No Paparazzi!!

No Paparazzi please! Lol!
I was trying to take a pic of Jaimeson's gorgeous big smile but he kept wanting to touch my face instead!! What a cutie our boy is!

The sunshine

And for a second the clouds parted & the sun shone straight in through the window and onto his beautiful face! What an angel!

An Animal in the House

Yep, we've got ourselves a real Walrus! LOL! Jaimeson always puts SO MUCH effort into his yawns and his mouth opens so wide and on an angle, it really makes me laugh! Here he is at a mere 3 weeks old, giving us an awesome animal impression!
I spritzed the plain sage green BG paper with my new Denim Misting spray I got at the Quilt show! I like the effect, though you wouldn't want to be a perfectionist cos I say the spray rather "drips" than "Sprays". But I like the effect none the less, and at least it means you can see it in pictures! How cute is the brown bobble fibre? I got it on a roll for $2 from Spotlight. Bargain! I love the phrases "Roll with it" and "Enjoy the Moment" cos they seem to suit how Jai must be feeling when he gets his whole face in on the yawning action! The animal BG paper I have had for eons too, so happy to use it here! It's so sweet, and I've been hoarding it for a special page. None more special than of our special guy!

Pic: Special Guy conked out after a feed. A common face of his! Look at those cheeks! And check out all his new hair growing along the hairline on his forehead. So soft and fuzzy!

WJWW Week 3

Here's our little man, chillin' in his rocker. He has not been a happy camper just now. How can he be full after only a 5 minute feed? I don't know, but his ear piercing yells suggest he has a pain in his tummy too, so he's having a little rest with his emergency dummy & has settled down. Poor fella! Maybe its the bad weather ;)
So for this week's "What Jai Wore Wednesday" he is wearing one of my fave striped suits, I just love the colours! And his gorgeous denim MC Hammer pants from Aunty Fliss go so well! And they've even got working pockets which I stuck his hand in & he looked so cute! What a cool dude.

Bodysuit: Target
Pants: Cotton On Kids
Booties: Granny
Dummy: Nuk
Giraffe: Russ

Oh Happy Boy!

So you missed me Yvette? Awe, so sweet! Well, as a prize for your enthusiasm toward me, I present you with a Jaimeson page, and it's one with one of my fave pics of him too! Isn't he just so cute! {chest swelling with pride. And a little bias}. This pic reminds me that Jai looks soooo much more Asian in pictures! And how well does the BG paper match Jai's outfit?! Meant to be!
I took him in to work yesterday for the first time and everyone said how gorgeous he is (and I didn't even have to pay them to say that, or threaten their jobs, LOL!) A few people commented that they wanted to eat him (a feeling i have now and then, especially when I see his delicious thighs, or gorgeous chubby cheeks and little chin!) and some wanted to take him home (I didn't let him out of my sight in case someone smuggled him into their locker to take home later!) He also got comments like "He looks so much like Will" and "He looks so much like you" which is interesting seeing as Will and I look nothing alike, and aren't even the same race. But I guess it means Jaimeson has a nice spread of both of our traits! We are soooo proud of our little man and it was so wonderful for all of our work friends to see who was inside the bump they saw every day for 9 months! We did get mobbed though, by everyone from our co-workers, my boss, bosses from other departments, workers from other departments, workers from other floors, the canteen ladies to the cleaners! I guess Will and I are well liked at work {wink} And also, a baby does tend to draw people to you!
:) C
P.S. Family photo for you! Next time anyone sees the 3 of us together can you please take a family photo! Cos otherwise we keep just taking these self-taken pics, and they're not really frame-worthy!

On the train again....

We are all rugged up & on our way into the city to meet up with an old High School friend (Firman, if you're interested who!) it's Coooold this morning again so both Jai and I have many layers on! I love meeting up with old friends so it should be a fun morning. I haven't seen Firman for 2 years, and before that it had been about 4 years! Plus I might get time for a little shop around before I come home again ;) yay!
:) C


Here is my sweet little fellow rugged up in his pram! Such a home boy in his beanie & hoodie!!
Ps- I wrote this at 10am but it wouldn't post, so don't worry, I'm not on the train at 6:30pm!

