This layout was done earlier this year. I still like it.

today i got a new hairdo! will have to take a pic to show you. Tonight is DH work Christmas party that I organized. Hope it turns out well. I will let you know. The weather here lately has been terrible and very unpredictable. We have had a couple of really hot days, but today is lovely. Haven't managed any more scrapping yet. We put up the Christmas decs this morning and our home looks lovely thanks mainly to DH!!!!
take care!

some news

another arty layout that i enjoyed doing......... a real blast from the past!

I am still working full time at the moment, but soon will come to an end. Today was so darn hot!!! It was 35C here and that is way too hot for me~~~~

Thanks for the visit to my page!

another fun layout

This is another fun layout. It's about Larry when he was about 10 months old at the local beach.

latest layout

This is my latest layout. I have busy working and have found it hard to get my creative brain working! This is a fun layout!

Still busy at work! Here's a pic of one of my fav singers. His "new" cd is worth buying I think. It sounds a lot like his old stuff which is pretty good.

It has been so windy here the past couple of days! DH is still painting the lounge room. It's looking nice and fresh. When it's done, I will take a photo to show. Still working and enjoying it. Not much news to tell.
Hope you all have a great week.

This ATC is for a challenge on BB. The ATC has a pocket.

Still haven't had time to take photos. Still working!!!! lol I did finish 9 ATCs but silly me forgot to photograph them :-( I did remember to scan another one that I have finished!

Hello! Sorry i haven't updated in the past week. I have joined the workforce - temporarily - for the Australian Electoral Commission. I love it! Today I finished early so am home and can look at the computer!
I am doing an ATC swap at the moment and have done the front of the cards, now I just have to do the back and can send them off.
Thanks for visiting!
will write again soon

cleaning up

This was a couple of nights ago. I hired a skip and were cleaning up after work. DH is cutting up the old corrugated iron to throw out. I love the sparks!! kind of like have a huge sparkler!

ATC

This is an ATC (artist trading card). It was created for me by Saimba from BB when we did an ATC swap. Isn't it fantastic??!! On the crown is stamped princess which is kind of my nickname on BB.

Obviously, this is about my sister. She makes/sews/beads the most beautiful wedding gowns. I preferred to do this layout in the "simple" style as the "arty" style just didn't suit the classic style.

MONDAY

This is when my sister Barbara flew to Sydney for work and we met her there while we stayed there for a week.
This is in Noosa when we were there on holidays in May this year.

more layouts

This is my nephew, Steven and my great-niece Lili.

LAYOUTS

These are some layouts that I have done over the past couple of days. I had a very productive day today seeing as I didn't need to go to work!

These next two layouts, I use the same idea, but with different pics and get a slightly different result.

Some pics taken yesterday afternoon after the rain. These are only small pics not meant to be enlarged.

This is a canvas I did for my great-niece Lili. I just had a call from her mother, my niece, and the canvas got there safely and they love it. Bridget is going to hang it on the wall tomorrow!

I am really pleased with how it turned out.

Monday

Here are some close-ups of the clothes at my daughter's web site. They are of exceptional quality and so lovely to see and feel. I am sure if you visited, you would love to buy some for your princess! :-)

layout

This is my latest layout and it's for AUSSIEDARES number 32. I really enjoyed making it :-)

4p.m.

Well, it's just gone 4p.m. and we are still having the most wonderful thunder storm complete with lightning and hail and of course rain!!!! wish my camera was waterproof so i could get out in it!!!!

side tracked

Well we are renovating our home. Have just finished our son's room....... hasn't lived here for a few years, but I guess will always "be his room'. It looks fantastic. Anyway, we are up to do doing the playroom/junkroom and my craft room.
What am i doing here......... well i got side tracked!!!! had to get all my scrapping stuff out of the playroom to sort through it...... I found all these wonderful altered books that I used to do before I started scrapping. I am amazed at what I have done.
I have organized a slide show of one of the books..... will do more later.
THANKS

Monday

Last week we had lunch with my friend. She got her motor bike licence a few months ago. A couple of weeks ago she surprised us and bought a scooter! She is one fantastic "gutsy" woman!

That is something I wished that I had done.

Doesn't she look happy~~!!

Have just added another slide show of my scrapping layouts, old & new. The wind is still ferral here! Looking from inside out, it looks lovely, as the sky is blue!
Hope you all have a great weekend!
