Pregnancy Update - Getting Bigger!

-
Here's a photo of me taken by my daughter (aged 4). I am huge! And carrying very low! I still have 15 weeks to go. The countdown is on. I am not a very good pregnant person! I whinge ALOT! Lucky for me my DH would have a football team if I was up for it so he is very caring and understanding despite my constant complaints. I am currently suffering from Shortness of Breath, Heartburn, Leg Cramps and my back isn't coping well at all.

My back is a little unstable at the best of times (ballet and horseridding as a kid). But now it's really not coping well. Lucky for me DH has been home on holidays and so was able to pick up my son from school while I was bedridden. It seems to be because I'm carrying so low. But I am wide open to any and all home remedies you guys have for heartburn and leg cramps! I'm not getting alot of sleep at present as I have to wake up to roll over due to my back and then the heartburn wakes me with acid in my mouth and then my legs cramp up and wake me up!

I can't wait till the baby arrives and I only have to wake up every 4hours!

THANKS! I'm feeling much better now. Just leg cramps, back pain and heartburn now! Don't you just love all the things you can have at once when you're pregnant? I know I'm looking alot more stylish than any of my previous pregnancies thanks to the bag of clothes you leant me. So even if I don't feel great I can look good! LOL

Cardstock only Layouts

-

After looking at the cost of a layout I'm going to challenge myself to do some cardstock only layouts (not for my wedding though). Do you think you could manage it? Well I'm not sure but I'm gonna give it a go. But it does get a little ridiculous the costs, con't you think? So I'm going to challenge myself to do a layout using cardstock and patterned paper only! Of course not having a cricuit or sizzix or anything this will mean hand cutting my title....... painstaking... BUT I think it'll be a challenge artistically too. These layouts were done by Deb of Toowoomba and you can see how she's used her paper and cardstock to acentuate her photo's theme.... I especially love the dolphin! When I went to a scrapbook evening recently one of the ladies did a fabulous layout using paper piecing. She made Dora the Explorer layous and her 'dora' was fantastic. I don't think I have that much patience but punching and tearing are right up my alley. Bu...

Coffee Mugs are Finished

Here are the digi scrapped coffee mugs I told you about a few posts back. They're back from the "printer". These were really easy to do. I first created my document that I was digi scrapping and I made the size of the document 4" x 6'" (a standard photo). I then decorated that page using my digital scrapbooking papers and embellishments and finally added the photos. I then went to my local photo lab and uploaded these images to their software and chose to have them printed on mugs. (I chose the stretch option which stretches the image around the mug. So then I had to resize the image to get all my decorations on the mug). And here they are! It only took them a week to print them! So if you're thinking of doing this for a christmas present I think you may just get it back in time...... but check with your photo lab to make sure they could get it back to you before Christmas. I'm happy with the result..... hope the recipients will be too?

Digiscrap a PhotoBook when on special!

-
Image
Have you ever wondered what to do with all that beautiful digitally scrapbooked work? Well you could print a photo book. I save all my pages up and then when there's a special on (Like the recent $9.95 for a 19 page book at Big W) I go in and get them printed. This way I have a hard copy of my work to show people and I get the pages printed very cheaply... that's around 52 cents per page. Just remember though the specials are more commonly done for the smaller books 8 x 8 etc. So when doing your layouts keep that in mind.
