Dana & Al's big adventure begins today!!

Off to the airport we went this morning to see my lil' sis and her boyfriend leave for their big o/s adventure! Lots of laughs as we said our goodbyes. I can't believe they'll be gone for a whole year. We'll miss them heaps and so will the kids. The kids have grown very fond of their Aunty Dana & Uncle Al's visits! They'll make great parents one day!! (hint, hint!!!) NO ELOPING ALLOWED EITHER!!!!!

I made this cute little keepsake for them to take of the kids...

It was so easy to make. I used two acrylic frames, a scrap of Rose Moka PP, some alphas, rubons and a couple of cute pics of the kids. I must thank Mel for the idea though, as I had these pics and the frames lined up to complete one of her Christmas challenges, and never got to it. It was all sitting on my desk just waiting for this moment!! LOL! Thanks Mel :)

Happy 21st Birthday Dana!!

I can hardly believe my little sis is 21! Well, not officially until the 9th, but the big celebration was held on the weekend at our parents' place in Kingaroy! It was 80s theme, and almost everyone was dressed up, which made it heaps of fun!

I made a signature book and matching card for her using mostly Kaiser PP and lots of bling. I love this range.



Here are some pics of us all dressed up...



Al was Maverick from Top Gun & Aiden was Alvin from the Chipmunks...


Dad, Dana & Mum - during the speeches. The cassette tape cake was a hit and matched the fluro invitations!


Dana & her friends - watch that tail Courtney!


Dana & I - thought we'd prove that we didn't look alike at all. Everyone kept coming up to me all night to wish ME a happy 21st!! I was thrilled that I could pass for 21 though! LOL!!


Erin just loved her fluro pink mesh gloves!


Dana hamming it up for the camera with Mum & Dad


Aiden all dressed up as Alvin from the Chipmunks! I still remember Mum had their original record! I used to love listening to it on the old record player!


Firebug Aiden... he just loved sitting around the fire and toasting marshmellows with Daddy & Grandpa!


Alan & Dana... love Al's tracksuit and the rip-off velcro shoes!! Good job Al!


You might remember some of these famous characters from the 80s... my favourite were Alf & Gumby!


Overall, we had a fantastic night and Dana did too, judging by her hangover the next day!

We also managed to fit in a trip to the big Kingaroy show on the Sunday, complete with the traditional Dagwood Dog lunch, while watching the ring events...


and Aiden had his first go on the clowns... and surprise, surprise, he won a little prize. He was so excited...


After such a big weekend, we were happy to curl up on the couch and have a relax!
