Blogtoberfest

Well, I am hoping this will help get my mojo back. I will post everyday of October.
I am having a giveaway..... of something..... I don't know what yet! lol
But it may be something handmade, it will almost certainly involve chocolate. To win, simply comment on a post sometime during the month. I will draw the winner on the 31st October.
Looking forward to get back into the blogging community!

February?

Gee that flew by. I am hoping to have more time to check in now that hubby is working, Hunter is at school and Levi is at kinder. Imagine how much time I will have when I find daycare for Raife and Pepper. For now, I will slip in when I can. I hope to be able to comment a bit more, I feel like I sneak in and out of blogs more than I'd like. Anyway, any interest in some Christmas crafting?

Wrapping paper painting

I've been making some fabric bags the past few years and decided to sew the kid's name tags as well. It was fun!


And some gorgeous yarn dyed by my lovely friend. Her shop is shut at the moment but hopefully will be open again soon. Ladybug loops
I already used the bottom right one for a friend's baby girl.

and so this is Christmas

Merry Christmas to you and yours from me and mine!

Around the corner

So, Christmas is just around the corner. I am getting ready, revelling in the warmer weather and preparing for what is for us, the very busy season. I've just started school, Hunter is going to school next year and Levi is off to kinder so we've been doing lots of transition sessions. Then we have Christmas and then it's birthday week. Then the juggling starts for reals!

Anything I can do to make this busy time easier is a plus in my opinion. So, when I read about an awesome promotion just for bloggers to get 50 Christmas Cards for free I stuck my hand up!
I normally buy plain white cards and print my photos and glue them on and decorate them somehow (LOL) So this is right up my alley this year, pick the card, choose print, then they are delivered to my door! Love it!
Here is the Shutterfly website

And there are some beauties to choose from, these are some of my faves in the card section:

They also have other products, like personalised ornaments (so sweet!)

And invitations

They are all classy designs with some very classic and some modern designs. Lovely!

Pepper's professional pictures

I recently went on a little holiday to Sydney with my gorgeous mother's group and had the luck to book a session with the talented Alinta from Capturing Life's Colour. She is one of the fabulous photographers we had for the wedding.

I got my cd back today and just have to add some pictures of my littlest baby and me.

I am trying to convince her to come to Melbourne next year when Pepper is a bit bigger to do family shots. Anyone else want a session?? :)
