Flipping the Top

ooops ...forgot to blog the last week or so lol...but here we are with.....

Birthday boy piccies!!! Yes Mr Bum-bum...blonde boy bombshell extraordinaire... is TWO!

Paaaarrppppp!!

Heh, heh, I think I love party blowers as much as the kids do!

He had a cool day, loves his pressies...thanks Gran and Pop, Nana and Grandad and Aunty C and Uncle Mafoo! Tool kits, dump trucks, trucks and trailer, big machines dvds, remote control car...harmonica and books...man he was happy as!! And the big bro's are enjoying sharing the love too lol!


This cake was a light bulb moment a couple of days before his birthday as Patrick (my right hand man birthday organiser) and I were racking our brains trying to think of a cool (Patrick) but easy (Mum) cake to make him....he loved it and he also loved us singing happy birthday...the next day I heard him singing a little tune under his breath and then puffing out his breath and wondered what he was doing until I realized...he was re-enacting singing and blowing out his candles from last night...cute!!

Oh, and here are the seed trays the boys planted up a few weekends back, just bursting out, they are so proud and check their trays every day for progress...might get those peas and beans in a garden patch this weekend.
and on to things scrappy...this one is my current contribution for the latest NZdare... the dare is to only use scraps to make your layout, so anything half used etc...lots of fun and so quick to do!! Just delve into your box of leftover scraps and start building a layout!

These next two were for the SE comp...having much fun with this too...this one was to scrap something in your life that you do every day..I am just loving using bright colours at the moment they make me feel good!
and this was last weeks challenge...a no photo layout and I chose to scrap why I love the Desiderata....

So this weeks challenge is scrap black and white photos, on a black OR white background with just one other accent colour.....should be good for an all nighter lol! At least I've finally chosen some pics....not really into bl and wh...can't see the point of losing all that lovely colour!! but will be good to try something new! watch this space!
