"It's the choices you make in life that make the difference"

and another month down and another month down, another month bites the dust ........ but it's been a great month - it's my birthday month (and it feels like I've been celebrating for the whole month too!!!!!!!) Back a few weekend ago I had a HUGE, bonfire bash here at our house - lots of friends and family came to help me celebrate and I had an awesome night.

Here I am with the amazing turkish delight chocolate mud cake that my wonderful SIL made for me - it truely was a work of art and was delighfully sinful to eat - LOL!!!!!!

and then last night I had my fabulous IL's here for tea - a few too many wines, lots of laughs, and seafood for dinner - another perfect night. My sensational DH bought me this gorgeous ceylon sapphire ring (to replace the engagement ring I lost a long time ago now) and a matching bangle ........ isn't he just the sweetest!!!!!!!! It was a massive surprise as my DH doesn't do shopping and certainly not impractical, trivial shopping like this so I was just not expecting it - LOVE HIM TO BITS.

and my lovely kiddies all helped their Dad to purchase a Wii Fit for me - yippeeee yay, I've been having so much fun on it - that's if I can ever the kids to let me have a go :) So I've been super spoilt this year, but you only turn 40 once so we've made the most of it :).

and I've also been scrapping this one is of the kids dressed up as their Book Week characters, used some of the new Imaginisce Perfectly Posh papers, Twiddlebitz & Scrap FX chipboard, Tim Holtz journalling ticket, Kaiser pearls and glimmermist.

and for this one I had a play with the new Cosmo Cricket Earth Love papers - just love this range :) and added a Maya Rd journalling spot and owl stamp and some funky My Little Shoebox acetate shapes - too cute.

Thanks for stopping by and until next time - cheerio :)
