Day 5 - and new stuff

The holidays were too long - so long, in fact, that I got used to sleeping in, and so did the girls. This morning, therefore, was NOT easy LOL. I had to wake both of them, and my younger one, who has most mornings of her short life woken up before 6 am, turned on her other side and said - "No, I'm on Christmas vacation" when I tried to wake her up at 7:30. We did get up, finally, and she was off to Kindergarten and I off to work, while my 6 year old got to stay home for one more day.

So today was a challenge for everyone, everyone had to get up early, everyone was tired and miserable and when I got home from work, the house was a mess and the girls fighting. And my little one had a little fight with one of the boys at Kindergarten and has this to show for it...

This photo pretty much sums up the day - thus my photo for day 5 :) - a tired, cranky little baby - with a bloody scratch!

On to the new stuff...
Dawn Inskip has a gorgeous new kit out today. It's called Truly Scrumptious - and it truly is!!My 6 year old went slightly nuts when she saw all the pink and the fairies and asked me to scrap her birthday photos with it. Which I of course did LOL She turned 6 on December 4 and I still haven't scrapped the photos from her day...but here is one layout, using Dawn's - delicious new kit...Isn't she just the cutest ;)

Vera Lim also has new stuff out today. She has a pack of overlays called Overlays Worded...

I love Vera's overlays - and here's a layout I made using it

One of the good things about this 365 photos thing, is that I already have TONS of photos to scrap from 2009 LOL This photo was taken yesterday on our rainy walk. No matter how much I dislike the rain, my daughters LOVE talking these walks, getting wet and jumping in puddles. You don't really need much when you're 2 and 6 :)

I have another Vera layout today, since it's the first day of Vera's blog challenge. The challenge is all about change - and going outside your comfort zone when you scrap. There is a freebie template by MiYon (Scarletheels Designs)...

The challenge for me was to use a template to begin with - I hardly ever use templates and have a very hard time doing so. They either end up looking nothing at all like the template, or they are exactly like it, and therefore very boring LOL
These are my girls, by the way, on Boxing Day. We went to a Christening in Reykjavik and I got a few good photos of them outside the church afterwards...

That's it for today - thank you so much for stopping by :) And of course everything is linked - just in case I enabled anyone LOL
