1st of December

Seriously this year has just gone so fast! I can hardly take it in that it's December already. So here's what's been happening around here the last 10 days or so.

.

Aunty R ... you asked about Maddison's outfit - it's a little dress and I have no idea where it came from as it's a hand-me-down :-) (I did a clothes swap for little girls clothes and got some bigger girl clothes back which was awesome and this dress was among them. It's her favourite!)

Aaron has had his eyes tested ... all in perfect working order!

Samuel has been watching Bob the Builder on my laptop with some SERIOUS concentration going on! Look at his hands heheee :-) He does make me laugh with his funny little manners and ways. (Excuse the fact he has no pants on! This was his third change of clothes for the day and I couldn't be bothered with pants anymore!)

Aaron's teacher is having a birthday next week and the kids have all been asked to make a birthday card for her to go in with the gift. She loves lions and calls her class the "lovable lions"! So I dug in my stamp collection and found this little beauty. Sorry it's sideways.
The last week Aaron has been asking me to do his hair spiky. But it doesn't stay like that, so tonight I surprised him with some hair gel! He thinks he's the cats meow now!!
And of course Maddison wanted her hair special as well! (didn't matter that they were heading straight to bed hehee). So I asked her if she wanted a french roll like mine. "That would be great thank you Mummy"!! :-)
As you know from my previous post I am going to do (and determined to complete) a December Daily album this year. So these next two pictures are for the 1st of December. :-) One chocolate advent calender doesn't work in this household! They have to have one each (good job the chocs are small is all I can say hehee) They didn't know about them and were pretty excited with the pictures I had chosen for them. (I am sorry I couldn't find a "Ba" one for Samuel though (Bob the Builder!) :-) He's very into Bob right now.)
Yum Yum!
When I went into the kitchen after story time with the kids I found some little feet poking out of my kitchen cupboard! hehehee
He loves parking his backside inside a cupboard and trying to shut the door! :-)
Right-ho I need to go and sort out a pile of laundry. Thanks for visiting. :-)

It's been a while ...

Since I have done anything scrapbook related, let alone blog about it! Anyway I have been thinking the last couple of weeks that I would really like to do a December Daily album again, especially since we will be moving early December. So I decided to make it super simple and purchased this 8x8 pad of Christmas papers from Graphic 45. I liked this collection because there was no "snow" themed pages. :-)

I am telling you it really was very simple and probably took me half an hour (once I had unearthed the tools I needed from my semi packed craft area)! I trimmed the pages, glued 4 of them onto the front and back covers, punched the holes, threaded the rings and stuck the stickers on the front and it's done! Haha ... now hopefully this year I can actually finish the jolly thing!

Here's the cover.

And the back.
I didn't have enough papers for 26 days (that's what I am doing to fit in with Grandma's visit) and I was looking through my stash of Christmas papers, but nothing really seemed to match colour wise, so I decided I would just use other G45 papers from a different collection. So that's what I did. These papers will be used on days where I know there is nothing Christmasy happening at all :-)
I think this one will be our "moving day" page :-)

Looking forward to starting (and finishing!) this.

Anyone else doing a December Daily album this year?
