What a day.
America officially has a new president. Yep, I stayed up all night to watch the inauguration. The coverage started around midnight here in Australia, with the official ceremonies kicking off at about 4ish … I don’t really know, as my eyes were falling out of my head about then. I did see most of it, but drifted off to sleep after Obama’s speech, so I managed about an hours sleep before Dennis got up to go to work. Today Tayla has her BFF from kindergarten over to play – they are in full swing dress-up mode at the moment. I’ve had princesses, witches and fairies running all over the house, goodness knows what they are turning into now!
So, the inauguration. He’s such a great speaker. I was moved, and I’m not even American! There’s just something about a stirring political speech which speaks to my soul. Loved it!
Less than a week until back to school, and back to work … so wishing we had a bit longer! I’ve been making the most of my scrapping time though, and managed to squeeze in some scrapping with Michelle, and some cuddles with Holly. Lots of layouts done for the LSBS cybercrop – it’s the most challenges I’ve managed to do for this for ages!
This one was a pic I took while playing with the new lens … working out how to get different things in focus in a picture. The Sass Lass Reindeer Kisses paper was just perfect – how cute are those little reindeer? 
I love this diecut stitched cardstock – it’s Bella. Add some cool papers, some gorgeous lace, and you have my favourite layout at the moment!!
This one was for a challenge set my Nic … to scrap an ordinary moment. This was that day last week where the temperature hit a squillion … the girls found their own way to keep cool!
Kelsey grading to Orange Belt/white stripe at Karate … what a legend!
And, finally, Dennis and the girls cooking dinner. And he says I’M a messy cook! lol I used a lot of old supplies on this one – I’m trying to use up some old pp, so I don’t feel guilty about the yummy new stuff I’ve got coming from Scrap Therapy. BG Bittersweet … yumm!!!K, I’d better go … the girls are playing Dance Factory on PS2, and want to show me their moves. I hope they don’t want me to dance, I don’t think I’m awake enough to be able to follow all those moves!
Hey great layouts Tamara! I would never have thought to put that rainbow paper with the karate photos but it works a treat. Love it! 🙂
Goodluck with starting back at work next week!
Loved scrapping! We should do it more often – look how productive we were! Your LOs look great altogether!
