Just to confuse everyone

I have decided to change the name of my blog .... sorry Mel!

I am having a little dabble in Digital Scrapbook designing and I going to start up a new blog for that that will include links to freebies etc but I would like them both to have a similar name and I have come up with one that I like. Not giving it away now but watch out in the next few days! There will be a bit of a change. I don't think you will have to change any links you have or anything so hopefully it won't be any effort for you.

Today we (being me and Mitchell) decided to do some cooking and cook we did! Had an absolute blast but still trying to clean up after it ... haha. We cooked a yummy Vanilla cake with White Chocolate Frosting and yummy vanilla cream in the middle (sprinkled with Cocoa of course!). Next up was some Double Choc Chip Cookies and some Plain Choc Chip Cookies. Do you know that out of the 20 cookies we baked there are only 5 left!! The culprit will surface I'm sure when they start to feel ill. Thankfully I was able to devour the second peice of the YUMMY cake - yes the second! I'm shocked to, usually I'm left the crumbs!
What else, ahh yes. We made some super duper yummy sausage rolls too! SOOO much nicer than any store brought ones too. The kids devoured them for dinner, well not all of them but most of them. There are some left over to pack as lunches tomorrow. I was totally shocked that Zach, my Mister Fussy won't eat anything little boy, could eat an entire one fast enough! He loved them! I know what I will be making more of again soon. Anna was not so keen but she hasn't been keen on much food all day so I think she might be feeling a little off.

We have plans tomorrow to do some more baking and I really need to crack down and get some new nappies cut out ready to sew up. These two little ones are not so little anymore and are growing out of all thier medium sizes. Thankfully I have a lot of AbbyGro One Size so I'm safe there. I'm really looking forward to getting back into my sewing now that things have settles down after the move! Righty, better head off and finish cleaning up. Hopefully get some photos up of cooking adventures tomorrow.

Lastly sending out some Hugs and Kisses to Mum, don't work to hard ok! Make sure you have some time for yourself. Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Recently I discovered Digital Scrapbooking. Due to being on the move shortly I have had to pack up all my scrapbooking supplies. I was feeling a little bored and came across some digital pages on Angela's - An Angel's Antics Blog. They were so great and sometimes you really can't tell they are digital pages at all. So that's how my addiction started.

I then Googled Digital Scrapbooking and Digital Scrapbooking Freebies. This opened up a whole new world! I started out just downloading freebies from places like Digifree, Digitreats and Cuppycakes Digital Designs. This got me some great free papers and embellishments to get me started. I then discovered Pickleberrypop blog and fell in love with A LOT of there stuff. They are Australian and have there own website here with a great store that has heaps of really affordable (I use the word affordable because the word cheap would just not do them justice!) kits, Alphas, Embellishment packs, grab bags and even Actions (for PSCS - even though I use Paint Shop Pro 9), Brushes, Doodles & Stamps and Overlays and Textures. They also have a great forum that I have recently joined and am loving!

So I am still downloading great freebies from HEAPS of different sites (I will add a list below) but I have also moved onto the world of actually buying from these great designers. My first buys being All I am saying Vol. 1 Elements Pack by Tara Dunstan Designs, Alflafla Alphas by Kaye Winiecki, Pins & Straps elements by Alice Koh Designs, Tagged Elements also by Kay Winiecki and Distressed Stamp Alpha also by Tara Dunstan. I also picked up there Kitbash Vol 3 for free!

I made the page below with a mixture of Alflafla, Tagged (the staples come with Tagged) and Distressed Stamp. The papers are Kit Floraly - Benexav-Digiscrap faded & layered over Folded & Lined Overlay - Gunhild Storeide.