WJWW Week 2

Hello!
It's time for another "What Jai Wore Wednesday"! Did you all check out his "Measles Suit" last week? Well, this time it's another cool ensemble, check out my cutie! The funky personalised romper is courtesy of Jaimeson's lovely Aunty Yvette (who instigated us playing WJWW as she is posting along with her friends.) The romper says "Jaimeson. Since 19/05/11." Awesomeness! I had to put him in it on a Wednesday Yvette, so you could see how cool he looks in it! Then I paired it with a Granny knitted cardigan that has the cutest little blue duck buttons, which Will said kinda makes him look like a pansy. That was until I pointed out Will has a knitted jumper exactly the same colour which even has argyle pattern on it, so they who live in glass houses should not throw stones! {high five!} The cute little Moccasin shoes I got at "The Children's Place" in Hawaii when Jai was still Peabody :) Memories... {music playing off in the distance}. We went shopping up at Castle Towers with Granny, Papa, Xander, Felicity, Cooper and Sienna on Wednesday, so this outfit wasn't wasted on me here at home!

Little boy

Hi Y'all!
Here is my little Jaimeson, the second week he was home! Look at how tiny he was! Oh, memories {sighing off into the distance...} cos he's a big boy now! We had his 6 week check up at the Doctors last week and with a nappy and singlet on he weighed.... 5.5kg! WHOA! My chubba bubba! I think most of that weight is contained in his cheeks :)
Anyway, the page is about how sweet it was to see Jaimeson in blue clothes when he was little! We didn't know if he would be a boy or girl so he didn't have too many tiny blue clothes! Mind you, he's got plenty of clothes now! And I did just buy him a little shirt today that says "Handsome is my middle name" which is ironic, cos one of the meanings of his Chinese name is Handsome!! LOL!
And here is the Little Man himself enjoying life....

Baby Card Stampage!

I've been on a Stampage! A Stamping Rampage, if you will {smirk} and I've been churning out baby cards like they're going out of style! It must be the inspiration from my gorgeous boy Jaimeson and the desire to use up more of my scrap stash so that I can keep up with my New Years Resolution! {High Five!} I think I've used up at least another 2% of my scraps in just a few days. LOL! It's such a numbers game for me, call me my Father's daughter!
Will's sisters are currently my best card clients, and Lil has been to so many baby showers lately that my baby card stash is quite diminished! There mustn't have been much on tv during the last quarter of last year! Hahahaha {belly laugh!} And I have been inspired to ink up lots of different stamps lately too, and break out some of my Stampin Up stamps that haven't seen ink yet! Like the sweet little stamps on the first 2 cards. I love the Sweet Pea (seeing as Jaimeson was called Peabody) and the Peanut is my second fave. So Cute! Actually, that's the name of this set too... ironic! I love the big pink flowers on this second card too, I got them at the Quilt show a week ago, hooray for breaking open the packet already {patting self on back}.
I think the 2 little Elephants on Stampin Up's "Baby Steps" stamp are just gorgeous! I saw a card on splitcoast where someone had stamped a second tiny elephant behind the Mummy elephant by inking up just the baby with a marker, and they had made a "Twins" card, oh so sweet! So you can see I had the pink swirly embossed card out on my desk, cos I've used it on all the girl cards! LOL! And I went about making duplicate cards again too, but this time I used different stamps or embellishments to make them look a tiny bit different, even if the LO was the same.
Fox and Friends is definitely one of my fave sets for children, I have to admit to being a bit disappointed with the baby sets that are in the current SU catalogue. I really have to stretch my imagination to keep coming up with cute cards using the limited sets! Hopefully in the new catty which is out Sep 1, there will be more to choose from!
And I am currently still working on boy cards, but here are a couple I did yesterday! I had to use a Kaisercraft mini stamp set for this one {wink!} I do love that plane though, its so cute for boys! And the "Little Man" sentiment which I love is from the same set, and sometimes I call Jaimeson that too, so it's even more special to me :) I did a red plane card too, and the sentiment on this one is from a Kaisercraft set also. I found the "So cute" ribbon in my stash, I had totally forgotten about it! I think maybe I should do a NY resolution for ribbons next year! Hahaha! But I LOVE ribbon! Nah, I think I'll just stick with papers, its hard enough to reach that resolution!
And one more boy card, also using Fox and Friends. The whale is soooo cute (ok, obviously today I think everything is soooo cute!) But he really is cute cos he has a tiny heart coming out of his water spout! The whale makes a good boy card I think, and there's my fave sentiment again! The zig zag edge is doing using a Martha Steward punch. I love punches, especially edgers and label shapes, they add a little extra "zing" to my cards!
And for Monday, here is your pic of Jaimeson! I LOVE it when he purses his lips and makes a tiny tiny "O"! This isn't even the smallest O he can make, sometimes its just so tiny that it make me laugh out loud! Its especially amazing seeing as he has a wide smile. How do you go from wide smile to tiny O?! Love it!

