Birthday Week

Today it was my little boys 4th Birthday. We've been celebrating it since last Wednesday when we went to Paultons Park - it was a 'Hoot! Hoot!' lol On Friday it was his last day of school so that was pretty manic. Yesterday he had a party with his friends at Farmer Palmers and today we've had a family BBQ. It doesn't stop there either as it's my Big boys Birthday on Tues so more celebrations! I'm pretty much pooped after the last two days - this party lark is flippin hard work - but I did manage to take a few photo's whilst keeping everyone fed and watered today. Jake kindly let his Daddy share his birthday cake but he wasn't impressed when we also sang happy birthday to his Dad.

I've not done much scrapping lately (boo hoo!) but I did do a card a little while ago which is Project of the Week over on the DoCrafts Website. There was a few comments on there about my instructions not being that good and hands up, I'm not the best at it I do admit. However the acetate I used is already printed and it's from the Sweet Nothings Range - all very cute and girlie. I'm not sure of the thickness of it but at a guess I would reckon 50microns. Standard 25 would be just as good for one of these cards though. The glue I used was simply a dry adhesive. Double sided would do but it must be a dry one as a wet one would be like a slipper fish on that acetate. The idea though is to layer up the card covering any glue with a different layer. Finger prints can be a problem but I make sure my hands are clean before touching and I try to minimise the handling of the card as much as possible. I expect there is some clever person out there that would know how to avoid paw prints, I just haven't got round to looking it up. ;)

That's it for now - I need to hit the sack. Yaaaaawn.... night, night.
