Through it all we have done loads of reading. We found a really cool site - Storylands . We borrow the books from the library where there is a code in the back. Once at the site and code in, the story is read, there are basic comprehension questions and then fun games to be played. Katie is delighting in it and it helped her to read her first book ever this week. It's just wonderful! Even Hugh is playing along.
Last weekend we were down to Mornington to have Yum Cha with Den's family to remember the second anniversary of Poppy passing. We took the opportunity to have a walk along the beach as always. I love this first photo as it clearly illustrates how Katie is constantly following her big brother around.
This is my new fave photo of my two. Angelic aren't they! *snort*. The scrap pages that follow tell the real story!

This scrap page below shows the real story. This is why Katie is called "The Chonk" - strangling her brother, laughing all the while then doing a victory dance after he stomps off.
I sometimes go to Lien's blog, it's very inspring and this page below was made with freebies from her blog.
Nina has a fabulous range of quick pages. I find them very versatile as you can "play" with them so much as there is plenty of room to add any other goodies you might like.
Best of all one of the QPs is for FREE! Click on the image below to go and collect yours.
Well that is it for another week. There are some exciting new releases coming out this week. So stay tuned for some stunning new goodies from Natasha and Shen. Best wishes everyone :)

Well I'm glad you are all feeling better now. Nothing like the whole family being sick!!
But look at all the gorgeous scrap pages you got done. If I had gastro, I would be crying in my bed, wondering why I had the worst luck in the world!
