Latest PBP CT LO

Credits

My latest PBP CT LO is in the galleries and so I thought as usual I would pop it on the blog for all to see. She's gorgeous isn't she? Yep that's Stephanie back in 2003 but that smile isn't any different and nor is her gorgeous personality.

So what's new you ask?

Well where do I begin......lol there is alot going on in the lives of the Turnbulls lately and it has not been an easy journey by any means. Are we any closer to an answer.... all I know is somehow, although struggling, I am trying to stay strong and hang in there but some days are just near impossible while others although not fantastic are better. I guess I try to stay focussed and sometimes the only way to do that is by taking time out be it scrapping, be it sitting in the car at the local lake at night trying to put my thoughts into the right place which doesn't work or some other means of shutting out the world and what we are going through for a time.

Lance is doing ok he has actually been at school yesterday and today which is a miracle in itself because he has missed so much and with an urgent phone call to his paediatrician last week and an urgent meeting with the person that is helping him his medication has just been doubled and a little more of the puzzle has been put together and I see a small glimmer of hope. Time will tell and now we have a little more to work with and something Tim and I have already known because Lance has lived like this for the past 15 years yes you read right 15 years and some have picked it up while others have refused to listen so it will be interesting if the possibility of this diagnosis is what he is FINALLY diagnosed with. It will be sometime yet so I don't wish to let anyone know the details. All in time and I feel that it is really important not to speak about it at this crucial moment.

Ok well just a quick post to let you all know I am still in the land of the living but guess what....just about to unplug the internet and all the cables and take my "baby" to the computer shop. It has been lagging terribly and my "baby" was turned off Sunday and Monday and the other 3 pc's connected to the internet ran beautifully, then go and turn mine on this morning and the other 3 pc's are lagging horribly so rang the guys this morning and they will look into it for me. A few possibilities which I am aware of, but I ain't touching those possibilities and like the saying goes...... I'll leave that in the hands of the experts. I'm not one of them......lol

Ok well until next blogging take care, stay safe say hi to a loved one and tell them how much you love them because we all need to let them know how much they are loved and often and we all need to be told how much we are loved and often.

Hugs Chris xoxo

Happy Birthday Tara

Yep it's Tara's birthday today and so have a great one chicki! It's Monday again, seems to come round ever so quickly. We were mean't to go away this weekend just as an overnighter to friends in Melbourne but as it turned out Tim was not well so it didn't happen. Life is busy as usual but then who's isn't these days and thankfully I don't have so many appointments this week. I just have physio and I also see my OT tomorrow and then Wednesday and Friday is my two weekly hydro sessions and that's about it for now in the way of what I have happening this week which is somewhat better than the past 2 weeks. I haven't scrapped much although I have been working on a LO which just needs the finishing touches put to it which I hope to do today and then start on some CT LO's for Tara as she has the most gorgeous goodies out and I simply can't keep up with that girl.....lol look at her gorgeous new kit Just Another Romance which you can grab here at PBP! But wait there's more but guess what I'm going to leave you in suspense till next blogging....rofl! Yep I sure is but then that gives me something else to blog about.

Ok well that's it for today short and sweet but still worth reading right? Of course so till next bloggin' take care, stay safe and hug a friend in need because there are plenty that need it. Hugs Chris xoxo

New TDD goodies and then some more!

Aren't these brand new goodies from Tara Dunstan Designs just awesome. I am so loving the rich colours and basically everything so why not pop on over to her part of the store at Pickleberrypop and do a little shopping. You won't be disappointed. I am so loving all her designs just a shame I don't seem to have the time to create with them as quickly as she is putting them out. Anyway I told you that I would get these pics up for you to see and now they are you can check out her designs in full at PBP.

It's another busy week and tomorrow I have hydro therapy in the morning and then parent/teacher interviews with Lance's teacher all afternoon so a hectic day. Ok well just a little blog tonight and don't forget if you drop by I would so love for you to say hi and let me know you are all doing.

Till next bloggin' stay safe, take care and hug a loved one.

Hugs Chris xoxo

Holidays are over.......

............and the kids are back in school and boy did they go quick. So it is back to mundane routines and keeping and eye on the clock at all times.....lol and with the kids back in school guess what I managed today?

Baked 2 cakes, did 3 loads of laundry, the dishes, cleaned the kitchen benched, cleaned and polished our dining table, cleaned and tidy the lounge, moved a couple of pot plants....well Tim did that really and I just said grab this one and move it over there please......lol he really did all the hrad work. Clothes off line and towels away, swept dining and laundry floors, caught up in the forums and left a little loving on a few LO's here and there in the galleries, replied to several emails and read many, made a grocery list....well a menu list for when I go shopping so I have my shopping planned with my meals for the week, picked up kids from school, popped into the supermarket for bread and now that the day is almost over and tea is out of the way with I'm here blogging and ready to scrap as well. PHEW I think I am exhausted just reading my own list of what I did today.

Latest LO - A Moment has been uploaded into my galleries and I really enjoyed doing this one as I do all of them but I don't scrap Tim often and I love what this photo portrays and it came together so easy and so well. This LO was also chosen in the standout gallery thread over at DST for the weekend 4/4 - 4/6 and when that happens it really means the world to me. I have been fortunate to have this happen a few times now but it still really stokes me because someone takes the time to go through the gallery and pick my LO which means so much to me let alone all those others that get chosen and very often.

Now I must remember to add the new kits Tara has created as well and show them off but I think I'll do that tomorrow when I have a little more time so until then take care, stay safe and hug a loved one.....better still tell them you love them.

Hugs Chris xoxo

Have a great weekend!

Latest LO is of my son Lance who actually took this photo of himself. Using the new collab kit Happy from Pickleberrypop and Gotta Pixels. For more info on how you can grab this huge kit and what both sites are doing check it out here.

Of course we would love you all to join on in with the challenges at both sites so pop on over, register and join in the fun for the month of April.

Yippee it is the weekend and I am so happy because this week has been a really hectic and busy week and I need some time out. We have finished our school holidays here in Victoria and the kids go back to school on Monday so it will be a somewhat quiet around here. It has been a really enjoyable holidays and I just love having the kids home but like all good things they must come to an end so someone said although I don't believe that all good things really do must come to an end and why should they but anyway 'nuf of that or I could go on about it forever.

Tara Dunstan has some awesome new goodies out yet again. I don't know how she does it with a new born even if Lily Anne is now 12 weeks but she does and pretty darn awesome too but guess what I'm going to leave that till next time and leave you in suspense....rofl!

Anyhoo that's it from me till next bloggin' so until then stay safe, take care and let someone know just how much you love them.

Hugs Chris xoxo
