Much to Dean’s horror I have been getting right into the Ephemera lately. I just love it! I am working on a collection of trade cards at the moment from the early 1900’s. I did a little digital restoration on one of the cards that was quite severely damaged. I still wanted it to look old and worn, but not too damaged. I was a bit excited at how it turned out so I thought I would share.
Well it is official! We have signed a contract on a new block of land and paid a deposit. Has taken quite a while thanks to difficulties communicating with the seller due to them being out of town but thank goodness we now have it all signed and sealed. YAY! The kids LOVE the block because it is so big and love to run around it the few times we have been there. It is over an acre or for our dutch relatives it is over 4500 m2.
I meant to take a photo of it last weekend but forgot to take the camera, so the photo from the listing will have to do for now. he photo below is mostly of the block next to us, ours is the bit behind the fence.
Here is the map of it (lot 54). Adrian & Rachael’s block is on there too. Theirs is three blocks up from ours.
Jasmine has been getting very sad lately because she has not been getting any mail.. can you tell by the woeful expression on her face on the photo?? Too funny!
We get mail most days as you do, usually bills and junk, but sometimes parcels as well since I often buy stuff for the family on ebay or online stores. (much easier than dragging the kids out shopping) Anyway, despite the fact that I get stuff for her as well… she seems to have conveniently forgotten the Shortcake Stickers for her new bedroom walls… she is always dissappointed when there is no mail for her. Today she tells me it is always mail for me… well I guess since I am the one that pays the bills it usually is! Anyway, I told her to look sad for a photo because she wasn’t getting any mail and this was the result! ROFL!
So to those friends and family who have the time to do so, please put the poor girl out of her misery! The poor thing has been soo neglected!
Kyan soo looks up to his big sister, he loves to copy everything she does. Yesterday Jaz was playing with her shopping trolly so he got out his walker and copied her with it. He loves to try and dance the same way she does, and basically anything she does he likes to do too.
The other day she was doing some drawing and he decided he wanted to do some too. We normally keep him well away from the felt pens as he likes to draw on walls, cupboards, you name it.. it is a real challenge keeping that stuff away from him when little Miss 4 needs constant reminding to put them away and keep them out of his reach. Anyway, I thought I would share a pic of the two of them drawing together. I thought it was cute.
Would you like to recieve updates of posts to my blog?
This is Jasmine’s wish list!
From time to time she mentions things she would like to have, so I thought it worthwhile to add them to this list, in case friends and family would like to purchase something as a gift for her birthday or Christmas.
Who am I? I am Robyn (aka clikchic). I have a wonderful hubby and two darling children. I am a stay at home mum, digiscrapping website owner, accounts manager for our upholstery business and the list goes on! LOL
I am a hobbyist photographer and digiscrapping addict. I love doing layouts, designing kits and pretty much anything to do with photography and digital scrapbooking. I use Photoshop for my designs and LOVE it! It is so versatile and I am constantly learning new things on it.
My puta and camera are my two most prized material possessions. I have a Canon EOS (Rebel) 300D and hopefully would like to get a higher model, but for now it will have to do me. 
I am itching to get a laptop so I can access my website etc away from home.. will have to save my pennies!
Most of my posts will be about digital scrapbooking and our children. I have a lot of family in Europe so this is a great way to keep them up to date on happenings in our household.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope to see you round here again soon!
