feeling a little clucky...

and coming across old layouts like this one doesn't exactly help the feeling! How cute is this???!!

using up some scraps....

and scrapping some old photos:

A couple new layouts...

Gem in another cute op shop find...

Gem and I went to the Op Shop to find some old camping clothes for the kids and Gem found this red hat and denim dress. She looks SO cute. She had all the ladies and customers in the Op Shop laughing again with her running commentary on colours of clothes, pretty high heel shoes and things that are 'perfect'!

Gem's got the dolly bug...

It seems to have happened since our good friends had their 3rd baby not long ago. She's a busy little Mum- packing, organising, changing nappies and clothes and going all sorts of places. But this cracked me up when I saw this. I did eventually persuade her to use a pram...Jxx

Princess Tinkerbell Cinderella Fairy...

...is what Gem wants to be when she grows up! After we had dropped Jack at school yesterday, she came home and started adorning everything she could find related to this once again. She said to me, "Jack's eyes will pop out when he comes home from school and sees me wearing al these 'bootiful' things! I think he will fall on the ground!"

 But she got very grumpy when I asked her to say 'Bibbidy, Bobbidy, Boo!' and do some magic.

'I only do pretend magic, Mum - it's not real.'

Then she proceeded to lock me out the house while I was looking for my lens cap, the cheeky devil!

But how could you not forgive her when she looks like this:

i really do love this girl...

I started this layout a couple weeks ago and finally got around to finishing last night.

Gem I went to the Op Shop and found this dress for $2! She wears it most days....
