Im on SCHOOL HOLIDAYS

After a school term of hecticness... we can finally enjoy some holidays... Aidan and I now have 4 weeks off.. and I know that I am going to really enjoy every day...

Aidan has loved school and I am sure he isn't too sure what school holidays means just yet and that come Monday he will be ready to put on his school uniform and head off to school again.. but I know that Mummy will be happy to be staying home and resting. The past 4 months attending uni and doing my school prac and assignments as well as living day to day life has meant that life definetly has been busy.... But now I can rest, look forward to our friends arriving next week and finally do some SCRAPPING... YaY....

I have joined in a scrapbooking competition over a Mystical Scrapbooks, called Game ON and its inspired by Board Games... last week was Connect Four and this week it was Monopoly. The challenges have so far been good, and in both challenges I have used LOTs of PAINT... I am loving paint right now... There isn't too many Scrapping Shopsin Darwin and being busy like I have been has also meant that I haven't had a chance to go the few shops that there is... so NO Scrapping Shopping for me recently... sob sob... so I am low on resources so to overcome that I have been having Fun with Paint.. and so far I am loving it.

This is my layout for Challenge 1: Connect 4... had to use either blue or red (I used both), 4 photos, 4 connecting circlesMy layout for Challenge 2: MOnopoly.... I will upload this layout tomorrow... when the glue has dried!!!
This next layout is my first attempt at the Monopoly Challenge... but I forgot to put the word Go or Chance in the title... so I had to redo it as I liked this layout and didn't want to alter the title I already had, and risk ruining the layout.
This last layout is for Word.pictures... I kind of like it... I wasn't too sure how it was going to turn out... I used one of our Enchanted Scrapbooking packs from April for it...
That is pretty much all. We are now just looking forward to Thursday. Aidan and Joshie's best mates from Port Kennedy are getting here with their mummy and Daddy.. and we are so looking forward to it. We have a jam packed number of days planned... lets hope I can cope!!

And I have some exciting news... but that will be revealed later in the week...

Cherio.. I hope everyone has a good weekend and week ahead... I know I will ..... I am on school holidays... those words just sound wonderful... they haven't been in my vocabulary (well for me) for years... (I am not saying how many years!!! lets just say a few?) and I LOVE THEM... SCHOOL HOLIDAYS... SCHOOL HOLIDAYS ... SCHOOL HOLIDAYS...
