YUMMY fancy pants PAPERS

oh paper addiction has the best papers in store right now
YUMMY fancy pants collections with matching rubons and the most darling bottles of buttons from rusty pickle that i have ever seen so cute and in such pretty colours too
i have had the pleasure over the course of the day to use all these products in a sample for the store....the fabric flowers i got at paper arts on friday cause i liked the ribbons that came with it but thinking while purchasing when will i ever use these bright colours and look i used them before a week even passed woohoo!!! its a pretty busy layout but i like it...i want to return to my roots a bit in the coming months as i think i was in a better scrapbooking space saythis time last year even thou i wasnt scraping much if that makes sense.
if u look closely at the frame too i got to use kates napkin technique on the frame...i just used a plain white one as i havent gone napkin shopping yet lol...but added the flourish rubon ...i really enjoyed making my own transparency embellishment woohoo

emily will be 7 months old on saturday...i cant believe it
my darling girl is getting so big so quickly. She is sitting on her own for quite some time now, and crawling all over the house like a mad thing, we have only 3/4 baby proofed...but i swear lilly brings more of it back than i can get rid of in a day...all those little toys she seems to of gotten...but she is learning where to keep themslowly. We have put up the gates which r to keep emily out of lillys room and the other lounge (which starts its first transformation into a media room on the weekend WOOHOO)

emilys new thing for the week...u guessed it DADADADA...lets just say that the DADADA in this house was very encouraging of this lol...i keep telling him she doesnt know what she is saying lol...but she does im sure of it

nothing to much going on here...i got my car back...i dont know if anyone remembers but all the way back on boxing day i had a car accident...nothing serious except the damage to my car!!!!...well after waiting for the shops to open up again after the christmas break they found out a part they needed was in australia...so then we had to wait a month for that...nearly 10 weeks after the accident i got my car back!!..once they got it on the road smaller things kept going wrong with it so there were quite a few extra days without it this week...but finally its all systems go and is running like a dream and it is looking all shiny and new...WOOHOO nothing worse than not having a car believe me
