Heart Sessions - a true heart

Rebecca Sower one of my favourite creators is having "heart sessions" on her blog and the idea is that she would like to send hearts and love all around the blogging world and is asking for people to join. All you need to do is something hand crafted using hearts and post on your blog. Anyway check out her blog for all the details. I thought this was such a cool idea and since its the month of love I thought I would join in so here is my first heart session (and will share more over the next few days). Its a card that I made a few weeks back but hadn't shared yet, so glad I didn't cause this seems a better time to share.

52msc #4

I have been a bit late with this one (should have been up last week) its challenge #4 "Let a song lyric inspire a layout".
This one was not hard as for several months before christmas all Alex talked about was an ipod and she did everything to let us know that she wanted one. One of the things she did was walk around the house singing "all I want for christmas is an ipod". Yep everyday we had to listen to this along with "you know I want a blue one" and "please can I have an ipod".

So this was an easy layout and fun to do.

Oh and when she got the ipod she screamed so loud she sent every dog in the neighbourhood mental.

Challenge #5 should be up tomorrow. Its done I just haven't had time to photograph it.

I also wanted to saya huge, huge thankyou to everyone for all your comments, text messages and phone calls wishing Alex (and me) good luck for High School. It was so heart warming and it made Alex and myself very happy, so thank you, thank you, thank you.

Alex is loving High School and making lots of new friends which is just great. She missed the bus home on the first day but it was all good. She rang and I went and picked her up. As it turned out it was the best thing that could happen because it gave Alex and I time to chat about her day without any interuptions. It was just nice to sit and chat, just the two of us. Its been a long time since we have done that. I love it when something goes wrong (or not quite according to plan) and it turns out to be a good thing. I just love how the universe works some times.

have a great day

love me :-)

first day

Its official... I am a complete wreck. I have walked Alex over to catch the bus and it took all my courage not to cry. I am really shocked at how much this is affecting me. I really didn't think it would be this hard.
Last night (while trying to stop crying, I know silly but I was just so anxious) I was reading Rebecca Sowers blog and she was talking about writing in her secrets journal. A place where she keeps all kind of secrets just meant for her. This really struck a cord in my and I thought I should journal how I am feeling about alex starting high school. So I did. I just grabbed an ordinary envelope, wrote a note and sealed it inside the envelope. I wanted to seal it because it was kind of fun to have a secret written down and sealed so that it remains secret until Iwant to let it out. I decorated the front and tore a definition from the dictionary "anxious" and stuck it to the front. Its just a little reminder of how I was feeling. The journal itself will come together as I add pages... I am not really worried too much.

I also put a little note into Alex's lunch box. I just wanted to remind her that I was thinking of her and to enjoy this time. I made these little "lunch box" notes last year for a class at Tomorrows Memories. If anyone would like the instructions just let me know, they are so easy and fun to do.

And here she is, all dressed and ready to go. Have the time of your love sweetheart and enjoy this part of your life. Love Mum.

Enjoy your day I am off now for another cry... silly isn't it.

love me :-)

i love my ipod & anxious me

Sitting here trying to get used to the fact that my little girl starts high school tomorrow. I thought Alex would be the one all anxious and stuff but it turns out its me. Who would have thought... this being a mum is just too hard sometimes.
So for all those 1st dayers out there tomorrow (including the Mums), good luck and my heart is with you. Have the best day ever and enjoy this wonderful part of the journy.

To lighten things up just wanted to share another LO that I have done for Tomorrow's Memories using the little yellow bycicle paper. Not only have I got a thing for pink at the moment but banners as well.

Have a great day tomorrow and enjoy

love me :-)
