a princess on her birthday and this, with a template I found online, were perfect for it.

An update and some layouts!

I am still in awe of all the wonderful comments I am getting on 4shared for my St. Martin's Kit, thanks so much! tomorrow is our big day, and the boys are so excited about it, so fingers crossed it won't rain tomorrow night! And then I can come back with some layouts using my own kit!

Today was another dreary and dark day. Although we did walk to Kindergarden this morning, at 8am this morning it was the brightest it was all day. The boys enjoyed the change and told me that they want to do it again tomorrow! We'll see!
This afternoon we spent playing dominoes, and more dominoes, and yet more dominoes. Broken up a bit by some cutting and some stickers. So not a very exciting day.

This evening was a bit more difficult getting Richard to go to sleep. I have decided that today is the day that we stop the "juice in bed" routine! Not good for their teeth for a start and no other kids that I know drink nearly a litre once IN bed. So I explained it all in the afternoon and repeated it often so that they got the message, and they really did. Cause when Richard called me back in, he actually asked for "water" and not "juice". However he did have me back in three times to tell me that he didn't like the "water". The last time however under tears he explained to me that he was allowed "juice" downstairs. Bless him. he did get it, and I haven't heard from him again - - yet!

I did get a layout done, and I have two that I haven't previously posted on my blog. So here they are.
Yesterday you got me in a Dirndl, well today I have Robert in his Lederhosen for you! you will have to enlarge it a bit (just click on the picture) to see them properly, as again, being the wedding photographer, I didn't concentrate so much on my own family!

Then I have this one that I did for the jumpstart challenge at Been there scrapped that. I used one of my favourite kits by Liz "Playdate" and my friend Leigh's GREAT wordart. And hihi, I managed to surprise her with the layout!

Muddy again!

Oops, I have a deadline to meet with the Sunshine Studion Mission 2 and I have been busy trying to get a lot done today, cause it has to be uploaded by Tuesday night! I am quite pleased with it so far, I just hope it gets finished in time. I don't think they will be extending the deadline this time!

We went to the boys favourite restaurant and playground this afternoon, and those who have been reading this for a while will remember that back in April (I think - found the post with the story - click here) Robert fell in the stream outside the door. Well, - yep, you've guessed it - he fell and got wet again! This time I didn't see it happen, and according to Richard "Robert fell in the mud!", well, he was certainly wet and muddy! Luckily for Robert, Richard is being potty trained, so I had a spare pair of trousers and pants in my bag, and could change him, otherwise we would have been on our way home again! This way he got to play a bit more (all be it in trousers that were much to short!) and then we went in to the restaurant for waffles and hot chocolate. Yummy! the friends we met there, then came back with us and they all played pretty nicely whilst we had a lovely chat!

I did get some layouts done last night and this morning, this first in honour of Digital Scrapbooking Day.

NSD is FUN FUN FUN

Guess what I got the day off today, it has been like being on holiday from being a full time Mum! Florian has let me spend the whole day devoted to my addiction and has looked after the boys all day. And they had as much fun as I did.
Florian took them kite flying this morning - and got some great pictures for me to scrap! Then after snoozy time this afternoon, they went in the garden and played football and then on their bikes!
And all that time I was playing at various places around the digi-scrapping world.

My first stops were Been There Scrapped That and DigitalArts Cafe. There are some fun games going on in both forums, plus all the sales there too.
I am busy sprinkling fairy dust in the gallery at Been There Scrapped That, so if you have been busy scrapping this weekend, why not pop on over to Been there Scrapped That and upload to the gallery.

Oh and I have been hunting for treasure - if you haven't yet you should try it out, a great way to find new stores and sites. The start is at pixelguild.com, and it is GREAT fun. I am still not even half way through, but I will keep on going tonight.
And if you don't want a big hunt, I am hosting a little one at DigitalArts Cafe, so stop over there, if you like!

OK, I am off back downstairs now, to make a pizza for me and Florian. Yummy!
Bye 4 now

Early yesterday, late today!

Well, Florian is home, so instead of blogging after I put the boys to bed, we were chatting!
But I have been busy tonight.
Liz has 4 kits hitting the store tomorrow, and I got to play with two of them tonight! And boy did I have fun!

the first kit is "Under the Covers" a very cosy sort of kit!
This first one is of me and Florian at my cousins wedding!

It was fun browsing through last years Xmas photos, i found this one, that I just had to scrap. Richard making acquaintance with Father Xmas.

Oh and Been There Scrapped That has a sale on too, so you can pick up these new kits at a great price! I can highly recommend them. In fact I am off to do another Xmas one now!

We had a good day today, the toy shop here is having a sale too, 20% off all toys and Mum and I went along and Mum now has all presents for her Grandchildren, and I got a couple too, won't post uncase they read this (don't think so, but you never know).
My Dad came up at lunchtime and the boys were thrilled when he picked them up at Kindergarden. They had made pumpkin masks so they spent most of the afternoon trying to make us scream! So cute. I will have some real Halloween pictures after all!

OK, thats all for today
Bye 4 now

It was the Bretzel's fault

not mine, that on our way home from a successful checkup at the doctors, I bumped the car in front of us.
But let me start at the beginning. It was an early start for Robert and me, as we had to go for his check-up. The doctor was very pleased with how things were looking and Robert was feeling fine too. He didn't even have a funny walk, which I was expecting.
On our way home, I got him a Brezel for being a good boy, and off we set on our short journey home. Mmmh..well, at one point he said "Look Mummy, I am using my Brezel as a steering wheel", so I turned and looked - BAD IDEA! As cute as it may have been, when I turned back seconds later to see the car in front had stopped to turn left, it was too late. I hit it! SH....!!!!

Luckily I was going really really slowly, as we had just turned a corner, so no one was hurt. We were all a bit shaken, and the cars look a bit bruised. But other than that we are all fine. Annoyed with myself for being so stupid - but admit it, we all do it! Seconds that is all it was!
Luckily we are fully covered, we just have to pay the first 300 Euros (which is quite hefty, but better than all of it) of our damage, anything done to my "victim" is paid for by the insurance.
Once home I got all of that business out of the way, just have to make an appointment to have the car repaired (paintwork only) next week or so.

From after that though the day went pretty well. Robert and I took my Mum to the station this morning then after a little bit at home we picked Richard and his clothes up at Kindergarden. He did plenty of wee-wees on the "little toilets" at Kindergarden, unfortunately he dirtied his nappy big time once, and once with a wee-wee. So it was a good job that I sent so many clothes in with him. This afternoon however he was FINE! Again not even a dribble! So we will NOT give up.
Maybe next week when Robert is back at Kindergarden, he will have more luck! Fingers crossed. And we'll see how we go this weekend.

Florian got back home nice and early, and is not going to sport tonight (blisters on his feet from new shoes, so he would rather keep his feet in his slippers today!), so I am off downstairs to enjoy his company.

I'll be back though to post yesterdays layouts.

This one is my desktop for November, and also for the "Pimp my desktop Challenge" at Been there Scrapped That. I love this challenge, cause I get a new background every month, and I love that!
