Mojo Monday. challenge

On the weekend I came across a website called Mojo Monday so I thought I would make a card from the sketch they had on there that finishes today. This is the sketch and the card I made last night.

2 post 2 days plus a card

 

Since christmas is over I then had to organize my three children as they all started new schools this year. My eldest started year 10 at senior secondary  college , my middle child started year 7 at middle  years college  and lastly my baby went of to prep. I have managed to fit in some time to do a bit of creating. I made this card for my mother-in-laws 60th birthday. I also made her a scrapbook album that had all her children and grandchildren in she absolutely loved it which made all the effort I put in worthwhile.

in my absence

I know its been way too long since I've blogged but heres whats been happening in my corner of the world.
Oh what a hectic month October was in our house. Three birthdays, MotoGP at Phillip Island and back to Melbourne at the end to see the specialist.Not to mention that our youngest daughter  has tonsillitis again and they're still not going to take them out. This her 9th time shes had tonsillitis  since the start of the year. so over it. November wasn't much better. Charlotte was so sick with tonsillitis they were going to admit her to hospital to have them out as an emergency surgery if her temperature didn't go down. it stayed at 39.9 for two and a half days. The doctor finally got us a date to have her operation quicker than what she otherwise would've had to wait to have it. After constantly  being on antibiotics since October ,December  finally came  and on the 6th she had her much long awaited operation to remove her adnoids and tonsils. This didn't go as planned.The hospital didn't have any panadol that she wasn't allergic to. Then the dr prescribed an antibiotic that she was allergic to so I went back to get another script for antibiotics only for him to give me a script for the same one he had given her in  hospital. As a result she ended up with a extremely bad infection and both ears infected. So it was back on antibiotics until new years .With one very sick little 4 year old girl I had to get things organized for my sister-in-law and her family that came and stayed with us for a week before Christmas . I also had my sons graduation from grade 6 and my oldest daughters graduation from middle years college where she finished year 9. I was glad when it was over getting the dress, shoes, hair and make-up done was a huge effort with work and visitors  and a sick child. With just 3 1/2 days to Christmas I still had all my shopping to do.

time for a Christmas card

There hasn't been a lot on crafting going on over the last few weeks as we've all been sick with chest infections and colds. My little one also had tonsillitis again, 8 times now since february so over it.
Any way

Over the last few days I've made these two Christmas cards. The tag type card i made was for the monthly challenge they have over at the scrapville website. The other one was something i just came up with quite happy with how they both turned out. I also have made these cards over the last month or so. One is for my sister-inlaws 40th birthday and the other was for my 16th wedding anniversary .

a card to share

Here's a card that i made for my nephews birthday last week he turned 15 how time flys by. I just have to work out how to turn the photo around before I post it on the blog. Hopefully I'll be able to share a couple of more cards in the coming weeks. Until then Happy Creating Rose.

Life is busy

Life at the moment has been busy lots of stuff going on. Our son had his nose operation last week then the in laws came for the weekend in amongst the usual work school and other routine that we have.I've also added to the mix these last couple of weeks doing our business tax which takes slot of time.
Despite this I've made a couple of cards one for the scrapville challenge and another for my nephews birthday I can't believe he's 15. That means it's only six weeks until my oldest turns 15 herself scary isn't it.I did take some photos to post but the don't seem to be working when I try to add them to this post so I'll have to get hubby to help me. Any way I'll try not to leave it so long between poet till next time Happy Creating Rose.

A quick update

Well I've had a pretty full on week this past week. Working, doing my tax, taking the kids here and there and even fitted in some time to make a couple of cards and a layout or to. I'm really getting into the whole scrapbooking thing something I thought I would never do. I get a lot of inspiration from the Internet with different layout designs that would suit the photos that I have. My other main passion is card making something that I have loved to do since I was a child. I don't even need to have a purpose to make a card I just make one because I want to. When there's a birthday coming up I'll make the card a month or so in advance same with any other event like when my brother and sister were expecting new babies in the same week I had made both boys and girls cards well before they were born. I think that most people really enjoy getting a handmade card as it personal to them. They know you thought of them you you were creating the card and that gives them a real joy knowing that you care about them. Soon I will be posting a few pictures of the cards that I have made. Until then Happy Creating Rose.
