Wow, 3 1/2 months have gone by.....

since I blogged!  A lot has happened in that time - and I guess I just didn't want to talk about it.  Nothing all that bad, but I have been in a bit of a 'mood' for a while.

So Matt was made redundant from his job of 10 years on 20th June.  Then he worked from home for his own clients for nearly 3 months.  We realised that money is few and far between doing this...

And mid-July, I turned 40... that was a good time, not a bad thing.  I had a birthday dinner and P!nk with Matt, and an outing with 10 girlfriends (and one boy) to Kavons, where I had a cute stripper!  a lot of drinks, and a verrrryyy good time!

Matt started a job in Sydney 2 1/2 weeks ago - which means he is up at 5, and gets home at 7.40pm.  He spends about 6 hrs on the train every day.  It's been hard on us all - but I am noticing how tired Matt is and how much we are all missing him.

We also faced the challenge of having to move.  I HATE moving with a passion - I have moved too many times, and this time seemed a lot more daunting with two kids in tow, and lots and lots more possessions!  The house hunting etc is all behind us, and we move in approx two weeks to a big, 12 mth old two storey home at Charlestown, which is going to enable me to have a studio right as you walk in the front door, and a bit seperate from the rest of the house.  So we are about half packed!

I have also been scrapping still, and I have forgotten what I have and haven't shared since I last posted.  So i'm just going to upload some random layouts...  I am going to start packing my scrapping stuff in the next couple of days, after I finish off a couple of deadlines!

... and then I probably will not blog again for at least a month LOL.  But it's all good. Matt went for a job interview today for a job in Newcastle.  So they'll let him know at the end of the week.  Crossing fingers! 

Here are some layouts.

Good to see you blogging again Kell. I was only thinking about you today and wondered whether I must have accidently deleted your blog as I hadn't seen any new posts for a while. Hope life settles for you real soon - Hope Matt gets a job closer to home and that you settle quickly into your new home. Your layouts are just gorgeous. You have inspired me to go sit at my scrapbooking desk again.

Take care and have to say just love your latest LO's - beautiful.
