Yep... It happened.

So after about 6 months of not blogging a lot has happened... Including a big driving adventure across Australia and an interstate move to Brisbane! Since we've been here the girls have loved being amongst all of their cousins and aunties and uncles... And there is certainly NO shortage when it comes to that here!

... Here are some shots I took during our journey across Australia...

the boys, the boys!

mick's sister danni has two gorgeous little boys, brigham and cooper - who we still havent met!... i don't really have any photos of them but managed to scrape up a couple for their pages... but once i get better ones i will no doubt replace them... but until then here they are along with mick's sister katherine's cute little boy called iverson... despite my dislike for 'red' i think his page actually looks pretty cute! Yay!

scrap scrap SCRAP!

so i'm still scrapping away on the computer... slowly chipping away at the gigantic task which is the family scrapbook! there has arisen a slight problem though {apart from trying to get photos of EVERYONE... seriously, it's a battle! i have quite a few more pages done but they are without photos... the search continues} ... as i move on to the next page and then the next one... i am starting to learn new techniques and find new 'products'... and unfortunately my earlier pages have become less appealing to me... i am so tempted to amend them... but i guess such is the pattern of development in any form of art... so, at the present time i am resisting the temptation and soldiering on with the remainder of the pages that need to be at least started!


after much anxiety i have completed mick's page... which i am actually really happy with... i think because i love him so much i wanted his page to really be something that i was proud of... and something that he would be impressed with also... so without further adieu here is mick's page... he really is a stunning man!

Beautiful Yolanda

yolanda {yol} is my brother jaise's girlfriend... she really has become part of the family... therefore she gets a page in my family scrapbook!

Nina + Taylen = two more down!

these little cutie pies are the girls' cousins...

... confusing... i know!

Laaken!

i've discovered that i actually really enjoy doing 'boy' pages... here is one of my nephew Laaken...

Reach for the stars!!!

i often wonder what my girls will become in the near and far future... they are constantly changing and growing {much to their wardrobes despair} and making me laugh!

whilst chatting to them the other day the topic of work came up... so i asked them...

"what sort of work do you want to do when you grow up?"

Lingy replied quickly...

"i want to be a fashion model and a makeup artist!"

... clearly i have made my mark in her life, nice...

to which Jordy replied...

"i want to work at Maccas!"

reach for the stars girls! reach for the stars...
