The final one I have in this issue is the LO I did using my home made fabric paper. It also contained snippets of an article I originally wrote for a Scrapbook Station newsletter about making your own fabric paper. Ive included the full article below for anyone who is interested.

Feeling better...at last
Saturday, May 26, 2007
Did anyone get the number of that truck?
The youngest two kids also have colds. I suspect Isaac is feeling abit like me, he is sleeping lots, which is probably the best thing for him. Nathan is just really snuffly, although he does seem a bit flat this morning.
I got some SUPER exciting news yesterday, but I have to keep you all hanging for a bit longer on that one LOL I will share really soon though! ( and NO Im not pregnant Janine :0 )
Ive done nothing but clean up this morning, now I just want to go curl up in bed! except I have to take Nath to footy in about 1/2 hour. At least its a home match and only 5 min away.
Enough of my meaningless ramblings for this morning. Have a good weekend everyone!

STOP...slow down...please
I know I say this every single month, but where is time going, it seems like every month you grow so much, you learn so many new things, its hard to keep up.
You are running everywhere these days. You wave madly, hug us, dance to music, climb onto the sofas all by yourself, and most of all LOVE being outside.
You understand everything we say to you, and are getting really good at following directions. I made you a special book with photos of you and the family. You love to read it all the time.
You want to play with what ever you see Caleb & Nathan with, you have little interest in your baby toys, you constantly have a matchbox car or motorbike in your hand. "Monkey see, Monkey do...and your the monkey" is what Caleb always says to you.
You love to help put away your toys, put cups in the cupboard, pieces of rubbish in the bin, and STILL are forever shutting doors! You imitate constantly. You take your little watering can and 'water' the plants. Its so cute to see you only go to the plants that Daddy usually waters with his watering can. You perch yourself up on the chair and point the remote control at the TV as you push the buttons, and you run the boys 'scanners' toys along the floor and cupboards just like they do as they scan the bar codes on things.
All four of your eye teeth have finally come through. You are still a fussy eater through. Bananas are your firm favourite, and you love your weetbix for breakfast. You whizz through three with warm milk every morning. You sometimes even have them for tea. If I ask if you want something to eat during the day, you head straight for the cupboard and pull out the weetbix packet. You are a funny little thing sometimes!
Tonight you layed in the big bed in your room and had a story with Nathan while you drank your bottle. I brushed your teeth, washed your face, and you trotted off to complete your bedtime routine... good night kisses & cuddles for everyone. As usual you grabbed Teddy and dummy, but instead of going over to your cot, you decided to climb onto the bed. I humored you and tucked you under the covers, whispered our usual "night night, sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite..love you Isaac" and sealed it with a kiss. I walked out and pulled the door across, fully expecting that gorgeous cheeky smile to pretty much follow me straight out the room. You stayed there. I checked about 15 min later and you were still wide awake, laying on the bed.
You eventually fell asleep.
Dwarfed by the size of the bed.
So cute.
So not my tiny little baby any more.
So begging for a photo or five!!!
I would leave you there all night except for two things.
1. The fire is on and I'm not comfortable with the thought you could stumble out near it if you wake.
2. I'm just not ready for that transition. Not yet. Its one of the last tangible links to you being a baby that remain and I just need time to slow down a bit while I catch up.
STOP...slow down...please don't grow up to fast my little man, Mummy's just not ready yet!
*****the next morning edit******I was heading of to bed just after midnight and flicked the bathroom light on to move Isaac into his cot. I decided to go to the toilet first quickly. I could hear what I thought was Caleb rustling around in his bed. As I came around the corner, there was Isaac riding his little bike out his bedroom door! SO cute!!!!! So not staying in the big bed!!!! LOL

Winter is coming
We have a busy weekend. Kids football tomorrow, then out for dinner with my best friend at one of our favourite swishy restaurants. Sunday is my neices first birthday party.
I had a peek in the latest CK at the newsagents yesterday and I have this LO in there. I still love this photo of Isaac!
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

Isaacs 'special' book

Time to share
The last is the LO that I did on Saturday night at Scrapbook Station. We had a great night. It was fantastic to get together with all the 'local' girls, and meet acouple of new freinds as well. I was so inspired with all that talent..Kates divine mini albums, Janines stunning art journal, beautiful LOs everywhere, an array of gorgeous paper napkins...oh yeh and of course Kates bits ;)
I also got these little post it note covers done for the mothers day stall at school. I will wrap them with one of the cute litle spoon magnets that you can see on the second pic.
I came home inspired and ready to scrap. Ive completed two more LOs since then! Im going to keep them under wraps though. If I can manage to get together five decent LOs I might put a portfolio into the FK awards for excellence. If I get enough I will enter, otherwise...oh well!
Today i finally got around to something that has been on my to do list for ages. I wanted to make Isaac a special little board book.
GRRRRRR blogger is being VERY, VERY, VERY painful today. It ate part of my post yesterday and again today, wont save or upload... Third time lucky...fingers crossed
