Time To Show Some More Scrapbooking

Ziggy: Shrek & Soccer Super Star

Isn't Ziggy just the cutest?! I saw these Shrek ears at Kmart the other day and couldn't resist buying them because I knew how cute Ziggy would look in them! That was definitely $3 well spent.

Ziggy is really into soccer at the moment. He loves us to kick the soccer ball for him to chase. But when he gets the ball he doesn't want to give it up!

Bible Verse of the Week

"The unfading beauty of a quiet and gentle spirit is of great worth in God's sight."
~ 1 Peter 3:4

Mike Browne told me this bible verse. I love it because I really hate how quiet I am, how I struggle to say things and contribute to conversations. It makes me feel worthless and embarrassed. But this verse reminds me that I am still important to God no matter how quiet I am and that my quiet nature could actually be a blessing.

Called In

Don't you just love getting called in to work?! Actually it wasn't too bad. I really enjoyed work today. I didn't mind getting called in after my plans with Melinda fell through. There was such a relaxed atmosphere at work today and the time went so fast, so that was good. And it was good to see Denise and Mike and Michele before they all went away on leave so that I could wish them a good holiday, seeing as I forgot to say it to them yesterday.

I Got Spoiled!

I got lots of pressies after my baptism. I wasn't expecting anything at all, so I was very surprised. It started with Mike Browne giving me a card with a lovely message in it. Then when I got back to the scrapping day I was bombarded with gifts. Amanda scrapped a frame for me, which is really beautiful. She also gave me a little bible verse card. Lou gave me a gorgeous card that she made. Cass made me a beautiful notebook. I had never met her, so I was especially shocked that she had made me something. It was great to meet her, she is a lovely person. And Cathy made me such a gorgeous little book. I've only posted two views of it. It looks good in these photos but it looks even more amazing in person. And when I got home mum and dad gave me a new bible. I felt very spoiled, I wasn't expecting anything at all. Thankyou everyone for your support and for my lovely cards and gifts. Thankyou so much.

Baptism

I got baptised yesterday. It was in the middle of the scrapping with soul day. About half the people at the scrapping day left to attend the baptism. It was me and 4 others who got baptised down at the Shoalhaven river. There were so many people there. I didn't expect that many people. I had my own little support club and I really appreciate them all being there for me. It was so nice to have them all there. I'm glad that I finally got baptised because it is something I have wanted to do for ages and I finally had the guts to approach the pastor and tell him.

Scrapping With Soul

Here are the layouts I completed. Kaycee and Charlee

Jhorjie
Simone & Dominic
Gail and Jeneen
Mum, Dad and I at my year 12 formal
Nan at her 70th birthday.

I didn't end up getting any canvases done. In fact I didn't get at much done as I thought I would. But I guess I was away for 2 hours during the day, and then you need to take into consideration eating time, toilet breaks and shopping time. Anyway I really enjoyed the day. It was great fun.

Big Day Tomorrow

I have a very exciting day tomorrow. 10 hour scrapping with soul day at the church which is always fun. I've got so many projects planned. Lots of layouts and I'm even branching out and doing a couple of canvases. And I'm getting baptised at 3:30 down by the river (in the middle of the scrap day) so I'm very excited about that too. I was so excited on the drive home from work and I was planning what I was going to say, and I totally forgot to pick my mum up at Wooleys. I walked in the door and dad said where's mum? Whoops! Sorry mum!

Day In Berry

Had a lovely day off today. It didn't start out too exciting as I had a doctor's appointment. Like I have nothing better to do but be at work on my day off! Anyway after that I went to town and stocked up on scrapping supplies for our scrapping with soul day on Saturday. Then I went to Berry with Melinda and her mum. That was a lot of fun. We had lunch then looked around the shops. I didn't buy much, which is a good thing! Our favourite shop was the lolly shop!

Ziggy had a good day too. Dad went to the pub with Pete, so Pete brought his dogs out to our place so that they could have a play with Ziggy while Dad and Pete were at the pub. I'm sure Ziggy loved seeing Hamish again, and was probably thrilled to meet Lily and Leah as well.

No Holidays For Doctors

I think doctors shouldn't be allowed to have holidays. Na, I'm only joking. Of course they deserve holidays. It's just that work has been so stressful over the last couple of months because we have constantly had doctors away. So we're getting all these phone calls but there is no room to fit all the patients in. It's really hard and we're all struggling. I don't know about everyone else but I am majorly stressed. I dread answering the phone at the moment. I can't wait for a few weeks time when they will all be back and then hopefully things will return to normal.

Happy Father's Day Dad

You're the best. Hope you have a great day.
Love Haylee
