Trip to Eungella

One good thing about holidays is there is lots of time to do all those things there is usually no time for.
On Sunday, we went for a drive up the range to Eungella. It was great to get there, on the drive Mark and I worked out that the last time we were there was when I was in the early stage of being pregnant with Connor (I remembered feeling like death with morning sickness whilst driving up the range LOL!) So THAT would have been over 5 years ago - Eeeeeep! Time sure does fly by, doesn't it!
Anyways, it was a lovely day, we had a picnic, then went for a walk through the rainforest, and went to the river to try to see some platypuses, of course, we were too early in the day to see them, but Connor was a bit disappointed that the platypuses were asleep in their burrows - we'll have to go up there for a weekend to try and see them.
Only one small incident - I managed to pick up a hitch hiker for the trip home - I found a tick on my neck just after we got home! Ugggggh!!! Would have to happen to me, hay? Of course, I then got totally paranoid and stripped Connor down to make sure he didn't have any on him!! Thankfully he didn't

Here are some pics:


Connor in front of a gorgeous old curtain fig - don't you just love the root system??

Here is my entry into Addicted to Craft's 12 Weeks of Christmas. I am just a little bit excited - hehe - I just found out I won!! This is my entry!!
We were required to use Piggy Tale paper, and create a layout depicting our boy's wish list for Santa.
I used the Billy Goat Gruff range, which I got from Scrapbooking Stock.
Here is a close up of the Christmas tree I made. I tore and paper rolled the paper strips, and used brads as Christmas lights.


Thanks for looking!!!
