Quickly running out of space

Looks like it's time to invest in a new computer as all my digital kits and the layouts that are created are swallowing all my hard disk space and lets not talk about speed! Anyway I tried another very simple piece.

Little Man Bestie Party

I've noticed people no longer have best friends they have a "Bestie". Today we went to Big Little Man's bestie DM (middle) 4yo birthday party:

Making Waves

I have been meaning to do a layout with my boys and already had some photo chosen in my mind but could not find any kit's or paper that would suit the theme I was after, so I just made my own! It took longer then I anticipated but it's 100% original and that is what I think I like about this digital scrapbooking. you can take every day items and turn place them into piece where I don't think can be done on the stick and paste scraping.

I'm especially pleased of the fact that I made Big Little Man jump out of the photo!

Digi Scrapbooking

I have been sucked into this new type of hobby, not fully a convert but I wanted to see what sort of styles I can take from the craft to make my yearly Christmas card and this is what I created last night:

It's very addictive as you can add little embellishments, like ribbons, buttons, flowers...anything you can imagine I guess. I'm a little confused on how you take your 12x12 image and print it, do they even sell Scrap photo paper?

Tried a more simplistic style with the use of just a fancy paper and it really turned out nice, I love it. Shame no one else will, showed The Man and he just mad this "humf" sound.

So glad Fella took some nice photo's of us and will keep playing...love new things, but this is a hobby which makes you sit too long and stare at a screen to long and I already do that enough!
The boy's have been slightly dinosaur crazy, I don't know why as Big Little Man is not learning about it at school yet but regardless I have been forced to watch Jurassic Park (a bit scary for them), Walk with the Dinosaurs (very interesting) and Disney's Dinosaurs (cute) etc, making craft, going to the library to get as many book on them as we can carry and even cookies too so I thought it was time to take them to the museum to check out the real thing.

We headed to the Sydney Natural Museum and sadly this was the only Dinosaur on display as they are going to open a new exhibition next year so it looks like we will have to wait. There were not even any fossils or information about them, really disappointing.

Big Little Man found his favourite insects:

Our famous "Funnel Web Spider" #1 on the most venomous list I believe.

I think I like Little mans choice better.

I was a nice day out but a real shame there were not more Dinosaurs to see.

Watch out Martha Stewart!


It's not the Mile High Lemon Meringue Pie or even the 1.609 kilometre High Lemon Meringue Pie but I baked it and it sure tasted great! Why not give it a go, find the recipe at my new favourite blogger Exclusively Food
