its been a while...

I have been so incredibly sick the last couple of weeks, firstly with the flu from hell and now a 4 day migraine...which is only starting to subside and has been absolutely debilitating! I have never slept so much in my life - I say slept, but its more like passing out.

Ages ago I bought tickets to see Wall-e and the kids were so excited about it. Eme had never been to the movies, but Seth kept assuring her "its just like the loungeroom, but with a big tv and lots of chairs and its dark!". True (lol). Anyway, I dragged myself out of bed and we all went along (mind you, I paid for it and spent the rest of the day in bed). The movie was great, even though I felt terrible and had to battle with Eme - apparently sitting in the aisle and asking to go to the toilet every 5 mins is a normal movie experience for an almost 3 year old. I highly recommend seeing it - it is a massive social commentary on how fat and lazy and wasteful our society has become. I think I'll watch it again when I feel better.
I also signed up for Got Sketch 102! The last class was so fantastic and I know this one will be just as good, if not better. Click on the pic below if you want to join in the fun. It only costs $25! Such a bargain - and you'll complete 8 layouts and receive loads of tips and learn new techniques. Val and Janna are super talented and I'm so happy to soak up their inspiration.
Here's the first layout I created for the pre-class sketch challenge. I've used my Scarlet Lime kit - don't you just love that SEI poppy paper!
Also, I found out the other day that I won the Aussie Scrapjack challenge for last month - woohoo! I was so happy with my layout, and I'm ecstatic that the AS girls thought so too.

For now though, I'm just going to take it easy and try to get better! Chat soon, Lis.
