Scrapbooking

YAY I finally got a night to myself (hubby was again neglected) for some scrapbooking.

I did 5 pages but I'm not 100% happy with all of them, see what you think.

Bath time (not very happy with this - dunno why?)




I went through all my digital photo's to find ones of Adam and Andrew for a page for Adam's scrapbook (I'll also be doing one for Reece).




Adam - my little helper. Adam just loves to bake and when I seen this quickpage I just couldn't resist.





I was really amazed at how many photo's I had taken with the boys - NEXT TO NOTHING - seems I'm always the one with the camera. I love this page.




Last but not least, Reece's 6th birthday from a couple of weeks ago.




I have been seriously thinking about not weighing in tonight because I know it going to be nasty. I don't usually shy away from the ww scales even when I know I am going to have a gain but I really don't want the negative feeling that follows after a gain because I'm trying to be positive at the moment and get back on track - I'll decide tonight.

I did drink 3 litre's of water yesterday, had my cereal for breakie, vitaweats for lunch (I could live on these - yumm!) and a ww meal for dinner (I tried the Thai one 'panang chicken' and it was delish but quite hot), so a great eating and drinking day and I ended it with the bike and stepper before I started my scrapbooking.

Weigh in





Loss/Gain: Nope - stayed the same
Total loss: 23.3kgs
Current weight: 87.0kgs

A bit dissapointed with that but so be it.

In Paulene's Spring Challenge (6 weeks) I managed to lose 1.5kgs which is something eh?

So my day off was a total disaster, started off getting the kids off and out of the house late, then did my shopping and didn't finish that until 9.30am. After getting home with the shopping and putting the meat (only) away, off I went to meet a JP who needed to sign some papers for me which took forever. I then popped into Upper Hutt to post the said forms away and had parked next to Postie Plus (BIG mistake), was just about to walk in the door and heard a 'oy!' which was from the fabulous looking Helena who was also going in for a shop. Then popped in to the place where Reece is having his hip hop concert in December to get the tickets (I'm now totally broke, what is with that?) which cost me $70.00 for 1 adult ticket for each show (there are 4 in total) and 1 child's ticket for Adam so he can come with me on the last day.

After finally getting home at midday, I finished unpacking the groceries, put on a load of washing and took in the 2 loads that were on the line, tidied up the lounge and kitchen and then thought I'd better get onto the kids room.

Looked at the time and it was 1.30pm and I had to pick Adam up in an hour to take him to the dentist....argh!

Needless to say the boys room got a quick 'lick and a promise' rather than a 'clean out' but at least it was bareable to look at by the time I had finished with it.

Went and picked up Adam from daycare - dentist (he was a little angel) and then back up to Upper Hutt to get Reece his remote control car and a transformer for Dad to give him for his birthday *phey - wipes brow), ice cream for the little fella for being a good boy at the dentist (how ironic) and home to get dinner on.

Are you are tired reading that as I was doing it?

So I did get a few things done but not half of what I wanted, thinking I could do most of it in 1 day was mad (yes thank you chris - stop nodding your head now).
We (in Wellington NZ) have a long weekend coming up (Labour Day) so I am going to try and tackle the hallway (sanding and undercoating) in between taking Adam to swimming lessons, having Reece's mate and mother over and viewing our pixi photo's which we had taken the other week.....yeah right! Wishful thinking.

BUT what I did get done for myself last night was 4 scrapbook pages after the dishes were done, kids bathed and into bed, while neglected husband watched mindless TV.

Digital Scrapbooking

OMG your've done it now Kate, I'm addicted.

Following Kate's lead (private blogger) I have followed her instructions and started digitally scrapbooking and I am 100% addicted. I joined a site and got a free starter kit and have now created my first page. Its very basic but its a start, I have been sitting on this PC for over 2 hours while my poor husband sits in front of the TV on a Friday night by himself.......LOL

Here it is, what do you think?



Right best I go and talk to hubby before going to bed and then getting up early to start on my 2nd page.

Nite nite *yawn*
