Latest Stuff

Hi again!

Got a couple of things to share about the kids and quite a bit of scrapping stuff at the end.

Basketball

Micayla attended a basketball clinic for a few weeks to see if she liked it. She loved it! I'd love for her to play basketball and I would love to be able to coach her team, but she has a choice to make. She can't do swimming and gymnastics. Something has to give and swimming lessons are not negotiable. She loves her gymnastics too much to give that up so she said she'll wait to swimming lessons are finished and then she'll take up basketball.

Here's a photo of her getting a goal. She managed to get 3 goals on this day.








Have a close look at Micayla's grumpy face. She was having a bit of an argument with the boy in front of her. She said he was being mean and she was telling him off.

Check out the Gear!!!

As said in previous posts we've joined the Frankston motorbike club. It's is a criteria of riding that they must wear the proper riding gear. Given that Micayla has a bigger bike we felt it was time anyway to get her safer riding gear. Bailey still has to get a jersey and boots. Don't they look so gorgeous in their gear. How tiny and cute does Bailey look.

PB Race Night

On Sunday night we took Micayla along to her first PB race night at Kings Swim Centre. She's in the higher levels at swimming now and can now participate in these race nights. I had no idea how much fun they'd be. Wasn't that fussed about going, but thought it would be a great help to strengthen Micayla's strokes and they're only once a month and some of her friends would be there. Being her first night she wasn't sure what to do, but she has the hang of it now and it's a great preperation for school swimming carnivals (can't wait to watch her in them). She has now recorded her times for 25 metre freestyle, backstroke and breaststroke. So her aim now is to beat her own time. After they've raced to record their times they have a fun relay race. Micayla's team won the relay. It was so exciting and fun to watch and lots of screaming from swimmers and parents. Can't wait for the next one. If any friends or family would like to come along and watch and cheer for Micayla, the next one is on 16th November at 4.30pm (it's a Sunday) She gets a ribbon for beating her pb and being her first one she was given her first ribbon on Sunday.

Now for some Scrapbooking

Paperific was held on the weekend at the showgrounds. I spent Saturday with Steph helping on the Alison Ellis Designs (AED) stand doing make and takes. They have some new papers out and these are the layouts below that I did for her to have on display on the stand. She has the new Christmas range out and also a sea scene and one for the boys, a space them. I have yet to do some layouts using these last 2 paper ranges but there is a card below using some of the space paper.

You can't see the full title but on the chipboard circle it says "There's magic in".... Believing.








This is a paper pinecone I made using AED papers, which was also displayed on the stand. I am also running a class on how to make this at Artypants during November. Check instore for dates and times and get yourself booked in. Think how great these hand made pinecones would look decorating your house this christmas.




I am also running classes on how to make these gorgeous gift boxes for Christmas. These classes are also being held in November. They look so gorgeous but you won't believe how fast and simple they are to put together.





This is the layout I did for the Artypants Monthly challenge. This one is still running. You have until the end of October to get this completed and get your layout into the store for judging. The pack is only $10. You can only put a layout together using just what's in the kit, you can however use your own paints, inks, stamps, pens. The winner will get the next months kit for free.



This months forum challenge is a sketch for a double layout. This is the sample layout I have finally put together. Better late than never. Guess I better go and put it up in the forum.



These are some birthday cards I've done recently. The first one was for my Mother. Her birthday was on Tuesday. Happy Birthday Mum!!!



This one hasn't been posted yet. So Rohan if you're on here before your birthday, GET OFF!!! Don't look any further till after Friday. So Happy Birthday for Friday Rohan. I won't say how old you are on here, just that you're 7 years older than me. LOL



This was a card I did back in September for Deegan using the AED Space papers.
