An update on life with the Arnold's ...

Since my last post life has tracked on.  Gary went away for the weekend looking at the stars and Linda came to visit on the Saturday night.  Then last weekend I went away on a scrapbooking retreat.  Fantastic Weekend organised by Scrapbook HQ.  Had a fantastic time hanging out with Cass and got to met lots of great ladies (Hi to Mel and Trish if you happen to look at this *wave*).

Very creatively inspiring weekend - I got 10 layouts done and made 2 mini albums - though only compelted one of them.  Unfortunately most of the stuff was for Everyday Moments or for design team work so I won't be posting them here at the moment.  I have a couple of layouts that I can post - the layout titled "Feed the DUCKS" won the sketch competition at the retreat which was very exciting.   The Best Friends layout is a "scrap-lift" of Ruey's layout for a challenge that I am running on Scrap-Pile.

It was great becuase the long weekend meant that we could hand out together as a family on the Monday.  So we went for a walk along the Sea-Cliff bridge - it was just a beautiful day for it.  We then had an early lunch before bringing Benson home for his sleep and then we gardened in the afternoon.  Lucky for me Benson seems to love gardening and tried to help Mummy to pull out the weeds!

Benson has been really well.  He is repeating so many words now and seems to understand nearly everything that we say to him.  He certainly has the concepts of yes, no and more sorted out.  At dinner it is "more, more, more!" until we keep feeding him.  He can put away an amazing amount of food!

He is also preoccupied with bubbles, hats, cars and trucks at the moment.  He spends ages just pushing his cars, trucks and buses around the house.

Feel free to go to the gallery at Scrap-Pile and check out more of my new work.  My DT layouts will be up on the site in the next couple of days.  If you are in the Gong, check out my stuff at Addicted 2 Scrappin' in Auburn Street - a great shop to spend some time at.

Will try to do another update soon (... ie try not to be so slack!)

PS.  There are some new layouts in the Gallery as well.
