Pre- Wedding Pages

Looking back through my archive of Scrapbooking Pages for this year I realised I hadn't posted these 2 pages from my High Tea Kitchen Tea! What an oversight. I guess in the excitement of Wedding lead-up, then Wedding, Honeymoon, my nephew Xander being born, learning how to live together and doing fun stuff as a married couple, it's been a busy few months and I've been scrapping and posting other pages! Anywho, here it is now :) One of my work friends Dennis took the pics for me and I just love them! I made the ribbon rose by punching a circle from cardstock, covering it with double sided tape (coming to think of it, I should have probably just punched a circle from double sided sticky paper to begin with!) and then I worked from the outside sticking, then folding the ribbon at almost a right angle and sticking, then if it needed some more tape I stuck that on top of the ribbon, close to the centre so it would be hidden. Once I got to the middle I snipped and stuck the pearl on for a flower centre! I was uber happy with how it turned out, seeing as I "winged it" and kinda made it up as I went along! It matches my hot pink heels really well! {smiles}.
This second page is from the same day and is Nenna giving Mummy giant smiles! She is such a sweet little thing! Dennis did a great job capturing the full-mouth-open-happy-eyes smile, I love this pic! This was the first day I really saw Nenna smile so big and really interact with Mummy. She is such a sweetie! I thought the pink lace paper really matched in with her sweet pink and white dress and pink headband! So cute!
I am home sick again today, my third day in a row! I tell you, when I get sick I don't like doing it by halves! I have tonsilitis and the Doctor thinks I may also have glandular fever, I'm waiting for the blood test results before I can take antibiotics cos apparently they interact with viral glandular fever and cause a rash. Who knew?! But if it's bacterial glandular fever than I can start taking them. I've gotta go back to the doctor today though, (third day in a row!) cos I forgot to get a doctor's certificate and work needs one. Don't you hate forgetting to ask for that?!! Grrrr!! On the plus side I have been able to sit calmly at my desk and make some cards these last few days, so AJ: I made more baby cards for the box, as requested!
