Woohoo! I was totally Spoilt on

Mother's Day!

These are the pressies I was showered

with for Mother's Day!

I received the Sizzix Fun Serif UPPERCASE Alphabet Set and also the Sizzix Fun Serif LOWERCASE Alphabet Set. I am also getting the numbers set as well next week. I have it on backorder just waiting for it's arrival, lol! I also got a Chocolate Mud Cake and also the Girls made me Handmade Cards each and DH brought the boys a shop made one for me as well.

Me with my Four Cherubs on Mother's Day. It's been along time since I got a photo of me with my Children, I usually don't like being in photos but I actually insisted on DH taking this one, lol! Well it was Mother's day and all so why not I thought? Both Teagan and Kiarra are holding a Tea cup and Saucer that they both decorated for me for Mother's day at their Girl Guides Camp they went to in April. Teagan (Far R) 9 years, Thomas (middle R) 2 years, Kooper (Middle L) 5 months and Kiarra (Far L) 7 Years. My four cherubs are always keeping me busy!

These are the Flowers

I got for Mother's day!

Card's I've made!

2006-05-18T09:52:00.001+10:00

These cards are Cards that I made for the Handmade Cardswap on Purplescraps that our lovely Vita hosted. I just got my swap cards back today and they are so gorgeous. I had to make 6 male and 6 female all Occasion Cards. I was very Challenged with the Male cards but I think they all looked good in the end. I hope the other swappers think so as well, lol! The only bad part about this all was that I didn't scan all 12 Cards that I made I only scanned these three female ones. Oh well, I might remember next time, I hope!

Mother's Day Layout

2006-05-18T09:52:00.000+10:00
