And i was recently lucky enough to be accepted onto Anita Stergiou's CT. I have always liked her stuff so i had to take the plunge and apply. I am so glad that i did as I have had so much fun so far using her products and getting to know the other girls. And she's an Aussie too!!!! BONUS.

So here are a couple of LO's i have done using her stuff:
This first LO was using her Floriade kit.

And now time for a belly shot. Unfortunately this is a really bad photo but you get the idea.

Playing catch up!

I feel very, very slack as I haven't posted in here for over 2 weeks. Better late than never right? RIGHT??? lol

There's not really all that much to say at the moment. I am 19.5 weeks along and feeling pretty good. I'm getting more of a protruding belly which is kinda cool. And i don't feel really fat yet which is even cooler!! I'm sure i was heaps bigger at this stage with Coban. I am feeling both the little bubs moving around more now too which is so wonderful. It is such a relief to know that they are both still hanging in there. We go for our scan next Friday so we are getting very excited!! We will be finding out the sexes but keeping it a secret from everyone just 'cause we can. It was my idea and it's basically just because i'm mean!! lol. And names will DEFINITELY be kept a secret as i just know that i will get negative remarks.

I have been busy looking at houses for the past couple of weeks. It is very frustrating that they don't put heaps of photos on the www so that you can actually get a better idea of a place. I have looked at so many houses and they are all just not quite right. We may have to move a little bit further out than we planned but it will be worth it to have luxuries.

Friday after our U/S, we are heading up to Kapunda, S.A to stay with my Dad and brother for a few days. We will leave Melbourne Friday about 10.30am and driving until we feel like stopping. Then we'll stay the night somewhere and then keep going through to Kapunda the next morning so we will get there early Saturday morning. We plan on going to the Barossa and and doing the wineries. We usually do this when we go to Dad's as he lives right near there. Hopefully we score ourselves some great deals and once I am no longer pregnant, I can enjoy a glass or two again.

It is my nephew Xavier's naming ceremony on the Sunday and this will be the first time that we have seen him IRL. I am really looking forward to it!! I just need to think of something to make for him. Any ideas?????

I am in the process of making a mini album for a friend's Mum atm. I have visions in my head of what it should look like so hopefully it turns out that way lol.

I was going to leave you with some LO's and a belly pic but it seems blogger has other ideas so i'll post them later.

This n That.

I thought i'd better update on yesterday considering it was Coban's birthday. Since we already had his party on the weekend, we didn't really do too much on the actual day. Mum came over and we went to McDonalds for lunch. Coban had about 2 bites of his burger and a handful of chips but was really just interested in the playground. He went and had a play outside and even growled at a kid that was being bossy and pushing him away. That's my boy lol. After that we went back inside and got him a soft serve cone. He loved that!!



Mum got him a new Tonka tow truck and a Wiggles doona cover. Since we don't have his bed yet, we took out the pillow case and found a pillow for him. He has had that in his cot and just loves it. He says goodnight to them all before he goes to sleep lol.

Last night he woke up hysterical and wouldn't stop crying for ages. I still don't know what was wrong with him but i suspect he may have either had a nightmare or a sore tummy. He slept in our bed for a little while but i put him back as I couldn't sleep. He is fine this morning.

I did this LO for the monthly scraplift challenge at DSS using the April challenge freebie, Elegant Blooms by Tabby Lewis.



I also got DH to take a picture of my growing belly last night. I can't believe how much it is poking out at the moment. It's so funny.

These boots...

were made for walking, and pretty much anything else you could think of lol.



Coban's Grandpa & his girlfriend bought them for Coban's b'day and they are the most incredible looking boots ever. They are a Thomas Cook brand and are called 'Amphibian' footwear because they are designed to be worn in water, snow, mud etc, etc. Which is perfect for Coban as he loves all of those things and we like to go 4WD'ing and camping. So anyway, I just thought I'd post a pic of them because I think they are so cool.

Birthday parties rock!!

Coban's birthday party was a huge success. The weather was absolutely glorious and I am so glad that we decided to have it at the park. We chose the most beautiful big open park called Westerfold's Park in Templestowe and it was perfect. We managed to get a couple of tables under a couple of big trees so there was plenty of shade and room.

I made an Elmo cake and Coban loved it. I got a lot of comments from everyone there too so I was pretty pleased with myself lol. I was certain that i would stuff it up as I had to make the cake bigger so couldn't use the guidelines that i had.



I was so proud of Coban all day too. He was so well behaved and totally cute with food and dirt all over his face lol. He just can't help himself when we are in a park.

Here are some more pics of the day.



In the morning we decided to give him his main present which was a basketball ring and stand. He loved it and weplayed with that for ages. He then noticed the big cardboard box that it came in and climbed in for a rest. It was so adorable. I had a brilliant idea to turn the box into a boat for him. (Too much watching PlaySchool i think lol). So anyway, DH & I got to making this boat which took about 10 minutes and Coban thought that was just fabulous. So all in all it was a great day. I did wake up this morning with a major tummy ache and feeling sick so i think next time i won't eat as many chocolate crackles.



Here are a couple of my LO's to show:

And most of you already know this but our house was broken into Friday morning. The only things that were taken were 2 of DH's guitars so it's all just a bit too weird. Nothing else was taken or even touched so it seems that it may have been an inside job. At least that is our opinion anyway. I really hope they turn up at a second hand dealers somewhere and we get them back as the acoustic was DH's fave possession and has a lot of sentimental value to him.

Ok better go and do some grocery shopping now.
