Things have been crazy busy for me of late, I could not even begin to tell you all the things that have been going on in my life, personal and professional! But it has kept me away from blogging which I normally love to do. It gives me a chance to rant and rave about anything that tickles my fancy at the time.

So, super quick update on me.... as some of you may know I am the Editorial Assistant over at Digital Artist Magazine. Now that's one job that keeps me very busy, but I love it! We have been having a major shake-up of things which is really good. We have parted ways with some of the team members, bought some new ladies aboard, had a huge change over from previous Editor, Nancy Comelab (such a sweet woman!), to our present Editor, Terri Martin..... woohoooo go sis-in-law! (Yes, we are related....lol, she married my brother Drew, personally I don't know how she puts up with him!) We have implemented a new style for the magazine which we love and are still fine tuning the little things, we have added loads more inspirational articles and features into the magazine and lastly, we are about to release the new website which is absolutely stunning! We have had a few set backs but we are growing and learning a little more every day. We have so many fun things coming up, so don't forget to check the blog for any news!

Ok, time for some fun stuff.... now I am totally in-love with H. of 3! I want to live there....seriuosly. Do you think Heidi, Rhonna or Janet will let me crash on their couch for a night or two? I bet they would too...lol. So it's there house warming party from February 28th to March 1st. There will be loads of new products, inspirational videos and giveaways!!! So you know where I will be tonight don't you, over at H. of 3!


I'm on my way over there now to take part in the fun, come on over and join in!

What a chubby little face....aaaawwwwwww! Speaking of birthdays, my girlfriend up in Sydney gave birth to her first child at 10pm on the 3rd of October. A little boy named Oliver and boy is he one gorgeous buba. I have to say, I have seen quite a few "not so cute" looking babies after they have been born. I even thought my eldest DD looked a bit like a monkey or was it ET????? Seriously, but seeing little Oli and watching Megan (my Australian bestie, not to be confused with the bestie I was talking about above) and her hubbie Sean try and dress the poor little buba, had me in stitches. They both have that new parent "I might brake him" syndrome going on. It gave me a good laugh sitting back and watching.
Whilst we are still on the subject of birthdays, guess who celebrate their 3rd birthday last Friday.... my one and only muma's buba... yes I'm talking about little miss Jada Lili! Happy Birthday Baby, she is getting so big and so independent now. But she still lets me roll her up in a ball so I can cradle her in my arms and say "oh look at muma's buba" and rock her a few times before she starts swingin' at me to put her down. Here's a photo of her blowing her candles out last Friday night.
No, I didn't bake the cake. That's why they have bakeries....lol! She loves chocolate mud cake, so do I for that matter. I'll take any cake, really. I love cake. I want to have a bumper sticker made with I heart cake on it. Jada is having a little party for her birthday on Saturday with a jumping castle which I know she will love. A few kids from the neighbourhood are coming, that she plays with in the afternoon and we will be having another chocolate mud cake!

Ok, here's a few photo's of Jada and her big sis Octavia riding her new scooter she got for her birthday. The scooter has two speeds, really fast or nice and slow. Jada has had it on two wheels going around corners so now she has to wear a stack hat in case she comes off it. I tell you, this puppy flies on high speed. You have to run along side her to keep up.

She had a ball with it, especially doubling her sister on the back. Of course Octavia wants one now but I'm looking into getting her a four wheeler motor bike. FUN FUN FUN!!!!!!


Ok, before I finish my first entry on my new blog, I'd like to thank Shabby Miss Jenn for the gorgeous Shabby Blog Kit I used for my blog. They are so easy to install and use, and they look gorgeous too!
I'm off to have a look at what's new around digi land. I've missed so much!

A little about me!

Ok, my name is Diana but you may call me Didee, Deedee or Di, which ever you prefer. I live in a country coastal town on the south coast of Australia and I have two wonderful girls Jada and Octavia. I care for my disabled mum fulltime and she lives with us also.
