DS 13 On the morning’s of family birthday’s after all the build up and eternal countdown’s we all awake and launch into rounds of singing and gifts even if our eyelids can barely remain half open! There I sit, camera in hand, taking pictures of the surprised and delighted faces of my young ones, in their pajamas!! 

This leaves the awful job of trying to scrap these pictures later. PJ’s and dressing gowns/robes in my house are an array of bright colours and patterns.  I remember thinking exactly the same at Christmas when I had fantastic pictures of Nicholas dressed up as ‘Sporticus’ wearing a pair of black and orange Halloween PJ’s underneath DOH!

So there I was stuck once again with pictures of Chelsea in April this year receiving her much coveted DS on her 13th birthday. Yes I know that I can use pictures taken later in the day but its not the same in my mind.

DS 13  Moving forward to the recent crop at Angel Crafts and a sketch challenge provided by Angela during the crop. Add to that my first proper look at some new Sassafrass papers, how mad and colourful they are. Among my folder of photographs to hand were these pictures of Chelsea in her PJ’s and gown and it was a recipe for a mad ‘in your face’ layout hahahah! I went a bit mad……..dontcha think you just have to some days? Good, bad or down right ugly, here it stands and what fun it was :D Thanks to Linda for the ‘Thickers’ just what I needed and lacked in my stash on the day.

Now what are the chances of getting kids dressed before gift opening in future? I think a BIG FAT ZERO!

Until later xx ….
