Again it has been so long since I have posted on my blog... oh dear!<br />
<br />
So the focus of my blog is going to take a bit of change, you may remember from my last post, the girls have started on the Modified Atkins Diet for seizure control. The girls started in October 2011 and the first couple of months were frankly hellish! We have come so far, the girls finally have the taste for fat and there hasn't been any cheating either... such good girls! The added bonus has been the 80% reduction in seizure activity, less sensitivity to bright lights, short time memory is improving out of sight... and we are starting to wean AED drugs!<br />
<br />
So to make MAD work for my girls, I have had to do a lot of research and experimenting in the kitchen which is not my thing at all but I am happy with what I have been able to come up with... so with this in mind, I thought I would give you a bit of a sneak peak at some of the recipes I have been working on.<br />
<br />
So here we go, these recipes are extremely high in fat and extremely low in carbohydrate... not for the faint hearted!<br />
<br />
MAD Friendly French Toast:<br />

See you all soon.</div>Krischelle Pagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07328045739930282781noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-438816086362207794.post-61316752264001874062011-11-22T19:17:00.001+10:002011-11-22T20:01:28.604+10:00A Personal Story...Hello Bloggers,<br />
<br />
Yes I have certainly been neglecting my blog and for that I apologise. We have been extremely busy here at home with school, volunteering, sick babies, ballet, swimming lessons, speech therapy and OT. And all this while Daddy is away. <br />
<br />
On top of all of this we have been travelling a journey with an unknown outcome... well sort of, let me explain!<br />
<br />
A little bit of background for those followers who don't know me personally. My husband and I have two beautiful little girls, Olivia and Lorelei. They are identical twins and they share most things including the same cherry birthmarks, the same little skin tags and both having Kenyon's turned in little fingers - yeap they are very identical! They were once described (by a specialist) as one in the same person, except for that last little bit on DNA!<br />
<br />
Well on top of twin identity confusion, our beautiful girls suffer from a rare condition that causes them to have seizures. It is not the type of seizure that most people recognise but effects their day to day life, cognitive function and in some ways their ability to communicate. But in saying that, our girls are fighters, they are very social and high functioning considering what they have to deal with everyday. <br />
<br />
This type of epilepsy is uncontrolled by medication, and with each of the girls having in excess of 80 seizures a day, we were looking for something to give the girls a break from their constant companion. It came in the form of a dietary treatment called 'MAD' (Modified Atkins Diet), most people understand the basis of this diet but when controlling seizures in children.... it is an incredible stressful balancing act. It is so hard to describe how I feel... filled with hope and doubt all at the same time!<br />
<br />
So I wanted to share the musing of one of the mum's on the Modified Atkins Diet for Seizures support group... I held my breath when I read this, as it put all that I feel into the exact words in hear in my head and heart everyday.<br />
<br />
<em><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Marlene posted this to a Modified Atkins Diet for Seizures (MAD) Support list that has
been a Godsend, in response to a Mom who posted Ref. Being Disheartened...
My response:<br /><br />Tea Mails are my "Pour a cup a tea and relax a moment" (aka
I'm going to ramble a bit, ya may want a drink while reading LOL!)<br /><br />The
way I see it per se is this, we've lived through what many can't fathom let
alone begin to understand. <br /><br />We've learned more medical terminology and
specialties that many Drs don't touch upon during their entire careers.
<br /><br />We've not only thought outside box to find whatever answers, hints,
potential clues even... That you wouldn't find us near anything that slightly
resembled a box-like shape ;)<br /><br />With that being said... And on a more
serious note...<br /><br />If anyone were to say they weren't disheartened along the
way... Hmmm I'd be up to challenge that... 'Cause how could any of us *not*
be... The beast we are fighting is something that truly no one has the answers
as it effects each of our children, and adults to the point each are unique with
not only what can trigger but what type and/or duration of seizures it may
trigger (or not) etc. <br /><br />We are in essence life long detectives racing to
solve this mystery that in many cases robs our children of their very life, the
life we dreamed of while expecting them, adjusted a bit once the first gutting
blow of a diagnosis hit, and so on and so forth... and we all just don't speak
of it. Instead we run a grueling race just as fast and hard as any marathon
athlete, because we are keenly aware that the ultimate price that could happen
if we stop searching, doing, or solving the puzzle each teeny, tiny piece by
piece, is an unspeakable tragedy and the beast has no mercy on whom it chooses
to rip from us in a blink of an eye...<br /><br />So we hold on tight with every
fiber of our being, at a cost that will and can never be totaled, and cling to
our magnifying glass with all we have in the very core of our beings to solve
our loved ones mystery of...<br /><br />Ultimately we all secretly celebrate each and every seizure
free moment, pray for the seizure free days, weeks etc. Truth be told we all
secretly sometimes don't speak of even *those* for a fear of "jinx-ing it" or
such... Also almost as equally disheartening :(<br /><br />I have always said, and
will always say you must go with your gut... (No pun intended) if you think you
need to go pure, change timing, let your loved one sleep in, or any other
"feeling" you get that may, (or may not) be the next piece... Its always a
piece, just were it fits or when... We haven't quite gotten the full clear
picture to cheat from yet...<br /><br />We're all working on it and some way,
somehow we will continue to do so until we get the answers...<br /><br />We will get
disheartened, we will get weary, we will have many days of a multitude of
emotional turmoil, but what we won't do is give up.... Not while a breathe is in
us to breathe. <br /><br />Nor will we stop helping and supporting others on the
same journey... as in doing so we too are carried.</span></em> <br />
<br />
So I dedicate this post to all those facing this condition, beloved family, friends and strangers. I am up for the fight, one day at a time.<br />
<br />

