How was your Easter????

Did the Easter bunny come to you??? our easter bunny brought chocolate for everyone lese ...but mummy!!, never fear I am a great scavanger and there is plenty of it here to go round.

We spent most of our Easter break over at my mum and dad's. They have just put up a carport and Kelly went over to paint the underside of it. That in itself probably should have taken a day, but I got him to paint some outdoor furniture I have been eyeing off at mums while he had his spray gun out. Turned out to be alot more work that I first thought, but at least he got something done huh???LOL

I had every intention of getting some scrapping done over the break I imagined 4 days of relaxing paper bliss...not so, I did get one page done in bettween chasing the 2 year old around my mothers beautiful house, so I thought I would share



Ok so it's not the best work I have ever done, but it's...well...OK

Lu and I had a lovely 'Ladies' day yesterday, driving about a little in my Mummy's new car. A beautiful BRIGHT red Viva...LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT

Not sure what I am going to do today..to scrap or to clean? that is the question...hmmmm tough choice huh?

BIG HUGS to you and yours

What an EXPERIENCE!!!

I swear mother nature is out to get me!!!

let me start by saying I have never been mean or miss treated an anamil EVER...(except for perhaps getting up my cat for dropping field mice at my back door...I have a terrible fear of rodents)

I will start at the beginning.

Lu came over today for a bit of RS (recreational Scrapping) and about 11.30 we were into in it in my scrap room. The kids were playing quite happily and had just gone outside. Caeligh (lu's DD) had popped up at my scraproom window and I was leaning over my desk and chatting to her, Lu was sitting next to me. Next thing you know I feel something sharp (anf flappy) in the back of me head!!!! of course I screamed and dropped to the ground to the sound of Lu yelling 'Bird Bird' and we both ran outside. My Brother in law happens to be down on holiday so I yelled at him that there was a bird in the house as Lu and I exited the back (open ) door. 'What Bird???' Trevor asked. And would you believe we couldn't find it anywhere, and at this stage I hadn't even seen the damnedable thing as I had my eyes closed as soon as it attacked.
After a few minutes a VERY large magpie was spotted on top of my kitchen cupboards...see pic below. Now let me just say the thing wouldn't leave it flapped around and flew about for ages

Insult number 2.............

Now not only was I attaced by a Magpie IN MY OWN HOME!!!! the thing then processed to go back into my scrapping room and crap on my completed LO...ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH right in the photo. Here's a lesson for you all, bird poop is acidic and eats into photos. The LO is the green one below titled 'Refuge' and the 'r' an pearls were added later to cover the bird poop mark.

Adventually offcourse Trevor managed to get the thing out of my house, but really I would love to know what on earth I could possibly have done to upset mother nature...THAT MUCH that a bird flys into my house attacks me and then poops on my LO...really!!!!!!







Thanks for looking and reading....if anyone eles has any Bird related insidents I would LOVE to know

Big hugs

And now for some OTP sharies

Well I just thought seeing as I have done these things I might as well share them too

This first one is a Kasier Craft Timber canvas, basically a peice of MDF with a hole for hanging cut out of the back...but VERY nice to use and Very nice to cover in paper. The bling word is also from Kasier and at CyberScraps we have the whole range of them in pink and clear...totally gorgeous!!!!




This is a Scrapware tage album I have done. I used some monster playing cards to cover it and some really cool tape for the edges (thanks to the fab Lu for the 'vorrowing of product...again...lol)



And this is a decorative bucket that I made up for a friend of DH's baby. My little sister Trisha actually gave me the bucket for my birthday with a beautiful plant in it, and I had the flowers lying around for ages. The wings are Grungeboard and this stuff totally comes into it's own when you have to bend it around something...love love love



well me thinks that's it for now...busyy little blogger I have been in the last couple of days huh??

take care

Happy Monday

Hello Hello Hello

How is everyone???

I had a bit of fun in the shop today so I thought I would share....


This first one went all a big 'Bollywood' on me, can't exactly say how, but I sort of dig it





Now I know it is possibly a bit mean, but truely I don't understand why oh why my number 2 son has decided to play the Baritone. Let me tell you this monstrostity of an instrument sounds exactly like farting noises ...EVEN when it's played correctly!!! Nothing quite like 5pm in the afternoon when I am rushing around trying to get dinner ready and what not to the not so sothing sounds of Advance Australia Fair through a fart machine!!!!!....well that's my whinge and I am doen with it. I will say though part of me is just a little bit proud of the fact they he has choosen this thing, and is sticking with it...under what can only be decribed as intense scrutiny.

when thanks for having a lookie and a read, and I should be back tommorrow with my first Scrapware DT creations, I am having SOOOOOO much fun with this stuff!!!

BIG HUGS
