Hi everyone, hope you are all well. I don't like to moan but I have had a really horrible day and I hate to say it's because of my little Dragonlette - she will not sleep through and I NEED SOME SLEEP!!!! She was up on and off from 3.30am onwards and I just find it impossible to get back to sleep after being disturbed. I went through a rather wobbly period of saying I was leaving and going to give up blogging etc etc...... but I'm not as I feel a bit better tonight. So now I have got that off my chest on to my layout.I find using Digital Scrapbook Artist 2 really relaxing and fun. So I decided to check out some of the layout sketches and picked this one from StuckOnUSketches........
..............which I thought was rather fun.
I chose some pictures I had taken last year of my first cake ................yes you read right............first cake.......mainly because if they are in the house they get eaten!!!!!! Anyway my eldest daughter wanted a Halloween party - ideal opportunity to make a cake and not eat it I thought!!!So there are a couple of challenges I would like to enter with this layout......
Moving Along With The Times - Anything but a card,
Shirley 2 Girls - Scary plus the word Boo,
Meljens Design Challenge - Halloweeny,
Simon Says - Halloween,
The Crafty Pad, I Did It Creations, One Stitch At A time and Lexi's Creations - all have a Spooky theme.
Please let me know what you think and also if you have any tips for getting a 4 year old to sleep through that would be fantastic.
Hugs

You have my sympathy! I've even managed to fall out with the neighbours cos my littl'un cried for nearly 2 hours last night :-( My crafting keeps me sane! Gorgeous layout and an amazing cake! Love 'n' hugs, Mel xx
Aww hun, I really feel for you - why haven't you emailed me??????? I wish I could help but am at a loss for what to suggest - have you tried lots of exercise about an hour before bedtime - not sure what sort though - something to wear her out!! I just don't know what else to suggest - I do hope you get it sorted - don't want you sleep walking around the NEC in November and no matter what else you do - you must never give up blogging!!!! I will not permit it - not after the grief you gave me!! LOL
Anyway, on to the layout - superb - so much detail - and great piccys - fabulous cake!!
Email if you need to talk or even to scream!!!!
Hugs

Sorry to hear you're going through a rough time. I am so miserable and grumpy if I don't get enough sleep! Hope that things improve for you soon and you can catch up on some sleep.
Beautiful layout and your cake looks spookily scrummy. Love all the little details.
Hope you have a better weekend and some sleep!
Take care
Love Elaine xx

wow I just love your take on the sketch. ness xx
Well my dear...I am NOT the one to talk to about getting children to sleep! My oldest (now 6) just started sleeping really regularly at age 4...however he got up before 5 am this morning and that was only a hour after I had to get up with my one year old (who doesn't sleep each night)! Boy do I understand the exhaustion of getting up almost every night (been doing it for about 6 years now!!!) So if you ever need to come cry about how tired you are...I will surely understand! =o)
(by the way I am part of the SOUS DT)
Okay so onto your wonderful page! Now I may be wrong on this but I think this may possibly be our first digital entry..either way its really fun and I love the splatter design border!!!!
Wonderful and thanks so so much for joining us!!!
Ah, yes, I remember those sleepless days and nights---it will get better and then, adolescence...more sleepless nights for different reasons!
Lack of sleep clearly has not impacted your MOJO-awesome page!!! Love it!
Thank you for joining us for Twisted Thursday at Shirleys2Girls!

WOW, wonderful layout!! Thanks for playing with us at S2G, please come back again
Very cute! Thanks for playing S2G TT. Good luck!
love your LO it is a great take on the sketch love x:)
Awesome! Great job with the sketch! Sorry you are not sleeping well, I've got four and cannont imagine dealing with that. I had one that didn't want to go to bed and I can only suggest that you get her to understand that she needs to stay in her room. If she comes and gets you make sure shes not sick, doesn't need the potty and don't discuss anything else, just back to bed. The more conversation you have with her the more she will be encouraged to stay up as she has your undivided attention. If you know she doesn't need anything don't say anything just put her back to bed, it may take a while, but she should get better. hOpe you get it sorted out soon, my son sleeps wonderfully! Oh and thanks for joining us at Lexi's!
