I posted off the pages along with some "kiwiana" gifts for the children last week, so am looking forward to hearing when she has received them.
Layout #1: "Caution: Cute Kids at Play" - this layout comes from a kit I brought at one of my local scrapbooking stores. The quote on the side says "Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of watching a child @ play". (how cute are her children)
Layout #2 "Siblings", I used Kraft paper & cardstock for this layout, I love how much fun thye are having together in this photo and how much they look like they love playing together, so I wanted to represent that in the layout. The quote says "A sibling is a friend given my nature".
I would love to trade the places with a numbr of people, but something I would LOVE to do is work in the marketing and promotions department of a major sporting franchees and 3 that I would love to work with are: Hendrick Motor Sports can compete in NASCAR, LA Lakers Basketball team & New York Yankees Baseball team. I would also love to work as a roadie for U2. So I dont know who the actual people are who do these jobs, that I would love to be in their shoes for a day (and more).
I really could think of alot of "favourite nights" that I have enjoyed in my life time: first school ball; U2 concerts; family weddings & milestone birthdays; New Years Eve in Sydney 2010-2011, New Years Eve at Pakiri Beach 2008-2009;Bring at the Breakers Game when they won the 2011 championship; a couple of fantastic "girls nights" just to name a few, but one that stands out is the night I took Bailey to see Cold Play here in Auckland. Joe & I had been to the concert the night before and Bailey was disappointed we hadnt got a ticket for him (he is a ColdPlay fan), the following day Cold Play was playing a second concert and our local radio station had the final two tickets to give away, they had a small competition where you had to guess where they were and it was the first person to get to them - the clue was, they were hiding in a supermarket fridge, the radio DJ said, "Whats the price of butter today" and the Promo Lad replied, "This isnt the kind of fridge that stores butter", I knew it had to be a alcohol fridge and at the time I only knew of two supermarkets in Auckland to have one and it just so happened that I was nearly at the motorway off ramp next to one of them, so of course I went there and sure enough there the guy was, extremely cold and waiting for someone to come in - YES!! I had two tickets!! Of course I took Bailey, they were General Admission tickets and I knew from being at the concert the night before that the band walked down the side and played at the back of stadium during the concert, so I set Bailey and I up so we could have a close up view as they came down and therefore didnt need to send the night in the crowds up front and I wasnt going to risk my then 9 year old getting squashed.
Home & Away has been my one of my favourite programs since I was about 10 years old. I remember when I was about 15 TVNZ decided it wouldnt show it anymore - I was devastated, I remember complaining and cry to mum, this was before the days of internet. I have to be honest, I watch H&A on YouTube now so that am only a day behind Australia rather then the NZ 6 weeks :) (sad I know)
Margaret and I have been friends for over 20 years, it starts as netball team mates and the friendship slowly grew from there. Our friendship has had its up's and down's but at the end of the day we have and will always he there for each other through the good and bad times.
The second layout is my son Bailey meeting his new cousin Payton for the first time. Bailey loves his cousins more then I can explain, he is an only child so I think he see's his cousins as siblings as much as cousins, they spend alot of time together - almost daily, so they fight like siblings but couldnt live without each other.
