No kraft!

I thought I'd switch it up a bit this week and resist my current urge to use kraft cardstock as a base for my layouts. White - very adventurous!

Becca chose to dress up as the Little White Rabbit from her favourite book "The Terrible Plop" by Ursula Dubosarsky for Bookweek this year. We made chocolate muffins because the rabbits munch on chocolate cake in the story (it was a good excuse!) This book is also a favourite of mine, I love reading it to the kids because the rhythm is so fun and the illustrations are gorgeous. I initially picked it up because I was attracted by the cover. I must confess that as a child I always picked a book by its cover, and even though I know you shouldn't, I have never outgrown doing so. I was so pleased to see this book shortlisted this year, it's really sweet!

This one uses a couple of photos taken when Lizzy was 2 weeks old by Creative Image Photography. When Lizzy was born I was determined that I would really enjoy her as a baby rather than wishing away the seemingly never-ending sleepless nights. It took me until my third baby to realise how quickly the newborn phase passes and how precious every little moment is. And I really have enjoyed her. The nerves were gone and I felt very relaxed and confident with her. She is such a little sweetie. Journaling reads "Having a newborn in the house is such an amazingly enjoyable time. She is the sweetest little darling. This time I am so conscious of how quickly time passes and how fleeting this newborn phase is. I'm making sure I enjoy and appreciate it all. I'm holding tight to every little moment"

I tried my hand at making the little flower by singeing the edges of fabric circles. It turned out kind of cute I think!

Hope you've had a good week!
