Halfway Through 2011

I've been inspired to get back into blogging by the kids & their classroom blogs, so here we go!

In May, Taiga started netball & her first game was against Shelly Park, and she had to mark Lexi - how adorable!!!

So far their team (Sunnyhills) haven't lost a game, which I think is pretty fantastic!! Ravey enjoys coming along to the games because he gets to have a corn dog or hot chips & next game Nanny & Poppy are coming to watch - YAY!

I've been doing a fair bit of reading lately & can recommend Nora Roberts for some pretty cool adventure/romance series - I started with Blood Brothers just before Christmas & got totally hooked - thank goodness for the library!!

I have also ventured into digital scrapbooking, so here's some samples:

This was made with the L'il Monsters free kit from everdaymomideas.com.

This one was made with another free kit, from shabbyprincess.com -I think it's called vintage floral. There was a beginners instructional video using this kit, so I just followed that to get the hang of digi scrapping....it's a very tidy hobby LOL.

Well, Wayno has the day off tomorrow & has promised to help me make some soap for a soap swap I'm in - it's an Alice in Wonderland theme & I'm planning to try my hand at a rose shampoo bar - I've been reading some Julie Garwood books, which are set in the 1100's& 1200's & she always says that the heroine smells of rose & well, we all know about Alice in the rose garden - so I'm feeling inspired!

I can't wait!
