Welcome Back .... Blog Giveaway .......

Oh... so this is what my blog looks like !!! .... I am so so sorry I haven't blogged for nearly 8 weeks now, guilty as charged **blush**.  So I have decided to make it up to you by having a blog RAK.  I am very generous with my giveaways (just ask the recipients of the last three) so all you have to do is become a Google Reader (I lost everybody when I switched from typepad to blogger) and leave me a comment at the end of this post.......

So what do you get I hear you ask.... well gorgeous products from these amazing manufacturers .....

On the home front, both Emma and Madison have returned to Calisthenics at Brighton.  They both have a natural ability to dance, and its just a pleasure watching them practice and perform.  Somehow, I have been coaxed back into dancing again, (after a 15 year break mind you), joining the Brighton Masters.  I think we do more laughing than anything else, and I have discovered muscles I didn't know I had over the last 3 weeks !!  Anyhow, if you are lucky, I will post some photos in the future.

Just before Christmas I was blessed enough to be invited up to the talented Belinda Spencer's farm in the Adelaide Hills for a visit and photo session.  The farm is absolutely gorgeous with the little deers and haystacks and was perfect for snapping a few photos of the girls.  Emma was having a "I really don't want to be in front of the camera again day" so unfortunately, I only really got this one photo of her that I was pleased with.

However, Madi was more than happy to be snapped and I got some amazing photos of her on that beautifully textured hay and backdrop.  So pleased the way these turned out.

Ok, so onto some shares that have gone up over at the Prima Blog, the first one from the Lifetime Collection.  Lifetime is one of those collections that is timeless and elegant, colored perfectly to match so many photos and themes...and the patterns are vintage, yet so funky!  It's such a gorgeous mix.

                          

This project is from the Ladybird Collection.  I kinda was a little freaked out with the colors (not a huge fan of orange), but creating this page was like a breath of fresh spring air. LadyBird will bring rays of sunshine to your projects. Created with bright happy colors, and clean graphics i found it so easy to work with.  Don't you just love that photo of Madison .... the little tulle skirt is from Collette Dinnigan's Range for kids over at Target.  I just fell in love with it.

                               

I thought I would leave my fav. layout till last.  This one was created with the newly released Lyric Collection.  I love the mix of peach, pink, white, and black; its so striking when everything is put together.  

 So thanks for making your way back over here guys, I am back in the full swing of creating now, and have lots to share over the coming year.

Don't forget to leave a comment when you join my Google readers (and remember - even if you already follow my blog) leave a comment as anybody can enter from international to local girls.  This RAK will be open for a week xo