What Jai Wore Wednesday

Ok, so my sister Yvette Is playing along with her friends in a game called "What I Wore Wednesday" where they blog a pic of their Wednesday outfit for a bit of fun. Seeing as I am perennially in either PJ's or trakkies these days I figured it wasn't THAT interesting if I played along, but I can play for Jaimeson! He has some pretty cool outfits!
So here is this week's "What Jai Wore Wednesday" (WJWW).
This outfit I like to call his "Measles suit" and I love that he's doing his best "Saturday Night Fever" impression too ;)

{you can tell by the way I use my walk I'm a woman's man} lol!!!

New Year's Resolution 2011- Recap!

Hi Y'all!
Do you remember I have a New Year's Resolution to reduce my Patterned Paper stash and scrap stash by 20%? And if I buy any papers throughout the year I have to add them to the target too? Well, I thought i would give you a re-cap as to how I am going, seeing as we are half way through the year already! Where has time flown to? {looking off into the distance with hand against forehead}
So using up my Patterned paper stash is going really well! I (shamefully) had over 500 papers at the beginning of the year and I have used up 10%, so for half way through the year that makes me right on target! Unfortunately it's not going as well for my scrap stash! I have only used 2.8% of my total stash, instead of the 10% I should have reached by now. EEEK! {hiding under the table in shame!} I really need to work on that one a bit more. I was pleased I managed to not even look at the papers at the Quilt show the other day! I really don't need any more in my stash!
I did make a bunch of cards yesterday which would have used a few more scraps! Maybe I should just go through them and throw some in the bin! I have a compulsion to keep even the smallest scrap thinking "I can stamp a sentiment on that!" I think I'm a hoarder!
And here is your Friday pic of our little man! It's from a long time ago, when he was still a tiny 3 week old Bub! Oh he is such a cutie! He was even too small for his 0000 clothes and used to wiggle a shoulder out!
:) C
Enjoy your weekend!!

6 Weeks Today!

Can you believe our little boy is 6 Weeks old today? How that time has flown!!! He has gone from a tiny baby to a big boy! Or so it seems. If I blink for too long he'll be walking when I open my eyes!!
He is a real joy, now that we have gotten used to each other more & now I have learnt a bit more about how to be his Mummy! He is such a smiley little guy, he really makes me giggle when he breaks out in a big wide smile & you can see how happy he is in the slant of his eyes! Oh so cute! He loves his Daddy very much & always smiles & plays with Daddy!
He has also discovered his voice this week! His favourite word is "A-Goo" and if you say it to him he smiles a big smile & then tries to say it back! It's a real conversation! Lol :) so sweet!
Happy 6 Week Birthday Little Man! We Love You!!

Quilt Show Booty

Hi Y'all!
Here is all the booty I got at the Darling Harbour Quilt Show with Mum (and Dad and Jaimeson) last Friday! I went with the idea of getting some boy-ish scrapping supplies for Jaimeson pages... can't you see all the blue stuff I ended up with? LOL! NOT! There was nothing much for boys at all! I ended up with the EK Success Gears and Robot border punch I didn't buy at the Craft Fest show in March and some blue misting spray and mistables paper ribbon, some fishing stamps (for cards for Willy) and that was about all the boy stuff I could find!
Its a very small booty compared to previous visits, but I think Mum and I did well, between me feeding Jaimeson, us eating lunch and having to get across the other side of the city for Dad's Medal Ceremony! Not bad! Plus, it means I will use up more of the stuff I already have in my stash too :) Which you know I need to do! There weren't as many scrapbooking stalls as previous years, but I still had lots of fun.
The fabric flowers I plan to put on headbands, we'll see how that goes!
:) C
And a pic of Jai for you too:
This one I like to call "Squishy Face!"
