My little girl turns 18 TODAY!

Wow do you believe it, Charlene turns 18 today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHARLENE and if I am correct I know that it will be a very stressful day for her trying to get ready for her party tonight. But hopefully she will not stress and enjoy her day, no plans just yet but I am sure she will have me running around doing something. She already rang me at 6am this morning stressing because Stephen went and got her birthday present (a puppy) and it was spewing and shitting everywhere. I was not impressed to be woken by a screaming girl on the other end, I just said give the puppy time to settle in!

Last night she came over and Andrew and I decided to give her birthday present early to her as Andrew will be at work all day today. I took some photos of her when she opened the box she was quite surprised and even had tears in her eyes. We bought a beautiful belcher bracelet and locket, yeh dont ask me how much it was but this girl is breaking my bank. It is a bracelet like the one that Andrew gave me the first year we were together but mine is rose gold. I did take a photo of it but just checked them and it is too blury. But I will put up a couple photos of her opening her present. I hope you have a wonderful day today Charlene and hope you have a great night tonight no drinking too much. Love you Heaps... And you are making me feel real OLD! Love Mum xxxx....

Now these are a few layouts and photos of her through out the years. This one is of her at 5 months old. Such an old layout but this was a class of Nikki's using Wild Asparagus papers. I do love it though and this was Charlene's first pixi photos she was nearly sitting up, but such a beautiful baby.
This layout is on her 2nd birthday, we bought her a swing set. She absolutely loved the monkey bars and would do all sorts of tricks and hang up side down on it. She always wanted to be outside on the swings she became an expert with them that is for sure.

This is a layout of Charlene's Formal last year, I absolutely love these layouts and photos. This was another class I did of Nikki's one of my favourites so I uploaded this one. I used the Basic Grey papers for all her formal layouts, yes and this also was another day which cost me a fortune, you gotta love girls they have such expensive taste!

And this layout is one of the most recent photos of Charlene taken in June while she was away in Newcastle and Sydney for the State of Origin. This was her first big trip away and first time on a plane. This layout was one I completed as a challenge at the Scrapbook City Retreat and the layout was judged by Karen Pedwell as best layout....
