I Heart them AND there was no Camping trip.... :(

Well, the boys didn't go camping. They were going with a friend and his son who couldn't make it and the weather was looking ominous so they stayed home.....Another time....(and I will try and help them be organised)

So instead we had a very lazy Saturday at home.  Love those days.  Miss E did not even get out of her pjs for the day.
And Sunday we went for a drive to an old homestead and I captured some fabulous shots.  My kids are not the most co-operative and trying to get lighting, camera buttons and placement together as quick as I can doesn't help.
And, I was not expecting such a fabulous backdrop so the kids were dressed as mix match as could be....now I will plan to head back another day and capture some more shots which I can use in colour too.

I did manage to take our Feb Family Photo which was this:

I have a canvas coupon and have been trying to capture the right shot so I think one of these might be good.
 

And everyone was being very impatient and I could not set the shot up how I imagined so I might have to give it another go.  It also didn't help that a rabbit ran out in front of us and then we spotted 3 kangaroos about 100 metres away.
 
And one more.


Now getting onto a scrappy share.

Bird Is The Word has a new challenge word: HEART

I created a page on my scrappy weekend the other week using a heart shape as my word which I made out of wire again (a bit addicted to the stuff).  And I wanted to keep it pretty simple and made some yummy hearts by adding texture paste to a chippy heart, using it is as a stamp and then using eye shadow to colour them.  I then had the textured hearts left over which I am using on other pages.
 
 

I have tried to photograph white pages in every room of the house, at different times of the day and they always end up a shade darker on one side so sorry about the quality.  If you have the trick for photographing white pages, please share....

Ok, bored you enough so better go.  Thanks for having a peep.
