Ooohhh!!Just check out what godmother Val did for the little critter!

A little birth announcement and a funny scrapblog...

Ah the sweet joys of motherhood...

Seeing daddy get sprayed and pooed at while changing nappies?

Priceless.

Look who finally arrived...

We are so thrilled to announce the arrival of our new bundle of joy!

After spending 41 weeks inside mummy, Nathan Joshua Challenger finally decided to join us on 20 Feb 2009 at 2121 hours weighing a healthy 3.725 kg and measuring 50cm in length.

Thank you for your lovely wishes and prayers and please forgive us if we take a while in responding to emails/messages/comments as we are still in the midst of adjusting to our little miracle baby. Will be back with more stories and pictures soon!

Still in the mood for love

How did you spend your Valentine's?

We have never been the couple to celebrate Valentine's, and even more so now that we are still eagerly awaiting the little one's arrival! (Which reminds me yes, I am now officially 3 days past my due date and the belly is stretched popiah-skin thin but no baby in sight yet! Oh boy. The water retention's a killer.) The hubster took out my favourite warm chocolate lava cake, added a scoop of chocolate ben and jerry's, topped it with delish strawberries and voila! He captured my heart all over again.

We spent the rest of the evening holding hands under the duvet on our loungy chairs and watching the story of why Jane Austen never got married and how Miss Beatrix Potter lost her fiance but found love again eventually. How romantic. And cheesy haha.

I've been trying to tidy up the workroom (I didn't get far - it's hard not to tinkle with beads when you're facing them!) while awaiting the little one's arrival so I was glad to locate more of these swarovski ring charms that I got in Japan! I've used lilac toned swarovski crystal charms with sunny yellow roses and faceted rose quartz briolettes for a soft shy look in Tara ~