Hello All,</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Well it has been forever since I have posted on my little old blog, and for that I am very sorry! Since my last post we have been to the states, trying to sort out speech therapy and occupational therapy for the girls...and our big news is that we have been successful in accessing a diet therapy for the girls seizures, so as you can imagine my time has been trying to research the 'MAD' (Modified Atkins Diet) in preparation for our start date. I will be back very shortly to show you what we are up to - scrapping, family and life on the MAD therapy!</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
See you all soon, Krischelle</div>

<br />
<br />
<br />It has been a while since I have posted on my little blog and I do apologise. I am not sure why it's been so longe since I have posted anything, but I know we have been busy with school holidays and life in general really.
<br />
<br />
<br />I have found yet another craft to put my hand to and I love it! I didn't think I would love it and to be honest after getting home from our tutorial, I was exhausted, not happy with my creation and had decided there and then, that I wouldn't get into this craft. That didn't last long and I dreamed of fondant that night.... then prompty reversed by decision and got out last week and grabbed some tools to continue the creative inspiration!
<br />
<br />
<br />So what did I want to show you.... my creation from our girls night out! We had Rachael from <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Fun-with-Fondant/201976469840053">Fun with Fondant</a> come to show us how to make Fondant (or plastic icing, as the man from the cake decorating shop called it!), how to colour it and then how to apply it to our cake and embellishments.
<br />

<br />
<br />So what do you think, not too bad for a first attempt and my mum has already commissioned me to make a cake for one of the girls at work. And I have found some great little (literally, being 10cm spring form pans) gift idea! In fact, the gentleman from the cake shop told us if you are into Scrapbooking, Paper Tole, quilting... basically any craft, cake decorating comes very easily - well that's me right the way through!
<br /><div></div>
<br /><div></div>
<br /><div>Rachael was wonderful, with all the tools, ribbons and colours available for us to use and she is available for tutorials for larger groups too! Make sure you check out Rachael's facebook page for details.</div>
<br /><div></div>
<br /><div></div>
<br /><div>Thanks for coming by for a look and apologies for my friends on facebook if you have already seen these pictures.... just a little too excited!</div>
<br /><div></div>
<br /><div></div>
<br /><div>Till next time, Krischelle</div>

We have been friends since high school and after seeing some of my layouts when the family were back in Australia for Christmas, she asked me to create a layout for her mum for Mothers Day. I must admit, I was terrified... I love creating memories through scrapbooking, but they are for me... not someone else. But after fretting for a good while, I came up with the layout below and I just love how it turned out.<br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Isn't he a such a gorgeous little boy, as you know I don't have a boy and although I was worried about the finished project... I just loved the creative process and producing a layout about Saxon.

