Your partners most annoying habit...falling asleep on the lounge instead of putting himself to bed,everynight for 2 or 3 hourswith the tv blarring,he only goes to bed when i turn off the tele ,but if he goes to bed earlier ,he will turn the tv down...i just dont get that....
What stresses you out... kids not listening,accreditation time at work,routine that is out of whack
If I could change the world I would...abolish countries and create a citizens of the world society,free scrap products for all,equality for women,free world travel for all
Your favourite household chore…cooking...when im in the mood..all the rest are a chore

JUNE LONG WEEKEND 2007

It WAS supposed to be a 3 day scrapathon with some kiddie things throw in for good parenting...but it didn't end up that way

from thursday evening it startedand it didnt stop

all day friday.it pelted and rocked my work

we got home and were happy to get indoors safe and warm,then at 11 the power went out and
this weekend bought forth a deluge of rain and the biggest storms and flooding that i have never seen in this area and up and down the central coast and the hunter area..my camera battery has been flat and we have had no power for 48hours,but it has returned and we are dry and warm..will charge my camera and go and photograph some of the carnage littering our streets.

heres a few layouts from last week that i missed posting on here

one of the very FOXY robyn ..aka binrow, i simply had to scrap these piccies

and then paul,my partner.reigning king of the skateboard slalom aussie comps

then the gorgeous maz..trekker,free spirit ,world explorer

...hope you like them!!!!!!!!

our purpose for sunday 3rd of june

was to check out some new stock

increase our stash supplies

and have a fun day together

as we always do

we got to the paper craft festival at 10

and met linda aka higgiz

the the paying station

did a few hours of networking and shopping

caught up with my brother

left the festival and drove to woongarah(?)

for a quick bite to eat.found a delightful deli

i have the leek and bacon quiche with ceasar on the side

pam indulged in a thai chiken pie with a ceasar salad also

she finished with a take home chocolate gelato

while i treated myself to a raspberry and chocolate brownie

which i hid from the kids and ate when i they went to bed,,hehehe.

on the way home i conned pam into stopping

for a few shots by the hawksbury river.

we never seem to take enough pics,too busy chatting

but i really like these two.

.what do you think..worth the detour????????

a couple of layouts and a trip to Sydney

just finished off a layout

(using one of my fav colour combos,orange and blue)

for my scrap /road /school buddie

the lovely and very talented

SCRAPGODDESS

and a circle calendar for steph's childhood cj

i really should be crashed now.

but ive just check one of these layout and it some

bling on that rouge de garange pp.

trade show ,my budget is not what it could be

but ive purchased so much in the last few weeks

..i have to stop some where...yeah right

oh im so lucky...looky looky what came my way today..

.i've flown my broomstick all the way to W.A.

to collect the most awesome selection of tags from the

most talented of scrappers..

i love them all and i can see a little of every person on these cards

..great job girls...they look FABULOUS

How cute is this living doll?,Gorgeous Poppy captured in a moment, this photo shares a little bit of magic to the viewer...so how could i not copy and print it to scrap ...i'm sure Melissa doesnt mind..as all you scrappers know .aint it great to scrap a different face every once and a while..

the little patch is an original 70's clothing patch(i have a small stash of them)and it was waiting for the right layout.. this layout feel together very easily,because i used the technique..."what does to mummy(meaning melissa) like on layouts and bang ,there it was...the only thing missing is the little birdie..tweet tweet.

a new baby is such a joy for any family,so much love and untold happiness for all to share.

and i'm a lucky person to be able to share a little of this joy with my forum friend Donna ,who recently gave birth to adoreable TOBY..

now distance seperates us...and the fact that we have never met in real life..but we dont let this hold back our friendship...~you know when you just click with new ppl~..well i've been a little slack of late ..Donna has moved from one side of the country to the other and now she has settled into her new space with her new baby,gorgeous girl milly and mack..almost ready to scrap again..

ive been lucky enough to recieve wonderful photos of toby and the family ,and i wanted to give a little something back...hope you dont mind me scrapping this stunning photo of Toby.could you email your new addy donna..you have a package coming your way...

a layout for a forum friend..

i will be posting this one on to lucy this week and hope to catch up with her very soon.

busy weekend full of skater boys~the grown men type ~invading the house which left no space for scrapping ,boo hoo ..i did manage to pop this one together though..i hope she likes it

im just loving the fact that i've got today off...wooowoooowoohooooooooooo.
and that means scrap day~with some cleaning thrown in for good measure,so it looks like i've actuallly done something~
but not before i post this crooked layout...ohhps
i really need to work on that.
as you can see from my pics yeaterday , i couldn't wait to scrap these afternoon sunshine dancers...
now i best go do those chores....

wednesday is belly dancing day..we head off straight after school ,and its a 20 min drive ,so we are always early for class..today ,after a stop for the wed.arvo slushie we headed to the lake to take a few pics...heres a couple i just love...which means ,they may just get scrapped soon.they are printed and ready to go...

mojo ...mojo ,where are you???

i feel like i've lots ideas,but transfering them to paper is another thing all together.

so atm i feel like im bashing away and knocking my creative head against a brick wall

oh what to do..time off from scrapping..i dont think so ,i'll think i need a motivation spell

or some new product or photos

heres my latest two..the ballon page didnt come out like exactly as i'd hoped it would...but you get that...lucky ive printed a few of them,may have to give it another go

and the rock chick layout was a bit of slap happy scrap.!
