Boys time...

A very simple and quick layout I did last night and pre-post for today....

Rare moment ....of Daddy and Matin.... Boys time!!!...I love it...when Matin wants to follow his Daddy instead of tagging along with ME.... I can do my shopping peacefully.... AND it's A BLISS!!!....

Matin always chooses me only because I'm the softy momma... I can't bring myself to say NO to him...especially when he pleads like a puppy!!!....LOL...

Here is my take for Sketchy Thursdays 11.25

Papers: OA, Crate Paper & Studio Calico
Others: Sassfras Alpha and scallop journal Stickers, Bakers twine, Tim Holtz Shabby Shutters Distressed Ink and MME measuring tape border

Family Tradition

Today.... nothing is about me...it's all about HIM.... Yes...you heard me right....He's the MAN.... He insisted that I'd post these 3 layouts he did over the weekends...on my blog...before he was saying to me "Mommy...I want MY OWN Blog".... Com'on....I said well show me you can behave for the next 2 weeks... and I'll consider your case!!!...

Matin is only 6...YES 6... what can I do...?? No...Nothing ...time as change eh....

NO HELP at all... he helps himself...yup all my scrappy goodies... Mommy has a big heart...and big pocket hole too...LOL.... Let's not go there...not now....LOL...

Honestly...I am indeed proud of him!!!...He has lotsa momma good traits eh(LOL)....Another thing he amazes me.. is he reads like a GRADE 2 or more that was what his teacher told US... even he can spells words...just by pronouncing it.... Well done SON... I'm so glad...I'm blessed... but wait.... his other side...stubborn..cheeky...demanding... the list can go on.... oh well hes my boy!!!

Nothing fantastic or over the top...but still am so proud of him.... :)

I want to thank my bestie blog mate.... Yvonne...for giving me with this award... Thanks mate!!! Appreciate... xoxo

I'm supposed to list 3 things that make me different.

1. I have an attention span of a flea!!!

2. Every morning before I even start checking my email....I go straight to my blog!!!(I need a life!)

3. I see the mirror and find the slightest flaws and WHINGE!!!(I can't be serious????)

It's gloomy thunderstorm Rain Saturday for US here... Usually I'd be up for some shopping at Chadstone... but today I just can't...Then I said to myself why not I do some scrapping..but the crux is ... I don't have the mood ... mojo just decided to repel...hmmm... !!!..Maybe movies???... Mr hubby is out keeping FIT!!!..Leaving me with my little MAN....

Little something about ME... one of my many best flaws INDECISIVE...yeah... I know... even Mr hubby can't take it at times... mostly ALL time... LOL...poor MAN... One good example I can give is... I'll buy clothes...spontaneously... got home then decided I don't even like it!!!...YES...I did this most times!!!...You must HATE me too???... even my best GF can't take me..... arrggg... I MUST CHANGE!!!

TAAFOMFT ~ GO PIES!!!

Hello gorgeous Ladies........ it's Friday already in downunder....

Matin loves sports... he seems to like anything with BALL... of  course typical victorian kid... "I ask him... So now who do you barrack for??? ...He jumps and says... of course COLLINGWOOD!!!....and sing-along....Go Pies!!!... Footy is the Aussies Rules of Football!!! ...

Whatever you do, don't say 'root' when you talk about your support of a sports team here in Australia. It doesn't mean the same thing here that it does in America. It's kinda rude if you catch what I mean....

Papers: Sassafras Monstrosity and Kaisercraft Up Up and Away Collection
Others: AC Yellow Glitter Thickers, Footy Magpie AFL card, Adornit alpha stickers and cosmo cricket adhesives chipboards
