ScrapAwhile Cyber Challenge

Wow, off with a bang!
How cool is this, we had heaps on for our cyber challenge Thursday night!
Kylie's Bingo was great! There were about four or five of us hanging on for one word.
Congratulations to Amanda for winning!
First challenge off the ranks was my colour challenge - so you had to use orange, teal/blue, and pink (sounds yuck - but looks good) and to use a large frame circle/any other shape, and being me some flowers! here is my example

Then there was Kylie's Sketch challenge, what a great sketch. Here is my take on it!



Kim had her blind challenge as well, so am off to finish that. Stay tuned for Amandas Card challenge as well.

Nanny & Great Nanny Cuddles

Well after 4 months and 1 week this Nanny finally got to cuddle my little bundle of sweetness, Bailey Adam Robert Lyons. He is wonderful, improving everyday, and growing like anything.
He is nearly 3.6kilos, a slight improvement over his 700g of birth weight.!!!
And his Great Nanny got to have cuddles as well! It was absolutely wonderful!

What a blast, we had the best time ever. Its great seeing everyone again. The "Chicks from the Sticks" Deb & Karen! Lots of wonderful layouts done over the weekend, lots of talking and catching up, and going through everyones stash!
We had some hi jinx, dont know who it was , but they kidnapped some snakes and held them for ransome!!
I see Deb, Karen, Ginny, Jodie, and Virginia and Christine, way in the background.
This SWIG's theme was the Mad Hatters Tea Party, so we had to make some hats,
