****Happy 8th Birthday Jasper****

Yesterday (Sunday) it was Jasper's 8th Birthday. He had a great day playing with his cousins and his new toys. (Toy Story 3 Lego, Rubik's Cube, Transformers, 3 DVD's, Game of Life Board Game, Dig for Dinosaur bones and science experiments toys) Chloe and I made a cake and decorated it (in a hurry as we were not really going to do a cake!!) it turned out quite well and Jappa thought it was cool, so that was all that mattered.
It was a big weekend as we had been to Kerang on Saturday and had been out to lunch then Ten Pin Bowling then home and to the theatre to see Despicable Me. He could not wait to get to school today so he could take the photos of all his presents and show them for show and tell!!

That's all for now,
Take care and Love to all

Craig and I had 3 nights away recently in the Yarra Valley,

We stayed at the beautiful Balgownie Estate Resort and Spa

It was nice to get away for a few days without the kids even though we missed then heaps it was nice just to have some us time and do some adult things like...

Enjoy a glass or two of the lovely wine.....

Enjoy some yummy adult food!!!

go out to dinner....

and enjoy a few hours in the snow...

The kids were very very upset they missed out on the snow but we promised to take then to the snow next year.

That's all I have time for now, gotta run

Love to all

I have been very slack of late and have missed the last few weeks of You Capture but this weeks theme was "In The Kitchen" so I thought it should be easy and I got my but into gear and took a few photos and this is my favourite...

I love flowers in my kitchen, they make everything feel fresh (even though these are a mix of dry and fresh!!)

Thats all for now, I have lots of photos to update but they will go in another post

Take care, love to all

This week at You Capture the theme was Your choice! We had to choose between the following three topics,

1. Green

2. Hands

3. Chairs

I choose chairs, this is my favourite chair, its so unusual and unique, it looks loved and unloved at the same time...

I have dreams of reupholstering it in a teal/turquoise baroque/damask fabric...like thisor this...


but I would clash terribly with the carpet in our new home so for the moment it will just have to stay is it is...


Next weeks theme is celebrate your nation and what it means to you...

till next time,
love to all

So on a cold and frosty morning, I went outside and got down low...and it was very cold but the light was great and the frost was just beautiful
These are 2 of my favourites.

PS. Just had to add this...its not low but its the same morning

This little chic turns 3 in 3 days!!!
Where does the time go???

As well as a little chic turning 3, we have a big chic turning 12!!!
These 2 have a very special bond...

I love them both lots and lots and hope their wishes all come true.

Our New Home...

We have been in our new home now for 10 days, almost everything is unpacked and it is now starting to feel like home.

The packing and unpacking all went well, thanks to my friends and family who helped with the cleaning and moving, it was so much more work than I thought it would be but it was so worth it...

Here are a few pictures I took this morning...

Chloe's room

Georgia and Velvet's Room

That's all for now,

Take care, love to all
