A Collection of Thoughts

Picture Overload

but you know what they say - a picture tells a thousand words...
The girls were heading to a 60th B'day this morning and wanted to make slice - but they wanted to do it all by  themselves - no help Mumma - So I gritted my teeth and perched up on the kitchen stools camera  in hand and gave the instructions - they made such a mess but holy doly did they make a great slice and they things they said were just priceless..so our morning in pictures and according to Tali and Sof - unedited as they are

Mumma when you call out the ingredients we have to say check- check means we have it - cross means we don't and then we have to find it - ok?

Tals that might be one of the things Mumma has to help with -it looks very tricky

Hang  I might try it -this is the yummy porridge sugar

I'll hold the cup and you put it in because thats the important part

Hey it's a double yolker- It's a special egg cause its Kenny's Birthday

If we both stir together that will make it double yummy

The more you press down the more the bumps go away

Mumma you aren't cross are you? We might be spilling it a bit.

I'm cleaning up God's earth he doesn't like litter it makes him sad

It would be good to put our fingers in cause it would taste nice but that would be ouchie

Mumma I'm just having  a rest and watching some TV and I might have to have the other beater too if Sof doesn't want it.

Oh it tastes just like an adult made it - Daddy is going to be so impressed with us - he might even give us a cuddle.

And for the record - I had to help with the brown sugar lid. To the best of my knowledge God wasn't sad about the messy kitchen.  Tali did get to lick both beaters. They both got cuddles from Richard who had to try two pieces and the party goers were very impressed!

The recipe is this one from Mel - and its really good! The recipe doubles well.

More Digi

While I would never  give up the paper - I love the texture and feel of products too much - and I spend wayyy too many hours in front of a screen. Anyhow I do love the instant ness and the very cool effects you can get with digi scrapping - Would help if I knew what I was doing but that's a minor point.

So from a photo from yesterdays picnic and a  beautiful quote found online and  a paper  from a freebie kit on 2 peas here is another digi creation.

This is Miss Talia again - Better do one of  Sofia soon.

Link to papers  can  be found here ...

A project

I was working on some gallery projects last night - Richard was watching footy - Talia was glued to a DVD - Miss Sofia - I'm bored I want to do something .. So I handed her my camera and said take some photos - She was off giggling and shooting everything in sight - 109 photos later - Lots blurry but I knew what they were - It's fun to see what she takes photos of - my favourite is of her on the toilet a photo of her feet dangling.

So this morning I downloaded Jen Caputo's free digi template from Creating Keepsakes and made a layout. I used papers and elements from Jessica Sprague though I'm not sure when I downloaded them ..eeek just found them in my digi file. Nice smile Sofia - I took a photo of her when she was finished.
