what an awesome week :) starting off with a public holiday (Aaron home!!!) and a really nice morning at craft on wednesday with both kids who were just amazingly great and let me even get some scrapping done...which leads me to one of the best things this week, getting organised to start teaching scrapbooking classes again :) !!!!!
I went into a local scrap shop about a month ago, and as I was leaving the owner asked if I would be interested in teaching some classes for her. I was a bit reluctant cause I really haven't been seriously scrapbooking for ages...maybe 2yrs or so? But I thought it'd be such a great way to get back into it so I emailed her after talking to Aaron about it and said I'd LOVE to!
So I've started off with a class that comes from an Aussie Scrap Source kit...a nice easy way to get back into it. I'm halfway thru the 4 pages in the kit and am loving doing it again. It's hard not to feel overwhelmed with all that I feel I 'should catch up on', but I'm trying to simplify my approach to scrapbooking in general, starting with NOT allowing myself to feel pressured and bogged down with scrapping every birthday/major event etc.
My awesome week continued with a catch up with someone I haven't seen in ages :) and paint and play with Malakai this morning. He is just blooming at the moment, his gorgeous personality is really coming out and I'm enjoying him heaps. He uses the word 'awesome' all the time...I might ask him if he wants to do something and he'll say, 'that'd be awesome'...I wonder where he picked that up from?!
Ella is doing her little cowgirl walk everywhere now and is pretty awesome herself. The only thing I'm unimpressed with her about is her ability to suss out when I'm sneaking naughty food and insist that I share :( the boys were fairly oblivious to my frequent sneaks of chocolate behind the pantry door, but Ella is WAY more clued into that sort of thing! RATS! But it makes for some special times too. She loves to wear shoes now, says 'cuggle' and 'share' but doesn't say no much, yet...her favourite naughty thing to do is go up the stairs and get into the cupboards, particularly the onion/potato cupboard and the basket of paints (thankfully she hasn't opened them yet!).
Well, the kids are sleeping, I'm off to help out at school in an hour so I'm going to keep scrapbooking while I can. Hope everyone else had a nice week too ;)
