Here are two I have done of him recently (well, last year to tell you the truth. That's only like 2
months ago, can I call that recent {giggles}).This first one is using a gorgeous pic of my boy from our trip to Darlington Park last year. Look how round his head is! He was a real little nugget there, he's getting so long in his body now {sigh}. My boy is growing up!
I have a thing for moustaches at the moment. Not especially IRL, (though Tom Selleck is a natural wonder!) but as an image/icon on things. That's why I love Typo so much. Have you ever been into a Typo store? Have someone else hold your wallet when you go in, or you'll end up buying the whole shop! I {heart} it! I bought a cool moustache stamp recently, self inking, and only $3. That didn't break the bank! The rest of the stuff there though, oooohhh I'd like so much stuff, if only it was half the price! And they have heaps of cool moustache stuff. But anyway... I love this moustache guy on the top right of this page. I bought the whole packet from BigW cos this guy spoke to me! Luckily the other die cuts in the pack were also usable! LOL! I actually did some handstitching on this page too {smacking hands against cheeks, aghast!} My red bakers twine was already threaded with a needle and sitting on my desk. Therein lies my usual problem with handstitching- laziness {sits feet up on desk}. I can never be bothered! But I did it, and I'm proud. 3 little "X" s
titches, that's all it took for me to be proud. LOL! I stitched over some ancient Mulberry paper I had lurking in the piles on my desk. I love it!And this second page is of our swimming lessons! Well, water confidence lessons anyway. And Jaimeson just loved it! He's such a whizz in the pool, so relaxed, loves to splash his hands and kick his feet. My good boy! {clapping hands} I love the bikini stickers on this page. I have had them, (ashamedly), for about 8 years. Or maybe more {smacking hand}. BUt I used some, so be happy for me {patting back!} It's a 12 inch strip of them though, so I've still got a few bikinis left! LOL! The cute bunny sticky tape I got in a Korean shop in Melbourne last year, I {heart} printed tapes! I've got a lot, and I'm not hoarding them either. Hooray {cheer squad dancing in the background!}

Funny you mention Typo - we stayed in Brisbane on the weekend - and I researched where the Typo store was so that I could go - needless to say I spent almost all my spending money the first day at Typo - and then went back the next day and spend the last of my money!! ha ha ha I LOVE TYPO!! I got lots and lots of goodies. And I also made a page last year of my little man with that same mustache guy!!
If you love mustaches - there is an Echo Park paper that is just covered in mustaches!! I cant wait to use it!
Did I give you the owl journalling spot? I have them too. :) I don't know if I've used one yet!
Hey, you forgot Uncle Roger's natural wonder! I like some moustache products too. I bought the moustache post it collection from Typo at DFO. They have heaps of seconds - the pack was open so it was only $2. I have bought SO many bargains from that shop! My best bargain was a giant metal ampersand which was $40, I made a sad face and the girl behind the counter said "Oh that one is bent so you can have it for $2"!!!!! It was easy to bend it back into shape too!!
I never thought of stitching with bakers twine! Moira gave me some. I'd love to buy some more tho cos I've used up some colours.
