Scavenger Hunt Sunday!

Sunday already!

1. Long Exposure

So I had to go to the archives for this one. I did have a plan but the weather has been yuck and Charlotte has had matching behaviour, lol so you get to see this again :)

I used a long exposure to give the water that smooth silky look.

2. Shapes

William's In The Night Garden shape sorter from above.

3. Green

William in a green shirt peeking over a green hedge. He was watching model trains. He luffs trains :) And I love the look on his face :)

 

4. Fruit

 Some juicy orange wedges!

5. Childhood Memory

I had no idea what I was going to do for this prompt, then I remembered this photo of me when I was little standing in a giant pair of clogs. I'd just taken the photo on the right of Charlotte on our recent family holiday so thought I'd put them together :) 

If your wondering why the quality of the picture of me is so appalling its because it's a photo of a photo thats inside an album. Lazy, I know =D I tried to make the one of Charlotte match it, lol

Scavenger Hunt Sunday!

It's been a while since I had time to join in the scavenger hunt! We've been away on holidays all week and I wasn't sure I'd make it but here I am, yay!

I have HEAPS of photos to share from our trip (just under 1800 in 5 days lol) but for now here are my hunt items :

1. My Passion

Besides my family, my passion has always been photography, for as long as I can remember but only in the last 12 months have I had the money to buy some decent lenses and learn how to use everything properly! I'm proud of myself for taking the time to learn and am really excited about where its heading :)

2. Sound of Music

Haha so I took this one quite literally :D The Sound of Music is my most favouritest movie ever and ever and ever :) I know all the words and have a little bit of a collection going :D

This prompt actually couldn't have come at a better time because my Sound of Music collector barbie arrived today that I found on Ebay hehe (yes, I'm a dork) Also at this very moment my Mum and Dad are on their way to Austria to do the whole Sound of Music experience, so jealous!!! They're going to all the places from the movie and they better bring me back lots of souvenirs!! They've already been to London, Amsterdam (my Grandma is Dutch) and Prague and after Austria are heading to Paris, lucky ducks!

3. Inner Beauty

A plain rock on the outside, pretty sparkly crystals on the inside :)

4. Ethereal

I think this photo of Charlotte has a bit of an ethereal look to it :) It's from our muddy puddle shoot which  promise I'll get around to sharing very soon!!

 

5. Sharp

Ok I had to steal this one from the archives, lol but it's only from a couple of weeks ago! Pencils, nice and sharp and fresh in their box :)

So there are my items for the week, I hope you're joining the hunt too!

Happy Mother's Day!!

Happy Mother's Day for Sunday!

I think this year was my bestest Mother's Day yet :)

Charlotte is in Preschool this year so I got my first handmade preschool gift!

They drew a picture on a card (it's Charlotte and I going for a walk..she's never had much patience for drawing or colouring in, lol, she's an outdoor girl!) and it was laminated with a little Mother's day verse:

Then on the back it said "What I love best about my Mum is...." and they had to tell the teacher what to

write: 

Yep. What my 4 year old loves the best about me is that I let her get fish and chips for lunch!! hehehe I think the last time we had fish and chips was about a month ago when she wasn't feeling well and wanted hot chippies :) 

I also got some beautiful blue sparkly tea light candles to go with my card that she picked out herself :) She was at the shops with my Mum and she saw them and said "Oh Mummy would really really love these Grandma!" 

Isn't she the sweetest? :)

I've already used two of them in my oil burner :)

The glittery one is our favourite :)

(I'll be in trouble if I don't mention that my hubby also got my two very expensive tickets to see Mary Poppins at the Capitol theatre in July too!! I'm super excited about it and I didn't even have to hint that I wanted them! But the candles and card are just too sweet, don't you think?)

 

Has Blogger been playing up for anyone else? I couldn't post for 24 hours, it seemed to mainly be Australia and new Zealand that were affected....it's only just come back on now but my first post froze up so I had to start over in a new window..... :/

Sweet Baby Curls

I finally got a shot of William's little baby curls, yay! He's going to need his first hair cut soon and I'm scared they won't grow back, so I needed a photo of them just in case :)

Linking up with Simplicity for the 'sweet' challenge and 'Sweet Shot Tuesday' because aren't these curls just so sweet? :)

    


   

Handsome Little Man

 We spent the day up at Swansea for my sister in laws birthday and had lots of fun lounging in the water, building sandcastles, snorkelling and kayaking and I want to share some pics of my little man who is growing up too fast! 

Here he is getting his little toes wet :) He was quite happy playing in the shallow water here!

And here he is having a play in one of the kayak's :)

Even though it looks overcast I can assure you it was stinking hot! And I *possibly* might have a very burnt face and look a bit like a clown :/ I forgot to put cream on my face, lol.
And I didn't get my Scavenger Hunt finished AGAIN this week :( But in my defence we're packing up to move house next Monday, lol so I might miss a few challenges over the next couple of weeks :(But yay we're finally moving!!
