ScrapJacked.


There is a new scrapbooking blog out that is a great idea for inspiration. It is called Aussie Scrapjacked - it focuses on an Aussie Scrapbooker every month and the idea is to get ideas and inspiration from that scrapbooker - create a LO based on her style and upload it to the blog. It is great for the times when the Mojo runs out or you have a scrapping block!!! Here is the link to the blog http://aussiescrapjack.blogspot.com/2007/04/erica-glover-you-have-been-scrapjacked.html
Well I decided to give it ago and see what I could come up with. The very first Aussie Scrapbooker to be scraped jacked is Erica Glover - she makes jacking her LOs so easy as she is a fantastic scrapper. I decided to not scrapjack the LO that the girls on the blog refered too, instead I found these two LOs of Ericas "One More Time" http://www.scrapboxx.com/forum/index.php?automodule=gallery&req=si&img=19602 and Line Lover http://www.scrapboxx.com/forum/index.php?automodule=gallery&req=si&img=12599 in the Scrapboxx website gallery http://scrapboxx.com/forum/index.php?act=module&module=gallery and have combined them to create the LO 1st Time Mum.
It is all about me at 7 months pregnant and what I think I will be like as a 1st time mum.
Wow only 2 months to go until this little bump is here. This is also my first real pregnancy LO and photo as until two weeks ago I wasn't showing - then all of a sudden over night POP!!! Out she came!.

Look at our new puppy



This is Chewy and he is 7 weeks old. He is a JRT( Jack Russell Terrier). We got him today from a breeder who works with my mom. When we brought him home we watched him to see what we were going to name him, well he started to chew on everything in his sight so we named him chewy. He is so tiny and cute that I have to hold him and spoil him.

My God daughters' Easter dresses are done

These dresses are called 'Angel Song' and they are from the Crochet Garden site. There are so many beautiful patterns on there it was hard for me to choose what dress pattern to use for their easter dresses. I also had alot of help from a very nice lady her name is Nadine and she is one of the testers for Crochet Garden.
This is a pic of the dresses with the petticoat underneth it. The petticoat is supposed to be longer then the dress but my goddaughters didn't want them that long so they are shorter then the dress.
The dresses turned out big on them Lucy is in the purple and Sierra is in the pink but they both said they like them that way so they can move around more. As you can see my god son whose name is Bernard(Bernie boy for short) wanted in on the pic as well.
Here they are spinning around they loved the way the dresses flared as they spun around. They spun around so much, they were making us dizzy. Once again there's my god son he loves to be in pictures. I used Caron Simply Soft for both dresses and a I hook for the purple dress and a K hook for the pink dress but my stitches were so loose they turned out big on them.

Doggy News


All is well with the three Mutts. Tiara has grown up in size fast - just wish her mentality would catch up - she has turned into a holy terror - she destroys everything that she can get her teeth into. We have had to puppy proof the house and the yard. It has made life interesting ..... well it is just getting us into practice for when the baby gets here. Here is one of the latest LO that I have done of the fur monsters all together. I don't take as many photo of them as I once did - I'll have to start taking more.
Nanook is nine this year - how time flies. It jsut seems like yesterday when I got him as a puppy.
Sharnii is her perfect refined self - she never does any wrong..... why couldn't Tiara take after her?

More Baby Stuff





Well we have picked out names for little miss bump - we even have boy names picked out too just in case! If she does come out a he - he will have a very pink room and lots of pink clothes to wear!!
Here are the latest scans. The first one is a front on facial scan - skeletal looking. I love the second one you can see alot of the features on her face - doesn't she look sweet. Looking at the scan it looks like she has a big black eye, the way she never sleeps that doesn't suprise me - some days I wish she would stop moving and get some rest.