What is your guilty pleasure? For me, I don't like coffee, I don't eat a lot of chocolate... and most of you would know I can't have wine... so for me, my indulgence is my desire to create! It's my craft... from knitting... sewing to papercraft of all types. Yeap, that's it... fabric, ribbon, paper, cardstock, beads, felt, paint, ink, punches and tools of all sorts - I just love it!<br /><br />So this is my layout for this challenge, just a little insight into my craft world... I am sure Kenyon would tell you it is much larger than what you see here.... he he he....<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggYoWyGvcHvyNoJK_XmB2uBaeEZTbUiWr3U8QLePn4njaZfmXirIB0EcymnsgGQwR9trKTIPFwiOZ3Sj0E-1YE2-opYJ7OqWS6LsvzOuBcT4LETH_-29Bmc-ZfXrBMyrWvuPqA_FwuJrw/s1600/ScrapTIffany_GuiltyPleasures_KrischellePage.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 395px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5606875401341466162" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggYoWyGvcHvyNoJK_XmB2uBaeEZTbUiWr3U8QLePn4njaZfmXirIB0EcymnsgGQwR9trKTIPFwiOZ3Sj0E-1YE2-opYJ7OqWS6LsvzOuBcT4LETH_-29Bmc-ZfXrBMyrWvuPqA_FwuJrw/s400/ScrapTIffany_GuiltyPleasures_KrischellePage.JPG" /></a><br /><br />And I wanted to show you a little close up of the flower I made for my layout, it was the first time I have used the Cosmo Cricket Glubers... and I love them!

(and just so easy scrapping my girls...) but I enjoy trying to stretch myself and so we have my layout for this challenge. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>As my journalling states, I found it hard to find true friends younger in life... until I met Kenyon and as I sat watchng the Royal Wedding and thinking about the challenge, it gave me time to reflect on the vows of my wedding day and the commitment we made to each other. Our friendship is just so important to me that I commit to those vows each and everytime I hear them.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Why not try one of Scrap Tiffany's challenge, check out all of the talented Design Team's work and send yours in to Tiffany. </div>Krischelle Pagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07328045739930282781noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-438816086362207794.post-21644780001462581092011-04-15T17:41:00.004+10:002011-04-15T17:48:52.622+10:00Scrap Tiffany - Stamping ChallengeHello Bloggers, What a wonderful week of artistic expression! I had a great time with the Blog Hop and got some great ideas for future projects! How about you? Well to back this up, our next challenge is to include stamping in our project. I just love stamps and I have a wonderful collection but somehow I am unable to use them on a layout. So I dug out my beautiful stamps and created the layout below. <br /><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 385px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595712584425088306" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWMtLymWOz60dDq1cNBEuhIAmCpYA_TCEl3xHZkuxZiYxOcdBPC5TrIjAlXsrpCCgIo-S_n5UM4jiE-EMk9l21NQDJ_vFZBYCTHmhGVAOmJO5W4OVZNdQEqaREQPTMI_Q7p0SDdRlRIPM/s400/ScrapTiffany_StampChallenge_KrischellePage.JPG" /></p><br /><p>So if you are like me and have a collection of stamps and rarely use them, why not have a go at a card or layout for this months challenge and send it into Tiffany.

