Feeling Better Now....

Thank God I'm pretty much over the flu now.... still waking up in the mornings feeling ick, but it goes away after I've get up and have something to eat. The good news that I've been busy doing things around the place.... I've even done some baking! Now anyone that knows me knows that I generally don't cook - Noel usually cooks dinner so I'm just left with the cleaning up. But now that I'm not working, I've been doing the majority of the food prep around the house. In the last week I've even made some chocolate slice (an old fave) and some choc hazelnut biccies....

Unfortunately the recipe didn't make a lot, and I'm not sure if I can make any more for a while.... let's just say that over Christmas when I was using my food processor, it may or may not have been overheating and having a bit of smoke coming from it. Well, I thought it might get better after a bit of a rest..... when I was using it yesterday, it may or may not have had some smoke coming from it again. I think it's time for me to get a new one......

I also got around to cleaning up my scrap room while I was recovering - it was so messy, it completely tired me out and I had to have a nap afterwards...LOL. So I've been in there a bit in the last couple of days... haven't really accomplished all that much, but I have been working on some kids classes for Embellished and finishing off a layout that I started about 2 months ago.

On the first layout, I used dabbers to create the background - they work amazingly on stamps as they seem to have a bit of a thicker consistency than regular paint.

Oh, we also had a bit of a development on the baby front - for a few weeks now I've been feeling it moving around and kicking but it hasn't been strong enough for Noel to feel. The other night, bubs was particularly active so I kept grabbing Noel's hand and sticking it on my stomach to see if he could feel it, but no luck. So I told him to rest his head on my tummy to see if he could feel it that way - as soon as he did, he got kicked in the head! I think Noel got a bit of a surprise - it was so funny to see his face! Hopefully now Noel will be able to feel the kicking more... although maybe not with his head... LOL.
