"don't be afraid to be yourself - you are unique and special just the way you are"

hiydi-ho, well what a month of frantic activity!!!!!! I'm only just starting to get back into the groove of the back-to-school life - i suppose it's only been 4 days, but already it feels like forever!!!!!

We've been super busy here for the last little bit - the school holidays were just frantic with activity - it started with the kids and I going to Bathurst for a few days to visit the families, it was cold and windy, but the kids loved it. Home again for a few days and then it was Jessie's 10th birthday party, she had an amazing day, most of her cousins were visiting for the week, and she also had a few girlfriends over for a day at the "Treetops" adventure park where you get to do cool stuff up in trees in special harnesses and things - to say the kids loved it would be understatement!!!!!!! Here she is doing the cake bit:and then before we new it we were packing up and heading up to the lovely Hervey Bay for a week, spent a day on Fraser Island and once again the kids were super excited the first time in a plane, the first time on a super flash holiday - it was AWESOME - this is Lake Mackenzie on Frazer Island, just idyllic!!!!!
and I've also scrapped my first page in about 6 weeks!!!!! Just loved this months 123 challenge criteria so this is what I've created - using an out of focus photo, about 16 staples and some metal snap thingoes, and some of the new Crate Orbit papers, diecuts and rubons - just love how it turned out.
Have a great August everyone :)
