Red Nose Me

 

I am late with the Red Nose this year ( it was on Friday I must remember that it is held on the last Friday in June)  as being sick means not getting out and about but I was told about this "Free"phone app that is being used to raise awareness for Red Nose Day and it is for all year round so even people who are late or have forgotten the date can still participate.....

The best part is it is free!!!.It is called Red Nose Me.....

Apart from raising awareness for Red Nose Day this app is fun and is for all the family.

Just download the app....

Pick your nose (sounds gross) there are  a lot of different "noses" so to speak.....

Line your face up to the "NOSE"  and click take your picture. It will then go onto the online gallery and  you can share your picture with face book ,twitter etc...

When had  fun choosing our noses and laughing at how we looked... and we all did it with varying results.....

My handsome husband.....poor thing he didn't know what I was going on about as I just told him to "smile and take his photo"

OMG I don't know if I am a bunny or a mouse .LM said I was a rat !!! thanks mate....and yes I should have brushed my hair.....oh and check out the wrinkles OH Crap just shut up Dee.....

LM said he was a bunny....How come he can be a bunny while I am a rat ??? it  doesn't sound fair does it...I think he is a little rat he he he

Ground control to Major Kev ......Kev looks good even in a space suit....

So what do you have to lose.....it's free ,it's fun and it may teach your kids something.... Also you can make a donation on this site if you choose to do so.Plus another reason why you should do this is.....

Here is a few facts about Red Nose Day...

Red Nose Day, held annually on the last Friday in June, is the major fundraiser for SIDS and Kids. Funds raised through Red Nose Day activities assist SIDS and Kids in providing vital services and programs to the Australian community.

SIDS and Kids is dedicated to saving the lives of babies and children during pregnancy, birth, infancy and childhood and to supporting bereaved families.

SIDS and Kids offer nation-wide free bereavement services to families who have experienced the death of a baby or child during pregnancy, birth, infancy and childhood regardless of the cause.
Each year SIDS and Kids fields thousands of queries through a bereavement support line. Ongoing professional support for families is available 24 hours a day through counselling sessions, after hours counselling, home visits and a range of support groups and events. SIDS and Kids programs are offered free of charge to all family members and friends who need support. For as long as they need them, SIDS and Kids are there!
Since 1990, education initiatives such as the SIDS and Kids Safe Sleeping Program have saved the lives of an estimated 7,500 Australian babies. Working with health care professionals, childcare organisations and online support networks, new parents have benefited from the SIDS and Kids Safe Sleeping recommendations.

All of the above information I got from http://www.rednoseday.com.au/

gee I couldn't have wrote all that by myself ha ha ha  

As the Nana of a newborn Grandson I proudly support Red Nose Day.Thank you for all that you do.I know Kerry has taken note of quite a few of their recommendations (big word Dee ah ha ha ).

Photo fun 2

Recently I did a post on the phone apps I use here well I have just found another and I had to show you all..

It's called "A beautiful Mess" and is a photo editing app.   It can add words of your choice,or  you can choose one of their phrases,there is also frames and doodles to add to your pictures.

This is another very easy app to use.....And here is a couple of pictures that the LM did to try it out on....

Cost is 99 cents for the basic app but if you want extra fonts or extra anything it another 99 cents per extra.
I think this is a bit too much and I didn't realise this till after I bought the main app.If I had know I don't know if I would have gone ahead with it because all the items I wanted wernt in the main app but were extras....

Not that the basic app has anything wrong with it and I will use them but I wanted the others.

So try it out it is quite fun.

Mixed up Friday photos 6

 

Not too many pictures today (thank goodness you say ) ha ha Well there is a few but I couldn't tell you that as you might go away ha ha

                                  Love this photo Kerry Emmanuel Jaxon and the  LM...

                                       Jaxon is growing so fast .....he is such a cutie....

Our poor pool is filled to the brink what with all the rain we have had this week. Eek! don't look at the weeds in the garden though....

I love this I think it will be a new favourite with me.....Jaxon kept looking at the LM he was fascinated by him....

                                                Nahhh...I love this one better.My two boys...

 

Pic monkey has some new bits so I had a play around with this one.I have some good ideas to use with this technique....

                                                                      Beautiful family.............

 

A big congratulations to my dear friend Gillian Lester.She has just been chosen for the Kaiser craft design team 2013-2014.....For those who don't know Gill she is a wonderful and talented scrapbooker.  I was really lucky as She made me a gorgeous album for my 50th Birthday which I will show you all later.