Using the Vagabond and cuttlebug die to create the butterflies and then get homemade on the stitching to create this look.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhggF1MkhyjvGoSlBYqIUIfSVC9krSfgSZXckC_XBb_jzNrnTPbpkD3ZsehouD6_cJjuOOU-d9cJQkqRqVGDV-cOWYKBzMdiULCIxIHmz1hrolgKUdZRdAnIimKa9KyDn7UHPDqlRP_-A0/s1600/Framed+Butterfly.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 365px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5586721021203550290" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhggF1MkhyjvGoSlBYqIUIfSVC9krSfgSZXckC_XBb_jzNrnTPbpkD3ZsehouD6_cJjuOOU-d9cJQkqRqVGDV-cOWYKBzMdiULCIxIHmz1hrolgKUdZRdAnIimKa9KyDn7UHPDqlRP_-A0/s400/Framed+Butterfly.jpg" /></a> And finally, this is just georgous. Again using the cuttlebug die and cut 7 butterflies, ink the edges and underside of each butterfly. Using glue dots, attach the centre of each butterfly and fold up each layer of the wings. Once this is done, go back through each wing and using a pop glue dot prop up each wing - this will ensure they don't drop flat over time.</div><div> </div><div>So what do you think?<br /><br /><br /></div><div></div></div>Krischelle Pagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07328045739930282781noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-438816086362207794.post-84183564661560042862011-03-16T20:34:00.004+10:002011-03-16T21:03:47.550+10:00Purple Day for EpilepsyHello Bloggers,<br /><br />Well I don't often do plugs, but 'Purple Day' is really close to my heart. An explanation is required... Somedays I feel I am surround with Epilepsy - our girls have to deal with daily seizures, numerous medications, side effects from the epilepsy, side effects from the medications and the difficulties it presents in an eductational setting. And now another precious family member is suffering the frustrating journey that epilepsy creates. <br /><br />So I would like you to tell you about Purple Day, it is a worldwide day to increase the awareness of Epilepsy. So on the 26th March 2011, please think about wearing something purple, baking some yummy purple goodies or just donating to assist researchers in their search for answers or a cure.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAYQOCokxe3U7Y5KkQ-cAaandI_0zLDBJsMe1X_Tz3aQtllSSAwe2J1Nt1soWLEnYnenYHbwSVQBVj6AhnrbnZHiT4JaTiEAGQfS_w2liE9QdJWtKbkpvp0_-3dC-oYB7p1g6kW-ziHZs/s1600/IMG_5134.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 477px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 232px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584630168472086482" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAYQOCokxe3U7Y5KkQ-cAaandI_0zLDBJsMe1X_Tz3aQtllSSAwe2J1Nt1soWLEnYnenYHbwSVQBVj6AhnrbnZHiT4JaTiEAGQfS_w2liE9QdJWtKbkpvp0_-3dC-oYB7p1g6kW-ziHZs/s400/IMG_5134.JPG" /></a> <div></div><div> </div><div>Enough about that, I am organising a little fundraiser at school including a morning tea and craft for the kids to do... so I came up with a wristband made from grunge paper, a bit of ink and some stamping - what do you think?</div><div> </div><div>Till next time, Krischelle</div>Krischelle Pagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07328045739930282781noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-438816086362207794.post-2532309112900477602011-03-15T19:39:00.005+10:002011-03-15T20:20:28.631+10:00Scrap Tiffany - 'Beauty' Challenge<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNRrB3vQxr-RMnoppvmcwdaIMu9bXKSZU4yjGA9xxrufnGnU0X92Yj2kxxc74neGUHR8GCdIEsQK_NQQYbrLISK673oz2LdXfOzP2xdCBPTAPt11BBAuH6tgdjevoU1jHgYGpOfEM1Wl0/s1600/ScrapTiffany_Beauty_KrischellePage.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 399px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584239469731518962" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNRrB3vQxr-RMnoppvmcwdaIMu9bXKSZU4yjGA9xxrufnGnU0X92Yj2kxxc74neGUHR8GCdIEsQK_NQQYbrLISK673oz2LdXfOzP2xdCBPTAPt11BBAuH6tgdjevoU1jHgYGpOfEM1Wl0/s400/ScrapTiffany_Beauty_KrischellePage.JPG" /></a><br />Hello Bloggers,<br /><br />Seems that these days I am only able to post is when a Challenge is due - apologies! Well this challenge was one I hadn't thought about much... but once I sat down and choose a photo, pulled all the supplies together, it became a very special layout. Special, as my grandmother passed away late last year and I had been wanting to create a layout to celebrate her life. Included on this layout is a poem that my Dad read out at the funeral and it just reflected my Grandmother so beautifully.<br /><br />Just in case you can't read my journalling, I have included the peom below.<br /><br />God looked around His garden and found an empty space;<br />He looked down upon the earth and saw our tired face;<br />He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest;<br />God's garen must be beautiful, he only takes the best;<br />He knew that you were suffering and he knew you were in pain;<br />He knew that you would never get well on earth again;<br />He saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb;<br />So he closes your weary eyelids and whipsered 'Peace be Thine';<br />It broke our hearts to loose you;<br />But you didn't go alone for part of us went with you the day god called you home.<br /><br />Thank you for coming by to look at my layout, be sure to pop over to Scrap Tiffany to have a look at all the creative cards and layouts from the Design Team.<br /><br />Till next time, KrischelleKrischelle Pagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07328045739930282781noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-438816086362207794.post-14175553759802322402011-03-01T20:52:00.002+10:002011-03-01T21:03:30.127+10:00Scrap Tiffany - Sports ChallengeHello Bloggers, It is that time of the month again and below is my twist on the latest Scrap Tiffany challenge... its a twist on the sports theme... as we are really not a sports family - we don't watch sports... we don't play sports... we just don't do sports, unless you call playing the Wii sports!

