here is a layout that I have just finished. It's Sally & Joseph. I am rather pleased with the outcome. The weather here the last few days has been "ferral"! That's the only word to describe it. It's been blowing a gale since Saturday. At least the washing gets dry in quick time! lol

Thanks for looking and I hope you get to leave me a comment. :-)

as promised

As promised..... here are the boys as Christmas!

Taking photographs and gardening

Here are some photos that I took this morning - well the only decent ones.... I am determined to practise more with my camera.

I just love these little guys. I gave the surf lifesaver one (with the green and yellow cap) to DH as he used to be a surf lifesaver.

This proves you can have a chook (of the right kind) and a vegie/herb garden! lol
This is part of a flower stalk that grows about 6foot high.... It must be growing in the right conditions!

Yesterday I did a heap of gardening - weeding, trimming etc. After that was done I planted some new plants and seedlings. I planted coloured silverbeet, baby corn and a very different kind of pumpkin from Diggers. Hopefully they will all grow. I also planted some different coloured gazanias. They look lovely when the sun comes out.

Here are two layouts that I have finished today. I will have to do a layout about the boys' Christmas!
This is DS using his new bbq!

I have also done some gardening today. I will TRY to take some pics of the garden and post them here.

Photos

This photo was taken two weekends ago down at the pier. The water was so calm........ almost inviting.... ALMOST!
I took this photo this morning, before it got too hot outside. I am still learning how to take "super macro" shots. P.S. My tattoo is feeling fine today - just a little tender.

TATTOO

I finally got another tattoo!!! On my right thigh. Is basically the same one as Pink has on her left thigh. It took about 1 3/4 hours! i am very pleased with how it looks!

Sorry I have been a bit slack these past couple of weeks. I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and a great start to 2008! The weather has been very unpredictable - going from very hot to nice in one day! I will upload some Christmas pics later on. Next week hopefully will get back to some kind of normalacy!
Thanks :-)

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.