Congratulations Gill.....

 

Princess Chloe my niece gee she is growing up fast .....

 

                                                    Darling Annaliese....she is so beautiful....

 

My nephew Tyler and his sister Makayla aren't they the cutest....

Kerry sent me this...This is the Mickey that LM made for Jaxon.The look on his face is priceless as if he is thinking "who are you in my bed?"

 

The love of Nana's life....

Now I have told you before that the LM is a nutcase well this proves it.He dressed himself the other day when he was going out.....I told him he had the shirt  on back wards but he didn't care cause he said "he wanted to wear a plain red shirt" I let him go but made him wear a jacket over it and prayed he didn't take it off....

Hope you enjoyed my photos it is great sharing my life with friends.

Have a great weekend....

Easy peasy bunting

I needed to make some bunting for a project I am doing but as I have no patience I needed it to be real easy or to be exact it needed to be "easy peasy" (yes I know I sound childish ) so I came up with this....

So there you have it ....this one took me about 15mins as I was taking photos at the same time as making it and I only needed a small piece of bunting but it is super easy to make and you could use any number of colours or make it whatever size you want.

I am using this on a scrap book layout but the possibilities to what to use it for is endless..

Come on have a go......
love

    Today I am sharing at  Wow us Wednesdays   and  also at Ivy and Elephants    so come have a look ...

State of Origin...

Tonight is the second game for this series of State of Origin football.......

Whoop whoop....

I can hear 100's if not 1000's of women saying that about 7.30pm and yes I am one of them.

Although I don't particularly enjoy football I do make sure I know enough about it so I can have a conversation with Kevin about it or if he talks about it I know what he is saying. I think it is very important in a relationship to know or follow or just show an interest in your partners hobbies and interests.

Kevin just happens to love football and soccer and then any other sport that happens.Aren't I lucky...But just think of poor Kev he has to endure shopping crafts and markets poor Kev anyway back to State of Origin...

For those of you who don't know State of Origin is a football game between Queensland and New South Wales or otherwise known as Cockroaches and the Cane toads...

Sounds terrible doesn't it...

So far Qld is the overall winner in the series gone.Last game NSW won .So tonight Kevin is hoping they can do it again.Me I will just watch TV in another room...the LM goes between the two of us...

Anyway the reason for this post is I came across this picture of the LM when he was little dressed in the NSW jacket and the QLD jacket that his Uncle Ross and Auntie Debra sent him...

It was so cute I just wanted to share it with you....

                                                                Doesn't he look so cute....shame they have to grow up.LM was like a little doll dressing him up, and he has always loved the camera.

I also found this one.It was taken at the LM's first football game.Here he is wearing the Rabbitohs colours...

Yeah Go Bunnies....

And my darling Kevin is wearing the Bulldogs colours.....

Boo Doggies...

Regardless of the different colours they are wearing they both look beautiful and this is one of my all time favourite photos of the two of them....

So whether you are watching State of Origin tonight or watching a movie in another room I hope you have a great night....

And I do hope NSW wins ...well you do have to cheer your own state on ...Go NSW....

My Little Man...

The LM is so funny at times and sometimes I just can't stop smiling at his antics and at other times I strangle him ...

 While at soccer it  was no exception...he was trying to hang upside on a fence he tried and tried and tried and finally got it .You should have seen him -he was soooo cute just hanging there with this big grin on his face....love him heaps.....see persistence does pay...

Oh and while at soccer that day he made both Kev and I very proud ....he really tried hard at playing the game and he must have impressed his coach because my little boy got PLAYER OF  THE WEEK...he was so proud and when I took the photo he sent it to everyone...Good boy mate..

We have been having trouble with him at school but that seems to have settled down (thank God for that...) Well last week at assembly he got an award for good manners.

Talk about being proud -Me I am talking about not LM oh he was pleased and was grinning from ear to ear but me -my head for so swelled and yes I was grinning from ear to ear.

I may use naughty words sometimes (ok more than sometimes but I am trying to cut down) but manners mean a lot to us we both believe in kids having manners so for LM to get an award for this was great.

I wasn't at the assembly but my friend Michelle was and she took the photos on her phone  so although they aren't the best they show LM getting his award and I will treasure it...

LM when you are old enough to read this remember how much I love you always..xx
