(By the way this layout has nothing to do with Stampin' Up!, but all those words just looked a bit dull, and I am at work so my selection of creative things is limited.

Enjoy your day, in the cool I hope.

Scar

Just a quickie to update and let you know Emmy's scar is coming along. I was horrified when the bandaid come off. Just so red and dots where the stitches had been (8), but it seems to be less prominent as the days go by.
She is very happy to tell anyone who will listen -“i bump my head, on soap in the shower, it was an accident”, she is a cutie.
I am off to a 40th tomorrow night, which i am very excited about. A night out, no kids, woo hoo. I have a new top, and my hair cut and coloured today, so it will be fun.
Here is an old layout of another of Emmy's bangs. She is quite accident prone this one.
Ok night.

I had some me time

After a lovely time at Katrina and John's for a BBQ last night, I got a chance to pop off to my local scrap shop and have some time to myself. It was nice, as things are a bit tense at home ATM, and alhtough it is being sorted out, I was still feeling a bit down, with my weekend last weekend spent at the hospital and all, so to do something for me, that I enjoy was awesome. I got 5 layouts done in about 5 hours, gosh, that is a good effort. LOL. They are by no means award winning, but that is never my aim. My faves are me at 39, and xmas cheer. Thanks for looking. Have a great week.

Update

As promised, here are are some shots from Apollo Bay. Like always it was a slow paced holiday. We share the house with Mark's parents, his sister and her husband and 3 kids. So it is great to spend quality time with family and i really enjoy it, but 3 families in 1 house is also trying. During the trip Mark and I enjoyed a yummy Thai dinner out with Alison and Chris, who live there. Most days generally involved a walk down the shops/pier etc, to the beach and evenings playing temptation (I was terrible, possibly too much wine, hehe). I also got a couple of layouts done whilst Emmy had her day sleep, will share soon.

Thanks to everyone who asked after Emmy and sent your best wishes after her recent injury, much appreciated. A special thank you to my sissy for all of her help and support, as always, LUV Ya hehe. Emmy is doing well, and we have her follow up appointment on Monday, will keep you posted.

Cheers

Ghastly day!!

Well it started really well. Kim and I took the dogs for a lovely walk and then I gave Taffy (the dog a wash). Kim and I were then going to go for a quick shop to get photos printed and get some papers so we could go scrapping tonight. That all came to a grinding halt when Emmy joined me in the shower. In a nut shell I got out to get dressed, she was still in washing herself with the pump soap. Next I hear her yell "finished", as I yell back "hang on, mumma help" I hear an almighty crash. She had slipped on all the bloody soap whilst trying to push open the big glass shower door. I rushed to her and checked and saw blood and thought she had split her lip, then as i grabbed her i noticed this huge gapping hole in her head. There was blood everywhere. As i scooped her up in the towel, she was screaming of course, I noticed the blood all over her face, in her hair, you get the picture. I rushed her downstairs yelling call an ambulance, no idea where anyone was. I laid her down grabbed some gauze from the first aid kit and held it to her wound. I wanted it fixed, and it was wide, and so i told Mark to call the ambulance, wasn't sure she would be settled in her car seat anyway. Anyway we ended up at Monash, and they decided because of the location it would be better done by plastics, so we had to then go to Dandenong Hospital, where plastics is based. They then couldn't get theatre time, and so wanted us to stay the night, so she could be done first thing in the morning. We ended up with overnight leave thank god, otherwise I would be going spare. have to go back by 7 am tomorrow for them to sew her up. They assured me that it would not make any difference to her healing. There is a chance she may have severed some nerve, but they won't know until she is older and can say it feels numb. She has been sooo brave. Hasn't cried since we went to hospital. She is pretty happy with her new Upsey Daisy talking doll she got as a treat. Now I know it is nothing serious and there could be alot worse things to happen. But for today it was our little drama / mini crisis.

So brave!

Helloo

and that's it for now.

Back real soon for an update on our trip to Apollo Bay, in the meantime here is the card i made for my sister's birthday. I loved it, altho I knew she wouldn't like the colours (and I was right)!!
