What's that sound?

oh that's right it's called silence lol. Lukas has gone out for a Happy Meal with Ella and Mark is at work so I am taking advantage of the quiet to listen to an audiobook on my mobile phone and trying to think of things to write on here lol. The audiobook of choice today is one I have listened to before (Confessions Of A Shopperholic) but I fancied listening to it again. I have lots of audiobooks but to be completely honest I am not entirely sure where I have put them all I know they are on my computer somewhere but I am not exactly sure where lol. The major advantage of listening to audiobooks on my phone or my ipod is that I can use the computer with no loss of speed. I prefer the clunky old desktop over the laptop when no-one else is here it's just more comfortable to sit at my nice big desk with a proper keyboard and mouse lol. ACDSee is adding some more stuff to the catalog, and there are loads of things I am supposed to be doing before Mark comes home but I just don't feel like doing anything. Lisa just phoned and said that Lukas and Ella wanted to go and play at her house for a couple of hours so seems like I will have the peace and quiet for a little bit longer. I suppose while I am here I could show you the layouts I have done since I last blogged. I think there are 5 of them.

Journalling reads: It’s the little moments like this, that make me realise just how fast you are growing up. I don’t need to follow you around when we go out to places anymore. I get to sit back and watch as you have a blast playing. There’s nothing that makes me more proud, than watching you trying things you would have once been scared of. I trust that you know exactly where I am if you want me for anything and then just leave you to do whatever you want.

The 3rd one was created using Chrissy and Angie's new collab template set East Meets West, it's also for a font challenge at Elemental Scraps (Font Challenge 2).

Journalling reads: I took these photos while you were waiting to be picked up for Morgan’s Birthday Party. You were so excited especially since it was the first party you had ever been to all by yourself.

The 4th one was also created using Chrissy and Angie's new collab template set East Meets West, it's for another font challenge at Elemental Scraps (Font Challenge 3).

Journalling reads: I don’t have very many photos of you from when you were little, but this is one of my favourites. You were sat in your push along car, in your highchair insert (because you were so small) and it was obviously very comfortable because you fell fast asleep.

The 5th one was with Chrissy and Angie's new collab template set East Meets West as well, it's for yet another font challenge at Elemental Scraps (Font Challenge 4).
