I had a wonderful year full of new beginnings and challenges, but a wonderful year. A lot has happened in the last couple of days, I will have to talk about it and post here when the time is right, but for now, enjoy your holidays, family and friends. I wish you all the best and wanted to thank everyone for their love and support over the last few months.

See you next year :)

We had Matty's bday today. BUSY day! Got him a Mario Galaxy game for Wii early in the morning and sent him off to school where I hear he had a great day. In the meantime I am cleaning and cooking and preparing loot bags for his birthday party. We picked him up a little earlier than normal, got him ready for the party and when his friends started arriving he had a GREAT time, which made me happy :) Alex took the day off to help out and he was the best entertainer for the kids, coming up with games and activities for them. It was a very hot day so the moms stayed inside in the air conditioning but the kids didn't seen to mind the heat outside. Cant show you all the photos because of the other kids, but here are a couple I can show you:

mmm Ice cream cake was a big hit :) lucky I bought two, these things are tiny!

I think I forgot to mention my mom is here, that one behind Mateus on the second photo. It is great to have my mom with me, she is also staying for my birthday and Christmas. Only problem is that my grandma is in hospital, in intensive care, and this has stressed out everyone, specially since my mom takes care of her and feels terrible she is so far away. But God willing every thing will turn out ok.

Scrapbooking? What is that? I have no time lol But I hope to get back into the swing of things soon.

Leora is having an awesome 25 days of Christmas event in her blog and today we are giving away a 10 dollar certificate to my store, check it out here.

Little Dreamers has also started the 12 days of Christmas sale, with a whole section of the store on sale each day and freebies on the blog, today is Quickpages, so all my quick albums are 45% off!!

Tomorrow my little munchkin is turning 6 years old, we will have a party for his friends at my place, so I have to get everything ready, but will hopefully get back with photos soon!

We had a great weekend with lots of parties, I am astonished I am not tired, it was actually quite nice weekend. Now I have a crazy week ahead of me, I am glad things seen under control. Matty's birthday is almost ready to go, need to get all the little lollie bags ready and make some brigadeiro (little chocolate deserts, yum). My birthday is also all set, I will have a joint party with a close friend who also has her birthday this week. We are going to have a girls night out on Friday night, looking forward to that! It is also the last week of school, which in a way is such a relief for me, it has been a tough year for Matty and we didn't do so well, so I am looking forward to having proper holidays and start fresh next year. I have more to say, but not enough time :P lets just share this weeks free template based on Pencil Lines Sketch 165:

and I got my Kaisercraft sponsorship pack in the mail, great stuff to work with! I think it even got a little of my mojo back:

*sigh* he is so cute :) Have a great week everyone!

Hi all, all ok here, Matty is sick again but started taking antibiotics and is on the mend, after being sick last week it was no surprised he got an ear infection. I had a busy couple of days with Alex's birthday, cleaning the house, being at Matty's school trying to break the air guitar ensemble world record, and other normal mommy duties including having a nap with my sick boy yesterday afternoon. My night scrap time has also been taken by Fei, my night elf hunter at World of Warcraft, so I havent been making much. Mom is coming to Australia to spend our birthdays, Christmas and New Years with us, so it is possible I will have a "holiday" of sorts unless she encourages me to create more instead :)

Enough about me though, I wanted to show you the new Fancy Pants Release:

Aren't they gorgeous? You can see some pages using these two collections on the Fancy Pants blog, including this page by me using the Frosted collection by Michelle Coleman:

and here is a little close up:

Expect more pages with these collections in the future :)
