Quick Sharies.....

Just thought I would quickly share what I have been up to in the last couple of days
I did this LO on Tuesday. I took a quick trip to the fabric shop near here that specialises in ballroom costumes and dance wear, for a few pieces of felt...well.....I came home with all sorts of bits and bobs...fabric shops are now to be considered really really dangerous!!!!! The butterfly and red flowers are actually embroiery patches...and I like um!!!, so much so I started this LO about 20mins after I walked in the door...naughty mummy I know, but I just wanted to have a play....lol


I have made this handbag mini album for my mum, it's about my grandma...lots of bits from the fabric shop experience ended up on this too....lol


well, thanks for having a lookie, and I think the warning for today is perhaps, although fabric shops can most certainly get the mojo flowing, DON'T GO, without a healthy wallet and lots of time to play....LOL

Firstly the GRUNDGEBOARD arrived at Cyberscaps on wednsday...and let me tell you it looks totally amazing!!!! can't wait to play with it today!!!!

anyways here's some of the efforts of the last couple of days

this first one is my OLW challenge. Using the word 'step'. well these are my son's size 15 school shoes and my newphew Toby's size 0 sandels....so hard to believe that I once bought a similar pair for Kris, now a small family could live in his shoe....LOL



These other LO's inclued one using the new 'Rusty Pickle' papers that I am totally in love with!!!

New stuff, New stuff, NEW STUFF!!!!!!

Oh Man, we have soooo much beautiful new things in the shop right now!!! yesterday was my first day back in the shop after the Chrismas break and woweeeee, YUM YUM YUM.

I'll start at the beginning

Basic Grey' s new 'Two Scoops' range is in and it is TOTALLY Fab. There are no more die-cuts, they are all stickers YEAH!!!!!! the alhabets and shaps are just to die for and the chipboard to soooo cool...and all shelf adhesive too!!!

beautiful girlie papers, but not one to stick to the obvious the first LO I did with it was all all four of my kids, so with 3 boys in the pic, I stuck to the blues within the range



Now I guess this stuff isn't 'hot of the press' new, we have had it a little while, but I have been meaning to do something with Marah Johnsons 'coffee' range for a while. I did this canvas, and I will probably hang it in the shop. I don't know about you guys, but I am a total coffee addict...about 15...or so, cups a day. Really really really should cut down!!!


Now Rusty Picky have brought out this really cool range of acrylic mini ablums, they come in all sorts of shapes and are really fun to work with, I used the new fancy pants double sided parer on this one as well as Kaisers new self adhesive felt strips....another new love of mine.

Rusy pickle also have a new range of papers that are just to die for...will probably get onto those on Wednesday



So I hope everyone is surviving the school holidays...rock on the 29th I recon!!! not that the kids have been too bad, and I must say I do enjoy the lazy mornings, even if Ronin still wakes at 5 am and a sleep in is impossible, I can potter abound without having to watch the clock.....NIOCE!!!!!

well, I guess I will be back on wednesday

BIG HUGS

Happy New Year!!!!!

Hey Guys...I hope everyone has had a safe and Happy new year!!!

I was really really boring...I actually went to bed at about 9pm, no real celebrations for me. We had a lovey luch on new years day with the family though...all of us together makes 17 people, quite a party all on it's own!!!!

Well, I made a pretty thing today that I thought I would share. Not 'exactly' scrapbooking a guess, although it contains most of the elements...just no paper or photos LOL


I am going to put her on my dressing table, you see I made a smaller one for my sister Rebekah for her birthday, only red, and I was happy enough with the results to make one for me...just bigger!!!! I just she stands about 40cm tall, no where near Hazel...so perhaps I should call her peanut!!

Have a good one

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well guys, it's Christmas eve, and I do hope everyone is rushing around in a mad panic, just so I don't feel alone!!!!

Like most mummies I have a late night of wrapping and arranging ahead of me, but I thought I wouls just quickly drop a post to say that I hope everyone has a great....and somewhat relaxing Chrissy and that the new year brings joy and happiness to you all!!!!!!

I also thought I would just quickly thank all those wonderful people that have said such wonderful and encoraging things in regard to my HM's and masters entries...THANK-YOU so much (I feel very special!!!)

Heres a couple of LO I did at a crop on Saturday at the fabulose Lexie's house!! thanks to to all the ladies there it was great to put some faces to the names and take some time out from the christmas rushing around and met you all!!!!




Again MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and yours!!!!!

(((((((((((((BIG SQUISHY HUGS))))))))))))))))))

The SM Masters issue is out!!!!!

Firstly HUUUGGGEEEEEE CONGRATULATIONS to those who made masters and to all the other amazingly talented ladies that got HM's!!!!!! well done everyone

I thought I could post up my entries now that the issue is out...here they are

This is my Single LO...it's on my #2DS Scott....I was really happy with it to be honest



This is the infamous 'Hazel'...she was lucky enough to recieve an Honorable mention...GO HAZEL.....LOL, anyways she is supposed to be my storage solution...she is currently sitting in the corner of my bedroom, doing what Hazel does best...sitting around looking pretty...I might bring her into the shop for a little while...if you want to see her IRL



This is My double...not good pictures I am afraid, but I think you get the general idea. I also got a HM for this. I did it on my elest son Kris, simply because when I first read the run down in the mag the double was to be on the most significant even in your life...and for me that was definatley becoming a mum, and all I could think was 'well Kris...it's has to be you'



And this is my 'mini album'....I guess I stretched the rules a little here. It's an exploding box. '25 funky facts about me' is what I called it. Each one of those tags flip out and have a photo on one side and a 'fact' on the other. My Daddy helped me with the construction of it...it was quite a feet of engineering....lol



Well that's them...I was happy with it all in the end, and again CONGRATS to the winners and the other HM's...like me, I guess theres always next year

Big hugs

One Little word Challendge....and a week of LO's

Well guys, I have had a really busy week. Been here, there and everywhere it seems. But anyways, I have taken a little minute to update my Blog

Heres my take on the OLW Challenge. The word is 'Live' and I have done the LO on my beautiful angel Mikayla. I swear not a days goes by that I don't think about her or miss her with the whole of my soul, to me she will never be dead...she lives.....in my heart and my mind and my dreams.



So here is the others that I have done this week....a bit of mish mash of everything.












Today I am off to the shop for a couple of hours, and then heading down the Gold coast to spend a fortune of Kris's uniforms for next year...HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY.....NOT!!!!!

And we have a crop on this evening at Cyberscraps too...so at least that will be fun

anyways, have a good one

All About Eve Challenge

All About Eve's Challenge for this Fortnight is
'Hindsight' and I suppose I may do a few little things differently if I had the power of hindsight, but honestly not much...I problably wouldn't have gotten a wee bit too drunk at Lu's hens night...or perhaps I would have not spent some of the money I needed right before those massive bills came in...but not much eles I think. I recon that it's better to look forward, not backwards....so here's my LO



I also did these others in the shop yesterday. My first one from the wedding pics...anit my girl beautiful!!!!????!!!!!



And this is my Newphew Toby, we had a bit of a photo shoot on Thursday....man is this kid GORGEOUS!!!!! Love him to bits. Really I wanted to call the LO 'This kids got Chunk' cos his is a bit of a budda...too darn cute though for that

Thanks for popping by in my little world....I would love to know who comes by, so a comment would be really cool......Wink, Wink Wink!!!!!

Hugs and Kisses