All my family and friends are high and dry and we are very thankful to all who are assisting in getting the people of Queensland back on their feet!</div><br /><div></div><div>On another note, it is challenge time over at Scrap Tiffany and this time was a sketch challenge.

My name is Krischelle and I am bringing you this week's Tuesday Tutorial!<br /><br /><div><div><div><div><div><div>I am just in love with doilies at the moment, so I am going to show you what you can do with grandma's old doilies!</div><br /><div>If you don't have any doilies at home, head on down to your local thrift store and grab your self a bag of doilies at a bargain price - I think I picked up 20 doilies for about $8. I personally like the handcrafted doilies, but commercially produced ones will also work.<br /></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560121960342186386" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8VBD-ffzWmeKY7KqyK5Edz8QZQrA1P_3Jql40XK9822-12FzUgpga5mQKVQf-zNWhb6jVlLwVwZ1I1rqI237Fyifdwlkny0Oyp-csem_6UTjGB18AAi9nAPUNIQbjMDHHUSsWhspIXiI/s400/ScrapTiffany_TT_Krischelle_Doilies.jpg" /><br /><div>You can then go one of two ways to recreate your doily, either water die your doily or alternatively you can paint your doily. I like the depth of colour that fabric paint creates so I have used Pebeo Setacolor Opaque metalic fabric paint.<br /></div><div></div><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 407px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 349px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560122787390128034" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjctWwgcdeoAOCDWX0-cPn0G8Lpn1twyz6IYWAkqKiU3kuv6UlIXl_en1gKLgusbn1AZd_lkzfL79BRD5xiovaDm0Cl0ZAFmwltQnZUUI6PptBK7g5EWeVN5yuiDqrMx0Gelcz01zls7uo/s400/ScrapTiffany_TT_Krischelle_Supplies+2.jpg" /></div><br /><div></div><div>Apply paint liberally with a foam brush, using a dabbing action.</div><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 396px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 299px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560123575413248898" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJjMMUwMs0NriIX8s52_xMjS7gp6de2zqrNWJWiKYynXsdssL_EwwjNx8dBwDDdcX_cQ-mSkumM4miGCU14V1Vl32AwGMMd7xytdA-A7031veHsXz2_P6kjJDTwnL-aqDqJDOj2vfYd7c/s400/ScrapTiffany_TT_Krischelle_Doilies+Process.jpg" /><br />Set the doily aside to dry. </div><br /><div></div><div><div><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 404px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 339px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560124421522829490" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJMe9r1sjBzi-6kriP3p8zMAS0Hxm07tkH7VQZ6EGoWKHypxmFaytYTBH55Ln7a1o0y6S1MnoixOtqBLixElsSBgHA5eeYFop5WSLTYEqxymbxW6asjx8YywG-tKYnow5nVHAMe6PyALg/s400/ScrapTiffany_TT_Krischelle_Painted+Doily.jpg" /><br /><div>Just to ensure that the paint is entirely set, make sure you follow the instructions for the fabric paint and this fabric paint require you to set the colour by ironing (no steam) for 5 minutes.</div><br /><div></div><div>TIP: Just because you are using a doily in a layout, doesn't mean that the layout needs to be girlie!
