Holidays are over


My girl was so glad to be going to pre-school today..but I'm missing her...our first couple days of the holidays were a bit of a whirlwind, then she went to her dad's for 5 days...she got back on Sunday, but we had my niece stay for the second week of the hols so I didn't really get much time with my girl.

The first 2 days back from her dad's she was in "settling back" mode (aka a right little madam!) and once she settled down there was the inevitable Keziah did this/Taiga did that between the cousins...Keziah (ZiZi) is 9 & Taigy 4... I don't think that's a crash hot combo. ZiZi wants to do more grown up things & Tai wants to copy her - which I "get" can be frustrating for Zi...but hello I want to do my own thing too LOL!!!

So I was glad to drop Zi home on Sat..then Tai had a huge sleep when we got home & has been a perfect angel ever since....and now pre-school gets all that good behaviour & I'm back to getting the tired girl at the end of the day.

I can't wait for Thursday when I have her all to myself again!

Well I had a great night at the Embellished CyberCrop on Friday night...but woke up crook on Saturday...might have been the KFC from Friday nights dinner...not sure - but I'm still feeling the effects!

Anyway we had 4 great challenges set by the lovely Lorrie & surprisingly I managed to complete them all.

No. 1 was a sketch challenge & had to use predominantly pink
No.2 was an Idol challenge - had to have the word Idol in the title & scrap a page about one of our idols
No.3 was a primary colour & shape challenge - had to use at least 2 primarys & 3 shapes....funny thing...after posting it I realised i didn't use any pp - oh & the photos are Vicky Gibson inspired...man I got sooo much out of that class!!
No.4 was using a household item for inspiration - but I'll share that in the next post - cos blogger is doing its 3 pic limit thing to me.

OK that's my share for the day...I'm going to go & get some DT entry stuff sorted.

Oh, before I go...great news - I made through to round 3 of Embellished Idol wahooooo!!!

ciao
