I have a brand new niece.
LAUREN ELIZABETH STEVENS
born 7/2/06
3.355 kg
I drove down to Nowra and back yesterday ( about 4 hours driving) to see her . When Brad and Linda had William they were living in Deniliquin ( 10 Hours aways) and so Linda spent 6 days in hospital with precious few visitors.
So this time I was not going to let that happen again.
Lauren is quite beautiful and very noisy. I made her a pram quilt, which will match her room perfectly, unbeknowns to me.
Photos to come.

Bloody Computers
I have spent the day trying to get my new printer/scanner to work and I can't even turn it on. Lots of swearing and kicking of computer equipment has occurred.
I wouldn't be so peeved only that I was determined to have the accounts for the P&C meeting tommorrow night done and looking beautiful. Last year I wasn't organised and didn't produce them. So I have them all finished and now I can't print them out. How frustrating !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like I'll be taking them on disc.
Anyway, I am now going to play with my scrap supplies to calm my nerves. This week I went to Scrapbook HQ with my blinkers on and only bought cardstock. I buy so much patterned paper that I end up with no cardstock for my LOs. SO I am now going to play. I'll show you my work tomorrow.

Chrissy Presents
This year I gave a few Scrapped presents for Chrissy. My mum and Step mum got albums - to be added to for birthdays etc, and both my sisters in law ( brother's wives) received quote books.
These books I am most proud of. I collected quotes that were meaningful to me and decorated two 3inch books. The pink one went to together really quickly and I thought that this concept was going to be great. But the blue proved more difficult. It just didn't work - the ribbon was wrong , I didn't have enough patterns , then I had too many. Eventually I was happy and the reaction from the girls was wonderful. Of course , I was putting the blue together in the last week before Christmas, so many my mind wasn't on the job.
Anyway I'm off to watch the 20/20 cricket. See ya.

2006 - A new start
I am trying to get photos of my LO's for you all. But I haven't been happy. But that could just be me procrastinating.
I loved the paisley paper and wanted to use it just for me. I tend to scrap photos of the kids ( as there are more photos of them), but I now live creating things for ME.
Hopefully the nes\xt lo's posted will have better photos. We'll see
